Here's some examples:

Michael Stipe - brilliant with R.E.M., but have you heard an interview with him? Arrogant and dull!

Tim Booth - love his music and writing with James and solo...absolute g*b****e though!

The Mars Volta only allow girls backstage after their live shows. Cedric cites the reason being that "we're around thirty guys every day, why would you want to be around more?":rolleyes:

Johnny Borrell: Razorlight. Have released some cracking singles but Borrell is such a spanner.

I love Joy Division. I thought he was a pretty unassuming guy actually.

He's of the Moby breed. The worst kind of bratty preening yank.

He'd have to make a gag to begin with in order to repeat it! Can't imagine ole "Cheery" Curtis cracking too many funnies to be honest.

Anyway back on topic Axl Rose is a Grade A spanner.

I absolutely adore Joy Division, but I believe Curtis was not a nice fella at all.

Could get roasted for this but Robert Plant always came across as a bit of an arrogant twat to me in interviews.

Stipe hates talking about music and has admitted that if he finds the interviewer boring and asking routine questions he gets frustrated. I was talking to some of the staff in gruel on dame st where he ate nearly everyday when REM did the 5 night stint in the olympia. They said he was always pleasant, friendly, polite and kept to himself. Which is what i expected him to be like. Top bloke in my opinion and he'd be welcome round my house for tea... any day of the week.

But isn't this the role of the singer?
Can't believe no one has mentioned our own Bongo. He make it better
Marilyn Manson also based on some recent interviews
Ian Brown
Liam Gallagher
John Lennon could be annoying at times

Glen Hansard x 1million - an absolute t0$$3r

Regular plums;
Stuart Goddard - Aka Adam Ant, nutter.
Anton Newcombe from Brian Jonestown Massacre
Luke Steele from Sleepy Jackson/Empire of the Sun
Brandon Flowers (ever read his interviews? He pulls personal problems out of thin air)
Prince - need I say more

Definitely.
His arrogance far outweighs his talent imo.

If that's how you feel, then do not post here, it does not make the thread any better and drags it off topic, consider this the only warning you will get for doing it.

Thom Yorke (sorry)

I enjoy both bands, but their vocalists are insufferable. I reckon it goes with the territory though.
