All time cancelled/morally questionable artist playlist? - eviltoast

Listened to Billie Jean while cleaning, wondered what the all time playlist might be.

I imagine Kanye, Clapton, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Ike Turner all make the cut with MJ but I’m curious what Lemmy comes up with!

      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
