By Edtrader September. 1st, 2023
There have been times where fans or fellow musicians were the victims of a musician someone's miscreant ways.

#8. Michelle Shocked.
Punk and folk artist Michelle Shocked made an anti-gay rant in San Francisco of all places. It was during a concert in 2013 when she uttered the words 'God Hates Fa**ots' in a plea to get tweets. Then she spoke of Prop 8 and how it will force preachers at gun point to do gay marriages. The fans booed and cursed at her for this douchebag action. She later proclaimed that it was a misinterpretation of her speech. But it was too late. Her remaining tour dates were pulled.

#7. Guns N' Miscreants.
Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose has do*che bagged guitarist Slash on numerous occasions. Guns N Roses were to do a cover of Sympathy For The Devil on a Rolling Stones tribute album. The band recorded the track, and it was ready to be mastered for the album. Without telling Slash, his guitar parts were covered over. And replaced by Axl's friend Paul Huge. But that was nothing compared to the next thing.
After the GNR's demise, Axl was interviewed, and he said the most do*che bagged line ever. Saying that Slash was a cancer that needed to be cut out. Slashes mom suffered and died of cancer. Which pissed Slash off as much as you thought it would.

#6. Douching fans.
Former Black Sabbath singer Tony Martin really doesn't like fans taking pictures or videos of him onstage. In fact, if he sees you videoing him, he will point you out. And tell you not to let that video out.
But Peter Frampton took it a step further. As he grabbed a fan's camera phone. Asking if he could see the pictures he and his wife had taken. The fan handed it to him, but then, Peter threw it behind the stage.

#5. Sharon's shit.
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi said in his autobiography that in the mid-80s he opened this package that had just come into the studio. To find a pile of mushy shit in the box. The address stamped on it was Sharon Osborne's business address. Ozzy and Black Sabbath had been negotiating getting Black Sabbath back together. But it fell apart and further strained the relationship between the two parties. Come to find out, Sharon admits that she has sent several people in the industry boxes of her children's shit over the years.
#4. Sting.
Sting is a self-proclaimed perfectionist. One who truly does what's best for himself, no matter what. While in The Police, guitarist Andy Summers wrote and performed this wonderful instrumental track called Behind My Camel. Which went on to win the Best Rock Instrumental Grammy. But while deciding what tracks to include on their new album, 1982's Zenyatta Mondatta, Sting didn't want this on there.
He didn't like the song so much that he even didn't play on it. After strong arguments, it was clear that Sting wasn't going to get his way. So he stole the master tapes from the recording and buried them in the garden out back. Not telling anybody where he did it. He finally gave it up, and the song went on the album!

#3. David Lee Roth.
People wonder why the DLR/Van Halen reunion in 1996 lasted for 5 minutes. According to Eddie Van Halen, it was because David was acting like an idiot. First, he was an embarrassment at the MTV Video Music Awards. Dancing behind Beck as he was giving his thanks speech.
Then afterwards, during the press conference, Eddie was being asked about the future. And truthfully, he said he needed hip surgery. And they'll see what happens. DLR went from being a happy guy to being miserable. Eddie asked what was going on, and DLR, like a douchebag, said it was all about himself. So Eddie told him, Fine, I won't bring up the hip again. Then DLR followed with, He better fu*king not!
