Bono for sure is one of them. All he is is ego and arrogance. He has no change in his voice period. Sure it is a good voice with good range but it is one tone always, every song, every album.
The guy wants to be Jim Morrison so bad it's not funny anymore.
Also he needs to make up his mind on whether he wants to be a music star or politician/ human rights/peace activist.
Always was, VERY VERY overated singer and band.
Fuck him.

He made the comment during either the White album or Let It Be sessions. I can't remember which. As ridiculous as it sounds, it wasn’t just something he blurted out either. He phoned Derek Taylor (wasn't he the Beatles publicist?) and told him to gather up as many people as possible for an EMERGENCY meeting, where he of course went on to declare he was Jesus Christ.
Maybe it was the acid talking? |

donovan. the things he says about himself in interviews are absolutely inane.
on bob dylan: "i am the more creative and influential"
you can check out a recent interview here
i think the interviewer already had some dislike for donovan before going into it, but you can still see how he talks himself up
i got to meet donovan back in june after a concert in san diego. he signed an album of mine and shook my hand i said "thanks so much" and he said "any day of the week, mate". so i really dont think he's that arrogant, necessarily, but it's all semantics

I think Lennon made the Jesus Christ quote in 66. There were Beatles record burning nights held in the South of Hicksville, USA (Wish i was there! hhahaha).
He later tried to defend it saying after recently going to India, he realised Jesus was virtually unknown (being largely a Hindu nation), yet the Beatles were very popular.
I dont know much about arrogance, but i'd definately put Jimmy Page up the top. |

Paul Motherfucking McArtney. He's so up his own arse, its a surprise he's not speaking through it, which come to think of it, he does. He is so insecure/pissed off that Lennon was the better of the Beatles, that he didn't even acknowledge him after performing a few Beatles songs at Live 8 |

In this month's Q Magazine there is a wonderful and poignant article about John Lennon's final days alive on this orb .
Paul wrote a lovely letter to Q Magazine ( displayed on one of the pages ) on why he still loves John .
The letter brought tears to Young Joey's eyes .
" MACCA FACTS
Age: 63. Born June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, England.
Fast Fact: Between his work with the Beatles and as a solo artist and leader of Wings, McCartney has written or co-written more than 50 Top Ten singles.
By the numbers: When combined with the Beatles' 49 Top 40 U.S. singles, it is a matter of statistical fact that Paul McCartney is the most successful pop-music composer ever and the second greatest hitmaker, behind Elvis Presley."

No, no, no, no. Lennon allegedly made these remarks at a meeting at the Apple offices in 1969, when the Beatles were trying to sort through all their business problems and sitting through countless long, boring meetings. He called everyone together to make the proclamation that he may, indeed, be Jesus Christ. This, at least, according to the controversial Lennon biography, 'The Lives of John Lennon.'
While the story is hilarious, I'd take it with a grain of salt, considering the source. The author of the book, Albert Goldman, is notorious for cruciying his subjects with abject lies. He could make Mother Teresa look like a skank ho. The book has been disavowed by nearly everyone who knew Lennon. (Also says Lennon gave Brian Epstein a hand job back in the early 60s). |

The remark he made was at a press conference. It's in jus about every doco on the band. It was 66, which means it was during or about the same time, as their last U.S. tour. I've seen the footage. It was 100% pre-Pepper. |

No..the 'we're bigger than Jesus' remark is a different quote entirely (it wasnt made at a press conference but in a 1966 UK newspaper interview...it was completely ignored for several months until a few religious nutcases got hold of it and twisted it to suit their own agenda). He DID make a half arsed apology for it in a press conference on the '66 tour, though
The "I am Jesus Christ" remark was, as said above, supposedly made at a band meeting a few years later. I dont think Goldman was the original source for that story, actually. |

Doesn't change the fact he's a bit of a c*nt though, i'm not saying he isn't a talented musician. Lennon was better in my humble opinion. |

re Lennon announcing he was Jesus at a meeting
the story's in Philip Norman's book Shout: The true story of the Beatles as well. It probably was the acid talking - apparently he was trying to destroy his ego by taking a lot of acid & "enlarging it to immense preportions" at the time. I'm not sure when but IIRC it was before meeting Yoko, thibk Norman's opinion was that she saved him.
I think a lot of the book was written before Lennon's death (it's only mentioned right at the begining and end - there's a mention in the notes that he was waiting on confirmation re. an interview with John when he heard. ) not sure if it was published before Goldmans.

" Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere .... "
