'Tis the season to be jolly. And practice goodwill to all men. Unless you're a Rock Star.

What's been the best Rock Star to Rock Star insult of the year? Bonus points if the verbal barb was delivered personally rather than via the pages of the music press or t'internet.

I nominate this clever sledge reported in jmag (in Australia) back in March 2008:

"While we love their sound, the antics of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE left a bitter taste in our mouths post-fest. In between refusing to be shot as a group, or allow journalists to ask about the band, the RAGE entourage acted like right divas. Our fave story? In the backstage compound of Auckland, minders asked all dressing rooms on the way to the stage to be shut, so the band could walk through without people seeing them! ARCADE FIRE frontman Win Butler reportedly had enough - and opened his door as they passed to yell: "F**k you I won't do what you tell me!"
