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.
That one was devastating 😭
Consider me out of the loop, I’ll have to go looking now.
They’re broken up because of some allegations. I’m sorry you have to learn this way. I never saw them live but have always wanted to, now I can’t.
They are pretty horrendous and the women have similar stories, I think we’re past the point of ‘allegations’ and straight up call him what he is: a serial rapist.
I think what’s more shocking is Justin claimed to be pro-feminism and he committed acts on women who did not consent to the treatment.
Fair enough. I only used the legal language because I hadn’t looked into it that much so I didn’t want to say something wrong and then have people yell at me that he’s innocent or something. But ya, this one sounds pretty bad.
Justin Sane is apparently a rapist.
Saw them with Flogging Molly. Complete surprise to me too, because I didn’t see or notice them on the bill until that night. Show was killer. Then like a month later I see their description on the new album says “former band”. Fucking heartbreaking and now I’m concerned about that sweet girl from Pink Shift.
