Top 5 Rockers Bringing Cocky Back

October 8, 2008 6:00 pm     Posted in Buzz  Rob - UPENN g+ page

Being a celebrity no doubt makes otherwise normal people completely effing insane. All those flashbulbs, all that attention, adoring fans throwing themselves at your feet (and towards your bed)…it’s no wonder so many famous people have egos to the size of their bank accounts.


By Rob

Ego and rock’n'roll usually go hand in hand, but there are certain artists who defy expectations in the douchebag department. Certain rockers who just can’t keep their mouths shut — whether there’s a stage mic or a report’s mic in front of them. Certain dudes who make our top 5 Cockiest Rocker Dbags.

5) Noel Gallagher

Remember this douche? Yah. Not many people do. For some reason Oasis is still making music, but the only thing we ever heard when we looked at them were the words “ugly” and “all-our-songs-sound-the-same“

4) Gene Simmons

A few months ago, Simmons recorded a sex tape that made just about everyone I know puke up their lunch. Sure, KISS was a good band, but saying things like “every other band should be wiping my ass” is just pure Dbag material — especially if you look like your face is made of wax that’s melting.

3) Little Richard

Little Richard and his tiny moustache made some good music in his day, but you wouldn’t exactly consider him “the architect of rock ‘n’ roll,” would you? The architect of tacky sequined jackets? Sure! The architect of upper lip hair? Yup! Well, it doesn’t matter what you’d consider, because Little Richard knows.

2) Kanye

No lie, Kanye knows music — or at least his kind of music. He’s got a certain genre pretty much covered, but that doesn’t mean that he’s the most popular rocker of all time. I mean, if he was, my mom would know who he is…and I’m pretty sure if I said Kanye to to my mom, she’d asked if that was a type of take-out I can only get in NYC.

1) John Lennon

He has to be #1. Because he tried to take on Jesus. And look…you just don’t take on Jesus. I mean, can you walk on water, buddy? I don’t think so. That guy is totally in the popular clique of the Cosmos.

Any other rocker Dbags we should know about?

    Yeah, c'mon… let's not take shots at the deceased… Okay, maybe that was a little tactless, but you get the picture. After all, Lennon did publicly apologize for his "Jesus" comment. Let it be. :)

    lennon is legitimately better than jesus.

    lennon only has one serial killer under his belt. jesus has at least a bajillion (estimated figure.)

    "you wouldn’t exactly consider him “the architect of rock ‘n’ roll,” would you?"

    Uh, you would consider him as one of 'em if you know your music history. Who else would you suggest?

    Though, Kanye West is on this list of "rockers," so it's not like the research department outdid itself on this one.

    both Lennon and Noel Gallagher are/were geniuses, the music they made was by far better than the music of any modern musician… and i must say that both were so famous that they have every right to be douchs

    The person who wrote this "article" is like all the people constantly calling other people "dumbasses", who in fact are themselves the biggest dumbasses. This person labelling other people as douchebags is himself the big douchebag.__And your bullshit about Lennon is just bogus. He never tried to "take on Jesus". He merely stated that the Beatles were a bigger thing in 1966 in the lives of the average teenager than religion was. __Go whine about what a douchebag you think Charles Darwin was, and how dinosaurs are fake.

    kanye being in the list pretty much sums up what a douche/Dbag the writer is instead.

Tell us what you're thinking...
