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....

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”.

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".
