it seems rare that the lead singer of a band can acheive any measure of success without being labeled an asshole. i think there are a few things at work here:
1) the singer IS an asshole. whether it's a chicken/egg thing is a another topic that can be dealt with on a case-to-case basis (was he/she always a prick, or did the adulation of many turn them this way?).
2) it's a long way to the top & you've probably gotta step on some toes to get there. from here the little clique-y pissing matches in the media can begin........
3) by definition of the job, the singer is going to be, at best, a mild narcissist who thinks their opinions/feelings are important enough to broadcast to millions.
i think the rest of any band has an obligation to themselves to either rein in the asshat (good word, derwood!) or suffer the consequences of alienating whatever sector of the populace said asshat has pissed off this week.
all that said, i really think creed sux.
