I admit I didn't watch the interview linked here. I might later on while I work.
I had the pleasure of meeting him a few different times in the early 90's. The first time was when I was interviewing a band that was opening for them on tour. I only talked to him for about 3 minutes, but he came off like a real asshole. The second time was when they were out promoting and touring for Mellon Collie. I interviewed the whole band for about 45 minutes (I used to be a music journalist) and even if I would direct a question to someone else in the band if he didn't like how they were answering it he would cut them off and finish answering for them. I hung out for a few hours and watched the show and I noticed that he pretty much treated everyone around him like shit.
Maybe I just caught him on a bad day. Maybe he is just one of those guys who is lost in their own genius and because of that he lacks some social skills. Or he might just be a dick.
All I know for sure is that during the seven years I wrote for that magazine and then three years after that I worked for a indie record label I met a ton of famous musicians and he stands out as being one of the worst as far as how he acted and treated people.
