Looked up an interview with Damon albarn.

What am absolute twat.

From his Blur days to now in his Gorillaz days is the biggest ego transformation I've ever seen.

I think some of ye are being a bit harsh; Frank Stapleton is alright in my book.

John Walters is an absolute knob.

A certain former Manchester United captain. Unbelievable player and I would have been a fan up until the last few years.

Just any interviews he gives he seems to delight in saying very personal criticisms of other players and managers. You can see a wry smile across his face when he's saying it. Most of it is unnecessary and funnily enough I find it hypocritical given how upset he was when his former manager was heavily critical of him in his book. He takes away from his past glories by coming across as a bitter man.

I don't think he'd be much of a musician! I also love his scathing commentary. The way I see it, people who know how to deliver results demand high standards. No bull about him!

But yeah, definitely an arsehole too.

I heard someone describe them as "busy w@nkers" and I think its a wonderfully apt description.

For me, no. That’s what makes it worse. I hate Jamiroquai. I think they are so pedestrian and that’s what makes Jay Kay’s egomania harder to take. I hear Thom Yorke can be a knob but, gawd, has he earned it.

Speaking of egomaniacs who lead pedestrian bands - who could forget the fragrant Johnny Borrell from Razorlight?

I’ve had it in for the Happy Pear twins ever since one of them said eating vegetables prevents cancer. Urge to kill... rising. A healthy lifestyle lowers risk but I know so many people with exemplary lifestyles who are dying from cancer so that claim made me legitimately angry. So goddamn pious and smug.

Not really, mental health does not excuse bad behaviour. She throws out random accusations of sexual assault. She accused some poor bellhop in Dublin of sexual assault because he looked at her crooked. That is fupping with innocent peoples lives. These unpursued accusations still go on someones record.
I have a sister the same, another complete so and so.

That would change my assessment. I know Sinead O'C vaguely for reasons I won't get into on here, and yes, I like her music so probably am somewhat biased in her favour, but you're certainly right that mental health issues shouldn't be used to excuse that kind of behaviour, if what you say is correct.

Ginger Baker (Drums)
Watch the documentary "Beware of Mr Baker" to see he what an absolute arse he was to the end. Everyone hated him. A proper genius and one of the greatest drummers of any genre.

Dave Mustaine (Guitar)
An egotistical self centered narcissist scarred from his early days in Metallica. A brilliant lyricist, songwriter and guitarist and junkie until he found God.

Gene Simmons (Bass)
The cvnt oozes annoyance. Kiss were shyte - a boy band of 1970's rock. And he was central to their bollocks. All about money and he was unashamed of that.

Miles Davis (Trumpet)
A misogynistic wife beater. One of the greatest musicians/artists that has ever lived and his work will last centuries. Because it's genius. But he was difficult by all accounts and had a long track record.

Bryan Ferry (Vocal)
To quote the great Lester Bangs - "A vacuumous human being". He went and married his sons ex who was 30 odd years his junior not long ago.

I'd have that lot produced by Phil Spektor.

The story seems to have gone away, its been taken down off the internet. It did happen in the last two years and she made a statement to the guards. She is a liability.

indeed, he even fcuked off with the cash after a gig with his son leaving him with fcukall, still his duet with the late great Tony Allen on "Fela With Ginger Baker Live!" is just drumming at its best

but he definitely deserves a mention on the arsehole supergroup, but then again he was more a prick than arsehole

that arsehole accolade is reserved for Damon Albarn

I never remember him as being very likable or likable at all for that matter. Blur have some very good songs but there is something rather punchable and disingenuous about him, that’s before you struggle with serious volumes of pretension.

Billy Corgan - Love the Smashing Pumpkins and he has written some amazing songs....but he is undeniably a dickhead of the highest order.

Terry pain in the hole Prone and her obnoxious flute of a son...can't think of his name. What a tosspot. Pretentios accent, know it all, prize budgeen, white power hosed teeth, I'd say he has a tiny budgeen, sincer as a prostitutes kiss.

Roy keane is kinda full of sh*t. His barbed comments can be funny, but there is always a nasty element to them also. He is also a total hypocrite and is often guilty of exactly the thing he is jibing about. He is just one of these that doesnt want to give anyone credit.
The reality of it is alex ferguson kinda clocked him for what he was, got as much as he could out of him, and then cut him loose before he inevitably got troublesome. That is the real reason why keane hates ferguson - he realises he was kinda outfoxed, and it kills him.

It's also amazing that netflix or somebody hasn't done a documentary about him yet. Total head-the-ball.

I am perversely inspired to see the lack of love for the Happy Pears. A friend has one of their cookbooks and when I am over I usually take down the book for a quick flick through just to once again go Bawhawhaw! look at the actual state of these two gobdaws. They just bring out my badness. Some of their cake recipes are really good though. Sadly

Why Emma Watson? I don't particularly like her or anything, just curious.

Saddened to see Sinead O'Connor and Pete Doherty mentioned here.

I don't have a "list" but any list of mine would only mention those as giants. I don't care whether they are arseholes or not, their music can speak for itself.

Ray D'arcy is another story.

Now you're just picking famous people who are arseholes and that thread's been done.


This is about a supergroup of arseholes so I'd imagine it would be the sole reserve of musicians and vocalists who are arseholes.


I would add


Ted Nugent (absolute turd)
Madonna (c*nt)
Dave Lee Roth
Gene Simmons
Lars Ulrich
Kid Rock

Britney Spears
