Do you care if an artist is a d*ck?

Likewise.

Sometimes it even pays off. Take the song Hooker With A Penis by Tool. It was written about a fan who accused them of selling out. They wrote the song about him and now the kid is immortalized.

That doesn't really go along perfectly with what we're talking about, but it leaRAB me to my next string of useless worRAB:

I saw this video of a band, can't remeraber who, who were playing a concert and one of the band merabers royally tore the ass out of some kid in the audience who threw something on the stage.
Kid got kicked out, but I bet he felt like it was worth it.
 
At my first concert (and this was recently) one of the weirdest things was seeing a band/artists standing there in front of me. This is because I naturally just disconnect the music from the musician(s). Although, like Janszoon said, if I went to a concert and someone was a fucking dick directly in front of me- it would be harder to forget. But dammit, I would try. Why let them spoil good music for you?
 
Yeah thats where the characterisation part comes in, obviously you can only judge music by the actual music itself & not what youve heard about the person who made it.



Yeah this is totally spot on mate, all I was getting at was people who hear this or that about a certain artist and then write them off without even hearing their music yet.
Ive heard Chris Brown's music and its ****ing Sh1T! (my sister keeps playing it all the time) but I didnt know he was a wife beater.
As for Charles Manson, as much as an animal he is, I have heard he did some recordings when he was in prison & before as well I think. I was actually thinking about checking some of it out recentely but got caught up on other music. But I wouldnt write it off until Ive heard it,
I know I'm probably a 'psycho' for saying this but there is a possibility I could like some of his music.

Also as for 'wife beating' have you seen Lucifer Sam's avatar?
 
I actually have a thing for self-righteous, arrogant a-holes with a god complex. Take MSI for example. Jimmy Urine is a dick, no doubt about it, but I love his stage presence. Most self proclaimed "rock stars" are dicks, and I love it. If I got famous in music I'd be a total raging diva.
 
I can enjoy and respect good music even if I can't respect the artist.
Like, Chris Brown, for example. I enjoy his music, even after the whole deal with Rhianna. I do not, in any way, respect Chris Brown as a person. But...his music is dope.
 
Now that I think about it with an example of a band I actually do like; while I didn't start disliking their music I haven't payed for anything by Apoptygma Berzerk since I found out Stephan is a bat**** insane Zeitgiest type.
 
Your right no one was forced to go see him, but IF someone that did know what he was about DID go see him and get molested against their will, it is not excusable. and that's why i hate him and his music, based on the fact he was despicable.
