Most outrageous Rockers of 2014? [View all]

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/entertainment/top_10_most_outrageous_rockers_of_2014.html

Ok so I go through this list and by the time I get to the end I have turned into the "get off my lawn you rotten kids" old man. However this time.. it's totally justified.

Nearly every "outrageous" act on this list is someone yelling at a fan or saying something stupid. Queens Of The Stone Age guitar player said "Fuck Imagine Dragons" Courtney Love yelled at a fan, Gene Simmons said Rock is dead, Bruce Dickenson said Punk sucks...

This is what passes for "outrageous" in our right wing wet dream society?

Look I don't like being the "get off my lawn" old guy, but fuck it. GET OFF MY LAWN. This is what you people consider outrageous? HA! Pussies.

Back in the day of real rock and roll, that list would have had entries like

The Rolls Royce in the pool incident.
The TV out the hotel window incident.
The "red snapper" incident.
The snorting a line of ants incident.

Man I give up. We have gone so far to the right that the most outrageous thing they could find a "rocker" doing was saying "Fuck Imagine Dragons"
