70s prog rockers Jethro Tull.
How about "70s flute rock band" Jethro Tull?
I like Jethro Tull, but what I found ridiculous is that I wouldn't consider them hard rock or heavy metal.

True. No one has ever figured that one out. Lars Ulrich made a crack about it at the Grammy's the next year.

Lars Ulrich is one to joke. Like the choice of Jethro Tull over Metallica for a grammy all those years ago, Lars Ulrich and his entire band have become a laughable parody of their former selves. My favorite new names for Metallica: Mulletica and Lawsuitica. They haven't made a decent record since 1986 and the fact that they bothered to carry on without Cliff Burton is one of the greediest and most ridiculous moves in music. Don't make me bring up St. Anger, which might be one of the worst and worst sounding records ever made on a major label budget. The drums sound super flat, like a child's paper kit, the bass sound is highly reminiscent of Korn (especially for a band that pretty much cut the low end out of ...And Justice For All) and the lyrics are horridly funny (ex: "I'm madly in anger with you.") Are you kidding me!!??? Seriously???? How did Hetfield write that and not think "yeah this is pretty much shit"?

It probably does cost a lot of money to make Lars Ulrich's drum kit sound like he bought it at Wal-Mart.

When Journey's Steve Perry went solo, he had a minor hit with the song "Oh Sherrie." In the video for the song, he had a model portray "Sherrie," being quoted that his real girlfriend who the song was about was not pretty enough to be in the video. What kind of asshole does this???

I'm sure he was thinking of we the viewers, for which I say thank you.

Are you sure about that? I always heard that that was his actual girlfriend in the video, but they had broken up just before the song was released.

I'm pretty sure the girl in the video is, in fact, Sherrie. I'm pretty sure that ericg75 is right about them being broken up when the video was made, though, so maybe his new girlfriend wasn't pretty enough. I'm pretty sure this was on an episode of "Pop Up Video" I saw.
Steve Perry's a big pot of ugly. He's got a lot of room to take shots at people's looks.

Ugly or not, Perry was the man back in '84. I can't imagine he was dating anyone who was not insanely hot. Rock stars and hot chicks go together like milk and cookies.

Check THESE out! Can't believe I hadn't brought this stuff up yet. PCP is apparently a helluva drug.
This:
Big Lurch (born Antron Singleton c. 1975, in Fort Worth, TX, although some sources say Compton, California) is a rap artist currently serving a life sentence for murdering 21 year old female acquaintance Tynisha Ysais and eating parts of her body in April 2002 while under the influence of PCP.
During his music career, Singleton worked with such Bay Area rappers as Too Short, Mac Dre, RBL Posse, C-Bo, E-40, and New Orleans based Mystikal.
In April 2002, Singleton murdered Tynisha Ysais in her apartment while under the influence of PCP. Her boyfriend Thomas Moore testified that he and Singleton spent the evening prior to the murder smoking PCP, also known as Angel Dust.
The victim was found in her apartment by her friend Alisa Allen. Her chest had been torn open and a three-inch blade was found broken off in her shoulder blade. Teeth marks were found on her face and lungs, which had been torn from her chest. Eyewitnesses reported that when Singleton was picked up by police, he was naked in the middle of the street, covered in blood and staring at the sky. A medical examination performed shortly after his capture found human flesh in his stomach which was not his own.
On November 7, 2003, he was sentenced to life in prison. [1] He had been convicted of murder and aggravated mayhem the previous June after pleading not guilty by reason of insanity at the time of the murder. The court ruled that his intoxication and plea of insanity were not satisfactory reasons for committing the crime.
AND This:
Houston Summers IV (born on October 26, 1983), professionally known as Houston, is an American R&B singer best known for the hit single "I Like That". Houston grew up in Los Angeles, California and performed on the streets with his friends who rapped, his niche was he sang freestyle lyrics since he discovered he had a real knack for it. [1].
Summers comes from a very devout Christian background, and his family was open in their disdain for his choice to do "secular" music. His mother, LaTylanol Houston, had forbade him as a child to partake in rap or any other music that wasn't affiliated with God. He was reportedly dealing with emotional troubles and it came to a head one night in early 2005 while he was on tour in London. Before a show, Summers suffered an emotional breakdown and reportedly tried to commit suicide by jumping from a window, while under the influence of PCP[citation needed]. When people in his entourage stopped him, he was restrained and locked in a first floor room. While in that room, Summers then proceeded to gouge his left eye out in a fit of rage.
After 10 years together, Eddie Van Halen fires original Van Halen singer David Lee Roth to replace him with Sammy Hagar. After roughly another 10 years, Hagar is fired and replaced by Extreme's Gary Cherone. After one lousy album, Cherone is let go, only to be replaced a few years later by Roth, who records two new songs with the band only to be re-fired and re-replaced by Hagar, who himself is then re-fired. Recently Eddie Van Halen fired original bassist Michael Anthony (How did he make it so long?) to replace him with his 15 yr old son, Wolfgang. Apparently the band will start touring again with...you guessed it...David Lee Roth (who is either a glutton for punishment, or really has nothing better to do).

So when does Gary Cherone get another call up?
I suppose another worst is any time an athlete has made an album (don't think that's been mentioned). Shaq, A.I., Ron Artest and sadly, etc.

Holy dammit Christmas! Gouging his eye out... that is messed up.
Actually, both of them are pretty horrendous. Wow.
------ Aren't there any girls out their who like good music? I need to and want to meet them. My favorite bands are Overkill River, The Nife, Songs:Ohio, and Nuetral Milk Hotel. Please let me know if your into indy music and like to go to show's and drink beer's and makeout.
I guess Houston is going to have to try and make a career with an eyepatch. Reminds me of that kid from Immature or IMX as they later became. I always wondered if his was real or if he just wore it for effect.....
