Of the main ones spoken of here, Vince Neil. But really, all of Motley Crue are pieces of shit.

Steve Dawson ex-Saxon and Varg Vikernes must be near the top of the list.
Honorable mention for Ozzy who assaulted his wife and Don Costa, pissed on the Alamo and killed animals in public without going to jail.

Have heard a lot of negatives over the years aboutg Dana Strum. What about Obi Steinman? Tried to screw Jani Lane's heirs?

Jack Russell should probably be on the list for numerous crimes and reasons.
Rob Halford if the Jani Lane story is true.
I think overall Motley as a band.

They may indeed top the list of biggest scumbag hair bands. Then again, if they weren't so famous we may not known a lot of those stories. I bet there were plenty of lowlifes in C and D list bands too.

Ray Gillan assuming the rumors about bareback banging after the AIDS diagnosis are true (all I have ever seen are rumors and conjecture) and it's not even close.
Do not believe the Halford rumors. I think someone just hey Halford is the most obvious gay in the metalsphere so it's gotta be him. I know a lot of gay people and the ones you gotta worry about are the ostensibly straight dudes who get a bit of booze in them and start testing you. You know, kinda like what I have heard about Anselmo.

Ray Gillan it has to be.
Didn’t his actions cause his bands label to completely attempt to eradicate their catalog?
I can’t recall if that’s ever happened before.

Another vote for Ray Gillen.
If that is true, he’s worse than all of Motley combined.

I recall there was some serious accusations against Johnny Rod . Too lazy to look right now though. He always seemed like a coked out maniac.

John Phillips? Gary Glitter? Tim Lambesis?
All three of them are complete scumbag cunts, no doubt about it.
I still enjoy listening to the Mamas and the Papas and I think Phillips was a great songwriter, but he seems to have been a rotten human being.
A few of the others mentioned fall more in the "asshole" category, in my opinion.
Anyway, great call on those three to open the thread.

Seems like he's a sex offender. Someone on a WASP reddit mentioned something about him being involved with a 12 year old but I can't find any source on that.

That's what I thought, I can't really think of anyone in the hair band scene that comes close to those guys. Just being an asshole of a human being is still in a different league than planning to murder your wife or being a child molester. Of the people mentioned here only Ray Gillen may come close to that.

Ian Watkins the singer from the Lostprophets. What that dude did was beyond disgusting and he deserves the death penalty.

Sid Vicious.
Somehow the world has elevated this marginally talent asshat to legendary status. Based on what?
His horrible behavior on stage and off.
So he strangled a cat to death, then went on to stab his girlfriend to death. What a shock.
