Sure, there are plenty of ways to piss off full-time musicians. Pick a fight at a show, be the soul-sucking paparazzi, or hock counterfeit merch for profit. However, few are as low on the Asshole Tree of Celebrity Vultures as the professional autograph salesman.
Ramming as many pieces of paper or merch as they can in the face of obliging musos is how they make it day to day, mostly getting away unscathed. Recently, one particularly unfortunate memorabilia leech copped the full brunt of an enraged Josh Homme.
Whilst he is more than often the nicest rock and roller in the business, Homme has unloaded on a few choice jerks who rubbed him the wrong way in the past.
After a recent gig in Detroit, Homme refused to sign autographs because of the presence of obvious eBay sellers, taking pictures with eager fans instead after the show.
A now-uninterested autograph vulture reportedly asked Josh “Do you know how much we made off you tonight?” which is when Homme chose to unload at the scum suckers.
“You fucking loser… You’re full of shit dude. You’re an entitled, spoiled motherfucker,” he tells the autograph hunter in the clip below.
10 points to Gryffindor for Josh Homme on this one, making money off the volunteered time of artists is not on.
