Watching FZ on crossfire is one of the best things you can do with twenty minutes of your life. <3
Anywho, I respect all of them unless they do or say something completely rude and/or is an arrogant twit.
So basically everybody but Axl Rose.
Besides, I usually never research the personalities of artists I listen to, so for me to hear something bad about an artist it would have to be abhorrent enough to be heard by word-of-mouth.
(Gah, it's 1AM and I can't type worth a crap)

MJ of course, he always the NO. 1.

ASAP Rocky, he is such a nice humble guy in his interviews

I don't think respecting musicians for their technical proficiency counts much re "respect as people."

I normally don't pay much attention to their non-music doings and usually dislike what I hear of that.

Franco Pepe Kalle

Here are three musicians for now that I respect

__________________
The problem with Franco Pepe Kalle is that he is a unpredictable character. There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock.

Girls are the sexy thing that God created.

Important to notice FPK.

Are you serious? He looked like a complete tool for large parts of his interview with Danny Brown, who is much more personable.

Besides, of course, Jim Morrison I have much respect for:
Roger Waters and David Gilmour - I love their philosophy.
Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley - I love their sense of humor.
And, of course, Beethoven - I respect his will and strength.

Tom Waits and Frank Zappa are the big ones for me. Both seem to be great people (seemed in Frank's case) who really had their heads on right when it comes to the music business and how the world works in general. Whenever I read interviews, hear them doing speeches, or just them talking in between songs during concerts they consistently impress me. There might be artists whose work I like more than theirs but they are the ones who I feel the most personal connection with and respect the most, and who I would most want to be like.

Devin Townsend. I love how he reacts to the crowd at this little performance:

I know someone who knew Frank Zappa decades ago, probably before I was born. I could ask for an opinion on him as a person, though it would be a little weird to bring up out of the blue.
