I've listened to Pentagram, but haven't paid attention in ages.

Is there a particular reason he's just suddenly started going viral as "EPIC STAGE GUY" or did it just finally happen?

Just one of those images that went maximum viral for no particular reason, like Hawk Tuah and a thousand more that most of us have forgotten already.

Someone who made his parents life pretty much hell for all his existence and topped it off by attacking his elderly mom is not cool in my book.

Well, that's the thing. Hawk Tuah is a one-time thing that happened and it went viral, Bobby's been psychotic-looking stage guy forever. But yeah, it probably just kinda happened.

The only time I saw Pentagram ( 15/20 years ago) , I had no idea what to expect or what any of the guys looked like .

This was before the movie and the mother stuff .

I was shocked how awesome he was as a frontman and the energy he had , he reminded me of a David Lee Roth from the 70’s with his over the top flamboyance, although he looked like he was already 70 but was just killing it on stage .

Not sure how he is nowadays, but the time I saw him he brought it 100% , and did it better than the vast majority of frontmen 1/2 his age .

I had read that he got coked up and pushed his mom down some stairs, did he do more than that? I wonder if his parents are still alive?

He was immensely talented. But a fucking loser who couldn't get out of his own way. Fuck no he wasn't cool.

Some of the music is great and he has stage presence , good front man.

But cool, no.

Also seems to have lived by life sponging off parents then attacked his own mom. Very not cool.

The social media clips are entertaining but I don’t think just happened. They’re coinciding with tour, album I suspect the work of his record co/management/ promotions person/fan club. Although yeah it caught on.

He made some amazing music. Big fan of everything with Griffin, but there's some steller material on his own too:

But that last episode with his mother was just too much, fuck him.

UK and Ireland too, at end of June / early July. I saw them at the same venue in London many years ago, long before the revelations. I have a couple of albums that I enjoy, but I'd already decided not to go for the reasons given above.
