I'd pick Jello as he seems to have the creative instinct inspite of the lidacain lisp but his band had something going for them also....?

The band Neurosis sued Jello first which lead to the lawsuit from the other members of the Dead Kennedys. Here is what Scott Kelly from Neurosis has to say about Jello.
What happened with AT?

Alternative Tentacles ripped us off. That’s the simple version. They cooked the books and we called them on it. They accused us of all sorts of things and being greedy. And it was only about $3000!

It was basically an honor thing. There was no honor there. I don’t know what to say about it except that I was proud to be on the label when they approached us to do us records. We held them in high regard and it couldn’t be further from that now.

Label head Jello Biafra (former singer of the Dead Kennedys) also lost a lawsuit filed by his former band mates essentially claiming he’d been withholding royalties on the back catalog.

They won in court because they were correct. If he would rip us off for a small amount of money then he’d go after them for huge amount of money. When is the last time he had to punch a clock or worry about rent? He doesn’t. Who lives in a house on the hill? He does. I live in a trailer in the woods. I have a day job and always have. What he did to his fellow band mates is all there in black and white.

Jello is an ego maniac. I have stood within ear shot of him at dozens of Bay Area shows in the past twenty years and heard him tell numerous people the old "do you know who I am?" line.
