I feel you on ffdp.
And it sucks because their sound is great. And I dig his vocals. But gods damn, the lyrics are just so juvenile, fratboyish, edgelord bullshit most of the time. Like, if you take individual songs, it isn't too bad; nothing wrong with a little bit of lyrical bullshit now and then. But it's pretty much every song, so it wears thin after a while.

I've always told my friend who is a huge Morrissey fan that The Smiths would have been better without Morrissey to troll him.
Pretty much every member of Gloryhammer

I don't know what Michael Keene is doing in The Faceless but he goes through band members like most people go through socks

Lostprophets. It should be obvious who and why.
I also think Guns'n Roses have soome fucking awesome riffs and songs, but I find Axl Rose to be an insufferable cunt of a diva. Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Adler should have released Appetite for Destruction with a different vocalist.
I loved their first album, listened to it a lot. Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja and The Fake Sound of Progress are both amazing tracks. Unfortunately they're both vocalized by a literal baby rapist, so it's hard to rock out to them now. Asshole wrote the tracks too, so I doubt No Devotion will ever cover them.
As for Guns N' Roses, a friend pointed out something that's been living in my head for months now: Axl Rose is the Starscream of Guns N' Roses.
Axl Rose seems like a dick, but would it have been the same band without him? His really unusual voice is a lot of the appeal of the music imo

Lars from Metallica after he attacked napster.
When you see how insanely high some fines were the whole approach of punishing music piracy destroyed countless lives and cost a ton of people a lot of money. I think there was even prsion time for some. For something that doesn't even hurt the Industry. People who participate in that shit are literal villains.
The fines were so out of proportion. It's like I sit on your glasses and now i have to pay you $100k
Or before. You know, anyone better than a glorified metronome

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

Along those same lines, Limp Bizkit because of Fred Durst. They still would have been pretty mid, but maybe I wouldn't go out of my way to skip their songs when they sneak onto my playlists.
Fuck Fred Durst. Fucking riff-stealing crybaby.
He stole riffs?
Indeed he did. Years ago, they were holding auditions in my area for a new guitarist after Wes Borland left. They asked people to demo stuff they had written, rather than try to play along with their current songs. After auditions wrapped, they didn't pick anyone and life went on.
Cut to a few months later when their next album dropped. The local rock station that helped sponsor the audition starts getting numerous calls from people saying the material they demoed during the audition got incorporated into songs from the new album. No credit or compensation was given to any of them. From that point on, the radio station rightfully blacklisted them.
Its unfortunate, since I enjoy FFDP music. But yeah the lead singer is a violent abusive asshole

I really don't think their music would have changed much if Milli or Vanilli wasn't in Milli Vanilli.
I see what you did there. Do we live in the same senior center?
