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.

      They’re broken up because of some allegations. I’m sorry you have to learn this way. I never saw them live but have always wanted to, now I can’t.

        because of some allegations.

        They are pretty horrendous and the women have similar stories, I think we’re past the point of ‘allegations’ and straight up call him what he is: a serial rapist.

        I think what’s more shocking is Justin claimed to be pro-feminism and he committed acts on women who did not consent to the treatment.

          Fair enough. I only used the legal language because I hadn’t looked into it that much so I didn’t want to say something wrong and then have people yell at me that he’s innocent or something. But ya, this one sounds pretty bad.
