Appreciate you sharing the story of my departure. Lots of artists going through this. Many folks looking for a new way forward.
Was a big offspring fan , but the way you were treated is as far removed from a punk/rock and roll attitude as you can get. It’s the attitude of big business, which iv actually nothing against, but it’s not a punk attitude . You don’t need me to tell you but, you were right standing your ground. Good luck with your new projects.
@PeteParada, Much respect! Don't ever let strangers greed put your health in jeopardy.
Love these comments.
Pete, you the man. Thank you for standing up for yourself and not following the herd.
Wow, after seeing this it’s not right. I got vaccinated and all that. Then after 3 years got real sick with it. Didn’t change a thing. When I got my second shot I was out cold for 5 days of work sick as I was with Covid.
I really think there was time in 2020-2022 when it became a political stance. Unfortunately a lot of hate and weirdness was thrown around. I get people want to work, and they may have dismissed you due to not being able to tour a certain country. But outside that I don’t get it? The conversation should have still been open. But seems it was treated as an institution, with suits in front of it. Keep your head up man!
Salute to the drummer
i love how bands out them selves like this
Out them selves??? Hahaha the lead singer is literally a doctor.

What's the best thing about being a conspiracy theorist?
Not dying from Myocarditis.
Out of 192,405,448 people receiving MRNA Covid vaccines there were 1626 claims of myocarditis. Ya’ll were saying if only 1% of people die from Covid it’s not a big deal/shouldn’t affect our lives. Why is the .0000083% of people claiming myocarditis post vaccine of more concern to you?
@@lotusmilano You do understand that you and your cult are obsessed with Trump more than most people right? Most people aren't MAGA they just see the woke issue as a much bigger problem.
Yep. My aunt who is stupid as f. Always healthy, walked for hours everyday got the 3 shots and then that month couldn't breathe and ended up hospitalized, her heart wasn't pumping and she was swelling up with fluid.
Thankfully she survived but the stupid muppet still doesn't think it was the vaccines
@lotusmilano alot of progressives and centrists who don't like Trump are also skeptical of the jab.
@@lotusmilano if it makes you feel better… it turns out half the vaccines that were rolled out were actually saliene solution.
Nothing says being punk free and rebellious like going along with the system and firing a longtime friend even though the jab would have severely hurt him. Way to go Offspring you have become exactly what you stood against
Mindless followers... conformists... fearful idiots. yes. that's what the Offspring are.

@@sevenmiller9042 I know right? I had never heard of anyone dying until the vax. Here we were in a world without death and they introduced a Vaccine that took that away from all of us.

It's bizarre how evil people can be when they try so hard to be good
Great comment.
Brilliant
Sounds to me like they primarily tried to safe their own business.
@@felixfox8810 yes exactly. Money over integrity. It's a common occurrence here on earth. Most people are spineless herd animals
That's the conflicted nature of righteousness. We get so accustomed to the apparent duality of right vs wrong that we often times forget that we live intricate and inextricable lives.
How can we do right by others without wronging someone else? How do we stick to or change our principles and ideologies when we realize their benefits and costs?
That's the complex nature of situations related to freedoms and safeguards. Many people seem to perceive a contradiction between the two in light of the pandemic, but freedom and safety aren't opposing ideas. Some people think the jab is better for community health and freedoms while other people think individual freedom and accountability for one's health is better for the community.
Both are true. The true conflict of these two apparently disparate ideas depends on the practices used to balance these freedoms and safeguards. Otherwise this "controversy" would be notably weaker, and most people would reconcile most of the personal ideological differences existing in society.
Good for him on pushing back and not giving in.
Yup, sux they did not stick with him
Super glad he did. Trash humans don't belong in the Offspring. This garbage took itself out.

I'm glad he stood his ground. It's so sad that his band mates treated him with such contempt. I can relate. I was thrown out of my family for nearly 18 months because I hadn't taken the jab. I feel for him and his family especially.
Wow you need to throw out your family
Disowned by your family, is the lowest, don't let them back into yours without a big apology, otherwise you know they would do it again, in which case, have to move on without them.
@@chrisrauschning7376 I wouldn't even waste my time. If my family did something like this to me they would forever be dead to me.
Forgive them for their ignorance but dont have anything to do with them. They cannot be trusted in times of uncertainty and times where survival is needed. They will get you killed if a day ever came where you need torely on them for life and death situations.
Did your doctor advise you not to get it?
That moment when you realize you were only ever seen as an employee not an equal. That's brutally sad
Sadly I feel like almost every single band is like this, I hate finding out too...bcoz then I quit listening to said band.
He’d been in the Offspring since 2009… he’s always been an employee.
I really like Atom Wilard. He was an Offspring drummer before Pete, he was definitely and employee too .
i think it's more when you find out your friends really aren't your friends...
Bands are a business, not a feel good club.
@@mrsleep0000 so one makes music as a business ?
This is the day the Offspring died for me and they were my favourite band at one point in time. I was offered a free ticket to see them and knocked it back because I think they're wankers. It was obvious that it was going to become milder over time. The molecular biologist should have realised that. During COVID there was just an overwhelming need to be the most conspicuous, obedient example of conformity possible. Not what I want from my so-called Punk Rock bands 😂😂😂😂
☑️ Exactly! Their decision to fire him wasn't based on science. It was about conforming to the stringent political and ideological dogma of the (corrupt) leftist/globalist elites. It's mind-blowing to me that in late 2021, a PhD educated person like their band leader could've STILL been blindly adhering to the discredited claims that "the vaccine will prevent you from contracting or transmitting the Covid virus"!
By that time, we already knew that the so-called "vaccines" _only_ serve as a prophylactic treatment to reduce the symptoms of Covid, NOT to prevent it from being spread! Phizer has since admitted that they never even tested their "vaccine" to see if it was effective at preventing contraction or transmission!
I'd say they owe their fired bandmate a major apology, although I wouldn't hold my breath. Ideological zealots rarely change their minds, even when it's clear they were wrong. Why do you think communism and fascism still exist!
It's so sad that the "unlettered and ordinary" who are treated with such contempt by our fellow man for exercising bodily autonomy and questioning "authority". What happened to "sticking it to the man"? These last 2 or 3 years have really REVEALED what people are and who ourselves need to be. Jesus lives!!!!!
Well said.
Foo fighters and KISS to🖕🤬🖕
I said fook it all during this scamdemic pandemic.
He should name his new band 'The Unvaccinated'.
Now that's Rock.

I think "the defiant" is pretty on the nose :)
First song is "Fuck Fauci." and album titled "Safe and Effective?"
Pretty lame!
I’d buy the album even if it completely sucked.
There is no honor in being a sellout.There is honor in loyalty.
Wtf are you talking about, though?
@@GilbertSyndromeI lost all respect for the Offspring for kicking out their drummer over the jab, which is poison.
@@scramblesthedeathdealer You're right, because everyone who had the vaccine died... Oh, wait... 🙄

Considering how many “fans” are in these comments, it probably will.
Def Leppard put their entire career on hold while their drummer recovered after losing an arm in a car wreck. They did not fire their now one-armed drummer. They were one of the biggest bands out at that time and that took several years. Contrast that to the supposedly punk rock Offspring.
Def Leppard are pure class, The Offspring are pure trash. Simple.

Nailed it.
Hearing Offspring referred to as "one of rock's greatest bands" was more painful than any COVID symptoms I've had.

LOL.....
Fo sho!!!
I used to listen to Ixnay in my teenage years. I repeat, "teenage years."
Maybe 'least talented' is more fitting.
So after all these years finally we find out there was a cool member in the Offspring.
Pretty cool for a white guy.
There's been so much abuse, in so many different ways, about this damn shot. People have become monsters over this, even after certain undeniable facts being released by "authoritative sources".
I broke off a decades-long friendship over it. Having toxic people in your life isn't worth it, especially if they're only optional.
Now they say "that never happened"
its so funny how you people make up fake

This is the part that really grinds my gears is these people doubling down after research has shown we were lied to and manipulated.
More like authoritarian sources.
They sold out to the government.. back in the day the Punk scene was about defiance… I’ll bet they feel like idiots now … Pete, I wish you all the success you can handle !!

Oh man, after Taylor Hawkins passing, this is too much to believe. Offspring rushed their tour, and Pete had an exemption. Had they just waited 6 months it wouldn't have mattered. Just sad that the fear made so many people stupid.
"Trigger people emotionally, and they will stop thinking rationally, and at that point, you can lead them anywhere." A very old quote, once again proven true over the last 3 years.
It’s not fear, it’s entirely political. Him not getting vaccinated put him on the opposite side of EVERYTHING for Offspring Inc.

Thank you for having integrity, Pete.
The saddest part for me is that after all those years you find out your friends aren’t really your friends
For him to say "he was either UNWILLING or unable." Is such BS, he KNOWS his situation. I can't stand people who try to make other people look bad by throwing in coy ways to slander them just because they didn't do like you did, or believe like you do.. hes so punk for doing that

and shame on them for going along with the narrative
The craziest part about this is that I thought Dexter would be much more civil to his bandmate and "friend", since his field of study was specifically working on mRNA "vaccines" and he knew of Pete's medical condition. I'm glad the drummer didn't give in. The music industry needs more like him and Tom Barber.
Dexter obviously doesn't believe in the study's much or he would know one of the biggest factors is being overweight. He looks well over weight.
The thing about being in that field of study is that they only teach you what they want you to know. There's so much more out there that doctors don't even get taught.
If so then it all makes sense now. He has a vested interest in defending Big Pharma. How "punk"
Dexter is nothing more than a shill. All the schooling in the world can't educate you. Objective proof right here.
@@ebenezerspludge8369 He must have ditched the class on insulin resistance. Doctors are the third leading cause of death.

Now they all have allegedly gotten cov several times since they all got their jabs. That jab certainly had a religious following, that's for sure.
Good for him. Screw the rest of the band/industry for being so ignorant and arrogant. I wish him all the best for having the balls to stand up against the insanity.

I watched so many friends and family get the shot, got covid, and they seemed to have the hardest time getting over it. It took me 2 days to get over it. One of my kids took 24 hrs, one didn't have any symptoms and another was immune it seems. Just like Rage Against the Machine, the Offspring have shown their true colors and are full of shit
They're not rebellious, just establishment worshipping commies. It's fkn pathetic 😖

I don’t have all the answers, but it’s not letting him do what he wanted. It’s what the doctors recommended and gave him a medical exemption for.

And then there’s the question of why not just hire a touring drummer, and then go back to him when you’re done with the tour?
The fact is their explanation doesn’t hold up because it makes no sense.

It really was amazing at that time the amount of people that thought they had the right to tell you what to put into your body, and if you didn’t comply you were classed as far right or a covid denier ect ect… mad times.
We've required vaccinations for years. You need them to go to school. To travel. It was never political before. Only idiots oppose vaccines.
Sad part is: when something new comes along, it'll be the same exact situation, people won't have learned a thing.
Totally. It was nutty. Totally (previously) normal people... "Unfriend me now if you're not getting the vaccine", etc. Amazing how people suddenly demanded what others insert into their bloodstream. Nutty times. Learned a lot about people around me. People wearing masks in conference rooms in the workplace. Taking them off for lunch while sitting next to each other, then putting them back on afterwards. It was the twilight zone.
Sheer madness prevailed..It divided us even more...And I dont thnk it can be fixed.
The left forced me to turn far right years ago..
He didn't "refuse", he simply declined
In order to tour with this punk rock band you have to follow the crowd and do what everyone else is doing!
I don't have any more respect for The Offspring. I was pretty much done with them in this originally happened but this is kind of shows that The Offspring is filled with a bunch of divas that would rather react then be patient and wait and see what happened.
The only thing that logically makes sense to me is they must've been trying to get rid of him for a long time. Otherwise, it's pretty sad this one issue tore apart friends & family
Logically making sense went out of the window at the beginning of 2020. Apparently we have different ways of making decisions as a society now.
this story has played out millions of times across the world in the past 3 years, fear fear fear
Kicking someone out of your band for not complying to government regulations is the most unpunk thing I've ever heard in my life!
Thank you for covering this.
Should thank Tim Pool. It was his interview
@@VaporRipper I love Tim’s show. I had seen it allready. Thing is it’s nice to see that a channel like this that covers more culture stories picked up something like this.
I told them all to shove it up their azz...
I'm from SoCal and was an Offspring fan since their first album. It breaks my heart to find out what a bunch of dicks Dexter and Noodles really are. They also kicked Greg K and Ron Welty out of the band because of money and those guys were all together since the beginning.
Ha ha the only guy in the band that is actually punk pushing back on the system. These guys got a taste of the money and are domesticated animals afraid to push back against their masters. I'm not an Offspring fan anymore.
Wow I'm speechless. What does that college degree get you Dexter? No common sense.
Having a college degree is why he's unable to think for himself.
he definitely is involved patent wise hes a molecular biologist specializing in MRNA
Holy jeez this is the dumbest comment section.
Offspring sucks, always have. Pete is better than them, wish he was back with Face to Face.
The Offspring claim it was a "logistical" decision. They're the very definition of being sell outs. Kick out a band member to make sure the money keeps rolling in. The Offspring suck.
Not sad that they took the needle. From day one, my #1 most hated band, but never knew why I felt so strongly about it. Always trust your gut!
I'm pissed I went to their show, I wouldn't have gone knowing this.
I can see Dexter and noodle being intolerant jerks… I saw them years ago being absolutely rude and terrible to their road crew during set up while everyone was drinking and waiting…. Then to security for having too many security guys after the show🤦♂️Made me lose respect for them and I realized they were basically divas and all about the optics.
Damn, good to know. Thanks. What a couple of assholes.
Ive been in the same room w them and you are completely right. If you dont agree with their views they down talk you.. Human pos
Fred from taking back sunday said they were really arrogant and rude
That's too bad man cause self titled, Ignition, and smash get played almost daily here at home
They are actually both really nice people irl. You can imagine what you want, but reality is, they are respectful and thoughtful. Sorry to burst the hate bubble
Real shame considering all the new information coming out regarding efficacy of the vax.
The offspring are scumbags now, unfortunately I've lived long enough for my childhood heroes to disappoint me
The human race will always let you down eventually.
My guess is this had more to do with money than anything. Seems pretty shitty to kick someone out that had a medical exception and wanted to remain in the band.
Because he didn't. He SAID he had a medical exemption.
Watch:
"Republicans aren't racist insurrectionists."
See, just cause I said it, doesn't mean a damn thing. Still bs.
I never thought the day would come when listening to the government and abiding to their demands would be considered "Punk Rock"
The fact that this eludes 99.999% of all successful artists today is a testament to the self aggrandized delusions that develop when fame,success, and money is attained
When marxist libtards ARE the government, then all the other marxist libtards comply like the fascistic nazis they are.
Rage with the machine.
God forbid they don't want coronavirus.
@@Chickenbrain269 God forbid he didn't want to ingest the poison that had underwent no clinical trials to determine efficacy or deleterious effects. God forbid that he didn't want to be a mindless brain washed nazi sheep!
