An example of this is Kanye West who puts out great music but acts like the biggest jackass of all time, making it hard to like him.
Another one for me is A Day to Remember. I absolutely love their music but they f*** over the fans repeatedly. Their 1st CD later was remastered (and some tracks rerecorded entirely) and put back out. Then both CDs they put out after had special editions with bonus tracks and DVDs put out within 6 months of the CD's release, making the fans buy the same album repeatedly. They have a new one coming out next week and I'm not falling for it this time, downloading the CD (something I pretty much never do for artists that I am a fan of) and waiting to buy the special edition later so I don't get screwed yet again. I know that it's probably the label and not them doing it but it still pisses me off like crazy when this keeps happening for literally everything that they put out.

System of a Down and Coheed. Musically, I LOVE both of them....just cant stand either lead singer. I've said numerous times if SOAD had a differant lead singer, they'd prolly be my favorite band.

Phil Anselmo- Lead singer of my favorite band of all time, very passionate about the songs he sings. Also one of the biggest ass hats in music. Would show up stoned out of his minded to shows to the point of not being able to perform and just being an all around dickhead. However, seems he is trying to get cleaned up and seems remorseful about what he said about Dimebag and Vinny.

I love Serj Tankian, myself. Maybe not love, but I like Radiohead's music. It's a shame their ego is the size of a freaking blimp.

Axl Rose - He has a good voice and he can write good songs. But good god he got the ego size of Texas and would attack fans and just basically being a jackass.

Kings of Leon.
Hate virtually their entire catalogue, but I'll be damned if they don't make for interesting interviews and quotes.

Unpredictable, unreliable jackass.

Eric Johnson.
The man is know as one of the most talented guitarists and has created some beautiful albums. Unfortunately he's also a perfectionist who's thrown out at least one entire album, after it was completed, due to it not being perfect/satisfactory enough for his taste. I just find it to be a shame when talented artists throw away works of art before the fans get a chance to hear them.
Stephen Stills also did something similar to this. Only it was with razor blades.

Huh, I was gonna say Axl Rose, too. So instead I'll say James and Lars from Metallica: they created some great music back in the day, but they turned into complete jackasses as their careers went on. (and that is only partially in reference to the whole Napster thing, which is a whole different argument for a different day.)

For someone soooo concerned about his money that he'd sue people for downloading his music illegally. The fact he walked into Activision and asked for a free copy of Guitar Hero 3 proves the giant level of ego the guy has.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney: These guys were/are amazing talents, and while I don't believe that overall neither of them are bad men, they have both done and said incredibly stupid things in the past that makes me grit my teeth with rage.

But as I said, Bono agrees with you. He's aware he has a massive ego, and has made fun of himself several times.

I'll flip it around and say Katy Perry.
I'd LOVE to do her. I HATE every song I've heard of hers.
