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 😕
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.
Yeah, the singer of Blind Guardian made it clear he wouldn't play with him again after that. I respect that choice.
