What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member?

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....

Oh, gross. I didn’t know about that. “Didn’t know her age” initially, then found out, then had sex again anyways, then wrote a song about it that the RHCP played for decades.

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

Flea and Chad Smith chased a woman just after the broadcast ended and tried to forcefully pull her bikini off.
