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've dabbled in listening to EDM more frequently, and when I heard Chasing Heaven by him, I ran up to my roommates who proceeded to open that can of worms... never heard of the guy before that, and won't listen to him again. Sick fuck on so many levels. The CP is a new one from what I knew then.

Dam, I enjoy a bit of Queens of the Stoneage from time to time.

Band fucking rocks. I don't know the story of the kick here but he's a fucking rock star. Don't go to a show and think you won't get kicked

He's still one of my favorite musicians to be fair...compared to most people in this thread he's golden

Lol he did it intentionally and she was a photographer for the concert. There's a video of it you can see. He's clearly being a dick. You shouldn't be expected to get kicked in the face at a rock show???
