This topic seems a little pointless without the stories to explain why people are assholes?
Good point.
Lars Ulrich - The whole Napster scenario. Also likes Lars Ulrich a far bit.
Dave Mustaine - Got sacked from Metallica for being a drunkard, then proceeded to form a band that was better than/a poor imitation of Metallica (delete where appropriate). Also likes Dave Mustaine.
Kerry King - Listen to any of his solos and you'll understand why.
Mike Portnoy - Thought he was Dream Theater, and couldn't understand why the people who actually were Dream Theater weren't too keen on letting him take a lengthy sabbatical.
Tuomas Holopainen - Sacked Sami Vanska because he felt like it, sacked Tarja Turunen because he didn't like her husband (or because she wanted too much money, depending on what side of the argument you subscribe to), sacked Anette Olzon because she was pregnant and couldn't sing. However, the most unforgivable thing he did was then hiring Floor Jansen. Also he happens to be a very good musician.
Tarja Turunen - See above. Decided she was Nightwish, and therefore should get all the money.
Billy Joel - Doesn't really need any introduction.
Chad Kroeger - Nickelback. Nuff said.
Justin Beiber - Ruining the (not so) good name of Canadian music
Yngwie Malmsteen - Is a great guy and the best guitarist in the world, according to him
Roger Waters - Decided that Pink Floyd should not continue after leaving it. Filed lawsuits to stop them performing (hint: it didn't work).
Varg Vikernes - Burning 5 churches and then murdering someone doesn't really give black metal a good name.
Most pop 'musicians' belong on this list for crimes against music.

making an entire album dedicated to supposedly trying to get her back
Claudio Sanchez is the real winner here. Admittedly not all of the album, but you'd think he'd get over her after 5 albums.
