Most obnoxious rock star

Hey where's the ROCK OF LOVE?? The one from Poison, haha, that man is a joke. Though, nice "reality" show, hehe.

Other:

Ted Nugent.  Way too much ego for such little talent.

+1 On Malmsteen.
I saw him live in 2006, he pulled an amazing array of "I'M GOD" facial expressions when he performed , but if anything, even if he does the talk, he can do the walk I guess.

Completely agree with you.
The saddest part is knowing he really was into it for the love of back when the band were in their musical prime from 1981 to 1989.
As much as Dave Mustaine was sometimes full of sh*t and said some pretty harsh things, at least I can respect him for having way more integrity than Lars.
Mustaine would always admit his second guitarist in his band, no matter what the line up was, could run rings around him in the lead guitar field and he still does, which shows some degree of humbleness in him.
Even in Megadeth's most commercial sounding stuff, their was still always this element to it that showed he wasn't completely in it for the money, it's hard to explain, but it's a vibe lacking in say, Load, Reload and St Anger.
 For example, Youthanasia had A Tout Le Monde on it, but despite it's melodic bent, you can feel every ounce of Mustaine's heart and soul in that song.

He got hit by one in the eye, stuck there mysteriously according to legend and he took a very hissy fit .  Funny really . He should have just "sucked it up"   I don't think it's very funny to be assaulted at one's place of work.

I'd like to back up Jim Garten's Ted Nuegent recommendation. Along with his faked videos about bow and arrow hunting, he uses the stage to go on about US citizens who can't speak English.

I read that Art Garfunkel once stopped a show and kicked a woman off stage who was doing sign language for deaf people.

Regarding Jammun's reference to patient rock stars, when I was much younger I bugged the crap out of Fripp at a record signing, he waited a good 20 minutes or so before he finally got a chance to put in a well timed put-down in front of all that were there. It was very embarassing.

It could be put down to mental illness, rather than being obnoxious. He's never been the most stable of people.

I'd like to vote for both Axl Rose, (I cant stand that man) and Gene Simmons. Even as a 12 year old Kiss fan, I thought he was a complete d!ck. Recent TV appearences have merely confirmed this belief. Ace Frehley was the best in Kiss..
