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.

    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.
