Perth, Australia – Hollywood legend and renowned voiceover artist Morgan Freeman has reportedly become embroiled in a bizarre feud with Australian metalcore band Patient Sixty-Seven. The esteemed actor, known for his iconic roles in films such as The Shawshank Redemption and Driving Miss Daisy, shocked fans and industry insiders alike with his uncharacteristically harsh critique of the Perth-based band.
The drama unfolded during a recent interview, where Freeman was expected to discuss his upcoming film projects. Instead, the Oscar winner took a sharp left turn, launching into an impassioned tirade against Patient Sixty-Seven. “I don’t understand what’s happened to music these days,” Freeman began, his normally soothing voice tinged with an edge of frustration. “Take this Patient Sixty-Seven, for example. It’s just noise! What happened to the good old days when you could understand the lyrics? And don’t get me started on their hair!”
Freeman’s unexpected rant continued as he critiqued everything from the band’s “ridiculous” stage outfits to their “incomprehensible” lyrics. He even went so far as to suggest that the band’s name was an attempt to “capitalize on the popularity of medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy,”.
The band, known for their high-energy performances and devoted fanbase, has yet to respond to Freeman’s accusations. However, fans have taken to social media to defend their favorite metalcore act. Some have pointed out that Freeman’s own filmography is hardly immune to criticism (hello, Evan Almighty?), while others have suggested that the actor may be “out of touch” with the modern music scene.
One fan even went so far as to create a mashup video featuring clips of Freeman’s most famous movie monologues, set to the tune of Patient Sixty-Seven’s latest single. The “Morgan Freeman’s Guide to Metalcore” video has already racked up thousands of views on YouTube and prompted a flurry of memes.
Some fans have begun to wonder whether Freeman’s critique was a clever marketing ploy orchestrated by the band. After all, Patient Sixty-Seven’s notoriety has certainly skyrocketed in the wake of Freeman’s comments, and as the old adage goes, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Whether or not Freeman’s rant was genuine or part of a larger scheme, one thing is certain: Patient Sixty-Seven has never been more famous. As for Morgan Freeman, perhaps he’ll stick to sharing his wisdom on the silver screen and leave the music critiques to the experts.
