I would really like them if it wasn't for that twatt!

To be fair to Mr Stipe, the dislike of r.e.m is probably more a musical one.
But still don't like him

Stipe really is a prick. I seen him getting interviewed by Jools Holland on later. He never cracked a smile the whole interview, then Jools said , maybe you will come back and play for us sometime. Stipe said, yeah we could probably come and do a special or something sometime. Jools, quick as a flash replied, or two or three songs. I thought good on ya Jools!

I think that the proliferation of twats in music is just an exposure thing really... there are just as many twats in regular life but it's easier to ignore them as they do not have a platform from which to bestow their twatery upon us.

... also Morrissey clearly wins this contest... 1st prize in the twat contest.. well done that man.

I forgot Morrisey!
Just the thought of twirling gladioli makes me want to smash things.

I'm a big fan of black metal, but do struggle sometimes with the political outlook and illegal actions of some of the bands, Burzum, Emperor and Darkthrone particularly.

Has much happened in the Black Metal scene for the past 20 years?

I saw Emperor at the LA2 back in the late 90s and they were awesome... I guy I jammed with a few times at collage is now in Mayhem.

.. love a bit of black metal.

[Huge Hands]

I always had this dilemma with Jamiroquai......

Loved the music though (at least until Stu Zender left).

[Billy Apple]

I was never keen on Bruce Dickinson and went off Iron Maiden after Di'Anno left. But, it turns out that Di'Anno was the bigger twat all along. Dickinson is a bit of a knob though, but at least I can listen to Number Of The Beast now.

There's some great acts out there, particularly from the UK:

Anaal Nathrakh
Voices
Winterfylleth
Wodensthrone
Fen
<Code>
The Infernal Sea
Verdelet
Aklash

Wolves In The Throne Room from the States are definitely worth a listen too.

...which is all well and good, but do their lineups feature an insufferable tw*t?

[Dandelion]

What did Darkthrone do? Was it Fenriz's 'inner circle' shenanigans? I bet it was Fenriz....

Ineffable twatism. Love that bit of footage where the paparazzi guy lamped him one XD

[Graham]

I'm not sure Fenriz ever did anything, or at least was never charged as far as I know, but they did come out with NS statements in the mid 90s

I dunno, the last band I left?

The best answer of the thread so far; I'm surprised nobody else picked up on it!

[Lozz196]

I like bands based on their music, not really fussed on the personalities though I wouldn`t knowingly buy any music from anyone with either far-right or far-left tendencies, nor from anyone known for child abuse.

[CamdenRob]

ah black metal shenanigans...

I had a mate called Black Metal Steve when I was about 17 who tried to burn down a church in colchester... only when he got up on the roof it fell through and he broke both his legs.... ended up being held together with metal plates for a couple of years...

.. think he's an accountant these days.

I've never really had this reaction to any artist. Either I like the tune / painting / film / book or I don't.

I don't see the need to like the artist before deciding whether I like the art itself.

Danni Filth. Twat.

But that's my point bud. It's when you quite like the music but some dickhead puts you off and you just can't bring yourself to say you like them.
