DUMB & DUMBER ... Who are the Dumbest musicians in rock n' roll?
I am at a loss for words... as to how dumb some guys are in this business.
I don't consider myself a genius or a scholar, but for the love of Grade School... how the F#@k did some of these clowns make it this far in life?
Ready, Set, Sludge!

Re: DUMB & DUMBER ... Who are the Dumbest musicians in rock n' roll?
Off the top of my head…
Michael Sweet (never heard his music, just know he’s really fucking dumb)
Aaron Lewis
David Ellefson
Ace (163 IQ my ass, subtract 60 from that and you’re in the ballpark)
Jon Cooper (from the band Skillet, again, never heard his music, just know from rock media that he’s an incredibly stupid person)
Mick Mars tries to act way smarter than he actually is.
Don’t know their music but neither Jack Russell nor Don Dokken strike me as particularly bright.
Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Eric Clapton are people with intelligence who nevertheless choose to be some of the dumbest fucking people alive.

If it’s true about Ace it’s also equally true that alcoholism doesn’t discriminate.

I have to say, from even being in bands through my teenage years, the brightest bulbs on the planet are not in rock/metal. In general, it's not a great area for geniuses. I know there are some outliers, but there are a lot of peeps with uneducated backgrounds - Especially for those musicians who reached stardom at a young age. It's like that with child actors and retired atheletes, as well. No one ever paid them to be smart and "know stuff".

Everyone in early WASP not named Lawless or Riley... Randy Piper, Tony Richards, Johnny Rod and Chris Holmes may have an average IQ.. if added together.
Mick "purple dinosaurs" Mars is also a grade A dumbass... and Tommy and Vince are likely not much smarter....or just very uneducated.
Everyone in Pantera seemed pretty stupid, not sure how much was due to drugs and alcohol. See also Ozzy.

The list of smart musicians would probably be shorter!
Even a musical genius like Michael Jackson was an idiot. I watched the We are the World special last night. The dude hums the music...doesn't play a note. He stands 6 feet away from everyone. Doesn't take his sunglasses off. Has a monkey and/or a snake with him at all times. And we know what allegedly happened later in his life.
Sebastian Bach is notoriously dumb but he's amusing and entertaining.

JB Frank of Kingdom Come. And I did't even know who he was until I read the James Kottak thread.

Uhh the thread is about who is DUMB. A simple glance at the thread title and CEO’s post will confirm that for you. I made a distinction between who’s straight up dumb and who’s intelligent but chooses to be dumb.
But, ok, let’s do it your way.
…so which of these goons are intelligent in your opinion? Michael Sweet? David Ellefson? This should be good

There is definitely something wrong in Vinnie Vincent’s head.

Re: DUMB & DUMBER ... Who are the Dumbest musicians in rock n' roll?
Vinnie sure has problems but low IQ isn't one of them.
I suspect the opposite, that he was at least on Gene and Paul's level and they didn't know how to handle him. They were used to have dumbasses without drive in the band - Criss, Ace, Carr - and then they got someone who was a leader himself and wanted to be their equal. So they started screwing with him not expecting him to not sign contracts and walk away.
Wonder how he was in person before Kiss. Drummer Hirsh Gardner who played with him before and just after Kiss says he noticed Vinnie changed massively and for the worse when working with him in 1984 on VVI demos.

I raise you a Tommy Lee.
In his book Peter Criss did nor so much come across as dumb, but just very uneducated.

Neither is the dumbest in their respective bands IMO. I'm not even sure Criss was the dumbest DRUMMER Kiss had.El Vampiro Blanco wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 5:52 amI raise you a Tommy Lee.

Inside of the gatefold of KISS "Alive" are the four letters from the band. Peter's letter was written by his then wife, Lydia.El Vampiro Blanco wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 5:52 amI raise you a Tommy Lee.
