About a month ago, indie band We Are Scientists decided to have some "fun" with us on Twitter, taking our tweets and altering them to read something completely wrong, then retweeting them out into the world. "What jerks," we thought. "What did we ever do to them?" But the whole incident got us to thinking about other musical meanies ... and there are many! After taking a vote amongst the editors of AOL Music, we compiled a slideshow of the top 10 biggest jerks in music, from the rapper who spat on two hotel employees, to the singer who destroyed a dressing room because he didn't like an interview question. Click below to view our picks and see if you agree!

I have to agree with wookie8622. Not only is this poor and lazy journalism, but there is a noticeable air of cowardice to it, as well. There was nothing wrong with Dave Mustaine defending his right to bear arms, even if by violence, if it ever came to that. Many Americans feel as he does. We'd better be ready to fight for our rights, if it ever came to that. Were the American Revolutionists "over the top" when they fought for our rights? As the great Alan Moore wrote in V for Vendetta, "People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." Granted, there are whacko gun nuts out there who get their kicks by random acts of violence, but Mustaine was talking about defending his right to own a gun. When did we become a nation of spineless, politically correct wimps?

Dave Mustaine gets the number 2 spot because you disagree with his politics? How about Axl Rose for showing up 2 hours late to his shows, then threatening to cancel after a few songs because something was thrown on stage, firing almost every member of his band after Chinese Democracy, and snubbing his former bandmates by refusing to share a stage with them at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction? How about Donita Sparks from L7 for throwing a used feminine hygeine product into the audience? El Duce from The Mentors for his pro-rape lyrics? Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13 year old cousin? ODB from Wu Tang Clan for fathering countless children out of wedlock, skipping out on child support payments, and collecting Welfare while being a member of one of the most successful hip hop groups in the world? Do a little research. This is just poor and lazy journalism.
