10 Rock Bands That Have Terrible Frontmen

6. Five Finger Death Punch

Heavy metal has certainly come a long way since the era of Metallica and Slayer. While the nu metal influx of whiny white boys was definitely a harsh time to be a metalhead, the heavier offerings from the likes of Avenged Sevenfold set things in motion to start the '00s off right. Then Five Finger Death Punch comes walking in with what appears to be God's gift to bros everywhere in Ivan Moody.

Granted, it's not really fair to mess with Moody too much here, considering that he has been making impressive strides to clean up his act with drugs and alcohol in recent years. That doesn't excuse his behavior beforehand though, which involved cancelling shows, calling out the media for not understanding him, and going so far as to lie about his mother passing away to get out of performing at one of his shows.

Even though he seems to at least be turning over a new leaf at this point, the shows themselves are still a long way from good, with most of the recent years being spent making propaganda about the pandemic and throwing logic out the window in the process. As much as Five Finger may have had potential in the beginning, if they keep going down this road any longer, chances are that potential is going to wither away a lot faster than you'd like it to.
