biggest bad-ass in the music world?

Marion 'SUGE' Knight.

lol word.

He hasn't been convicted of murder....But you can bet he has carried out a few in his time.

I dunno if he qualifies for this poll though cos he's just a CEO. But yeah he'd be close to being the biggest badass of all time. Most people are genuinely scared of him.

Great sig btw.

If he hasn't personally pulled the trigger he's probably given orders to in the past.

GG Allin was just a sicko. He was a racist, violent, drunk punk rocker, known for pissing on stage and throwing his feces at the audience.

Henry Rollins is a bad ass too, particularly in his Black Flag days.

Sid Vicious - he was a drugged up idiot

Sid wasn't a bad-ass, he was just a taletless f*ck up, and they're a dime a dozen in the music business!

How about Ghaal from Gorgoroth? He's been in jail a few times for assault. In fact, I think he's residing in the big house right now.

In the wake of the notoriety surrounding the church burnings, and finally the murder of Mayhem's leader Euronymous in 1993, Vikernes faced a trial and was sentenced to 21 years in prison (the sentence has recently been reduced to 18 years). Not allowed to have a guitar in his cell, and proclaiming all rock/metal-based music to be culturally alien and non-Aryan in origin, he chose to continue Burzum in a keyboard-based, neoclassical/pagan ambient vein for the two albums that followed.

In October 2003 Vikernes escaped from jail. After hijacking a car and apparently driving around with no clear plan. Vikernes with automatic weapons in his possession was apprehended by the police.

Saying that, he doesn't wear a bullet proof jacket or smoke crack. ;-)

I think we have our winner.
