30. Wayne Coyne on Arcade Fire
“I get really tired of their pompousness [sic]… We’ve played some shows with them and they really treat people like shit. People treat Arcade Fire like they’re the greatest thing ever and they get away with it… They have good tunes, but they’re pricks, so fuck ‘em.”

29. Christina Aguilera on Lady Gaga
“I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman.”

“A malicious guy [who] will step on anybody’s face to succeed, and cross any line of decency.”

25. Mark E Smith on Mumford & Sons
“There was this other group warming up … and they were terrible. I said, ‘Shut them cunts up!’ And they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them … I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers.”

24. Courtney Love on Dave Grohl
“As for that drummer, well, he’s hit on me so many times. He’s just a very very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he ‘hates’ me more than ‘anyone else.’ Kurt loathed HIM more than anyone else (except a journalist) … He’s just sub-mediocre kind of [guy] who does this ‘nice guy’ nonsense.”

23. Dave Grohl on Courtney Love
“She’s an ugly fucking bitch.”

22. Kathleen Hanna on Courtney Love

“They play dress-up and sit on top of an apex of meaninglessness. They don’t mean anything to anybody apart from their fucking ugly girlfriends.”

16. Alan McGee on Coldplay
“Coldplay are the dictionary definition of corporate rock. The singer is about as weird as Phil Collins. They are career rock personified. EMI should’ve signed Otis The Aadvark instead. At least he only sucks his thumb rather than corporate cock.”

15. Elvis Costello on Morrissey
“Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.”

14. Noel Gallagher on Jack White

“A little short ego-ed fucker who I had a feeling didn’t like people of his own race and wanted to be white and taller.”

12. Mark “E” Everett on The Beatles
“John Lennon sings about peace because he’s a woman-beater. Hippies are so full of shit.”

11. Richey Edwards on Slowdive
“We hate Slowdive more than we hate Hitler.”

10. Ian Brown on Bono
“He’s such a fake, isn’t he? When he did Live Aid, which made them a worldwide group … he looked out and [saw] that black girl in the middle of all them people, and she’s from Hackney or something, and he was like, ‘Here’s a great shot for me around the world to show I’m Mr Africa.’ It’s like colonialist times with a big white hat.”

9. Robert Smith on Morrissey
“If Morrissey says not to eat meat, then I’ll eat meat — that’s how much I hate Morrissey.”

1. Tupac on The Notorious BIG
All of “Hit ‘Em Up,” really, but particularly this: “I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker.”

Damn Anton!

1. How about that time back in the late 1970's when P-Funk leader George Clintion referred to Earth Wind & Fire as "Earth, Hot Air, & No Gasoline".

2. How about that time when Ice Cube dissed the remaining 4 members of NWA in the song, No Vasaline:

Got damn, I'm glad ya'll set it off.
Used to be hard, now you're just wet and soft.
First you was down with the AK,
and now I see you on a video with Michel'le?
Lookin' like straight bozos.
I saw it comin', that's why I went solo.
And kept on stompin',
when ya'll mothafuckers moved straight outta Compton.
Livin' with the whites, one big house,
and not another nigga in site.
I started off with too much cargo,
dropped four niggas now I'm makin' all the dough.
White man just rulin'.
The Niggas With Attitudes -- who ya foolin'?
Ya'll niggas just phony,
I put that on my mama and my dead homeys.
Yella Boy's on your team, so you're losin';
Ay yo Dre, stick to producin'.
Callin' me Arnold, but you Been-a-dick;
Eazy E saw your ass and went in it quick.
You got jealous when I got my own company,
but I'm a man, and ain't nobody helpin' me.
Tryin' to sound like Amerikkka's Most,
you could yell all day but you don't come close.
Cuz you know I'm the one that flown,
ya done run 100 miles, but you still got one to go.
With the L-E-N-C-H M-O-B, and ya'll disgrace the C-P-T.
Cuz you're gettin' fucked out your green by a white boy,
with no vaseline...

[Refrain]
[L.L. sample:] "Now you're gettin' done without vaseline..." [3x]
[Biz Markie sample:] "Damn, it feels good to see people...on it"

The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin',
who gives a fuck about a punk-ass villain?
You're gettin' fucked real quick,
and Eazy's dick, is smellin' like MC Ren's shit.
Tried to tell you a year ago,
but Willie D told me to let a hoe be a hoe, so
I couldn't stop you from gettin' ganked,
now let's play big-bank-take-little-bank.
Tried to dis Ice Cube, it wasn't worth it
cuz the broomstick fit your ass so perfect.
Cut my hair and I'll cut them balls,
cuz I heard you're, like, givin' up the drawers.
Gang-banged by your manager, fella,
gettin' money out your ass, like a mothafuckin' Ready Teller.
Givin' up the dollar bills,
now they got the Villain with a purse and high-heels.
So don't believe what Ren say,
cuz he's goin' out like Kunte Kinte,
but I got a whip for ya Toby;
used to be my homey, now you act like you don't know me.
It's a case of divide-and-conquer,
cuz you let a Jew break up my crew.
House nigga gotta run and hide,
yellin' Compton, but you moved to Riverside.
So don't front, MC Ren, cuz I remember when you drove a B 2-10.
Broke as a mothafuckin' joke.
Let you on the scene to back up the Verse Team.
It ain't my fault, one nigga got smart,
and they rippin' your asshole apart.
By takin' your green, oh yeah,
the Villain does get fucked with no vaseline.

[Refrain scratched]

I never have dinner with the President.
I never have dinner with the President.
I never have dinner with the President.
And when I see your ass again, I'll be hesitant.
Now I think you a snitch,
throw a house nigga in a ditch.
Half-pint bitch, fuckin' your homeboys.
You little maggot; Eazy E turned faggot.
With your manager, fella,
fuckin' MC Ren, Dr. Dre, and Yella.
But if they were smart as me,
Eazy E would be hangin' from a tree.
With no vaseline, just a match and a little bit of gasoline.
Light 'em up, burn 'em up, flame on...
till that Jheri curl is gone.
On a permanent vacation, off the Massa plantation.
Heard you both got the same bank account,
dumb nigga, what you thinkin' bout?
Get rid of that Devil real simple, put a bullet in his temple.
Cuz you can't be the Nigga 4 Life crew
with a white Jew tellin' you what to do.
Pullin' wools with your scams, now I gotta play the Silence of the Lambs.
With a midget who's a punk too,
tryin' to fuck me, but I'd rather fuck you.
Eric Wright, punk, always into somethin', gettin' fucked at night.
By Mista Shitpacker, bend over for the gotdamn cracker, no vaseline...

Anton got a seat in hell for that quote damn somebody must have fucked his wife & pissed in his cereal that day.

I Agree with you those are pretty damn funny(;

Anton is fucked up

I like the Biran Jonestown Massacre and all, but damn. That's it for me. No mo.

As far as disses, the Boy Goerge one about Prince used to crack me up.

"He looks like a midget dipped in a vat of cooking oil, and rolled in pubic hair."

That Kurt one cofuses me

Surely he is only meaning Axl.... Cause he was friend's with Slash & Duff, in fact Duff was oneof the last people to see him alive. So that comment is rather strange lol

Noel Gallagher is one of the worst at insults he is just a pissed off individual

He once said system of the down was the worst band he ever heard, and that he would rather hear the sound of his own death then listen to there cd ha

George referred to EWF as "Earth, Hot Air and No Fire" in "Let's Take It to the Stage". They also dissed Rufus calling them "Sloofus".

My favorite Prince-associated rant came when at the end of "Onedayimgonnabesomebody", the record scratches and Prince and Morris and whoever else was with him (maybe Dez, Matt Fink and the like) said in a monotone chant: "we don't like new wave". This was a diss to Andre Cymone after he had left Prince's camp lol

I still listen to hit em up, Tupac went off he held nothing back

RIP

He truly didn't. I listened to the song a couple weeks ago, it's still hardcore as shit! 2Pac was on some OTHER shit then. RIP indeed.

Yeah that's what i love about him, he was so real. He spoke his mind, he even said he had a big mouth lol I've been listening to alot of his stuff lately and he was really ahead of his time, most(if not all) rappers in the game seriously can't even touch him. He was more intelligent than people think, he read alot and was very aware. I like how there were different sides of him like he was an activist, a thug and a ladies man all in one.

True. I used to love one side better than the others during his lifetime (mainly his activist side) but now I admire ALL his sides, especially the thuggish one though his activist side is probably his best of the sides to me.

Anton Newcombe that was coooooold!

Anton was out of line.

Who is Kathleen Hanna

George Clinton insulted people with TALENT

Boy George is right about Elton

Before Boy George calls anyone hideous like he did with Madonna, he needs to check a mirro

Fred Durst (from Limp Biskit) on Prince:

"When's the last time this guy had any hits?" (during the Rave Un2 period).

"Am I supposed to have hair everywhere and be surrounded by chicks? I'm not Paul Stanley. Face it, the guy wears a wig and he's gay". Tommy Lee 1995 SPIN Magazine

"I don't need a tin spaceship landing onstage to make me look good...And Bootsy?..Hell my dog's

name is Bootsy". Rick James 1983 (local newspaper interview)

"Jimi Hendrix used to sing this nonesense that he was a voodoo child. He wasn't a voodoo child..

He was just a black (racial slur) who played some good guitar". Rick James (same interview)

If this is supposed to be a countdown, then this is way too low:

28. David Lee Roth on Elvis Costello

“Music journalists like Elvis Costello because music journalists look like Elvis Costello.”

And as harsh as 2Pac was - and you're from NY/NJ, Mr. "Westside," so whatever - that Anton quote was off the MF chain! Way over the line, sure, but it should've been #1 with a bullet!

[Edited 8/20/11 6:26am]

Kind of surprising that the quote that Noel Gallagher made about Damon Albarn and Alex James of Blur did not make the list:

"I wish they would catch aids and die."

That's kind of on the harsh side.

Some of these are pretty funny. The Anton Newcombe one was just heinous, though. When you pickle your brain, I suppose it stops filtering.

I guess I'm a bit thick. Why is this an insult? Is it a reference to the Pearl Jam song? I just do not get it:
