Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. "At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage..."

R. L. Burnside killed a man "possibly at a craps game."

Varg of ~~Mayhem~~ Burzum burned a couple churches and killed a bandmate.

I could list other examples, but would like to hear from other people and other music genres.

Dangit. I was mentally prepared for Mike Patton coming out as an asshole in this story, tarnishing my image of him from afar. Now he’s just that much more awesome.

Absolute legend. Even if it was only partially true, it's an awesome story. And King Buzzo knows how to tell it.

Dude, this Mike Patton guy sounds like a total legend!

He’s just a gossipy motherfucker all the way around.
