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.

    Man I just discovered Issues a couple of weeks ago and loved their djent and r&b fusion style especially in Beautiful Oblivion. Then I looked them up and saw the lead singer’s issues (pun intended). It sucks because it’s his singing style that puts the r&b into their music, and they probably won’t sound the same. Glad the band kicked him out without a fuss though, so they can move on and hopefully make more of that style of music.

        but the rest of the band was also so good

        Oh definitely, their bassist especially.
