History BerserkButton / Music

* Mark E. Smith of Music/TheFall is a fairly amiable guy. Except if you mention Pavement to him. Do that at your own peril.

** He ''really'' didn't like being called "The King" or "The King of Rock and Roll". In life, he was a [[RealMenLoveJesus devout Christian]] and a genuinely humble man, so the only person who deserved to be called King was UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}. Another reason for this is because he's a huge fan of Music/FatsDomino, who was in his mind the ''true'' "King of Rock and Roll" and a far better musician; he resented how his moniker as "The King" [[ButNotTooBlack came from him being white while Fats Domino wasn't]].

* [[http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20475420,00.html Don't ask Chris Brown about Rihanna]].

* [http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20475420,00.html Don't Chris Brown about Rihanna].

* During their pre-fame years of playing bars in the DeepSouth, the members of Music/HootieAndTheBlowfish would come to blows with anyone whom they overheard saying the N-word in front of lead singer Music/DariusRucker (who is black).

* "Coward of the County" by Music/KennyRogers, about a pacifist man named Tommy who goes wild on the Gatlin boys (no, not Rogers' country music contemporaries Larry, Steve and Rudy) after learning they raped and badly beat up his girlfriend, Becky. Tommy's reluctance to fight was influenced by his father, who ironically had told him not to ever fight or become physical as he had in his wild, trouble-making days. In the climactic scene, it is implied that Tommy brutally beat up all three Gatlins by himself, especially after they had sneered and laughed at him after they first saw him, and then after he left...only to lock the door.

* Chief Keef's SignatureSong, "I Don't Like", is an entire song around his Berserk Buttons. Some of them include: unpleasant and/or fake people in general, snitches, sneak dissers, hypocrites, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking fake clothes]].

* Bat for Lashes [[http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/bat-for-lashes-amos-angst_1115327 has expressed her anger over people comparing her to]] Music/ToriAmos. Then there's the [[UnfortunateImplications unfortunate implication]] that she's saying that it's insulting to be compared to her, ''period''.

** Ditto for Music/{{Morrisey}}.

* Mick Jagger of Music/TheRollingStones, learned ''never, under ANY circumstances'' to refer to his bandmate Charlie Watts as "my drummer." When Mick did this, Charlie slugged him and said, "[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Don't you ever call me your drummer again! You're my fucking singer!]]"

* If you are Mick Jagger of Music/TheRollingStones, ''do not, under ANY circumstances'' refer to your bandmate Charlie Watts as "my drummer." Last time Mick did something like this, Charlie slugged him and said, "[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Don't you ever call me your drummer again! You're my fucking singer!]]"

* A pet hate for any fan of Music/{{Genesis}} is people who continually quote Patrick Bateman's speech about the band and Music/PhilCollins from ''Literature/AmericanPsycho''. While ''American Psycho'' is still a FountainOfMemes to this day, it's not a good idea to quote the "Do you like Phil Collins?" speech around die-hard Genesis and/or Phil Collins fans.

When a nice, normal character suddenly goes into a rage over something apparently innocuous, you've hit his BerserkButton.

* Don't bother asking Al Jourgensen of Ministry about their earlier Synthpop material, especially "With Sympathy". Don't even ask him to sign a copy of it either unless you're willing to spend $1,000 to do it. Also, don't ask him about any previous members of the band that he now holds grudges against.

---> '''Marty Lacker:''' Elvis harbored some bad feelings about Goulet from back in the late 50's when he was in the army. Elvis' girlfriend Anita Wood was a singer and she did shows with Goulet and Buddy Hackett. Anita would often write Elvis in Germany and one time Goulet added a post script to one of them telling Elvis in a sly way that he was personally taking care of Anita. Elvis didn't like that and he never forgot so when he saw Goulet on TV, he shot the TV out.

* Don't insult {{Music/Eminem}}'s daughter, Hailie Jade. Ja Rule and Benzino found this out the hard way.

* Don't call Music/MeatLoaf "Marvin".

* Tell [[Music/GunsNRoses Slash]] to play "Sweet Child o' Mine".

* Music/MirandaLambert doesn't like beach balls being thrown around at her concerts, owing to an incident where one collided with her mic stand, causing it to fall over and bust open her lip. Ever since, if a beach ball is bouncing around the audience and it ends up on stage, she will deflate it with a razor or another sharp object she has with her onstage for this exact purpose. Fans seem to relate (or at least the fans who don't bring beach balls to shows do): In one audience-taped video it's obvious the audience knows what's coming and someone clearly shouts "Get it, Miranda!", and the deflation is met with applause.

* You can burn my house, steal my car, drink my liquor from an old fruit jar. Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh, Honey, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2f_eSZgp88 lay off of my shoes...]]
