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.

Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) is a prolific anti-Semite.
He's pro-Palestine and there's a villain in his stage performance that is a Nazi. I don't think Waters is an anti-semite though.
If he is pro-Palestine then he cannot be anti-semitic by definition
Besides all that, Waters is a dick really. Downplaying the role of the rest of the band in making Dark Side Of The Moon is a shit move.

Also a Putinist.

"Antisemitismus" was adopted by Jew-haters in Germany specifically as more "racialist" way of saying Judenhass (Jew-hate), because they saw racism as more scientific than religious bigotry. It's still the same old Jew-hate. Notably, neither the Nazis nor other antisemites particularly care about Arabs.
It hasn’t been used that way in hundred of years.
