Musicians can be notoriously awkward bastards. Bursting in all that creative energy, cursed with excessive perfectionism and - in some cases - spoilt by vast wads of wealth, they're prone to throwing a hissy fit when things don't quite go their way. Check out these 10 minor meltdowns - all caught on camera for your viewing pleasure.
The Top Ten...
'(S)HIT WRITERS' BEE GEES ON CLIVE ANDERSON
Verbally bludgeoned by 'cheeky' Clive's cheeky jibes, the squealy disco siblings take their mumsy hairdoes and tight trousers through the exit door. "You're the tosser, pal!" Beautiful.
THE STONE ROSES POWER CUT: "AMATEURS!"
An early televised performance for the Mancunian masters of baggie, yet when the BBC power goes tits up, Ian 'Monkey Man' blows his own fuse. Marvel at the apeness.
GRACE JONES LAMPS RUSSELL HARTY
The lean-bodied eccentric diva doesn't just croon out slightly mental songs and star in 007 films - she delivers flurries of slaps to chat-show hosts too. Have it.
'ORDINARY BOY' PRESTON STORMS OFF NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS
Simon Amstell reads excerpts from 'some' ditzy Paris Hilton lookalike's crap and utterly pointless autobiography. (Then) hubbie Preston must've thought it was crap too. He could take its dull prose no more...
BUSTA RHYMES REFUSES A PHOTO - IN SCARY STYLE!
The burly rapper takes exception to a female autograph hunter - seemingly because his bowels are going through some serious movement. That'll get anyone riled, for sure.
BJORK TEARS CHUNKS OUT OF A PAP LADY AT THE AIRPORT
Woahhh, there's some real pent-up aggression from the Icelandic pixie of weirdness. Except it's not pent-up in this video, oh no, it comes all out in one big scary onslaught of hair-tearing mayhem.
PATRICK WOLF TRASHES STAGE IN GERMANY AND SPITS AT P.A. 'BITCH'
Bad move,
someone switched the London glamster's P.A. off and he's not happy. Gig
over. Instruments thrown like little plastic baby toys. That's rock and
roll baby!
JOSH HOMME THREATENS PAIN ON YOUNG FAN FOR, UM, THROWING SOMETHING...
Queens of the Stone Age's main-man was having a very bad day. This chuck-happy 'fan' feels the brunt of his fury, the stupid f**king p*ssy!
AXL ROSES LEAPS INTO CROWD, GOES HOME
GNR's frontman is notoriously easy to piss off. His sweary rants at fans and security seem to be as much part of his shows as a live rendition of 'Sweet Child O' Mine'. Curl in fright at his stage-bound menace.
CHRIS MARTIN THROWS BEARDY PAP PERSON TO THE FLOOR
Coldplay's sensitive stick is normally such a pleasant fellow. But let him go 'hoodie' for the day and this happens.
