Don't judge me. I thought it would be an interesting idea for a topic. Plus, there are plenty of douchebags to choose from. And variety is the spice of life. What metal musician do you think is the biggest douchebag and why? I'd have to go with Chuck Billy from Testament. He went to high school with my uncle, pushed him down, and stole his pizza. My uncle went home hungry and bruised that day. Thank God for living in the Bay area.

LMAO!

He doesn't sound like a douchebag, he sounds funny!

Chuck stole pizza from your uncle?

I'm dead serious. My uncle is a lucky bastard. I would be honored to get pushed by someone as amazing as Chuck.

Maybe your Uncle fucked his sister. He deserved it.

Who hasn't fucked Chuck Billy's sister?

You make a very good point.

I have to ask Chuck if he remembers. Chuck is generally a douchebag to a lot of people, so it's not a surprise.

Chuck Billy? As a metal personality today he seems cool. In the past, I guess he wasn't?

Dave Mustaine gets my vote, though.

Dave is factually a douche, even today. It's bullshit that he can be so cool on special occasions and then be a total dick face the next minute. Ask any band that has toured with him what kind of a prick he is. It's no wonder people don't stay in his band.

I like how a guy starts a topic titled "biggest douchebags in metal" and then immediately says "don't judge me". Irony rules.

I didn't even notice that before. You're right.

I never denied the fact I'm a complete and utter douche. In fact I love douches so much, I felt the need to make this.

Lol'd at OPs story. I love the bay area so much. People there seem much more "light-hearted" then in other places.

Mustaine has always struck me as a douche. Although the story of him kicking Hetfield's dog makes me laugh everytime I think of it.

Yeah, I got a laugh out of that.

VoD, so what's that conversation going to be like? "Hey, uhm...I have this acquaintance on a metal board on the internet...and he says you, uh, pushed his uncle in high school...yeah..."

Hmmm.

I'm going for the members of Queensryche. For creating American Soldier really.

Oh, I almost forgot. He's not still alive, but if we're talking of all-time, the biggest douchebag in metal goes to El Duche from The Mentors. Here's a video of him making fun of a rape victim on Jerry Springer. (He pretended to be a political pro-rape activist to gain shock value for his band.)

It's funny that he died by getting hit by a train.

I thought that was pretty shocking but also very funny.

"I was raped when I was 13. Gang raped!"

"...well you have to start sometime."

Thread is going swimmingly.

Um, Lars Ulrich.

seth putnam

Not metal. In this world or the next.

Dave Mustaine is, of course, metal's classic douchebag, but I also nominate his old foes in Metallica for the title of douchebag.

Flo Mournier deserves mention as well.

Upsidedown Cross is on the Archives. I think Putnam is fair game.

Girlschool, maybe? I don't know, they might have the biggest douchebags in metal... either them or Trivium.

Forgive my ignorance, but what douchebaggy things have Girlschool done?

Not Metal, but Axl Rose is a big douche.

I'm real curious, too. Girlschool I always thought was pretty cool, but maybe I missed something.

No one cares about him anyways.

I'm pretty sure there was a "douchebag bands" thread in the tavern if anyone can find it.

I think MorbidSepulDeath's post was a joke, with Girlschool being comprised of well, girls, they would naturally have douchebags. And Trivium too.

"..well you look kinda familiar.."

rofl, that guy is a comedian.

Flo? What did he do?

Although i happen to like Shining, i think Kvarforth is a complete and utter douche.

Not surprised about Mustaine. Great Musician but a big douchebag indeed.

I hear the lead singer of Disturbed is a big one, makes fun of his fans apparently.

And why do you think so?

I'm glad nobody has mentioned Varg Vikernes yet. Because that man was my idol

Yeah, insulting all your fans because they didn't like your latest record is a rather douchey thing to do.

Yep. A stand up guy.

Well not in the newer interviews... but in this interview he comes off as douchy to me.

He's off his meds there probably.
