Biggest jerks in music

Actually, the whole M&M clause had a very important meaning and story behind it. The band was worried that their roadies were taking shortcuts and doing a half-@$$ed job with the stage, lightning, ect. Which would prove to be a major saftey concern, so they put the Brown M&M clause into the directions because they figured if the crew wouldn't pay attention to something as simple as that, they wouldn't be taking the time and care with something important as the stage.
I cant believe i forgot to mention Courtyney Love.
If I had a band and I had a wife, and I died, who controls the release of my band unrelearsed tracks?
How about the band?
Love wont let Krist and Dave release the new NIRVANA box set, cuz she claims she owns the rights to the songs.
And Lars, he not only sued Napster, but how about Victoria's Secret, and some tire company for using the name Metalica or something resembing it.
Doesnt he have enough money.
Peace

Ted Nugent.
Now theres an arogant SOB. I saw him on the local news when he came to town. He was trashing the town, the country and everything in between. I lost alot of respect for him that day . . .

So, I happened to meet Flea about two months ago in a Costa Rica airport. Thankfully, he seemed really cool in the brief couple of minutes I talked to him. It would suck to meet some one you look up to, only to find out they were a jerk. I also met Victor Wooten once and he also seemed really cool.
My wife used to work in a fancy hotel. The only famous person I remember her saying was a major b*tch was Whitney Houston. She said Chuck Norris was the nicest famous person she met.

I'd have to say I agree with the usuals(Metallica, Durst, Love, etc.), but I have a couple others. I like Guttermouth's sound, but judging from some of their lyrics they sound like real @$$e$. I also think Billy Corgan is really arogant.
One time I met Dicky Barrett from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and he was REALLY nice. So are The Ataris and AFI.

Off the top o' my head: The Robinson brothers (especially Chris), Henry Rollins, John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten), Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti, Rivers Cuomo, the Gallagher brothers, Lars Ulrich, Lief Garrett (that's right) and ICP.
EDIT: Kid Rock.

Let's see...
A couple summers ago, within the same week, Eminem pistol whipped his wife's "boyfriend" at a nightclub and either he or someone in his "entourage" pulled a gun on a guy (rumor has it a member of Insane Clown Posse) at a local car stereo installation place. My cousin was in the car stereo place at the time, so I tend to believe him on this one. He also released one song detailing to his kid how he'd kill the kid's mother and another that referred to his mother as a drugged out poor excuse for a parent. I think that moves him up the list.
Peace,

I'm surprised about Henry Rollins, he seems like a pretty kind and nice guy to be with. I mean, sometimes he makes too big a deal out of himself, but I didn't think he'd be that big of a jerk to his fans and such.
Rivers is typical introvert "nerd".
I'm a little on the fence about Eminem, on one hand he's not willing to make himself squeeky clean and presentable, he's more interested in being himself, which I respect. And his new song ("Without Me") is funny as hell.
On the other hand, I hate the fact that someone resorts to vulgar physical "threats" rather than using their wit (which, by all accounts, he has plenty of) to belittle one.

Henry Rollins?!?! Are you joking me?!?! Have you ever seen/read anything of his? The live interviews and his recordings make it very evident that he is a very nice and respectable guy.
Anyway, Scot Stapp seems like a HUGE jerk. I know someone that almost beat the snot out of him before he was famouse. I have to agree with the others (ie. Durst, M&M, Love, and Lars)
The singer from Weezer seems like a total arse in one of the more recent interviews with him.
Suprisingly enough, most metal/punk acts are very friendly.

LOL! The guys name is Dustin, he slightly resembles a guerilla. I think the only reason he didnt kill the guy was because of the 5 guys between them. To bad really...

A few that haven't been mentioned yet:
Jim Heath from Rev. Horton Heat - won't talk to anyone unless they're female.
Glen Benton from Deicide - self-explanatory.
Scott Thunes - from interviews I've read, he sure seems like a jerk.
Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King from Slayer - get off your high horses guys, and write some solos that are actually musical... please...
Why is Christina Alligator not on the list yet?!

Well, since everyone's mentioning Scott Stapp, I think I'll take it a step further and mention Scott Stapp's father. What a prickish, extreme right wing SOB. Watching him on "Behind the Music" just made me want to reach through the TV screen and punch him in the mouth. (And I'm not usually a violent guy) It's people like him that are ruining society.
I agree wholeheartedly that Eminem is a complete white trash moron. Courtney Love is a dumb hoe. Scott Stapp is a fake stuck up jerkoff with crazy Christian parents. Insane Clown Posse are complete and utter ***holes...telling little kids they should smoke something.
But one jerkoff that people failed to mention is Don Henley. Sure he and the Eagles made some great music and Hotel California is one of the best selling albums, but Don is so stuck up in every interview I've seen him in. He thinks he's the single greatest contribution to rock n' roll and believes that his **** has no stink whatsoever.
P.S. I hate the guys from P.O.D., never heard em talk but they rub me the wrong way.

Yes! I have seen him interviewed a few times and to me, he comes across as an a**h*le! If he didn't, or if I had never seen or heard him, I wouldn't have put him on my list! I didn't just name people at random!
Man, someone told me that he's trying to sue the National Eagle Foundation or something like that cause he's claiming that they are ripping the name off of the band. Please tell me that isn't true.
