I can't be expected to research every individual in every band I listen to. That's hundreds, possibly thousands, of musicians.

Well, that's the entire music industry until 1990 right out

That's why I just stick to the good ol' classics, like Blind Guardian, and the eventual indie group with 1 album to their name.

Yeah, Hansi left Demons & Wizards because Jon Schaffer was an insurrection loser. Good on him for leaving.

I would say this problem mostly exists in black metal, and blackened subgenres. Not saying it doesn't exist in other metal genres, but it's much rarer.

Nobody ever says this about mediocre acts that are really great people in their personal life. You'll never hear someone say "This song is kinda mid but thats because they recorded it while working at a refugee camp!"
