Sinnead O'Connor was absolutely right to rip up the pope's picture.
I guess I'm too young to know why Pink Floyd is morally questionable?
It likely has more to do with Roger Water's statements about Ukraine and Israel than anything Pink Floyd itself is about.
Roger Waters is a ~~conservative~~ antisemitic shitass, the rest are cool as far as I’m aware. I certainly havent let it stop me from enjoying pink floyd, though I have more trouble separating the art from the artist in other situations (lookin at you JK Rowling)
Conservative? I think you should check your own ass for shit since you’ve got it exactly backward.
Conservative? Last concert I saw with him he was liberal AF. On what do you base his conservatism?
PF (Gilmour et al) is conservative enough…rich old white dudes.
Sinead O'Connor got cancelled for ripping up a photo of the pope. The a wave of paedophile priest accusations hit and hasn't really stopped since.
Gotta have Garry glitter in there
Hey
Austrian Death Machine. The singer (Tim Lambesis) tried to hire a hitman to murder his wife.
Iced Earth: the lead guitarist (Jon Schaeffer) is a founding member of a right wing militia group and participated in the 2021 storming of the US Capitol.
It’s really interesting that you picked his meme side project as the canceled band instead of As I Lay Dying.
I love smashing pumpkins, but Billy Corgan is a real asshole
Edit: Gotta add Morrissey/the Smiths too
Bill Cosby comedy albums count?
Came across one in a consignment bin a few weeks ago. Aww, nope, not even for $2.
Burzum and skrewdriver? or is that going too far?
Why not throw in Mayhem as well?
Wait, what did Mayhem do?
Ooh where to begin? They used to play with impaled animal heads on the stage, Dead used to cut himself whilst performing, then when he killed himself with a shotgun, Euronymous’s first reaction was to rearrange his body and take a picture, which was used as the cover to a bootleg, he also made necklaces out of fragments of Dead’s skull, and sold other fragments. Varg (the same Varg from Burzum) is a neonazi and burnt down at least one church, reportedly with Euronymous. Varg also murdered Euronymous as he believed Euronymous wanted to kill him. You’ll struggle to find a more messed up band
Yeah, all that is messed up, but to me Mayhem is the current lineup with Necrobutcher and Attila. I hope those guys didn't do anything wrong, I just went to Mayhem concert last September.
They seem alright now, and Necrobutcher was disgusted by Euronymous’ response to Dead’s suicide and left the band over it if I recall correctly
Lostprophets.. Shame, as Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja is a banger.
First album I bought!
Mayhem
You're probably going to want the Uppers and Downers Song from Bill Cosby's 1971 album, Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs.
I still listen to Stone Temple Pilots and Red Hot Chili Peppers
EDIT: oops, i'm tired and may have misread what OP posted. are we supposed to naming the worst POS musicians out there? Because if so, R Kelly should be on the list
first thing came to my mind.
Can almost forgive him since he contributed to this absolute belter
He beat her to death for God's sake. Can you imagine how long it might have taken, how much of an inhuman psychopathy it would require to be able to keep hitting until a human being dies in your hands.
GG Allin, Stza Crack, Sakevi Yokoyama, Seth Putnam, Varg Vikernes.
R. Kelly needs to be there
The Mamas and the Papas
I really don't want to Google this one. I finally stopped getting tired of California Dreaming
Chuck Berry, Rick James, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis...
Bassnectar, Datsik
Was anything confirmed, or is this another set of career-ending allegations that people are stupidly accepting without concrete proof?
Not sure. I know the STUCA allegations were proven false.
Thanks for at least admitting it.
Dream, ProJared, Johnny Depp, and I think Toby Turner all come to mind. 3 out of the 4 were punished harshly for a crime they didn't commit.
Not saying they have the best morals, but they all received punishments that did not fit what they actually did.
Educate yourself about the realities of fake rape/SA allegations and then come back
To be clear, I'm not commenting on the allegations, just people's automatic acceptance of them. People need to be heard, but in a situation like this, both parties need to be equally scrutinized. You can't deny that there are individuals who are taking advantage of recent movements and destroying people's careers. That can be true even if the majority of allegations made are truthful.
I understand, that is why a court of law will only accept evidence that leaves no doubt about someone having committed a crime. The court of public opinion has no such requirement though, and I don't think it should have. Often times it is exceedingly difficult to prove rape/SA, especially because many victims need time to eventually report the crime. That is because the victims face a lot of scrutinization (often times more than the accused person), which they obviously tend to avoid because it's such a traumatic event. So I think it's fair to judge someone accused of SA, because usually it's true even if the victim is unable to prove it.
That being said I also believe in separating the art from the artist, at least to a certain extent. If the music encourages SA, I wouldn't listen to it (regardless of accusations, really), but otherwise I won't let the things the artist (probably) did distract from the art. Hitler also did nice paintings, and I don't see why we shouldn't appreciate the paintings for what they are, even if the person who created them was obviously evil.
Alestorm if you like pirate metal. Turns out the whole band was being super racist in their group chat though.
Are you sure you did not mean Gloryhammer? https://loudwire.com/gloryhammer-chris-bowes-response-statements-racism-misogyny-leaked-chat/
