True, but most of those were younger people with dead end jobs anyway. No-one would give up a "proper" career for it, at least I don't think so.

I think one MJ fan put it quite well on TV when she likened turning up to support him (not having given up her job or anything) to how people travel abroad and great lengths to support thier favourite sports team. How many people take holidays to go to the Olympic Games or the World Cup? Loads! And they're for entertainment purposes - nothing actually serious.

I am sorry but some of Wilson and Alroy's reviews are weird. I don't even think they are good as a guide for a newbie.

A tie between the Beatles and MJ.

Michael Jackson wins hands down for the most crazy ass fans. People in the front row of a concert falling out and fainting and then the audience members pick their body up and pass it around. People crying and screaming at the mere sight of him way up on a hotel balcony. And the trial had the absolute craziest of his fans. One crazy ass school teacher quit her job to stand outside the trial. She got a little bullshit job in California to support herself while she was there.

Kiss has some crazy ass fans also. These people wear the Kiss makeup on their faces when they go to concerts. Hell, just be yourself!

Prince has some crazy ass fans too. I never knew it until I got the internet but he does. Everyone I know personally who is a Prince fan will tell you that Prince has made several fuck ups in his career. When I got the internet, I ran into fans that think every little single thing Prince ever done is great and will argue you down if you mention one little fuck up that Prince made. Then they will say it's our fault if we don't like it and not Prince's. They love to say we don't "get it". Hell, we are individuals just like Prince and we are entitled not to like what we don't like. Yes, Prince has a right to put out whatever he wants to put out but we also have a right to bitch about it if we don't like it. I like to talk about "Parade" just to rattle some of their cages.

This site is one that contains some of the most level headed and sane Prince fans. Prince has done so many types of music in the course of his career and has so many different types of fans ranging from black to white, old to young, American to European, gay to straight, etc. With these many different types of people on one site, there are going to be those with different tastes and opinions. If we all sat up in agreement all the time, we would be as crazy as the "fams" on the other Prince sites. We're not afraid to point out what we personally consider as Prince's flaws here.

and they buy loads of useless and worthless junk. How many Finale tours is there gonna be.

Elvis--you get these fat fucks and trailer trash people, with several chins, and old whipped cream on their flys, singin' Love Me Tender--I mean, shreding Love Me Tender--drunk off their asses, with cheap beer, the kind with the blue ribbon.

Michael Jackson--Child molester apologists. Most of these fans are in Europe, which really bugs me. You would think Europe would be hip to him by now. Europe is pretty lenient about child sex.

Most Metal Bands--I like the music, but those head banging goons make me ill. Blue collar cockroaches, swilling beer, making the devil horns, using the term 'faggot' as mush as they use the term, 'bitchen.' They all drive these old El Camino's and their sounds systems have this shitty bass overdrive--like monnkeys fucking a washboard. They have unwashed long hair and still think leather jackets in the summer makes sense. Morons. Slayer and Mettalica fans are the worst.

The Greatful Dead--The Sixties are over, idiots, get the lice comb and some fucking taste. Hippie culture is one thing, but fake hippies are the worst.

That sounds like some of these rednecks in my area. They love those damned El Caminos. That has got to be one of the ugliest cars around. They look like a cross between a station wagon and a pickup truck.

vainandy said:

Exactly. Basically, if P was to around here, he would find that we're not kisseres (especially you and I) on this site and we're realist and that I'm sure he can respect.

vainandy said:

They have their dead girlfriends in the backs of those El Caminos.

You know he hired Jesse Johnson on the spot when he asked Prince if he was influenced by Jimi Hendrix. Prince told him he never heard of him and Jesse told Prince he was a damned lie because he had all of Jimi's moves.

I think Prince can respect people that will not kiss his ass and tell him what they really think. However, if he finds out they have real talent and can become a threat to him, then he will get rid of them.

Or the ones they used to slap around.

They usually have some trashy girl sitting in the front seat slid right dead up under their ass while they are driving with the passenger seat empty.

And I can respect that point too. He has some crazy fans here but it is the differences that make us cool. Thanks for pointing that out to me Vain and Legs

There's nothing abnormal about taking a holiday to go to the Olympic Games or the World Cup. In my opinion there is something abnormal about quiting your job to watch MJ wave to you every morning and afternoon for two seconds, every weekday, for three months, in support of him at a child molestation trial when all the facts hadn't come out yet.

Actually there was VERY little that came out at trial that I didn't already know. It was all in the court motions already.

And who quit their job? The weirdos did but most of the people who went weren't there every day and were just there for 3 days at a time or something. I understand people supporting the same person who they've grown up on and supported for 20+ years than some random sport stars with 10 year careers maximum for the sake of personal entertainment.

Then the terrorists have won.

Madonna's fans are some of the most god awful people u can find!

Boybands have the most obsessive fans, they are almost all pre-teen and female, and they can scream very very loud.

I can say this because I have successfully come through to the other side of this phase without too much damage, but seriously, theyve GOTTA be the worst!!

The screaming and the obession!!! If you dont believe me wait til you have daughters.....

I can't believe some of the answers on here!

People are scared of Prince & MJ fans - you wusses!
Some of you are scared by Kylie's fans because they're bitchy? Oh no, scared they'll diss your outfit?


No way! I go to a lot of gigs and by the far the worst crowd, and I'm amazed no-one has mentioned this yet, is Oasis.

Now, I'm not commenting on Oasis here but on the followers. The day of their big Manchester gigs this year, I have never seen so many ugly twats, thugs and dodgy bastards in one place. Forget the day of a Man U vs Man City game, the atmospher in the city was terrible by 3pm. Every bar was filled with agressive, ugly, chavs.

ICP fans hands down.
I have a few friends who were barely 13 when they got into ICP.

Their music is so retarded...since when is committing suicide hilarious?
