And has had another baby.

I honestly thought he was such a good bloke and it’s turns out he’s just another philandering rock star. I’m so sad for his wife and daughters.

The only thing that would surprise me with celebs would be if a famous man was actually faithful.

Holidayhell22 · 11/09/2024 17:08

For me the worst thing is a married family man who is too old to be having a baby, is so arrogant that not only does he go around fucking anything with a hole, he doesn’t even use contraception!
How embarrassing for his wife and children.
If I was his daughter I wouldn’t want to be seen with him.

@MorrisZapp
Even that humble bloody Welsh comedian who turned out to be neither humble nor Welsh.
Whose that? I can't work out who it is.

Mark Watson, comedian from Bristol who uses a Welsh accent as it makes him 'funnier'.

He had a three year affair and his wife found out shortly after the birth of their second child.

Amateur. Robert Plant had a baby with his wife AND his wife’s sister. That’s rock n roll.

Stephen Tyler got legal guardianship of a 16 year old so he could “date” her - got her pregnant and then made her abort it.

These rock n roll men eh? 🤮

I wouldn't want to know my dad if he did what these men do.

It's not only rock stars that do this. It probably happens in e very town. It happened to my friend about 27 years ago. The marriage broke. A lot of water has gone under the bridge and they are friends and the adult kids are very close to dad.

That was his mistake, I think. I have seen both live but he thinks their fans are distinct groups.

Agree- in 2018 I actually saw Taylor at Wembley on the Friday night and Foos at London Stadium on the Saturday- and dare I say it, Taylor’s show was better!

I did actually wonder if maybe that had something to do with it, that this is the second time they’ve both toured and been in London at the same time, and both times Taylor got to play Wembley whilst Foos played the less prestigious venue. Perhaps Dave’s a bit bitter about that.

I'm just surprised he hasn't had the sense to have the snip.

SpiderPlanter · 12/09/2024 14:39

Just realised the irony of his Instagram being called ‘Dave’s true stories’

dottiehens · 12/09/2024 15:12

Oh he is a dirty dog like the rest of them. Telling us on how to vote too. 😂

DisappearingGirl · 12/09/2024 19:45

I'd also like to know what he said about Kirsten Pfaff and Kat Bjelland.

I dunno, he's done a shitty thing, but I'm not sure that means he's all bad. And did he really set his image up as a nice guy, or did people just assume that.

I assume he's just a normal guy

TarantinoIsAMisogynist · 12/09/2024 19:49

Aquamarine1029 · 10/09/2024 22:03

After he slagged off Taylor Swift, that told me everything I need to know about him. He's an arsehole.

I agree.

I'm not a swiftie myself, but that's just my personal taste. He's perfectly entitled to not like her music, but publicly slagging her off spoke volumes about him. He's shown himself to be an arsehole.

So basically just a common or garden misogynist then.

He’s definitely been doing a hard PR job on ‘nice guy’ for years. I recall watching him at a festival then the Chilli’s came on after and absolutely tore into his nice guy image. It seems jokey back then, but I wonder if there was more to it.

Really, that's so interesting. I've no idea how you'd even go about doing that!

Off topic but interesting what you were saying about Tim Armstrong, Brody Dalle and Josh Homme too. I was also a massive Rancid fan, loved Tim's voice and lyrics. I struggled to listen to them for a bit when I found out about him getting together with Brody when she was 16 and he was 30, and apparently being controlling. Then again it sounds like both Brody and Tim had pretty tough upbringings. Not sure about Josh. Quite sad all round really, with kids involved etc.

SpiderPlanter · 12/09/2024 21:59

Same, I used to have a crush on Tim. I didn’t realise for ages about Brody Dalle because she was in her twenties when I became aware of the Distillers and I never questioned her age. I’m the same as you, when I realised she was 16 and he was 30 it really changed things in my head. I saw them live after they split (before I knew the age gap) and he seemed genuinely devastated about breaking up as they talked about it on stage. When I later found out how young she was when they met it just all felt so wrong and I haven’t listened to them much since. I don’t think she is entirely innocent though, her new boyfriend sounds like a twat (possibly racist) and there were issues with the kids when she had them. But it’s hard to judge when you’re in the outside.

Problem is, so much of the art we consume that has been made by men is problematic. Music, literature, art - you start digging and they’ve all got some sort of skeleton in the closet like supporting Nazism or abusing kids or being misogynistic. That radio series ‘Evil Genius’ absolutely ruined so many people for me! I just wonder if there are any decent men out there who have been able to handle fame without exploiting someone…

I didn’t realise the extent of the accusations against Homme until recently. It’s all so messy.

Whenwillitgetwarm · 12/09/2024 22:09

I genuinely don’t understand how many of these rock stars haven’t even been in court let alone jail for their degenerate behaviour.

Bill Wyman
Jimmy Page
Anthony Kedis
Pretty much all of Motley Crew

The list is never ending with tales of underage girls, grooming etc. What Dave has done, although terrible for his family, is tame in comparison.

BitOutOfPractice · 12/09/2024 22:10

I’ve never been able to fathom the quasi-canonisation of this man. He’s just a mediocre middle aged bland rock bloke. 🤷‍♀️

To be fair, I think two of Motley Crue have been to jail, Vince Neil certainly did, although not for crimes against women in either case.

The bragging bothers me so much. Kiedis and Tyler bragging about sex with girls of 14 and 15 in their autobiographies is so utterly disgusting and just shows how they know they can get away with it. Tyler’s was dismissed earlier this year - despite the fact he wrote about it himself! How?! Fucking, how?!

Chris Brown beat Rhianna only a few years back and his fans adore him like it never happened.

Yet the world is desperate to cancel Blake Lively because she’s been rude and badly promoted a film about DV - I’m not saying those things are okay, but the priorities the general public have are wild.

Stll not sure why the two are related.

Because if the older, male ceo of your company stood up in front of their entire workforce and, unprompted, slagged off a young female ceo at a different company, making up actual lies saying that she doesnt do her job, id hope you would judge that to be shitty behaviour. Yes or No?

Because its an indication of character. Can't trust a liar.

The two still aren't related, even if they both happen to be seen as bad.

slightly of topic (as in not a musician) but I am always shocked that Mike Tyson seems to have been forgiven, and that was rape.

He disrespects women in public, and he disrespects them in private too.

Kobe Bryant too. The case fell through but he admitted it
