Pete Parada on punk rock and being fired from The Offspring

Note: I’ve set the video to begin where he talks about being ousted from the band for not taking the experimental gene therapy. Scroll back to beginning if interested in his musical history. Also, this conversation happened shortly before the USA lifted the entry ban on unvaccinated non-citizens. Hence one of his remarks has become outdated.

The Offspring are one of my favourite bands of all time.

At least, they were.

By now, everybody knows that they unceremoniously fired their drummer, Pete Parada, for refusing the jab…

The Offspring, like many other (former) punk rock bands, no longer stick it to the man. Rather, they stick it in their arm … have opted to rage for the machine.

What happened to them?

Some truly punk rock musicians who’ve shown the finger to the establishment are Right Said FredZuby and Five Times August.

Pete, who drummed for The Offspring for nearly 15 years, joined me for a conversation in which he chatted about his background, musical influences, playing in various bands. his journey with The Offspring and being booted after taking a stand against the Covid™ “vaccination” nonsense
