My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole.

I think he’s the primary reason FFDP is mocked so badly.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers

    Anthony Kiedis statutorily raped a 14 yo.

    I like their music and had friends who played them a lot through a great period in my life. But, when I hear them now and can’t not think “that fucker’s a pedophile”.

        Any “separate the art from the artist” argument falls apart when the pedo artist’s art is about the crime.

      This one bums me out because Chad Smith is a great drummer and seems like such a a good dude.

        Him and Flea sharked an MTV presenter during a live broadcast. They subsequently apologised but still, they ain’t exactly good people.
