For example, I personally can’t listen to Guns and Roses without immediately thinking “that Axl sure is an asshole”, and that sours the entire experience.

    Yeah there’s definitely a line there for me.

    I don’t care if they are an asshole. They’re just people at the end of the day.

    But I can’t listen to lost prophets or Gary glitter.

      Same. I listen to a few bands that have had a member accused of sexual assault and of emotional abuse.

      But Lostprophets are beyond tainted because Watkins is one of the most deranged convicted paedos in British legal history. It’s impossible for me to separate his music from his utterly sick crimes. Gary Glitter is up there too.
