Who are the most arrogant musicians out there?

[Banner_18]

When I think of this question, I immediately think of Gene Simmons and Axl Rose, and to a lesser extent, Dave Mustaine. Gene Simmons more in the general sense of arrogance, and Axl because of arrogance and because he's a gigantic diva. For what it's worth, I love all of the bands and music that these guys were a part of, and I understand that you have to have some ego to be a star in a band like this, but these guys really take it to another level. While I'm not really a fan of Poison, Brett Michaels seems like a genuinely good guy.

*I would rather not start talking about rappers, as that's obviously a whole other league.

I hate me some Noel Gallagher. All the obnoxious of a classic rock star, half the talent.

He's like Latrell Spreewell. Completely self absorbed with a huge chip on his shoulder and a feeling of global entitlement, but really with only enough Talent to be backround noise unless he's in just the right situation, and keeps his yapper shut.

Honestly, I think you will be much more hard pressed to find a musician who isn't arrogant.  It just comes with the territory I think.

I used to help put together small indie shows where bands would be lucky to be playing in front of more than 20-30 people, and the majority of them were still unbearable ****s.  I am not sure if it is just that the attention creates monsters, or monsters seek the attention, but it is incredible to see how few musicians have any sense of reality.

But I digress.  Here is my addition:

I will nominate Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins.Every interview is a litmus test for megalomania! Liam Gallagher is a definite...anyone who says they are better than the Beatles gets a nod.

Kanye West by far...even though I like his music, sometimes he just crosses the line; whether it's the Taylor Swift incident or him randomly blurting out that former president George W. Bush 'doesn't care about black people'. It seems like he hasn't quite developed his public speaking skills to where he can just keep his composure and not blurt out something rude or inconsiderate whenever he hears something that he doesn't like.
