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.
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
You better hide your head in the sand, little girl
If I catch you with another man, that’s the end, little girl
Fun pop lyrics or psychopathic threat of violence?
I’ve been surprised to read some of the Beatles lyrics, they seem quite rapey/threatening sometimes.
I mean, one is lyrics for a fictional killer, the other is real life spouse abuse. I don’t know about you, but real life events are worse than written words.
John physically abusing his family is way worse than lyrics of an intentionally creepy song.
