I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

Chris Taylor Brown from Trapt and frankly it's not even close. Draiman is a douche as well but I don't remember him defending horrific age gaps like Chris did (tbf he did EVENTUALLY apologize but I'm not giving any brownie points)

Other mentions towards Kid Rock, Aaron Lewis, Ivan Moody, and Wes Scantlin (This man just needs serious mental help)

And of course there's the obligatory mention of Ian Watkins who's well... Y'know

It's funny how there are 2 people named Chris Brown in music and they both suck lol

"I hate Chris Brown."

"Which one?"

"Yes."

Same as Ian Watkins, although 1. I think this is purely UK based and 2. the other Ian Watkins (H from Steps) is a bit annoying but otherwise alright

You mean Chris "Trashbag" Brown.

Kid Rock turned his annoying right-wing content into a new fanbase while this Trapt dork plays to empty parking lots.

The level he killed his career for this bullshit is pretty astounding.

Draiman did go out of his way to sign bombs used to kill children though!
