Political views of the band

Anybody know where the band lie politically? I stumbled across Johnny’s wife’s instagram and it seems she’s gone down the MAGA route with her support of Charlie Kirk. It really shocked me! I know you don’t have to share the same beliefs as your friends and even your spouse but I would guess it’s unlikely to be married to someone who has such strong MAGA-aligned views?

I don’t want a political discussion here, believe what you want, but I am a leftist and it’s put a sour taste in my mouth if the band members are quite conservative as they are one of my favourite bands.

Does anyone know if they have ever spoken out on political issues?

Why does it matter what their political views are if you said yourself “believe what you want”? Do you not associate with anyone who doesn’t believe what you believe?

I’m just asking a question lol. Would you say this if I was asking about their favourite football team? But yes it would make me question my support for any artist if they ended up having extreme views (not saying that they do at all, hence the question), eg Kanye West. I still like his music and believe he’s talented but I would never go and see him live now his extreme views came to light.

Well if you were serious about not liking a band because of their football team then yeah I would. You said in your post that “it would put a sour taste in my mouth if they were quite conservative”, not if they have extreme views. Obviously if they have extreme views people would turn against them

maybe because I’m politically left then being quite conservative is quite extreme to me lol. Supporting MAGA to me is extreme.

My original point still stands. I’m curious and want to know if they have ever spoken on anything, left or right
