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.

Always loved seeing him chime in on different bio shows like “behind the music” or whatever as a kind of self proclaimed nerd turned bizarre horror/rock star. Always had this cool “fuck you” credibility. Fuck him tho.

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.
