Biggest music egos? (Page 3 of 4)

You guys forgot about the obvious one...me.  Clearly.

And as far as Kanye West goes, I did not get it at first, and hated him.  But now I understand.  And I am a huge fan.  Giant giant giant fan.

I think he might be one of the few dudes who I am that big of a fan of.

Several years ago I saw an interview that was done with the ex members and it was for certain a situation of ongoing hostility. Aside from the breakup of the band there was apparently a scenerio where the band members were completely taken to the cleaners by either the record label , their management or possibly both. Things emerged in this interview about how they were told they owned houses, apartments , nice cars etc and it turned out they actually owned nothing, it was all a lie and it was all actually rented. I believe they were also told that their money was being banked in the islands and also invested for them and this all later turned out to be gone. In the end they had nothing.
Penthouse paupers for real  !!
When asked if they'd ever get together again with Fogerty the answer was 'Only in Valhalla, and even thats not likely "

Has anyone else here ever seen the actual film footage of that concert where Axel Rose's onstage tantrum and assault of an audience member started a major riot ? freakin incredible. The whole place went total bedlam with the audience waging war on the band. They actually tore the chairs loose and used them for material to throw at the stage. At one point someone from security got the idea to get water hoses and use them against the audience, which just totally inflamed the people to yet another level . The dvd ive got of this concert has footage that was shot by people onstage from the perspective of being in the position of those who were under attack. Its total crazy seeing all the objects flying through the air coming right at the people doing the filming !! The whole stage was piled many feet deep with the various debri that was thrown. I think the band was very , very lucky to escape alive.

You pale in comparison to Kanye Dino. Your taste in music never ceases to amaze me. I do beleive Kanye is a homeboy here since his mothers funeral was in OKC. Not sure about his bio but from all I have seen of him his ego is only exceeded by his self image. Again I quote my wise old grandfather. "Anybody that has to tell you how good they are probably ain't worth a **##."

I'll break it down to a sports analagy. Say it on the field. Show it on the stage. If you are worthy of adolation it will be shown to you. Just because your willing to say your great or going to be considered great doesn't mean you are.

There is a local guy here that is a legend in his own mind. He will tell you about his gift as long as you will listen. That doesn't make him great. If I thought he was the greatest act in the city that wouldn't make him great either.
The reality is the only thing he is good at is talking about himself.

I'll give you Prince is a talent and one weird dude. But prince showed us what he had before he be cam egocentric. Kanye is arrogant but from what I've seen his talent is all talk  and no substance.

I think you are missing that these artists are never off stage in 2008.   Every moment is onstage, its not like years ago, when backstage existed, and no one saw it, but we see backstage everywhere.

kanye west actually said he was the voice of this generation of this decade.  he has proven it is possible to do both.  you can make shitty music and speak incoherently at the same time.

Maybe I'll throw Elvis the pelvis under the bus...after watching the history channel on the 70s, it all came back to me what a wacko he was....he wanted to be an under cover snitch for Nixon...screamed about the Beatles and hippies being corruptive to the youth of america...he was particularly harsh on the drug element and it's culture...come on "Pelvis", you died with 10 different drugs in your system...hypocrite!!!!!
