I was listening to an old Pearl Jam concert and poor Eddie Vedder was all kinds of discombobulated, forgetting some lyrics in seemingly every song.
But I think he's usually pretty good at remembering lyrics, but whom do you suppose is the worst in this area?

Jerry Garcia could remember all these book sized lyrics of Bob Dylan and then never be able to remember the lyrics to "So Many Roads" his own song.
also, this has gotta be Vince Neil's to take, Vince just doesnt even sing words for 90% of the songs, dudes just yelling syllables.

I think Vince knows the words, he just can't breathe to get them out. Also...me. I'm singers who constantly forget their own lyrics. There are songs that I have played live for 16 years that I still forget to this very day. I have no idea why.

I'm so not surprised that the people mentioned so far don't remember the words to their own songs. Most of them probably don't remember their own names.

Girl you know it’s- Girl you know it’s- Girl you know it’s- Well, they didn't forget the words. They forgot to use a record to lip-sync to that didn't have a scratch in it (I guess).

I have a weird respect for Nick Cave, who used to let his cue card guy stand onstage with a light on him, completely shamelessly.

I am shocked that we're this many responses in and no one has mentioned Ozzy yet.

"It's all about the game, and if you can play me, it's about the game and if you play me"-Lemmy from Motorhead "I am the Game and I like steak!" To be fair, Motörhead had nothing to do with the writing of that song, and only played it live twice, so it's really no surprise Lemmy didn't care to learn the lyrics.

James Hatfield used to forget lyrics sometimes when he was a hardcore alcoholic. In fact, on one of the Live Shit shows (forget if its Seattle or San Diego) he mixes up the entire first and second verse of Frayed Ends Of Sanity.
Also, ICP has said they forget their own lyrics all the time because they have so many songs and change up their live sets. They said they just stop rapping and let the Juggalos sing it lol.

me, i'm in a band, i'm the singer and bass player, and i forget the lyrics all the time, and i wrote them.
also, Fat Mike from NOFX is pretty well known for doing this Tim Armstrong from Rancid can't sing for shit on cd or live so it doesn't really matter what he says
and every single 80's hardcore band from the US and the UK, espcially crass, conflict, minor threat, bad brains, etc etc no chance any of you ever sung the actual lyrics you printed in your albums.
oh honorable mention to Tom Araya from Slayer who just sucks live.

I don't even remember my own code. About twice a week I'll be like "Who's the idiot that did this" and I notice it was me.
And that's with zero drugs, roadies or brain melting stds.

Ozzy could totally get away with performing while stood at a podium like a priest or a politician and making that part of the act.
