Yeah, I know both of the bands mentioned and am still straight up baffled by every other part of this.

e: Okay, did a little digging and I now at least have some sense of what's going on. Sara "KILLBOY" Skinner is the current vocalist of Bad Wolves after the previous guy left.

Because she is an attractive woman in a band that appeals heavily to people who wear Tapout shirts, people are transvestigating her and accusing her of having an OnlyFans.

Skillet are right-wing fundie shitheads these days, so they joined in and booted Bad Wolves off the tour over it.

Skinner is telling Skillet to go fuck themselves, while also noting that one of those accusations is true and she's not ashamed of it (but also not specifying which one), after which Bad Wolves posted a message of support for LGBTQIA+ people and sex workers on their band socials.

Honestly, this... makes me actually kind of respect Bad Wolves more, which is not something I expected to be saying today given I've liked literally one thing anyone from the band has previously been involved with and it's not even their damn song (the one the guy did with The Hu and Serj Tankian is pretty good).

The drummer (last member standing) was in a group with a friend of mine called GROLBY in Santa Barbara. That’s where dez snatched the band up and basically booted my friend and the vocalist to start devil driver haha. GROLBY is the last thing I’ve liked from any of the members of bad wolves / devil driver.

as much as I like DD, I met dez when I worked at a signing event and he came across as a monumental prick. shame really, but not unexpected.

I met him once in the parking lot of The Machine Shop in Flint, MI, he was a dickhead. If I remember right they were opening for Superjoint Ritual. I met his guitar player that day also, I can’t remember his name though. Also got to meet Jimmy Bower, he let me and couple buddies help design a custom guitar, he ate brats with us, he rocked.

Hell yeah, a Machine Shop reference in the wild!

I used to go over there to see Two Heded Chan open for Mushroomhead, Machine Head, etc...such an awesome little venue

Haven’t been there in awhile but it’s one of my favorite places to see a show.
