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.
It seems EVERY rockstar has a penchant for really young women. I've lost track of the number of songs about underage girls ("she's only sixteen...","She was just 17" etc.) Paul Simon fell in love with a 16 year old, and took her on tour. She's on one of his album covers.
I think it's just that a lot of dudes are like that, rockstars are just more easily able to get away with it. I've heard a lot of guys say shit about very young girls or just the way they talk about women when no ones around that's pretty gross.
