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.

Just saw Anti-Flag a few months ago right before they broke up suddenly because of an allegation.

That one was devastating 😭

Consider me out of the loop, I'll have to go looking now.

Justin Sane is apparently a rapist.

They're broken up because of some allegations. I'm sorry you have to learn this way. I never saw them live but have always wanted to, now I can't.

because of some allegations.

They are pretty horrendous and the women have similar stories, I think we're past the point of 'allegations' and straight up call him what he is: a serial rapist.

I think what's more shocking is Justin claimed to be pro-feminism and he committed acts on women who did not consent to the treatment.

Fair enough. I only used the legal language because I hadn't looked into it that much so I didn't want to say something wrong and then have people yell at me that he's innocent or something. But ya, this one sounds pretty bad.

Saw them with Flogging Molly. Complete surprise to me too, because I didn't see or notice them on the bill until that night. Show was killer. Then like a month later I see their description on the new album says "former band". Fucking heartbreaking and now I'm concerned about that sweet girl from Pink Shift.
