Hypothetically, there is a new superhero show coming out, and the trailer song for it is Romantic Homicide by d4vd. The reason is because the character’s love interest died in the origin story. How in bad taste would this be?
Terrible taste. A young girl was brutally murdered in real life.
Can literally use another song or write something that isn’t a literal retelling of her murder.
Fellas is it wrong to use old OJ Simpson in my new documentary on African American role models?
I came here to whine about people never being able to get past the “art independent of its artist” argument I see more and more for some reason.
But I decided to do some searching and at least learn the broad strokes of what’s going on here. TIL about d4vd, so yeah, fuck that guy.
art from the artist
i wouldnt want to listen to ian watkins or d4vd.
I’d argue that at this stage, the old lostprophets songs are OK, now that Ian Watkins is dead (that stabbing in the neck couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy) - He’s not benefiting from it.
Why did you create a new account? The old one was tagged too much?
There’s no way they keep that song.

Anybody that would pay him a royalty or licensing fee deserves to lose every dollar. People like him should not be glorified, promoted, etc.

Well, I googled it, and regret that. He appears to be the horriblest of people, if those charges are true. He’s a singer of some sort who killed someone. Just take it at that.
