8 ’70s Musicians You’d Avoid Meeting 🎸

The 1970s gave us some of the most iconic music in history — wild rock concerts, rebellious lyrics, and unforgettable stars. But behind the stage lights and gold records, some musicians carried a much darker presence. In this video, we reveal 8 musicians from the ’70s you probably wouldn’t want to meet in real life — and the shocking reasons why.

These artists weren’t just eccentric — they were known for being aggressive, unpredictable, or downright terrifying off stage. From violent outbursts to disturbing beliefs, their fame masked a personality that fans might’ve thought twice about idolizing had they known the full story.

Inside this countdown, you’ll discover:
🎸 A punk legend whose rage didn’t stop when the mic turned off
🎤 A soul singer whose personal life was full of chaos and cruelty
🥁 A glam rock star with a chilling obsession that blurred reality
🎶 A folk icon whose unpredictable behavior haunted bandmates
🎷 A jazz prodigy who made headlines for more than just his music

These musicians defined an era — but some were also trapped in addictions, scandals, or inner demons that made them dangerous to those around them. Back then, their behavior was often excused as “rock star lifestyle.” But today, many fans look back and ask: how did they get away with it for so long?

Whether it was backstage fights, abusive relationships, or straight-up criminal activity, these stories go far beyond the usual rock 'n' roll clichés. Some of them have been reevaluated in recent years, and others remain legends — with a much darker legacy than their music suggests.

Stick around until the end — #1’s actions off-stage shocked even the most jaded music historians, and once you hear what they did, you may never hear their songs the same way again.
