The biggest aresholes in rock

The funny thing about Marilyn Manson is that he literally couldn't harm a fly. As it's been said countless times, the whole image and character is made to shock (hardly the first person to do it, by the way I just thought of Alice Cooper as a similarly povoking yet calm and erudite rocker). But behind that, you hear him talk in some interviews (and defending himself in COURT), you read some of his lyrics and you get he's a clever man. My mother's a big fan and always told me he looked like he was picked on a lot at school.

he's actually kind of a jerk though.... not one of the nicest people in industrial rock, more full of himself than Al Jourgenson, though a lot less voaltile and angry...

Trent on the other hand is a very friendly person who really loves his fans... or he was anyway. I haven't actually sent him in a very long time. Not since I tagged along with buddy who ahd backstage passes to the Fragile tour. Rob Zombie is a SUPER NICE guy. One of the nicest people I have ever met. Under all that makeup and hair lies a total comicbook nerd and sweetheart of a human being. His wife is nice too.

I am way off topic now. Anyway, I don't think people were referring to manon's stage/pblic persona so much as his actual character.... and that character is an ill-tempered, self-absorbed premadonna who really borrowed a ladder so to speak from the whole NIN/Ministry pool of industrial rock acts and then eclipsed them and left a lot of them to languish. Maybe he's nier since he gave up drugs, but 15 years ago? incredibly rude and distant

assholes, assholes, assholes....

i dont even. know. i can list the not-assholes!

-kurt cobain -vedder -trent reznor -the entire band PUP (they are a punk band from Canada, look them up. they stop their live shows when ppl get hurt) -me

Being 6'3" and having had a pension for eating mass amounts of cheese and meat, I would dare say mine has to be pretty sizable.

Not sure either factor is directly related to the size of the exit wound.

I gotta second Phil Anselmo. After Vulgar Display of Power he just became some weird, fucked up asshat. I guess some people react to heroin differently then others.

some weird, fucked up asshat

I haven't heard/read the term 'asshat' since my wife died... keepin' it real here. Nice vocab.
