English term or phrase: take shots at the guy on top
Vinnie: Speaking of that, people judge you by whether or not you're constantly in the studio. If you're not, you're somehow diminished in their eyes. That's another social stigma I find to be preposterous. I basically do live in the studio.
MD: Everyone takes shots at the guy on top.
Vinnie: Or else they get in your face and start talking to you.

Здесь музыкант говорит о своих непростых отношениях с поклонниками, а ведущий интервью поддакивает: да, мол, нелегко быть знаменитостью.
