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.

So, I’m the moderator of !ClassicRock…how do you want me to start the list? Chronologically, quantity, severity??

How about in order of "Most Pedophilic" to "Least Pedophilic". I'm aware that this list will be pretty top-heavy

So Gary Glitter is gonna either start or end the list…

jimmy page too, with his 13 year old girlfriend that he kept locked in a hotel

Never heard that one. It’s pretty common knowledge that Bowie, The Stones, Led Zeppelin and all of the massive stars of that era were fucking teenage groupies that followed them but 13…….eek that’s a few notches worse.

i believe page was 29 years old too, so its an even bigger gap. and it wasnt just casual sex dude was "dating" her (basically keeping her captive in his hotel room)
