Why So Arrogant?

Why do people become so arrogant when they hit fame? After the long road to become famous is over, most of the rock stars are left with a bottle of rum and lonliness. I assume that this is the reason they become so bitter and arrogant, because after they hit fame, that is what they have to show for in life, if they are proud of it or not.

I met a few "celebrities", some made me lose respect, some made me gain.  For example: I went to Vans Warped Tour this summer, and met Andy Sixx of the Black Veil Brides. Black Veil Brides are a popular "screamo" or "heavy metal" band mostly teenagers like.    I waited in line for more than 2 hours just to see them sign a $3.00 poster and for them to say "hi" and "thanks" after i complimented them.  I assumed (silly me) that i would at least be able to snap a picture of him and I together, but when i asked it was a big...fat..NO! What makes them so special? They can scream into a microphone....big whoop, my 3 year old cousin does that without pay!

On the other hand, I was privledged enough to meet Craig Mabbitt and Max Green of Escape The Fate, and they were the sweetest, most humble people I have ever met.  They seemed genuinely happy I came to see them, instead of annoyed.  They let me take as many pictures as i wanted with them, and had a real conversation. It was one of the greatest things, and they have gained so much respect from me!
