I remember the band were asked if they thought visiting Castro & Cuba would damage their record sales in the US and their response was basically 'we dont give a fuck'. Fuck the US and all its disgusting acts of terrorism against Cuba over the years.

I bet most American bands would just shit in their pants just thinking about doing something like this. MSP FTW.

Nicky could you please remove your make up when you meet Fidel Castro. Nicky's response: OK

I love the other part of this interview where they all sit there dissing the English!!!!

I can't help thinking that old Fidel may not have been quite so welcoming if he'd seen that video for 'Love's Sweet Exile'!

@starpier Believe me, I've been keeping this simple also. I'm not about to get involved in an intellectual debate across YouTube. So I'll simply end it with this... you are conditioned to believe that nonsense.

Hasta Siempre

@undercoverbrother67 I can see that EVERY country on this planet who was inspired by communist ideals ended up with a regime and bringing misery to the population. Cuba is no exception. I made it shallow and simple because this is just a youtube comment

[undercoverbrother67]

@starpier Well it seems we have a difference of opinion as to what it takes to acheive true communism. As for 'communism reducing the freedom of the people'... how can you know that if we have yet to see true communism? And do you think you're free now? However, I notice you offer no response to the fact that Cuba has indeed fought militarily against racist and oppressive regimes around the world... so perhaps that is something we do agree on.

[starpier]

@undercoverbrother67 for communist country i mean inspired by the communist principles and Marxism, of course true communism, which has little to do with the  world being left wing, is an ideal that is impossible to achieve without reducing people's freedom. So no communist country will ever be communist in a "true" way. Cuba, like USSR, is a regime, if you prefer i skip on the word communist..
