The Biggest Jerk In Music?

[Soot and Stars]

Hands down Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit!

Anyone who would incite an audience that was already out of hand and risk innocent people being hurt or worse on a grand scale is an absolute asshole! This happened at Woodstock '99 and it took a concert series that started out of peace and love and turned it into a festival of destruction, rape and violence in general. I usually stick up for my generation but Limp Bizkit's existence is definitely a black mark on that time in music.

Man after watching the singer from Nickelback getting hit in the head by missiles,i dont blame him for going off,i'd have done the same.

As for Axl Rose,mmmmm,do i need to say anything.

Well lets see....

Jonas Brothers. They are a product being marketed to "Manipulate" young girls into spending their money on useless music.

I disagree with you and Gregjohnson on that point. Music has always been made to be sold. If the Jonas Brothers can therefore be called "jerks" for marketing "useless" music to the teenage demographic, then somebody else can label any of the bands whose music the three of us bought as teenagers as "jerks" simply because they don't like the music we bought at the time.

There has to be evidence of ill behaviour before a musician can be called a jerk.



They can of course still "suck" simply because we don't like them or be overrated simply because we don't like them and they have too many fans for our liking.

Google this if you want Foxhound.....

Jonas Brothers lip sync in Times Square. I am sorry, Foxhound, but lip syncing is definite evidence of musical jerks!

Okay then. That's the kind of evidence I want provided in this thread - as opposed to just nominees of artists one thinks have no merit.

I don't blame him either. If he's a jerk for some other reason, that reason has yet to be provided.

A lot of people think this guy is a jerk, too:

Scott Stapp

(I also like Creed, too)

For his bad haircut or some other reason?




I realize, Foxhound, you probably aren't into a lot of music gossip, but before Creed broke up (they are reunited now, though) Scott Stapp displayed some pretty "jerky" behavior on stage.


Google: Scott Stapp gets drunk. You will discover he was going on the concert stage loaded and forgot the words to his songs. He got sued by fans of that concert for a bad performance. He also made some TV appearances loaded, and embarrassed the band.

This definitely qualifies him as a jerk.

To support the Axl Rose nomination as "jerk".....

google: Axl Rose fights. He loves to duke it out.


Also, if Diana Ross is nominated for her unique and eccentric demands placed upon her staff, Axl Rose can also be placed on the "Jerk" list for his demands.


Here is video evidence from James Hetfield:

Well then thank Perkunas and the other many and varied gods of my forefathers that I knew nothing about Creed or Scott Stapp then. I would have been forced to nominate him myself since I demand a full effort from the musicians when I buy a concert ticket. They better not forget that they're working for me the paying customer.

What an asshole! Somebody should point the detail to him that he's behaving like a woman - and then laugh at him as he goes into apoplexy!
