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.

Learning that Rick Derringer and Billy Corgan were guests on The Alex Jones show was a big let down for me

Corgan also put the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on Tyrus who is a massive outspoken transphobe.

I was real excited to see smashing pumpkins live but ended up leaving 7 minutes into his opening rendition of the national anthem because fuck that.

Doesn’t Corgan also have a history of beating his partners, going all the way back to high-school girlfriends?
