The biggest douche-bag in music

[Frolid]

Synyster Gates or Billy Corgan.

synyster gates blowssss.

 

[fuzzfan1]

Phil Anselmo
Dave Mustaine
Axl Rose

Talent or not, Grade A 100% Douchebags! Take your pick!

 

[LordOVchaoS]

Synyster Gates or Billy Corgan.

synyster gates blowssss.

...and Billy Corgan is just flat out fucking annoying!

 

[Fartknocker]

My nominees:

Tom Morello - Hate his playing, hate his politics. If communism is so great why doesn't he move to Cuba?
Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro, Jason Newstead - Thanks for Rock Star Supernova! It was fun to watch you humiliate yourselves on national television!
Eddie Vedder - He hates being famous, maybe he should quit music.
Fred Durst - Holy crap where do you even start with this guy? The epitome of douche-bag. The good news is that he seems to be finally fading into obscurity.
Steve Vai - The Fabio of shred!
Bon Jovi - He's a "Cowboy" and he rides on a "steel horse" and he's "wanted: dead or alive". Give me a fucking break! I hope that his acting career goes well so he can be in movies and tv shows that I will never watch!
Henry Rollins - Speaking of an acting career, this guy sold out a long time ago. His Rollins Band releases suck sweaty donkey balls, and his talk show is watched by 4 people nationally (Did you even know he had one?)
Alexei Laiho - What kickass keyboards in your death metal! Have another drink and break yet another arm!
Randy Blythe (Lamb of God) - I can't even pinpoint why, this guy just seems like a poser.



Had to make an edit to say that I forgive Gilby Clarke for Rock Star Supernova as he seemed embarrassed/disinterested in it when I watched, thus he was the only one in the "band" I could relate to.

 

[Rob Tahan]

I agree with all of those except for Steve Vai. He is probably one of the nicest most genuine guitarists I've ever met. .. And he loves his fans.

How could we all forget Yngwie!!!

 

[Gitfiddler]

michael jackson, a host of rappers, justin timberlake, brittney spears, john tesh, eddie and alex van halen, jani lane, courtney love, prince.

as far as zakk wylde's concerned, doug aldrich needs to be ozzy's guitar player.

+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Honestly, I think drugs did this guy in! Janes Addiction's Nothings Shocking album is great and his playing sounds great, but then after that, it's like he cant play anymore. Like he forgot how to play.

i dunno, there is some fantastic guitar work on janes addiction "strays" album

peace

I'm a Poison fan, but I've never heard a good thing about Bobby Dall. Seems like a complete dickhead and the most expendable member of the band.

I'll throw a vote in for Gene Simmons too.


The BIGGEST douchebags usually required talent to get where they are.
examples:
Axl (great frontman)
Zakk (I like no more tears, no rest, and Ozzmosis)
Yngwie (great guitarist)

Yngwie is the fjucking embodiment of a bag of douche.

 

[j666]

i'd like to see how many peeps thought all of you were douchebags for answering the question...

 

[Hectic Watermelon]

Below his nose, looks like a big muff.

It's called a nut tickler.

 

[PeteLaramee]

Wow, where do I begin? With the exception of the obvious rappers...

Zakk
Axel
Bono
Everyone in Rage...
Yngwie
EVH
Steven Tyler
Mustaine
Anselmo
Hetfield
Lars
Mick Brown
Nugent
Me

 

[Juggernaut]

I think Mustaine as a businessman and in interviews seems like a douchebag, but I've met him several times, and has ALWAYS been super cool and humble. go figure....

Randy Blythe was nothing but fucking cool as hell when I met them, goofy and joked around the whole time, was really a nice guy.

Zakk circa 1989 = badass
Zakk now = douchebag x 10

Anslemo
everyone in Rage
Bono
Axl
Man-O-War (all douchebags ESPECIALLY the bassist)

my friend has met alexi, said he was one of the most modest laid back and cool guys she's ever met, which she said she was suprised at. randy blyther never reallly come a cross as a poser and steve vai? what? just my opinions

 

[simbasa]

Okay, I guess he doesn't really meet all of the criteria, but man I think this guy is a major douchebag.

I would say he's the closest to meeting all of the OP's requirements.

I'm not into his political bullshit agenda and for all the musicians everyone has mentioned so far, he has the least talent of all of them, IMO.

[gtr31]

Bret Micheals maybe not an Ahole but generally a complete idiot ..

EVH when he is off the wagon I think has got to be one of the worst ..ask his tech's.

Vivian Campbell seems to be quite the prick.

Lars ..kind of a given ..

 

[vultures]

Rusty Cooley recorded their guitar parts in the studio for them

I can't stand those cocksnobbers. Interesting about Cooley (who also comes off as dickwad to me).

Oh, and Axl (am I the only guy on the planet that thinks this guy cannot sing to save his life?) and Morello.
