Music's Top Megalomaniacs

When was the last time you told the world you would be the embodiment of their generation? or threatened to kill a coworker cause he says your work sucks? lets admit it.... probably never. This is why your not a rock star. BUT, the professionals have perfected the art of the Ego (yes, capital E)

Heres everyone's favorite big-egoed (is there such a word?) musicians...

Runner Up: Wes Scantlin: Has been known to bathe in Elvis's pool (true story-he randomly jumped in while on tour) and he calims he is better than kurt cobain, which to me, personally, is like calling Houdini a fraud. His own lyrics: "I'm so sure/what a snotty thing to say/Stuck up people always get their way.../ I don't wanna be like you." Jokes on you, Wes.

10. Axl Rose: Two words: Chinese Democracy. Not even worth mentioning his feuds with Vince Neil; Kurt Cobain; Tommy Hilfinger; his own guitarist, Slash; Tommy Stinson from Eagles of Death Metal; Bon Jovi; and the pope.






9. Kanye West: Has stormed on stage during awards programs to argue a contested result. In 2006, he stated he would "have a problem" if he didnt win album of the year.




8. Bono: kinda a given. He can be save orphan's in Africa one day and then sing to a crowd of 20,000 teens the next.

7. Madonna: Exhibit A: she was born in the '50s. Exhibit B: any picture of her. Something isnt quite right, is it?

6. Eminem: scaled down to size since his glory days. The over 250 lb "slim shady" was approached recently to do a spot for Jenny Craig. That kinda puts you into place.

5. Prince: or is he that symbol still?

4. Pete Townshend: repeatedly called The Who the best live band ever, and purposefully blew the stage up a few times. Perhaps were invincible too?

3. Michael Jackson: another given.... wants all people to idolize him.... ALL people

2. Gene Simmons: Out to sell you some KISS merchandise, and make a move on national television on Donald Trump's daughter.



1. John Lennon: Said that his band was Jesus. No one else on this list has tried that. The vatican just now forgave him of his past transgressions. There is some inside info on that story though-back in the '60s, the church was more than happy to portray the Beatles as the antichrist as Europe (particularly the UK) was taken by Beatle fever. Still today, calling popular musical acts "the devil" only adds street cred.
