A leading festival promoter has unleashed a furious Twitter tirade on The Voice judge Joel Madden.
Soundwave boss AJ Maddah went full tilt at Madden, who fronts US pop punk band Good Charlotte, in an angry online rant.
Maddah claimed Madden had upset local fans.
Maddah tweeted: "Do you remember looking at your fans clutching your shirt and albums at Perth Airport and saying 'what the f--- do these people want from us' + 'wish they'd just f--- off?'
"Do you remember making fun of a 12/13-year-old girl that was crying because she met you and (sic) telling fat jokes about her.
"I don't hate you. That'd be a waste of my energy. I despair that you have so much disdain for fans to who you owe your career.
"Your lifestyle is financed by gullible fans who love you.''
Maddah also attacked Madden's role spruiking chicken for KFC.
He tweeted: "Your total lack of integrity is staggering. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you? Anyway, goodbye and good luck. I hope you find your humanity 1 day and genuinely appreciate your fans' love; not just their money.''
A shell-shocked Madden tweeted later: "I called AJ and we spoke. He's been upset for 10 years and I'm glad we talked about it and squashed it b/c I respect him and Soundwave.''
Maddah also confirmed on Twitter: "Just spoke to Joel Madden for the first time in 10 years. We've cleared the air.''
Soundwave, with headliners Metallica, Blink 182, Linkin Park and The Offspring, will tour Australia in March. It has sold out nationally.
