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.

Mellowed out over time. They all do it and it makes me sad.

Oh hey I know what this hardcore three piece needs, a symphony backed album. A rock ballad. A mandolin solo. Interpretive drums. Take something pure and water it down until it is no longer recognizable.

Give me loud riffs, simple drums, and boss lyrics pls.

This.

They all eventually release an unplugged album which sounds like all the old upbeat tempo tracks as 45 played at 33⅓.

I want to cry a lot. Mainly because I can't buy the aforementioned 33⅓ and play it at 78 because I don't have a record player anymore.

I'm Gen X and I still hate Country and fucking Western. If anyone sees me looking admiringly at corduroy or jackets with leather patches, have a lethal implement to hand. This note hereby indemnifies ..
