    the tidbit about Morrissey wanting Jobriath on tour in '92 (not knowing Jobriath was dead) made me laugh.

    i appreciate that they included lenny kravitz:

    Lowest Point - His soundtrack cover of "American Woman," which added a sheen of light-rock gloss to a song that didn't need it.

    "when I had Zack "GeistEditor" Parsons give a listen to it, he described the discrepancy between its lavish production and awful content as being "like a statue of a retard carved out of white gold." - Fucking Priceless!!!

    Local DJ here in Portland told a story about being backstage at a Lenny Kravitz show... for the "meet and great" they had everyone line up single file and were ushered into a room where Lenny, of course wearing sunglasses, sat on an elevated gold chair that actually looked like a throne. He said it was one of the most ridiculous displays he's ever seen from a rockstar...

    I love this bit.

    "Aerosmith released their first album only shortly after The Who and Led Zeppelin peaked. Now, one hundred and forty five years later, they're one of the only "Classic Rock" acts that are still regularly putting out records that people buy. Why? Because people don't know their asses from their elbows."

    I almost spit out my drink when he called Steven Tyler a "flyweight geriatric ghoul."
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    That was a great read! I'll pass it along.

    You're correct, but he explains this sort of thing in the intro:

    "This list is not based upon flash-in-the-pan annoyance value alone; if it were, it would be filled with easy choices like Fred Durst and Chad Kroeger. Many of these figures, in fact, might be considered "Rock Legends" by the types of people who are prone to using terms like "Rock Legends." The rock stars listed here have earned their places in the annals of crappy rock star lore for various reasons; some are monumental failures, some are unforgettable jerks, and some have seemingly dedicated their lives to destroying any possibility that the words "rock and roll" will ever be associated with any sort of artistry or merit."

    Morrissey shouldnt even count as a rockstar, he sounds more like an opera singer and his lyrics are just whiney bullshit

    Lenny's second album Mama Said is actually quite good.

    Didn't Creed do 3 or 4 albums? That's not really flash in the pan annoyance. That asshole has been annoying me for many years. Just on the strength of his cheesy Messianic complex and body gestures alone should land him on this list.

    I thought "Are You Gonna Go My Way" was a killer album - all analog - vintage gear - Lenny played all the instruments - it sounded sweet!

    "Fly Away" and "American Woman" are total embarassments compared to his first 3 albums. That's not the original Lenny. It's sort of like the Aerosmith situation. They no longer resemble their original selves and have sunk down into MOR hell.

    that was funny
    Axl couldn't even get along with a bunch of addicts.

    Any article talking about buckethead and has a nipple picture is a winner.

    that picture of Bono is so right on
