for me it has to be tom arnold who is only famous because of rosanne.we were at the planet hollywood in vegas and these girls next to us were having a birthday party and wanted a picture of that idiot with the birthday girl and he would'nt take 2 secs to pose for a pic with that girl.we all started doggin him and throwin food at him as he went off to the vip section.what a TOOL!!! not to mention a wannabe.he got paid bigtime when he divorced that rosanne.loser,loser, and did I say what a loser!
I said it in another forum, but I'll repeat it here. My band opened up for Night Ranger here in Atlanta in '99. I was so stoked because I was a huge Brad Gillis fan. Not because of his Night Ranger stuff, but because of his Ozzy work. Jack Blades was really really cool, but Brad finally showed up and wouldn't give us the time of day. Wouldn't talk to us, or anything. My wife tried to get his autograph and he snubbed her too. I thought that was pretty pathetic considering most of the 300+ crowd we brought in. It wasn't like the good old 80's where Night Ranger was a bigger band. People who lose their sense of where they came from, and that at one time they were just another fan too amaze me.
Alec Salmon i think, who was SNP member i think>
I met him on school trip to his home town and i knew his face and i asked him i know u from somewhere and he was bein a dick about it lol
Then someone told me and i was ah well fuckin politicians
George Lynch at the Dallas Guitar Show this year. What a total dickhead. He put on a horrible performance live (after being late due to plane delays) and then he was going to sign autographs at the Peavey booth. He was more concerned about catching his flight out and making sure one of the lakeys got his jacket packed for him than talking to the short line of fans that were waiting patiently to get his autograph. What a tool!
I can't really say this was mine but 2 years ago an aquaintnence of mine met Kiss (Gene/Paul/Ace/Peter) after a show they did for one of thier reunion tours. Gene Simmons turned out to be the biggest a**hole of all. He hit on every woman that was there even if they were with thier husbands or boyfriends. The guy I know has a tatoo of the "Rock'n'Roll Over" cover on his arm and Gene Simmons made fun of it. To top it all off when Gene entered the room. My friend and his buddy walked up and asked for an autograph and Gene told them "Hold on there, I'll around the room to everybody." Now I can understand that he didn't want everyone rushing him fine but when he finally got to them he hit on one of the guy's girlfriend and made fun of the other guy's tatoo. When he signed his autograph he smeared all over what he was signing and on top of that almost walked off with the pen. Now that sucks. Kiss used to talk about Rock and Roll like it's a religion but man after the fame and fortune I guess it doesn't matter. Mide you I must say the rest of the group were great and very friendly. Peter was the friendliest.
I went to go meet one of my fav. gutiar players Bruce Kulick of KISS who is a bad ass guitar player but anyway it was at the KISS convention and he was there to sign and he played KISS songs which he's living off the past. So when he's done playing all the kids and stuff are going up there to talk to him and it kinda seemed he didnt want to be bothered so i walked off and waited at the table and he was talking to his assistant which he talked to all night rather the fans and he said "I'm trying to get my stuff and I have people BOTHERING me!!" Like i couldnt hear now keep in mind he was almost killed a bullet scraped his temple and he's alive and his fans BOTHER him after surviving a bullet you should be more grateful. He signed my stuff (all his KISS albums) but when i was complimenting him on his work in KISS he was like " mm hmm m hmm you said No , No ,No (one of my fav. solos) yeah " NOT EVEN A THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTS!! But he was nice about talking about gear but shortened it up to blow me off. [img]images/smilies/chucks.gif[/img] THAT MADE ME MAD !!!!
Ritchie Blackmore , cause i aint ever got to see him after a gig , he leaves the arena whilst the band are still playing , twat ! , he was never good to his fans , i still love the guy tho , maybe he thought it was good for his image , been a cunt .

I played for Gillis in his immediately post-Nightranger attempt called "Mega Mega" (his mom named the band). My observation was that Gillis was quite personable when he he wanted something, like coke, weed or chicks. This isn't unusual in people, and especially not with has-beens. You saw him with Nightranger; I'm assuming it was the re-formed version, with Jack and Kelly et al? Understand that Bradley was low-man on the totem pole in that band. He was the last to join and the band was basically Jack's baby. There was a constant struggle on Brad's part to get more writing credits, since publishing royalties constitute pretty-much the bulk of the revenues; Jack, of course, receives far and away the lion's share in that department. He also is something of a control-freak and calls the majority of the shots in most other aspects of the band. I can only surmise that, when you approached Bradley, you not only had nothing he wanted at the time, but he was also in a bad space due to being, virtually, in Jack's employ at the time and thus in a quasi-subservient role. Of course, none of these are excuses for blowing off fans, especially when you're in the twilight of what's been a somewhat meager career. BTW, last I heard, Gillis was playing with SF Bay Area power metal band Vicious Rumors. Ever hear of them? I'm just sayin'...

Tony Stewart. He may be a good race car driver but in the personable category, he's an asshole. I was at Indy last year for Chevy Day. He was in the media center for something and when he came out, he signed one autograph and there were about 20 of us standing there. This woman asked him kinda loudly about something from the previous race in Chicago and he just retorted "I'M RIGHT HERE LADY, I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE!" His handler brushed everyone away and got in the golf cart and drove off. I still admire what he does on the race track but after that display, i doubt I wanna meet him.
