Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The mayor of Vorst, Belgium, has officially banned an upcoming Disturbed concert, citing public safety concerns stemming from frontman David Draiman’s outspoken support for the Israeli army – namely that one picture where he's signing missiles that'll kill people shortly thereafter.

Disturbed was scheduled to play Vorst Nationaal on Wednesday, October 15, but the plug has now been pulled following a police order issued by Mayor Charles Spapens (PS) according to De Standaard.

It's like if Rage Against the Machine were actually very much on the side of the machine.

Their old Deify song is very on point now. Dude could've became the voice of despise about the current admin, but instead he got one (1.0, single, singular, SOLE, O N L Y) strong political opinion and it is that one. What the fuck.
