Musical "villains" - who ya got?
Posted on 9/13/17 at 9:52 am

Great villains of rock/pop music of the last 60 years:
Roger Waters?
Frey and Henley?
Yoko Ono?
"Colonel" Tom Parker?
Mo Levy?
Stan Polley?
Axl Rose?
Robbie Robertson?
Who am I missing?
(The women seem to get off lightly, but the conduct of Grace Slick and Stevie Nicks, for example, did terrible damage to 2 great bands. Too good-looking in their prime to be true villains, maybe?)

Unfamiliar with specific acts of villainy.

Should be Simmons and Stanley, but I agree.

The woman had 4 "loves of her life" in 4 years. Okay, so maybe she had help, but still.
"Blame it on my wild heart" indeed.

How about Ike Turner? Put out one of the first rock-n-roll records ever "Rocket 88", but this coke-snortin', crack-usin' wife-beater was responsible for beating on Tina Turner--one of the all-time greats--for years. On divorce (and break-up of the Revue along with many cancelled concerts) Tina assumed liability for the cancellations, debts and major IRS lien just to get away from this a-hole.

I think Hollywood did a number on Ike (Tina towered over him, although that's not an excuse for him putting his hands on her - but in the film, having a hulking Lawrence Fishburne play the diminutive Ike Turner was disingenuous).
Having said that - one of the originators of rock and roll can rightly be described as a villain.

Not necessarily her "conduct", so to speak. Moreso her randomly screaming into a microphone and ruining GD songs.

G G Allin gets my vote. I understand he was not a nice person.

Good one that I should have included. Lars, and by extension, Metallica, killed Napster. A crime against humanity if there ever was one.

Kurt started the feud with Axl. He was also a huge a-hole in general. Courtney should be added too.
Vince Neil literally killed his best friend. He also went on MTV to challenge Axl to a fist fight. Niki Sixx inspired Godsmack to write the song "Crying Like a Bitch" due to the way they were treated on tour. Maybe its just Vince and Niki but those guys are both huge assholes.

I had essentially forgotten about him. I just glanced at his biography ...
I'm giving him a pass.

Can't say I'd heard of these gentlemen until two days ago, but they make a pretty strong case

All four members of the Polish death metal band Decapitated were arrested in Los Angeles over the weekend on charges that they’d kidnapped a woman following their concert in Spokane, Washington on 8/31. Now, disturbing new allegations about the incident in question have surfaced. As The Spokesman-Review reports, in court documents released Monday the woman testifies that all four members of Decapitated gang-raped her on their tour bus.

Um, damn. That's pretty terrible.

Yeah - I knew the thread could get dark - I mentioned Stan Polley in the OP (and Henley did end up with a dead underage girl on his property - the house that Stevie was admonishing him to finish and call her after she aborted their child, Sara, in the song of the same name) - but, that's pretty dark.
