I'm sorry you've seemed to have left off of your list one Steven Tyler. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting that asshole in 1976 when I was concert chairman at my college. Aerosmith was the opening act and that son-of-a-bitch was drunk when he hit the stage for their sound check. He proceeded to shakeup a can of beer and cover me from head to toe in beer foam. The legend of Aerosmith nearly ended that day because I was going to rip his lungs out thru his eye sockets. A couple of my associates whisked me out of the arena and things got back to normal.

AXL ROSE!! At last I'm seeing hate for such bands that outside the prog world, they are so praised and told to be AMAZING!! That's amazing! They suck!! (no offense, please)
I, somehow, have fun with Gene Simmons. Though, somehow similar with Axl, he thinks he's God of rock, and really he has not near being at least in heaven(  , get it?) of rock.

I have to disagree with you (for once) as Gainsbourg  is a phenomenal musician, composer, yes with a twisted sense of humor like a French Zappa but should not be put in a same thread with guys like Rose or Simmons.or Rotten.
I do like almost all his songwriting fhe recorded under his name or for Jane Birkin until he went ''reggae'' which i didn't like.

Bono - just because, that's why
...having said that, I will be taking great pleasure in waiting 15 years after it's eventual release before buying Chinese Democracy.... assuming I'll still be alive by then.

I would say:
1) Gene Simmons as biggest swine
2) Roger Waters as most arrogant
3) Lars Ulrich as biggest sellout
and
4) Axl Rose as biggest all-round jerk.

I got to relate the Gainsbourg story. He was on French TV and asked if he was afraid of anybody. The chain -smoking unshaven playboy casanova poet pulled out a large denomination Franc bill and burned it while everyone was looking on aghast . )As in most countries, its a crime especially publicly) The host kept telling him that he won't be able to deny it. Serge sneered back the French equivalent of f*** them . Live on TV  He also openly (and very crudely) proposed immediate sex with a famous female American movie star who was on the same show . Incredible.

is there any doubt? Gene Simmons, though somehow he'd be the one I'd want to hang with more than anyone on that list.. they'd all be way too hip for me, and a few there would start drooling on my shoe and it would be embarrassing

These "gentlemen" have at one time or another displayed bad attitude, bad taste, bad vibes, supreme egos and just plain pure stupidity. There is a story behind each one , most really just to get in the press.
Who are your basket cases?
