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 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.

Salvador Dali was alleged to have beat his wife if I remember correctly. I don't remember what the details were, I think there was abuse there as well.

I was fairly partial to "tie me kangaroo down, sport" as a child of preteen years. Not to mention Gary Glitter songs.

Being bought up in the [UK] seventies comes with a lot of that kind of trauma these days.

I'm having to re-evaluate my life choices as a ten year old regularly in 2020s civilization.
