- A sultry voice, heartwarming lyrics, and enigmatic stage presence are some of the reasons musicians gain the respect and adoration of millions of fans. It’s hard not to be enamored by talented musicians because their music can communicate a lot of varying emotions to people.
But at the end of the day, it’s best to remember that they are human beings who have flaws and make mistakes just like the rest of us.
Let's take a look at respected musicians who were actually terrible people. Who are these musicians and what are their terrible deeds?

Did any of these artists surprise you?
not really =/
LIL BO PEEP WITH A BRAND NEW B****
Surprise? No. But, when we judge anyone as "terrible", I get nervous.
Well, some of them ARE pretty well documented. I mean, it's well known Elvis WAS with her when she was 14. For some people that's pretty bad. Judging Elvis or anyone as terrible for the things they did? That's another thing. That's kind of for God to do in my eyes. It's just a sad fact that a lot of the creators of the greatest art in this world were not always very nice people.
Having a bad life, a hard upbringing, I am sure you realize does not absolve someone of bad deeds. The one thing I will say is, that as famous people, these peoples' sins are somehow magnified for some. WE are ALL the same in the eyes of the Lord though. God bless 'em all. (and us)
A comedian once said; "You know, Sinatra once saved my life in Vegas-I was getting beaten up by some people, and he came along, and said; Ok Guys, that's enough..."
Antonio Perez Hahahaha! Good one
Lol that would be one Shecky Greene....
is sinatra's family from italy?
Sinatra was a little guy with big connections
I don't get it
Paul mccartney was more of a father to julian lennon than john lennon, that's all i'm saying...
Hey jude...is for julian when they divorced as well
@Kitten Lyric That’s how some of those ‘certain’ ex-wives ‘ maneuver’ things, they use the kids.
Eh, John Lennon is an easy target, most of all because he can’t defend himself (not that he’d bother), but also because he preached “Peace and Love”, while being a FLAWED HUMAN BEING HIMSELF. People always like to pile on stuff like that, especially someone who sharply divides people’s opinions about himself like John Lennon does.
Remember that Roseanne episode when she and Jackie pick up Jenna Eflfman hitchhiking, and they discuss how AWFUL men are, especially old softies like John Lennon, who, GOD HELP HIM, once wrote a song called “Run For Your Life”, about a jealous, abusive man threatening his wife/girlfriend...
Oy, how IRONIC is it that ROSEANNE was speculating on what a shitty person John Lennon, in reality, was. What goes around, comes around.
Anyway, my point is, some people, nearly ALWAYS with an ax to grind, want to tag Lennon as a “hypocrite”, but we should ALWAYS look to see where the sour grapes are emanating from. For example, Roseanne Barr has ALWAYS been an opportunist...and who’s more of a hypocrite than she?
@@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283 Still doesn’t change the fact that Lennon was a piece of crap. Do a deep reading on him. He was a prick with a good voice
@Eric No name I absolutely LOVE that John Lennon was such a complex person. It makes those who live in a “black and white” world’s heads explode 😝 😝 😆 😂
i've noticed that fans may excuse even child molesters. it just has to be their fav band or musician.
if ur talking about mj then sorry but do some research , these guys are absloute liars
@@mariammontaser7843 exactly
who is you talking about?

@@thefishbeater4145 false, as that would be enough to arrest and charge him obviously
I have friends that have personally dealt with Steven Tyler in the past on personal and professional levels, and what is in this video about him isn't even the worst by a mile.
Tyler was a punk. Now she's a washed up would-be granny.
I'd have included John Lennon.
He sang about everyone living in peace and harmony, even as he was verbally and at times physically abusive towards his son and both of his wives.
Agreed. He was missing. A narcissist like all of these men.
He hit Cynthia *once* in the past, yes. But Yoko has denied more than once that he never hit her. The abuse in John & Yoko's relationship was there, but it was the other way around. She manipulated John and treated his family like shit, including Julian.
I agree.
He was kind of a hypocrite. So, let's just enjoy the songs for their own merit, and leave the artist out of it.
Apparently hey jude is about John Lennon's son, because Paul McCartney knew he was having it rough
Where is the story on terrible musicians who were actually really nice people?
One day, my boy. One day.

@@satellite851 Weird Al isn't a terrible musician lol
Eric Clapton? The dude wrote a whole album about being in love with his friends wife
I don't think that makes him a terrible person. There was tons of that sort of thing going on in that time frame and there was no bad blood between them.
What's wrong with that, as long as he didn't betray his friend?
He was a racist at one point (I'm black) but he really regrets it
George however, was fine with them together and was still Clapton's friend
@@ralphdavies5831 sadly most people were back then
To be fair, Keith Richard's should have known better than to touch someone else's guitar without permission.
Agreed
Im very sure he did ask permission an why not ? Will it kill the man to let him hold his guitar ? No i think the guy who punched him deserves to be jumped by 4 bodybuilders
@@mrbigs4714 a lot of time, energy, and money goes into buying and playing an instrument. It's a very personal thing, and most guitarists are very touchy about people picking up their guitars without permission.
It also doesn't make sense that Keith Richards would have gotten permission to pick the guitar up and then be punched for doing the very thing he had permission to do. So yeah, Keith probably earned that one.
guitaristxcore violence isn’t okay unless someone is physically or mentally hurting you . But a punch to the mouth because someone touching your things that’s what a 13 year old does not a grown ass man he should’ve acted like a grown up
@@breejames6323 It's not someone's "Thing" so much as a part of that person, that's the key distinction.
Trust me, I believe in that “ do not meet your idols” concept.
Sometimes it can be confusing , and heartbreaking. Or enlightening.
Who knows? They are people like us, they’re not cartoons. They’re not always happy. Or sad. Or rude. Or polite.
You love their art and sometimes worship and follow someone who really doesn’t want to be the leader of anything, just write songs. They are people.
I still wanna meet Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day. I've had vivid dreams of shaking his hand and I hear he's a really chill dude.
I met Stevie Wright I still treasure the moment
Never heard a bad story about Paul McCartney, though
You can impress the world, but true success is when you are revered and respected by those who are the closest to you.
Read a story about Johnny Paycheck, he was gonna play a party for the Hells Angels once but got so drunk before the show he couldnt perform. So the Angels hired him again, but this time George Christi sent two angels to his hotel room and wouldn't let him drink or leave. He performed the next night sober.
Johnny Paycheck also abandoned his two young daughters. They live as adults now in a small town in California.
"They live as adults now..." I laughed. Did they have other options than to be adults?
ok, abusive is awful, but why and how does "anti-establishment" count as a character flaw for Brian Jones? that's not a flaw for a rock star it's a prerequisite.
Affected Area I honestly cannot go anywhere without hearing mega--hostility against people who are normal! Just like you and me they have a family of coworkers and family members. Constantly together, on the road, perfect in g the mostly--written-by-them music that entertains generations of the world! When was the last time you entertained even your neighborhood. Of course they drank some. And quarraled (SP) . I would not be surprised if they smoked something. But, wtf??? Get over it!!! This all reminds me of Dirty Laundry. Yeah. Well, I am a long-term fan of this American Band.And. thank them for every note written, every song sung. Til hell freeze s over, and then some! Keep em comin is all I have to say. A billion of us love them!!!!! ❤ America. ❤ The Eagles. A 72 yr old wife, mother, grammies,and great gram, too. Free speech and all, consider why you said what you did.

NEVER let "talent" blind you to what lies beneath the surface of human beings. Whether it be musicians, artists, actors, preachers, scientists or just about any other profession where a person stands heads & shoulders above his peers. This is a trap that many people get caught up in. Love & admire the talent, but always know, we all have a dark side. Unfortunately, some more than others. In the end, it will all come out in the wash; whether posthumously, or while you're still walking & talking. Oh, and BTW, let's NOT forget the antics of some talented, but quite horrible women.
You hit the nail on the head with that comment. Humanity has always had a sense of duality to it. I have violent temper problems and addiction problems, myself, but I also like to crack jokes in front of people.
This whole thing with fame and fortune quite takes a tole on ALL of us,.
Yeah they are all just people people have affairs use drugs etc. I don't know why they get a pass and get put on a pedestal just cause they have some money. Lots of people are different at work than at home too so a public image compared to behind closed doors is different that can go the other way too though someone accused of being really wild might be quiet and introverted and smeared in the press when the public does not care about the truth. Lots of swingers in that life too so people sleeping around in the 60s especially was not uncommon.
Human nature in most human beings is self absorption and selfish destruction of anything in their path
A good friend of mine was the piano player for Paychecks band for a while. He quit playing music for a living because of all the nonsense he had to put up with. He ended up as a parking lot attendant..
I agree with the comments, where was Ike. Also, where was Rape Kelly on this list?
It said respected musicians that's not r kelly haha
@@jacoblayton811 fair enough lol
Lol..hey, what do get when cross a rapper....a pedophile rapist...and a pirate? Aaaaaarrrrr Kelly.
R Kelly is being constantly vilified to deflect from a sexual criminology that's rampant in elite white society.
@@DarnellHendeason-dk3uw That's real talk. Elvis is the king of banging underage girls, but they don't want to make too big a deal out of that bit of info.
Imagine even before someone's career, they did something horrible to you and you can never forgive them, only for them to age and turn into a star, that people love and praise, thinking who they admir will always be a good person.
It’s not so different from all us normal not famous people
If adultery is so very very terrible, why isn’t John Lennon on this list?
And the other Beatles too, to be honest
Anna The Nord in that case add every rock star ever
pretty much every 60s/70s musician did it. the members of the who did it, the members of queen did it. hell, i dont even know the kinks that well but i wouldnt be surprised if i found out they cheated. singling out cash despite the fact that a lot of other rockstars cheated way more than he did was kind of...eh.
And Eric Clapton
Honestly, the adultry is whatever, but Lennon was a shit person aside from that. He was a confessed woman beater.
Johnny cash is in this list as 'horrible person', but not Ike Turner?
Yeah, and Johnny Cash even changed, he became a Christian and pretty much straightened himself out afterwards
Yea i've heard about him he was a bad apple.
Ike turner isn't worth mentioning because he wasn't talented
I guess certain ones aren't really musicians.Eg:Kanye, Nikki manaj etc..
@@davidadaway8495 ,Ike and Tina were huge.Ike was a very accomplished musician and song writer. secondhandsongs.com/artist/10264/works But he beat Tina,she would beat him back,but yeah he was a prick.Where's Rick James?
As much as I love John Lennon he probably should be on this list
Yeah he should be. He abused his first wife and his kids and cheated . He didn't believe in God and was a huge jerk in real life , according to those who met John.
And also his mistress was Yoko.
@@brucewallace1600 i agree but not believing in god doesn't make you a bad person
@@brucewallace1600 most people don't believe in God. What's your point?
@@brucewallace1600 hey Jerkface how would you feel if you were an abusive father and husband and cheater
The difference is that he admitted all his flaws openly
Sinatra acted that way because he was protected by the Mafia.
I'd love to see him alive today and see him get his ass handed to him.
That's true
@@rockhaze well hes not so stfu i wish i wasnt sick but that is ridiculous thinking
I read he had bipolar disorder.
@@RandomDudeOne So had Pete Dual but he didn't act like that!
Man, I’m related to June Carter.
I had no idea about Johnny’s woman troubles, but one thing I can say is that the musical talent is still in the blood. A majority of my family on my dads side were all involved in music. (Look up the carter brothers- my father is one of them.)
I still take on the musical genes, I write and sing, just not country.
I should probably learn more about who Im related to lmao.
Why isn't John Lennon on this list? He was a wife-beater and was quite cruel and abusive as well towards his son Julian. The stories about John are quite disturbing.
I came here expecting him!
John Lennon is Leftists' darling. That's why :-)

@Justin Tyme Productions it's a matter of opinion i guess;it is legal in some countries for sure and for me it is less vile if the guy is also 16.But if we're talking about men in their 20s,why would they want to be shagging young GIRLS that age? my guess is because aside from clearly having a predilection,they want subservient females.
@Reginald Marshall it certainly IS,that POS Elvis should've been jailed.I know people who love him and gloss over his poor behaviour..the same people who denigrate "drug addicts"...they can't really explain when i ask them why is his drug addiction any different? he was a peddo drug addict who became obese but they gloss over these facts.
This is the 2nd Grunge vid on this topic, again I'm very surprised that Ike Turner isn't on this list!!
YES! Ike Turner is one I didn't instantly think of, but he FOR SURE belongs on this list!
Most definitely. He almost killed Tina Turner more than once.
Another one that I can think of is Puff Daddy (or Diddy, whatever he wants to call himself this decade).
Now to be fair, neither Biggie Smalls or Tupac were good people, either. But I'm under the firm impression that both of them were murdered under arrangements made my Puff Daddy. The rap and R&B genre is held up by a huge web of extortion and murder for hire schemes. Frankly, I'm surprised that Dr. Dre hasn't tried to do the same to Eminem after all of these years. He and Snoop Dogg are among the worst human beings alive in the entire music industry.
Much Gratitude for sharing.
Sanatra was more feared then loved , by those who knew him. Power holds hands with evil.

Frank Sinatra used to hang out with the likes of Vito Genovese and Lucky Luciano... What do you expect?
I understand that he had help from the Mob to get into show business. I believe he started out as a singer, but he wanted to get into acting. The information I read Sinatra tracked down and begged the director of "From Here to Eternity" to star in the film. He won an Oscar and Golden Globe for best supporting actor.
I do find it amazing that people are shocked when they hear that people are.......people. NO ONE is all good or all bad. Human beings don't work that way. Human beings are WAAAAAYYY more complicated than just a simple generalization.
A wife beater trying to justify his actions...
You gotta admit that Keith Richards starting a rebellion in elementary school is fucking bad ass
Rare is a big musician, actor, celebrity, etc. that HASN’T cheated. If you were famous and literally had thousands of people throwing themselves at you when you had grown up dirt poor with nothing, you’d pbly do the same thing.

Country Outlaws weren't outlaws because they did drugs. They were outlaws because they played they wanted to play and fought the system that was the Nashville Country producers and labels.
Also cause they sang about outlaws i their music and they were genuinely bad ass

They were outlaws because someone made that all up as a marketing term. They weren't going around calling themselves that.
Waylon Jennings sang about it saying "this outlaw shit" has gotten out of hand.

Dean Martin was always waaay cooler than Sinatra
Dean had issues too. Turns out, no one is perfect. We all have issues.

How about Ike Turner and Phil Spector? Talented, but not the nicest of people.

Ike was just making sure that bitch "got in that booth to sing the damn song"
Phil Spector was a piece of shit who had no talent except for creating his Wall of Sludge.
Alan Brando someone needs to go to school
Phil Spector changed the recording industry forever.He was a god in the recording studio,Married Ronnie of The Ronettes.But he was always off,he held the Ramones at gun point when the were discussing making an album together.But he fucked up.

People aren't black and white as being entirely good or entirely horrible, even primarily-bad people in history have good traits and vice versa. And also most celebrities aren't as good people as most people make them out to be actually be. They still make choices, and on top of that have PLENTY of power and wealth which adds to a sense of invincibility. I'm not defending choices they've made but on the other hand you shouldn't expect them to be pure role models or angels because they're celebrities.
Elvis and Johnny Cash were WONDERFUL people
anyone else find it strange on rappers/ hip-hop artists made this list.I guess they are all nice, clean living people after all.
I kind of assumed it was meant to be "musician's who surprise you with their conduct"
They aren't musicians.
It said talented and respected..no rappers on that list sorry
@@aryaxz2255 I will disagree with what you said about my generation's music and I will not criticise your music since being a teenager in the era of rock n roll, I know what it was like to have the older people criticise our generation's music. Our music is not terrible and neither is yours. Your music is different and you have different taste to what a man my age would have. I do miss the days when I had hair Laughing Out Loud
(Also I really struggle with this sort of technology please can you tell me how to do those laughing faces, like the ones with tears. My grandaughter doesn't tell me how to use this)
Most rappers are just an act. But also is sad that some of them are recognized Even more for being dicks and have an assholish attitude. Tekashi 69 for example is in jail right now after a shitload of problems that includes rapping a minor. He's snitching his old gang partners in an effort to reduce his time. He already get a 10 million deal for once he's out and You must bet that he will brag about being in Prison in future songs. So being the piece of shit he is in public i see no use of being nice privately.
I don't know anyone worse than Rick James. This list is tame compared to him.
As well as James Brown

It's even worse that some people have ideologies that were common and accepted at the time that they had that ideology

I played bass for Paycheck and he was a great guy. Big big heart,big big voice.
David Crosby when he was in the Byrds. He bullied Gene Clark to no end.
Penda, Scourge of the Christians He was a prick to everyone in that band and also to Stills and Nash. No wonder Nash eventually disowned him.
Now that his name is brought up it reminds of something I read just recently, him shrugging & being disrespectful when Van Halen passed. A so what tweet or something, I'm old, cant remember but anyway Crosby showing that he's an asshole.
He’s a fat loser. Always was.
The Brian Jones claptrap is 50 years of spin - he was kicked out of HIS band for drug use....didn't kick Keith out for his excessive use of smack,did they? Brian's " anti-establishment " stance was in fact,his articulate & intelligent questioning ( he had an IQ 135) of post- 1950s rules & beliefs. Re the violent temper- what Anita Pallenberg failed to say in her interview was that she also used to hit him,well documented. She was a head taller than him and he was incredibly frail. And Anita's affair with Keith didn't start in Morocco,he moved into Brian's flat months prior,to hang around Anita,he spoke about the looks they gave each other when Brian went to bed. Then dumped him with double pneumonia,in hospital in France,on his Birthday,while they started their affair in Spain. Incidentally,Sir Galahad Keith was banned from Alitalia airlines for thumping Anita in the plane toilet. Didn't mention that either. Many of Brian's ex partners ( including his kids mothers) still have only good things to say about him,irrespective of his flaws.
Glad Anita is gone she also is the one who destroyed Brian
Max 820-I agree with the drug thing. What a bunch of hypocrites. They've done so much dope over the years it's a wonder any of them made it past 40! To kick him out of the band he formed for doing the very same things they do is ridiculous.
Anita was rated at 2-watt by URL.
Brian was murdered. dId his bandmates give a shit? Or Anita and the rest of the 2-watt platoon. Fuck 'em!
Max 820 Keith did a lotta smack, no doubt, but while doing a lotta smack he was also able to function and contribute to the music of the Stones in his usual way. He was able write, play and perform at the Keith Richards level, despite his personal lifestyle of hard drugs and booze. I dig Brian, but he was obviously unable to burn the candle at both ends, and balance his lifestyle w/ his band responsibilities. He could barely get through recording sessions because he was so zonked out, so he was sacked...and rightly so.
And just because Anita may have given a Brian thump - frail or not - doesn't make it cool if he gave her a thump, as well. And also - so what if Brian's ex-partners and their kids and mothers had good things to say about him? That was the good Brian. What does that have to do w/ the temperamental Brian who was fucked up on drugs? I'm sure he was mainly a decent bloke, and from some things I've read, he was. But he was a decent bloke w/ a fiery streak who got ruined by drugs.
Frank Zappa sometimes got the rap for being a bad guy but he was a workaholic and like a Whopper sandwich he was paying and just wanted things his way. He was a genius and like many of that ilk he came off as arrogant. While he certainly wasn’t a people person and just wanted his material done perfectly.
The 2020 documentary “Zappa” is a great place for anyone to start.
BTW, on tour he would stay at a different hotel than the band because he disposed drug use and didn’t want to be part of all night parties.
His passion was his work and he put all else well below his art.
After seeing Tyler on Rogan, touting autobiography, I learned about the Holcomb fire, and about the role of the mysterious roadie, "Ray."

@@jamiehoward6505 No, that would probably go to Michael Jackson. Without Quincy Jones, he was just a kid with a high voice, some dance moves and a lot of serious issues.
I love the happy, upbeat music you put behind these monsters.
I liked Johnny paycheck it's ashame how he was broke when he died in a nursing home George Jones paid for his funeral and George Jones is buried about 20 feet away from him
Their communication skills
were great in music, but not
in life.
Johnny Cash was a bad guy most his life, but he ended up right in the end.
W K gotta get good with "god" I suppose.
is that a bad thing
He had a difficult life and alot of it started when after his little brother got pulled into a sawmill when he was young. Some people have different walks and make alot of mistakes before realizing what's causing that and then later on correct themselves.
A lot of people look up to stars thinking they are great, but in reality a lot of them are troubled souls. They turned to music as an escape and it made them stars.
Not to mention that the music industry culture practically encourages huge problems.
Baloney, Your premise is they are troubled souls and turned to music. BS, these are talented people they didn't "turn to music" as an escape. You are an idiot.
Free Soul btw...try and raise your intelligence level a little bit, to where you can disagree with someone and debate something without name calling. It shows you're a dumbass when all you can do is name call! I'm name calling because you started it. I could debate you all night long politely, without ever cursing. I'm tired of know it al keyboard warriors who would shit their pants if they were face to face with some of the people they called terrible names!
And I do believe that's a company lose so many of them to the 27 Club some younger some a little older. I often notice how they are creative in more ways than just musically as well some are fabulous painters writers photographers Etc

Thank you. Steven is such a piece of shit.
Julia Holcomb's story leaves out some parts, like when Tyler associate Ray Tabano came to the apartment Tyler left her in with no money or food. After some phone calls Tyler finally sent his buddy Tabano over ostensibly to take her grocery shopping but then finds herself "suddenly" in the midst of a on going fire in the apartment and nearly dying of smoke inhalation what happened prior is anybody's guess but being smart enough to put 2&2 together says something worse than any Harvey Weinstein.
You put Johnny Cash and Richard Wagner on here instead of Gary Glitter, John Lennon, or Phil Spector? This list is shit.
oilersridersbluejays: The only one that surprised me was "Mr. One-Hit Wonder" Johnny Paycheck. One could hardly say he was a respected musician. And Phil Spector was a record producer, not a musician.
Actually Johnny Paycheck was a great bass and guitar player. He played bass in George Jones' band before he went out on his own. So yeah he was a musician
John Lennon?
He didn't really love peace. It was a bullshit act.
He was noted for beating his first wife.
Interesting list. But where's Trent Reznor? You know... the guy who fired Jerome Dillon (Nine Inch Nails' drummer), because Dillon had the audacity to have a heart attack live on stage? If that ain't terrible. Oh wait, I've just noted the "respected" caveat. Nevermind. ;)
Where Johnny Cash is concerned this is a misleading, one-sided misrepresentation of the man. He had his struggles/demons, he was open about them and fought them all his life. His first wife Vivian did have it very hard due to his drug addiction and associated behaviors, and she was obviously angry at June, which is to be expected even if not completely fair - however, based on everything that has been written about Johnny Cash, their marriage was in trouble before June came along - they probably would have grown apart and divorced even without the drugs and June, because when Johnny’s career developed and he evolved into a traveling superstar musician Vivian had difficulty with this lifestyle, did not understand what it entailed and really wanted a husband with a more normal 9 to 5 stay-at-home existence, while Johnny was drawn to pursue his music - their expectations and personal ambitions were ultimately incompatible. The reality was Vivian and Johnny were married very young, too young, and while they loved each other they did not really know or understand each other when they married. Many people with multiple kids, grow apart for various reasons and divorce, and then remarry all the time - Johnny Cash was human and he made mistakes - he was not the first or last person to fall in love with someone else and go through a divorce - let those of us who are without sin throw the first stone. Johnny took care of Vivian and his daughters financially over the years (Vivian did not have to work to support herself financially and her new husband lived a good lifestyle because of Johnny’s financial support). Johnny also willingly acknowledged that he had not been a good husband and father when he was married to Vivian and worked hard to make it up to his daughters in the following years, which they have acknowledged. Despite his issues, his close friends, all his children and his family have all said he was a good, loving humble man and he was very loved by them - it is for them to forgive him which they all did based on what they all have said - it is not for us, his fans, to judge as we were not there. Despite all the struggles (and there were also many stated good times as well) June stuck by Johnny during the dark times over the years, which helped him survive these times, and their love for each other survived and grew stronger and lasted until they died - Johnny and June obviously found their soulmate in each other - many of us are not so lucky. Many, many people have stated that Johnny Cash helped them and others in their time of need throughout his lifetime and he was a huge humanitarian. He was not an evil, terrible man by any stretch of the imagination but a good “human” man who believed strongly in God and in redemption, and who did the best he could with the life and the musical gifts he was given, and the world is better place for it/him as we will always have his music and amazing performances to listen to and enjoy forever.
Just like John Lennon. Struggled with personal demons, straightened up in the end. Even wrote about it in Paul's "Getting Better" song ...
Johnny was a secret Devil worshiper......
💘✊
You said that better than I'd be able to.
Good for you.
When will we stop judging others?
First time visiting this channel...and the last.
@@antientdude1100 you are a liar Johnny was a Christian even was on Billy Graham crusades
Cash most certainly had a troubled past, when he first came on the scene he was addicted to drugs and alcohol and made some horrible decisions, but by the 70s and 80s that man turned completely around. He was a great dude, and an amazing example of how someone can turn their life around and find redemption. The fact that people act as though forgiveness can't exist and demonized someone for their entire existence just because of choices they made when they were younger is insane.
So you knew him out of the public eye? Ok
Not sure but just guessing his son might have known him better then we did. Just a guess mind you
Oh good
"drugs and alcohol"
Oh dear
@@NEELZE99 are you trying to insinuate that drug and alcohol addiction is no big deal, or that Cash’s issues went well beyond that? Because I can’t speak to Cash’s personal life, but I have seen many lives ruined by drugs and alcohol.
"You'll never make it" -johnny cash's 1st wife
"Give it up Dewey!"
She sure was fugly.
Kai Kai which movie?
@@jerryweber1768 No way.
This list should be a top 100, and you can add Billy Corgan to that list, the ultimate 90s grunge douchebag
I don’t like some of these, Johnny cash came around to defeat his addiction and died married to June, I get the things that some people do aren’t ok but it’s better to look at the whole life story than just the bad
Also, being a horrible husband or boyfriend is shitty, but not compared to murder and attempted murder or pedophilia in my opinion. J Cash could still be a very good person, just a really bad significant other.
S B no he was actually good later in life, just a rough story, she got him on the straight and narrow, died faithful and happy together
What people don't realize is with a lot of these men that dated young girls is that laws and common practice were a lot different back then. I'm not saying it makes it right but even jerry Lee lewis married his 2nd cousin who was a teenager
lets not forget that these dumb ass 14yos wanted them as well.....make it out to be a one way street why don't you.....like these sluts didn't through themselves.....on yes they didn't know any better.....bullshit
No it was still illegal and frowned upon. Jimmy Page hid it for a reason
It's all good if you ask her mom according to Roy Moore's Lawyer. Love the clip on MSNBC were he implies that since Ali Velshi is middle Easter then they are cool since they both like to abuse young girls and boys. Ruhle m.th-cam.com/video/sez_TPYwn0M/w-d-xo.html comes in to bash the lawyer.
And there are still Countries today, such as Mexico and Canada, where the things they are guilty of are still ok.
once a year, that time of the year comes around where hillbillies get to rut around like the low bred livestock they are... a time where they are accepted, and celebrated for their "hills have" eyes, cleft pallets, and extra appendages are celebrated and not rejected, resulting in a very high reproduction rate-- the family reunion.
Johnny Cash was not a terrible person. Unlike many, he wanted and tried to do the right thing. Being a rock star is something most aren't prepared for, and the things they do often help them deal with it. He wasn't terrible - just got himself addicted and didn't have the right tools around him to get him out of trouble. Eventually he wised up.
Well said, this was a shocking attack on Johnny. He had his troubles, but who hasn't. He was on good terms with all his children when he died so they couldn't have found him that terrible. He was a great humanitarian and a very decent, empathic person. This is a total hatchet job rom some idiot not fit to lace Johnny's boots.
Just a typical cash grab really. Most youtube video makers have nothing valid whatsoever to talk about so they make up these shitty lists like there's no tomorrow.
Sir John Hammond With a lot of regrets
Did you just call a country singer a rock star? You're a fucking moron.
Private Joker For your information we shall call him whatever we want. Ok
Country music legend George Jones could have right up there near the top of the list. I never much cared for his music, but his autobiography was a pretty entertaining read.
The drummer for the Mothers of Invention would lure pot buyers to his ranch in Arizona and rip them off. A real class act.
Sinatra once broke his fianceé's nose when she went to tell him something during a card game. Others there were appalled, and hard to bring her, covered in blood, to hospital. He never apologised, and couldn't see why even his friends were appalled. Even in his late 1970s on a visit to Ireland he was notorious. People in his hotel were terrified of him. He was obnoxious to the then Irish president and his wife when she mentioned she liked a song of his he hated. His own management disowned his behaviour and forced him to apologise. (That first lady was also rather unpleasant to everyone, so it was joked that it was the first time ever that people found themselves feeling sorry for her! Sinatra had achieved the almost impossible, and out obnoxious-ed her!)
He did tell Mia Farrow he would have Woody Allen murdered for her,she declined but he also treated Mia like shit too...but at least offered to have the creep killed.
@@williegoodtimes5736 Yeah, except the creep here was Sinatra himself...
Other than that he was rich and famous.
Jimmy Page had a 14 year old gf, Lori Maddox and it was quite well known.
SO WHAT? They're ready at that age...our laws are self righteous...
ShadowAngel - you're right. I was stating it milder, and quicker for commenting that Page had an underage 'girlfriend '. I read a few things about it and I saw some pictures, but I have not read Lori's account.
damn. take the flag and march that will definitely fill some excitement in your useless life.
@@josephesposito3499 You are gross. She was a child. Imagine defending this 💩!!
Where’s Ginger Baker?! The man treated everyone like crap and was one of the most difficult people to deal with in the music industry ever!
Was he actually? Damn, no wonder he went no where after Cream
WAIT, it makes sense why they broke up now 😭
I didn't know that!
Ginger was a alter boy when compared to the King of Shithouses namely Buddy Rich dudes.
Thank God we now have dozens of Rap & Hip Hop artists who treat their women (and men) and all others with love and respect!!
The music is absolute trash though
indeed lmao, I like how the list was biased to men from the 20th century and we didn't see any female artists to mix it up
Delusional.
Most creative people have a screw loose.
But they don't all abuse others.
I'm inclined to agree with you on that one..lol.
Lmao I agree
How about Respected Musicians Who Were Actually Great People? Not interesting enough?
Not really.
I'd watch that
No drama always more exciting
Fact!
There aren’t any
this just shows how blind we are with the media. letting the bad live without knowing they're bad
xxxtentacion, cardi b, Chris brown, Tupac, Dahvie Vanity
I'd watch the grammys if these were the categories...
Actually I heard that Paycheck's bar fight was over a argument over what is better: deer meat or turtle.
John Lennon- "I used to be cruel to my woman and beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved."
That was a Paul song.
@@larryodie its back an forth pauls possitive outlook to johns negitive
@@gamblinggator3177 But Paul sang that part, remember.
You've got to admit it got better -- after the Fab Four became rich.
Well, if you ever get around to writing and playing some music, and then you can be judged, and according to your lyrics.
Just because someone said they were abused by a celebrity doesn’t make it true.
Just because a celebrity says it didn't happen doesn't make THAT true either. You act like famous people won't lie to protect their own image. Yeah right..
And this is exactly how many get away with it. Listening to idiotic statements like yours. Smdh.
@@candacecasey5634 but again just because a normal person says something doesn't mean it's true no one should be believed over someone else until the proven to have done that, words are words and mean nothing it goes both ways but your partially right
Great video 👍
Well interesting anyway
Ike Turner??????
Before Chris Brown there was Ike.
He was the kind of person who makes me hope there is a hell!
Exactly!
@Nill Gddy Yes, it fits in the current television landscape of stigmatizing white males.
He’s already known to the public so what’s your point? This is a about people you didn’t know.
Who cares anymore .Most of these people are dead anyway. Nothing shocks me ..no one is perfect. Musicians, Movie stars, Sports People, Politicians, Writers, Painters, Doctors ..all fields ...human beings make mistakes. I liked John Cash and his music. I still listen to people who were jerks and I could go on and on. Why make a big deal about it now. I don't personally think that people really care in general. But I watched the video anyway!
These examples don't seem like "mistakes." These are usually people with lots of money and leverage over others who knowingly direct repeated physical violence at others mostly because they feel they can get away with it.
Make a big deal because some of them were paedophiles. THAT is not good. And some of them were abusive too.
Those hurt by them care a LOT.
Gotta luv social media, the place to go to throw anyone under the bus. All you saints out here feeling high and mighty...
Thank you.
David Lee Roth and Ted Nugent are both horrible in person.
Toni Baird, whom I met in the 80s, was backstage at a VanHalen concert. Roth treated the women like crap, and declared, "Can you handle 10 inches? How about it, baby? Want my 10 inches?" Toni said, "Yeah, but I don't think you have anything close to 10! Show us your dick!" He stopped, look surprised, turned around, and skulked away. Some groupies there and elsewhere emphatically state that Roth has a smaller-then-average schmeckle, and is lousy in bed. He's all form, no substance.
@@robertshuping5449 "Dinky Dong David"? I wasn't aware of him having such a smaller dick. That is why I listen to more of the Sammy Hagar type of Van Halen; because I heard how big of a dick David was.
Ted Nugent is Michigan Trailer Park Trash.
The younger Johnny Paycheck to me looks like Jim Carrey playing Johnny Paycheck.
100% agree
Brad K hahaha I thought the same thing
J. Pay looks like Rickety Cricket from Sunny.
No, Jim Carrey looks like George Jones
Thanks for pointing out all the terrible people past and present LOL I give you points for posting that
I'm going to give Frank Sinatra props. for opening a lot of doors in Vegas that were shut to African American artists. Having one of his homes designed by a Black architect and having his best and Grammy Award winning albums created by Quincy Jones.
Sinatra was a known racist though.
Unlike the other Stones, Brian was from swanky Cheltenham, not greater London, and came from an upper Middle-Class background. He was highly intelligent and took Firsts on three of his A-Levels (bio, chem, physics) which would have put him on target for Oxbridge but for his delinquent adolescence. At sixteen he knocked-up his first (of what would be a total of six) woman. So he ran away to London.
Brian Jones was actually the founder of the Rolling Stones, came up with the name (after a Muddy Waters song), and he himself went by the name Elmo Jones. I believe he met Jagger at this London blues club were he was performing with (I think) Ian Stewart, and Jagger said "I have this mate who can play every Chuck Berry riff!" I think Stu, who was both considerably older and was basically a jazz-blues pianist, brought in Bill (also older) and Charlie. Thus, the original Stones, who performed African-American R&B covers in small clubs, which was exactly what Brian and Stu had envisioned.
However shortly afterward the act was caught by an American huckster/hustler and aspiring producer, Andrew Loog Oldham, who was looking to find the next Beatles. He recognized Jagger's charisma and once in charge made Mick the frontman, thus starting the long decline of Brian. Stu was also out -- from live performances at least -- because he looked too old. Oldham marketed the Stones as the anti-Beatles (would you let your daughter date a Rolling Stone?) Oldham also appreciated that the real money was in song-writing for which Mick and Keith had a knack which Brian lacked.
Jones was a prodigious instrumental autodidact, and this versatility influenced a lot of the Glimmers' songwriting in the '65-67 period. He picked up a sitar for the first time and a day later recorded Paint It Black, which infuriated George Harrison who had just spent months in India studying it under Ravi Shankar. The recorder on Ruby Tuesday, the accordion on Backstreet Girl, the marima on Out Of Time, etc. all Brian.
By '68 however Brian was so damaged he wasn't much good for anything (see Jean-Luc Godard's documentary about the recording of Sympathy For the Devil, 1+1). His last significant contribution was the beautiful slide work on No Expectations.
Great comment, though tragic. The London blues club you mentioned is The Ealing Club.
@@Paul07791 Andrew Loog Oldham is not an American. His mother was English, his father was an American airman who was killed in WWII. Oldham was born and raised in England.
No Phil Spector?!
He wasn't a musician he was a record producer
@@theresa-annsymes4149 Google up the "Teddy Bears" doing a medley of their hit "To know him is to love him" That little guy on the right strumming his guitar is Phil Spector. It's not the "Wall of Sound" but I guess you have to call him a musician for that.
How funny days before seein this comment I had thought of Phil! How weird.
@@theresa-annsymes4149 he was a very accomplished musician, he wrote a lot of classic motown tracks actually!
My three favorite people who play guitar are very different from my three favorite guitarists. My top three people who play guitar are Kirk Hammett, Jimi Hendrix, and John Petrucci. All of them are so chill, and they have every right to be arrogant jerks. But they aren't.
