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.

I don't know about what they've done, but some of the lyrics in songs by The Offspring are pretty questionable.

"I wish I could fix you... and make you how I want you"
or there's an entire song called "she's got issues" - which is a fucking jam - where the singer is complaining about how his abused girlfriend thinks SHE'S the victim when HE'S the one who has to put up with her.

not the greatest look.

I don’t know if anyone put Alice Cooper on here…Voyager doesn’t seem to have a feature to search within threads…

A regular guy who puts on a bunch of makeup, goes on stage and says “it’s ok to be weird…just be yourself” and then to turn your back on trans kids like he’s just another transphobic boomer… Oof. I can never respect him again.

Devin Townsend is an absolute genius who once took a literal shit in Steve Vai's guitar case.
