What shitty things have your favourite bands/artists done?
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.

Oooof.
Arcade Fire: Win Butler is a sex pest.
Brand New: Jessie is a groomer of underage girls.
Marilyn Manson: his videos from 2009- pretty much lay it out in the open, but he's the fucking worst physical and emotional abuser of women. Just a shit human being.
I have stopped purchasing these artists merch and they have all been removed from my Spotify. Their records now live in my basement. When I must listen, I listen to my personal rips, alone.
Marilyn Manson is if a venereal disease assumed human form
When I found out about Jessie I was very sad. I loved Brand New so much as a teen.
I still listen to them on rare occasion, but not nearly as much as before I found out.
Emailing with a 17 year old at 23 hardly makes Jessie a groomer. Especially considering what every other rock star got away with at the time and especially Brand New's contemporaries. I don't condone his behavior but people blow it way out of proportion. He's the Al Frankin of musicians.
