In only a few quick months, america might be consumed by political debates as issues warmth up for the 2024 election. As typical, it will likely be a tense media circus and the actual losers it doesn’t matter what are us: individuals who simply need to reside our lives with out issues sucking. They are saying step one to constructing a greater future is imagining what it will appear like, which is why we’re contemplating the ten rock and steel singers we’d completely vote for in the event that they ran for workplace.

Be happy to tell us which rocker you’d vote for, or complain that Ted Nugent and Dave Mustaine didn’t make this record.

Randy Blythe

Severely, is there anybody in steel extra calm and picked up than D. Randall Blythe? The Lamb of God singer has been via so much in his life and all the time maintained a chill outer layer. Blythe has tried to keep away from affiliating himself with both aspect of the political spectrum, which is perhaps a pleasant change of tempo from the deeply-divided political events at the moment within the White Home. 

Devin Townsend

Very like Blythe, Devin Townsend is commonly recognized for his calm and cheap method to issues. Whether or not he’s discussing the method of creating his music, the impact merch cuts have on artists or what he’ll do subsequent, Townsend all the time comes throughout as targeted and cheap. We do get the impression that he’d slightly be writing music than operating a nation, although. 

Tony Foresta

We knew that we’d assist a Tony Foresta bid for president after Municipal Waste made their emotions about former president Donald Trump recognized through a T-shirt. Foresta says that he prefers to maintain politics out of music however has to attract a line someplace (“Fuck that man,” he says). Foresta could be essentially the most debaucherous president we’ve ever had however he’d additionally carry some lighthearted positivity to the White Home. Municipal Waste is gonna… rule the world?

Lzzy Hale

Having been lively in some type for over 25 years, Halestorm really feel like one of many final lively rock bands from a former technology. As their frontwoman, singer and guitarist Lzzy Hale embodies a rebellious spirit. Along with her vocal assist for LGBTQ points and ladies’s rights, that is one rocker we all know has her coronary heart in the proper place.

Mario Duplantier

Local weather change is likely one of the most essential points going through us at the moment. How we deal with issues like rising temperatures at the moment will have an effect on the standard of life for generations to return. Gojira drummer Mario Duplantier and his bandmates have lengthy saved nature on the forefront of their music, supporting numerous organizations targeted on saving the setting. If Duplantier abruptly determined to run for workplace, we’d definitely take heed to his concepts about preserving the planet. 

Scott Ian

Anthrax six-stringer Scott Ian secured our vote when he weighed in on the 2016 presidential election and threw his assist behind Bernie Sanders. “He’s the one one that may truly level out issues which can be unsuitable in America and he’s not bowing to the company fucking greenback or the NRA stronghold that America has grow to be,” he stated in 2015. The state of affairs in america at the moment feels not not like the satirical one on Stormtroopers of Loss of life’s Converse English or Die, so perhaps Scott Ian is the one to guide us to the sunshine. He’s positively a more sensible choice than Donald Trump. 

Blöthar the Berserker

Does this man even converse English? I for one welcome our new pus-spewing non-human overlords.

Dave Grohl

The Foo Fighters frontman is just like the rock scene’s enjoyable uncle at this level. Although they’ve performed the Biden inauguration and steadily supported Democratic candidates, Dave Grohl says Foo Fighters need to unite folks: “I’m an everlasting optimist, I attempt to inject just a little little bit of hope into every little thing I do. Music is one thing that may carry reverse sides of the spectrum into the identical area for a couple of hours of reduction. That’s the place I’d slightly be.” Severely—punks, metalheads, normies, your grandma, your dad—who wouldn’t vote for Dave Grohl?!

Lars Ulrich

Lars was proper, motherfucker, and we should always say it extra! Although he and his Metallica bandmates might in all probability have discovered a greater resolution, Ulrich appropriately predicted the impact that piracy would have on the music business at the moment. This may additionally in all probability get us a James Hetfield vice presidency, as a result of these two are in enterprise collectively for all times. Metallica have penned quite a few songs in regards to the horrors of conflict, so we will additionally assume they gained’t go in search of hassle.

Barney Greenway

The Napalm Loss of life singer in all probability doesn’t need to be president, if I needed to guess. Forming from leftist punk roots, Napalm Loss of life have lengthy been what they name a “human concepts” band, standing in opposition to organized politics, firms and Nazi bullshit for greater than 40 years. Greenway and his bandmates have launched numerous punks and heshers to new political concepts. The presidency wouldn’t be that a lot completely different, proper?
