THE BEAST

“Whatever happened to Adam Duce?” wondered nobody. And yet, we have an answer, thanks to the former Machine Head bassist’s decision to publicly weigh in on his ex-bandmates’ new song and video,   “Kaleidoscope.”   To be clear, Duce hasn’t heard the song or anything. But that doesn’t mean he can’t judge the most important aspect of the clip — what the band members are wearing.

Says El Duce (screencaps at the bottom of this post, courtesy of   Lambgoat ):

“Not that I’ve heard any of this fuckery, nor have I listened to one song written since I left as I couldn’t be bothered, but these outfits look GAY AF!!! In my opinion I stayed with this outfit one too many records as it were. I knew the narcissist was going to crash the ship just watching the way he approached Locust.”

What a nuanced, thought-provoking view of his former band’s new music. If I might, though, I’d like to offer a retort:

1. Duce didn’t “stay with this outfit one too many records.” That phrase would suggest he quit the band. The correct phrase would be “ I was fired   by this outfit after one too many records.” I mean, it’s not as though Duce disputes that the band sacked him ( he does not ).
2. Anyone who can’t come up with a better burn than “GAY AF” in 2018 should report directly to their local natural history museum so they can be displayed with the other fossils.
