Top 10 Musicians That Did Not Have Commercial Success

4. Anton Newcombe


Anton Alfred Newcombe is an American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, singer and the member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Unfortunately, he occasionally displayed erratic behavior and paranoid tendencies on stage, which are fueled by heroin addiction. Sometimes, he destroyed musical instruments in fits of rage and berated his band mates. He claims to be proficient in 80 different instruments, including drums, accordion, organ, piano, lute, mandolin, bagpipes, upright bass, sitar and guitar. The Brian Jonestown Massacre went separate ways after he failed to proceed with a highly hyped album.
