I remember My Chemical Romance and The Used were early critics of the way other Warped Tour bands would behave around fans, especially underage ones, and nobody listened. They weren't allowed to call out bands or artists by name, but were notorious for warning the audience during their sets to stay away from certain people and tents.

[venomousnate]

You have to feel bad for the regular people named Chris Brown who have the same name with two terrible human beings.

[GrayveRoseMusic]

In case anyone's curious, Stapp's been clean for about 6 years and is doing great. He turned his life around and turned his past issues into art with his new music.

[pktrekgirl]

The best thing that can be said about Axl Rose and Scott Stapp is that thanks to the two of them having ‘Crazy’ set to 11 for years, we got Alter Bridge and a side order of Miles Kennedy singing with Slash.

[drummerdude]

It’s heartbreaking to see what happened to Travis Meeks. Another sad case of hard drugs destroying someone’s life. There’s a mugshot from his most recent arrest, and he looks completely unrecognizable in it. Kids, don’t do meth or heroin. It’s not worth it.

[abraspitz]

It's worth noting that Scott Stapp was diagnosed as bipolar and most of those "episodes" were before he was medicated. I've seen him on tour a few times over the years and he still puts on a killer show.

[afterglow-podcast]

Queensryche - Geoff Tate. Surprised this one wasn't on the list. Spit on drummer mid set, disparaged the crowd at Rocklahoma, kicked out of the band and decided the best option was to sue the band while at the same time release his own Queensryche album with him and a bunch of hired guns while the rights to the band name were still being argued in court.

[SavoxYT]

Called it on that certain Welsh band not being mentioned on here. I talked about them in my "Evil Musicians" vid and I've had thousands of comments saying said band's lead singer is probably the most evil musician of them all.

[bink]

Just a side note: Travis Meeks was diagnosed with Asperger's when he was very young, which may explain why he has a history of being difficult to communicate with. Same with Craig Nicholls from The Vines, who had to break up the band because he couldn't handle the rigors of touring.

[direcircumstances]

My love and respect for MCR only continues to grow as time marches on and they still have no disgusting allegations against them, unlike so many of their Warped Tour peers.

[APTapes]

I will always love the fact that Trapt's lead singer was called out (repeatedly) by the lead guys of Dropkick Murphys. Reason number 10, 835 why we don't deserve them.

[JCLopez]

I'm honestly shocked that Fred Durst isn't in here for well being Fred Durst lol

[robjgolde]

The Brand New situation was absolutely wild at the time and makes me sad looking back on it. They were one of my favorite bands but I’m not shocked at the allegations given some of the lyrical content of their first 2 albums. But at the time of the allegations, they had just released their first album in 8 years completely out of the blue and it was possibly their best work, then the allegations dropped and they completely vanished after 1 half-ass statement from Jesse and dead silence from the rest of the band.

[ELSTERLING]

I saw 30 Seconds/Leto at a festival some years back and the amount of stage management of the crowd and the built in PR moments made what was a weak set deeply unpopular with the majority of attendees. Amongst other things they straight up hired people to throw inflatable toys in to the crowd to make it look like everyone was having spontaneous zany fun and Leto stopped the set for five minutes to _post selfies to twitter._ I was hanging back in the crowd for that set and beyond the first few rows and the die-hards the sentiment was less 'we love you, Jared' and more 'GET ON WITH IT YOU POSTURING DOUCHEBAG.'

[scottfire]

Scott Stapp was diagnosed as bi polar in 2015 which he said was a relief because it explained so much. I believe he has been clean ever since.

[Mr.Crowley]

I’m surprised that Liam Gallagher isn’t on this list — his own brother doesn’t speak to him — who wrote all of the Oasis songs and had the talent — hasn’t spoken to him in decades. Noel hated that his brother would constantly throw tantrums and be too drunk to perform at shows, which to Noel was u forgivable as he respects the loyal Mancunians who have supported them for years. To quote Noel, “Liam is a fork in a world of soup”

[quentinbringthenumetalchil]

It’s sad because most of these bands have some good material in their catalogue. Too bad a lead singer’s ego has to tarnish the entire band’s work and legacy.

[TheRareVideosXL]

Thirty Seconds To Mars' is a sad story.The band had great potential.Jared Leto...ugh.
