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?

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

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

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.

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 have to disagree with you (for once) as Gainsbourg
![]() 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.

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( ![]() |

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.

Charming fellow, had I known he might win the prize, I would have put him near Axl
![]() Wow, incredible lack of class. I guess he is perfect

I guess I'm not up on my rock stories - I like the music.
Bowie? What did he ever do to be obnoxious? Just curious. Ozzy and Keith Moon never seemed blatently obnoxious, just chemically altered.
I saw a Cat Stevens DVD of a concert from the seventies. When someone stuck a rose to his microphone stand he called them a #!%*ing idiot. That was pretty obnoxious. Couldn't believe quiet peaceful Whatever-his-name-is-now would do such a thing.
But I'm voting for Gene Simmons on the strength (or weakness rather) of his interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air alone.

I guess you haven't heard Bowie's recent concert "Lollypop" scandal . He got hit by one in the eye, stuck there mysteriously according to legend and he took a very hissy fit .

Well so many have been such assholes for so many years it's hard to vote, so I won't
I'd rather recall the musicians who graciously (if perhaps wincingly) allowed me -- a fairly rude 20-year-old at the time -- to get in their face during a break to talk to them: Bill Connors and Chick Corea (Return to Forever), Candy Givens (Zephyr), and the great Count Basie come immediately to mind as the good examples. All were highly tolerant of the idiot (me) who was seriously invading their space.

From the list Axl Rose. To add another to the list I would add "Diamond Dave" David Lee Roth.
