With this in mind, we’re counting down the Top 5 worst decisions in rock. Blunders so bad, they’ve gone down in history as cautionary tales. These missteps derailed albums and turned icons into punchlines. One of these stories is about an obsessed Axl Rose who sunk 13 million dollars and a decade into the album Chinese Democracy, which in the end was kinda lame. Another one is about Kevin Dubrow, who had the #1 band in the world: Quiet Riot. But one Bad interview and his career ended almost overnight… U2 thought they were clever when they gave away an album for free to many Millions of people, only to have them lead a worldwide revolt. And Billy Squier flushed his career down the toilet after putting out 1 of the worst music videos ever. These stories and more are coming up NEXT on the Professor of Rock.
