for years I'd have thought that John Lydon would be a cert for this thread - the more I read about him the more he seems like an all round decent human being
There is a good interview when he appears on jonseys jukebox, comes across as a decent bloke.
I got his autobiography for Christmas & looking forward to reading it.

Top of my list of musicians who are utter stes: Vince Neil.

Had his successes with Motley Crue, but what a truly st human being he is:

- Killed Razzle of Hanoi Rocks whilst drunk / drug driving (served 15 days in jail, paid heavy fine. 15 days - WTF??)

- Assaulted a 'worker' at the moonlight bunny ranch

- Beat a sound engineer unconscious

- DUI in a Ferrari, got off on a bargain for Reckless Driving

- Done for drunk driving (three years after the DUI) and for smashing up a fan's camera (15 days in jail- WTF?)

- Sued for fraud regarding investments in a football team

- Charged for assaulting a woman outside a Casino in Vegas (pulled her over by her hair!) - (6 months probabation & $1000 fine - WTF?)


He's been getting off very lightly with criminal behaviour for a very long time.

I used to like Motley Crue when I was younger - can't listen to them now because Vince is such an utter piece of st.

I was a Crue fan but i have to say, i preferred the album they did with Corabi who got shafted because the record label wanted Vince back.

About 8 years ago I did a couple of days work for Damon Albarn at his house. I always assumed he was a bit of a prick, from what I had seen of him. But he was actually a really really nice bloke, even made me a drink of two.

My wife worked on reception at Capital Radio in the early '80s so met quite a few music and other celebs. Nicest she said were Suggs and Muhammad Ali.

Worst by quite a margin was Diana Ross who for some reason (forgot what she said happened) had to be removed by security. hehe

Marilyn Manson is racking up a few accusations of being a misogynistic tt.

I think it’s going beyond that. He seems to be out-stting Vince Neil. If the allegations are true he should be looking at a very long time in jail, and rightly so.

I always thought Manson seemed like a very intelligent guy who could cultivate a public image for the purpose of selling his art, but when people have played down his antics in the 90s and 00s as being a big act, I assumed that couldn't be the full story, it always seemed too committed.

Regardless of whether criminal proceedings take place, it sounds like he has already been found guilty in the court of public opinion. With that said, there are a lot of people speaking out against him. Perhaps he will face a judge and jury over the allegations one day.

He's undoubtedly a very intelligent guy. I suspect he's blurred the lines between the image and music / art that he created in the early days and real life. The end result is looking extremely ugly based on some of the statements that have been released.

The "court of public opinion" is the one that worries me. If he's guilty charge the bugger, try him then throw away the key. Vile.

The issue however is proving it "j'accuse" cannot/should not be all that is needed

Have we had Ian Brown yet?

He's turned into a massive Covid denier over on Twitter.

He's always been a knob. I remember him yelling abuse at Tracey McLeod on the Late Show because of a technical hitch during a Stone Roses set.

God that’s a long time ago!

Went to see a gig with a guitarist who “co-wrote” all IB’s solo stuff years and years ago, let’s just say it was pretty clear where everything came from.
