Who do you think is the most egotistical rock star on the planet?

I'm a huge KISS fan, but Gene Simmons is a true ego freak in my opinion. Others worthy of a mention include Axl Rose, Elton John, Tommy Lee.


Take a look at these stars ridiculous demands:

Sometimes the demands do get ridiculous. I guess they can't exactly walk into a store at each location to get what they want, so they have it made available.

Being married to a singer, I have learned it's not always ego in the self centered way, but more of a confidence. The trade off is that without that confidence / ego we would have no artists or actors.

I took a gander at one and randomly selected Clay Aiken (our hometown boy).

What's sad is that his request for a sofa is followed by (Clean, and "fresh").

Looks silly, but MANY sofa's found backstage are worse than dumpster ready. We're talkin' NASTY!

So....we know they have to have confidence...and I wasn't knocking that...

But there are music celebrities who have huge egos and think they gods gift to the public, who do YOU think they are?

What I hate is small-timers who have that crazy ego-driven personality!
It's just sad, and annoying as all piss.
These wanna-bes and no-talents that strut around the city, marking their territory with their faces and crap....ugh.

Uh, yeah. Laughing

Avril Lavigne. Ugh. She is quite the brat.

I myself sing, and have been around a lot of musicians.
I have a tendency to be drawn to their lot.
It really depends on the person and what they are in the industry for.
Some are ridiculous, insufferable brats who crave attention because they actually have zero true confidence. Some just have a talent and enjoy music.

The other night, I was hanging out with Keith Richards. We were shooting up some heroin and corrupting some overweight Puerto Rican hookers. Just before he passed out, Keith looked over at me and said something truly profound: "Bbob....you...should...ttake.....zzzzzzzzzzz"

Man, he is way cool.
