4.) Axl Rose
Axl Rose is why you’d go to a Guns ‘n Roses concert, but possibly the same reason why you wouldn’t want to go to a Guns ‘n Roses concert. Axl was the definition of a rock star in the late eighties/early nineties, but all those years of rock stardom took a nasty toll at the expense of his ego and the Guns n’ Roses credibility. Spending ten years on an album everyone wanted to be great, Chinese Democracy was released to little to no response… but it did pull through when distributing free Dr. Pepper to fans (as promised.) There was a point in time that GnR was considered one of the best bands in the world, but a show in Dublin introduced the band a torrent of bottles, boos, and trash for making them wait an hour for them to perform. As Axl is the only remaining member of Guns ‘n Roses, it should be no shock that his former bandmates didn’t have the patients for Axl either.
3.) Whitney Houston
Although she has passed, the final decades of Whitney Houston weren’t too kind to her. Battling hard drugs and domestic abuse rumors, the late Whitney was a far cry from the Whitney Houston who seemingly had everything in the late eighties/early nineties. Grammys, box office hits, and platinum records all began to dry up once Bobby Brown entered the picture. Although he isn’t to blame for her troubles, Whitney Houston was found dead in a bathtub in 2012 and her quote “Crack is whack” will resound forever.
