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.
The dude from Iced Earth and Demons and Wizards is a right wing terrorist. That's a bummer.
That really ruined the day of my partner when it came to light, he is … was a huge Iced Earth fan for decades 😕
Yeah, the singer of Blind Guardian made it clear he wouldn’t play with him again after that. I respect that choice.
Oh. Damn. I’ve been listening to those songs for a decade.
Me too, they’re one of my favorite power metal acts. I feel like it’s okay to pirate them though. Dude tried to steal my voice, so I’m gonna make unauthorized copies of his.
