When talking about egos in music…fans would think the usual stuff…the dude from Nickelback, the guys in Oasis, and Metallica. You have to look at reality. Even if you’re a huge fan of the music artist you enjoy, you have to admit that they have an ego problem.

Here are my choices on the biggest egos in the music industry:

• U2 – A lot of people like ’em, but you have to admit, they have quite a problem. Doing all these stadium shows, talking about Africa too much, shutting out fans for a free show in Berlin by creating a wall around them, etc. Sorry Bono, you dudes top the list.
• Trent Reznor of the Nine Inch Nails – Popular band, but you can’t seem to see the fact that Trent is a huge douche. Did you realize that he just ditched all you fans by quitting live shows? He’s only 45 years old and he’s quitting live shows? Don’t worry. Trent will bring the Nine Inch Nails back to the live stage when they get an opportunity they can’t pass up.
• John Mayer – Is he a musician or a celebrity? Which is it, John?
• Jennifer Hudson – Is she getting all these opportunities because some of her family members were murdered? I used to feel sorry for her and used to like her, but I don’t care anymore.
• Joe Satriani – When he sued Coldplay accusing the band of stealing “Viva La Vida” from one of his songs, I think that gives the Satch, an ego award.
• Robert Plant – Love the guy, but he has a huge ego problem, I’ll admit that. I’ll never forget his responses everytime he shot down a Led Zeppelin tour.
• Rihanna – She’s been acting different.
• Courtney Love – Need I say more? Is she even a musician?
• Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith – Ever since Steven Tyler’s fall, these two have been acting like huge egos in the media lately. I call Joe Perry being the BIGGER ego than Steven. Geez dude, who cares if Steven is having problems with drugs or alcohol. What bands out there doesn’t have that problem? They all do. If Steven wants back in the band, let him.
• Dave Mustaine of Megadeth – Everyone talks about Metallica having a huge ego problem, but I disagree. I don’t see the boys in Metallica having an ego at all but one guy that has a huge ego is Dave Mustaine. I’ve read plenty of his interviews through Guitar World magazine and they are hilarious. He’s kind of a delusional guy living in his own world but Dave is a talented songwriter and guitar player though, I’ll give him that.
