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.

I wanted to inject a bit of wholesome into a question that will be littered with pedos, murderers and white supremacists. In the modern world it's way too easy to focus on the negative and forget that some people actually do live up to your expectations.

I didn't just want to troll with an off-topic response but make sure there was a glimmer of hope.
