Steven Adler, whose heavy drug use led to mental slowness, was kicked out of Guns N' Roses.

Are these the guys who can't even appear to be sober in interviews? Tommy Skeoch is one of them.

Obvious choice, but Bobby Blotzer has to be near the top of this list. The guy’s a potato brain. I’ve never seen anyone with such a knack for saying exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time exactly every time.

Isn’t Blas from Slaughter kind of a moron?

I met him once, and he didn’t seem too bright….but it was a short interaction.

I don't think Blobster is even close to the top. Sure, he's delusional miserable fucking waste of human being in many ways and annoying af. But mentally challenged like Steven Adler, fuck no.

I know people bag on Thayer for his giant melon, but looking at this photo, Ace isn't lacking in the fivehead department either.

Of the two, Bach "wins". He actually thinks he's smart, which only adds an extra layer of stupid. Tommy Lee seems to know he's just a big dumb goof, at least.

Gotta be Mitch Malloy and Craig Goldy. I met both at NAMM. Malloy was asking about gear in my booth and just wasn’t picking up what I was laying down. All blond hair and bright white teeth. He’s gotta in the “dull” IQ range.

Goldy was lost at the show and I helped him and his past-her-prime girl figure out where they were going. He was nice enough, but it was like talking to a kid.

A few questionable inclusions on this list…

Nikki Sixx isn’t dumb by any stretch. Not a great person, but definitely not dumb.

Mick Mars? I don’t think he’s ever come across as dumb. Just weird and quiet and not a great father.

Ted Nugent? Says outrageous stuff but not a dumb person.

I remember watching an interview with Jack Russell during the Twice Shy era. He said he was so loyal to his fans, he would choose them over his own parents.

Not sure if that makes him the dumbest guy in rock, but it's definitely one of the dumbest things I've ever heard a rock star say.

It's like, dude, those fans barely stuck with you through the next album.

Van Halen Brothers
Paul Dianno
Brian Robertson
Race Frehley definitely, and to compound it he thinks he’s a legitimate genius because he took some sort of IQ test in the 70s and got a high score

He is. I tried following his social media and it made my head explode. Complete idiot.

That too, but his rant about colorful cartoon dinosaurs and the "yuppies" who came up with that idea in The Dirt is one of the dumbest things I ever heard a rock star say. Even dumber is that he approved it for publishing.

Also, isn't he five times divorced? Not the sign of a very smart rich rock star, that must have cost him a lot.
