Die Toten Hosen aren't punk and never have been. Unless looks equal content.
Germany stays true to the only punk band which never actually had been one. Fucking blimey great! How lovely of them. "F*ck*n, B*ms*n, Bl*s*n, alles auf dem Rasen" (To screw on the lawn) was probably the lyrics with which they reached the highest possible anarchist apex with the German punk scene and youth of the 80ies. And yeah, you can yell along to their anti-racist statements in B-Flat or D-Major. To me they aren't punk compared to what I consider to be punk, but they got that "politically correct" image sort of.
However they support PeTA, and that makes them suck so bad, because PeTA is pro "humane slaughter" - Newkirk endorses slaughterhouses designed by Temple Grandin - and PeTA is vehemently pro euthanasia and pro killing strays, they claim that an animal is better dead than not have a loving home. Some horrific crap like that. Just check PeTAs policies and stances on NO-KILL Animal Shelters and on why they are pro euthanasia.
Ok back to the Toten Hosen: Die Toten Hosen just really sadly don't have time to check up on things like that - and let alone ... they even wouldn't fucking care cos they aren't even vegan ... in the first place!
They don't have the time to be AS politically correct, cos they still pretend to bring punk to "the average German kid".
Well. Cheers!
DE ist der einzigen punk band die nie eine gewesen ist treu. HAHA. Der Sex im Grünen ist das einzige an Anarschismus das die Band in 30 äääächt laaaaaangen hervorgebracht hat. Und yay! Antirassimus zum Gröhlen damit unser einer das tolerieren will.
Die Toten Hosen sind scheisse und haben die deutsche punkszene kommerzialistisch voll abgefuckt. Campino for BuPrä kann ich da nur sagen. LOL
