The Smiths: First Morrisey & Marr were angry at the other 2 members (bassist & drummer) for winning a court case for equal royalties even though the bassist & drummer never wrote any of the songs. Then Morrissey & Marr stopped talking when Marr started being friendly with the bassist again.
I have watched Sea of Tranquility a lot, and I started asking myself why I didn't listen to The Contrarians because Martin is so much fun. It took me a few months even to watch a Contrarians show, but you guys have the best topics, so I'm hooked now.
Great show and selections! Welcome DW and Tom! I always found it comical that during one of the Black Crowes' hiatuses, Chris forms a band and tours as the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. Martin, great comment on the Eagles although to be fair, Timothy B Schmit seems like a decent guy. 😃 As for Journey, they're the band that keeps on giving with their drama. Layers and layers there. And Nick is right, I saw Jack Russell's Great White last year and he still has that great voice.
Another enjoyable show, with great examples of band feuds. Ones I’d also add are UFO/Michael Schenker, Thin Lizzy/Brian Robertson & the original Quo line up.
The Clash feud wasn't that bad because Strummer wound up working with Big Audio Dynamite with Mick a few years later, and Strummer seemed happy touring with the Mescaleros in the 90s. They talked about trying to reunite and did a signing for "Clash on Broadway", and then Joe passed. My takeaway from The Police feud had more to do with creative tensions in the studio and playing on stage. It's actually "Ghost In The Machine" where there was heavy tension in the studio, and "Synchronicity" was more of the same. There's a documentary made around the reunion where they did get along but just some of the things going on in rehearsals were where the tensions were surfacing. Sting kind of barking orders, Stewart making digs at Sting, Andy making wisecracks in between.
Absolutely. The band hasn't been in touch with Donnie Purnell in many years. He wasn't invited to the last show and probably wouldn't have shown up if he had been invited.
The original Mahavishnu Orchestra lineup imploded because of out-of-control egos. The members didn't share John McLaughlin's devotion to Sri Chimnoy, so it's no wonder McLaughlin found new musicians to continue Mahavishnu Orchestra name. McLaughlin and Billy Cobham did make up in the 1980s as both appear on the Mahavishnu album from 1984. By then McLaughlin had nothing to do with Sri Chimnoy. Of course, we can't forget Cream, particularly the big rivalry between Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. To say they hated each other was an understatement. When Ginger was living in South Africa, Jack felt he was still too close, even though Jack was living in the UK. The 2005 reunion only proved the rivalry never died.
I would say Hip Hop and the 90s Norwegian Black Metal Scene are the 2 genres that were riddled with the most serious feuds …both internal and with other artists…
Focus: Looks like by 1975 Jan Akkerman and Thijs van Leer were no longer talking and Jan left with Philip Catherine filling in on the album Focus con Proby. Then they broke up. There was a brief reunion in 1985 with Jan and Thijs. An album was recorded and released (sounds like a mid '80s update of the Focus sound with flute still there but with digital synths like the DX-7 and drum machines instead of real drums and organ). The reunion didn't last. The 2002 reunion was Thijs recruiting members of a Focus tribute band. Jan nowhere to be found. Pierre van der Linden did eventually rejoin. The Byrds: Looks like so many members hated each other that it's no wonder by 1968, outside of Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman was the only original member left when Sweetheart of the Rodeo came out. Then he left leaving McGuinn fully in charge. Then of course we have David Crosby, always a character, to say the least. McGuinn disliked Crosby using the Byrds as a political pulpit. His politics far more suited Crosby, Stills and Nash. Guns n' Roses: At least the Axl Rose versus everyone else was mentioned. To me Chinese Democracy should've been an Axl solo album but it's obvious that it would sell much better if it was slapped with the GNR name on it. The reunion was only partial because I'm certain some of the members didn't want anything to do with Axl anymore. Buffalo Springfield: Seemed the biggest rivalry was between Stephen Stills and Neil Young. So it's a bit surprising that they recorded an album together in 1976 called Long May You Run. Obviously they never did that again but they obviously couldn't help being in the same presence in the studio and live during periodic CSN&Y reunions.
Dokken - George and Don's power struggle UFO - always centering around Phil and Michael, eventually leading to Michael leaving every time Skid Row - Sebastián vs the band Queensryche, Styx, Ratt, just to name a few others.
The Doors come to mind. I've read Robbie, John, and Ray's books, and holy moley. It sounded absolutely dreadful at times. Wish Jimbo had lived long enough to give the 4th perspective.
I read "Unhinged" and you can tell that he carried with him Jim's disappointment when the others signed off to use "Light My Fire" in a car ad. He kind of patched things up before Ray passed though.
I find that a lot of these band feuds, especially nowadays, are fueled by the press. Reporters love to poke and prod and stoke the flames of drama, and websites like Blabbermouth feed off the drama for clickbait headlines. I've seen a number of feuds started and maintained simply through Blabbermouth posts. Some guitarist makes a off-hand disparaging comment about a peer during an interview, and Blabbermouth reposts that interview. The disparaged peer sees the comment, and goes on Twitter to clap back, and Blabbermouth is there to cover it. It starts a whole social media battle against the two musicians, and Blabbermouth is there for every shot fired.
Glenn Danzig and The Misfits for a long time were feuding, but the band was not that big it got much attention. Maybe do bands who feuded with other bands, rivals ...like The Cure and The Smiths.
How about Queensryche vs. Geoff Tate? I'm still bummed that Geoff is not in the band anymore. The original lineup was so great and they had a great run of amazing records. It started going downhill after Chris DeGarmo left. But I was pretty shocked when Geoff was fired. To me, he will always be the voice of Queensryche. Nothing against Todd La Torre, but to me, it's now a different band. And now we have the Scott Rockenfield lawsuit situation. So sad that two very important original members of one of my favorite metal bands get fired.
The Smiths. Evanescence. Public Image Ltd. Supertramp. Beach Boys. RATT. Black Flag. Pixies. Dead Kennedys. Dio. Ozzy. Pantera (when Vinnie was still alive). KISS. Rolling Stones mid-80s. Pink Floyd. Everly Brothers. Blink 182. Led Zeppelin never feuded (Bonzo brawling is a whole other story) but when excluded John Paul Jones for "Unplugged", JPJ took a jab at Plant and Page about it when Led Zep were inducted in the Rock Hall. Elvis Costello refusing to reunite all The Attractions and Debbie Harry refusing to do a full Blondie reunion at the Rock Hall, definitely should be included. The Lindsey and Stevie "drama" of Fleetwood Mac. Ian Anderson vs Martin Barre. Until 2 weeks ago, Talking Heads. With CCR and The Band, the feuding really started happening after those bands broke up.
I have such a great relationship with my brother, that I always find it incredibly sad to hear about those feuds between brothers in bands. Tom, John Sykes might have been waiting around for Coverdale to get better, but we have basically been waiting for John Sykes to come out of his slumber since Blue Murder...I'm not so sure John Sykes is such a reliable guy. Coverdale built Whitesnake from scratch, John Sykes CV certainly can't compare with DC's . Sykes was a great addition to WS, to say that he made "1987" alone is a bit of a stretch. Cheers.
Regarding Dokken, one of the most notorious bands for feuds, infighting, and drama. If you believe Don Dokken, he claims that the money got split equally four ways, regardless of a band member’s actual contribution to the song writing. So $ in this case wouldn’t be the issue. But he says it was the heavy drug use among the other 3 that isolated him from the rest of the group. Also, he claims George Lynch had a problem with the band name from day one.
Queensryche, Judas Priest, Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Foreigner, Megadeth, and most recently Slipknot/Stone Sour/CoreyTaylor's ego. Just off the top of my head.
Queensryche is a great example. Japan (the band) breakup happened due to Karn & Sylvian having a huge fallout with each other beginning a years long feud that was squashed with the Rain Tree Crow reunion project in ‘91. Voivod (Blackie vs remaining band member lawsuits for Target Earth royalties etc.) Also the Misfits are legendary for their feuds.
First of all, let us not forget "YES" and their many traumatic Feuds that happened & Chris Squire was the ONLY member to be on All albums until his passing away. = Is Chris the Main start of the dissagreements? = Probably not, But is is a Constant! But the Good news is They All got together again and had a Huge HUG and got together again! = "YES"!! If I remember right, the "Bangles" had a small feud over All of the attention that Susanna Hoffs was getting as opposed to the other girls, as she was the Lead Singer, Smaller and Cuter as well.. I "Think" that they moved on and get along now, but do not quote me on that as I am to lazy to look into the subject further.. There Might have been the same kind of feud with the Go-Go's with Belinda as well maybe? The Very Early Riot Girl band "Babes in Toyland" between Kat Bejeland VS Courtney Love, who was in the band before "HOLE", was some news in Beljeland's Babes in Toyland biography. I can think of one other band.. "TRIUMPH"! Rik Emmit VS Gil Moor and Mike Levine! After the "Surveillance" album, Rik was sick of the commercialism road that MCA wanted to go in with Triumph and the other two wanted to go in = This GREAT band died and Rarely ever get together anymore for ANYTHING, except a live show once in a decade! "Phil X" Rik's replacement did Nothing to keep this band going it seems.. I do not know if they still get along or not though.. Nor do I want to research further either. Awesome subject Contrarians! On one LAST NOTE.. I would HATE to Work for Robert Fripp! He would be a joy to learn from for a guitarist, but he seems like a MF to work for. And for Good Reason For Sure! He IS King Crimson afer All! I do not of Any Feuds.. But just my observations! Side Track.. I havent bothered listening to KISS since "Animalized".. I just can not stand Gene or Paul! = They Both SUCK and are Over rated buisness over Creativity and Selling Merch Deuch Bags IMHO! Cheers! 🙂
Duran Duran..on top of the world in 1984 but then Andy Taylor and John Taylor want to “rock” American style and form The Power Station. Simon, Nick and Roger respond with their own more Euro DD type band Arcadia. They all reunite for Live Aid but that’s the end of the original lineup.
Good ones. Sometimes it even leads to two versions of a band, at one point there were also personal issues that led to two Saxon and two Survivor and in some ways there's two Venom now because of that.
Queensrÿche, one of the most public fallouts the last decade, but started in the early 90's. First DeGarmo leaving, then Tate getting fired, followed later by Rockenfield disappearing. The Tate firing in 2012 on its own was obviously the most public, with the lawsuit, fight among the fans (which is still going on), 2 albums the same year by 2 different versions of the band etc. etc. The band members have at least mellowed on it nowadays, the fanbases still bickering in the YT comment sections to some degree though.
too many commentators. Long form discussions like this should be no more than 3 or 4 people. Popoff should be the lead as he's the master of all ceremonies
They burned out by 1980 and Frey was sick of Felder, but what is kept under wraps is Henley vs Frey and wasn't mentioned in the documentary, but I know they were feuding.
Disagree about The Police reunion. None of the past in-fighting affected the performance of the live music. It was a great concert. The Eagles is a great feud because the underdog, Don Felder, won in the end.
Black Country Communion is great on every album and the new album on the way is my most anticipated new release coming up. I have to encourage you to come back to the band. You won't regret it. K.K. is a little bit of a sad sack. I feel bad for him. It is actually pretty pathetic but, I think he still plays well for a guy in his 70s.
The Police was Stewart’s band and he was always the heart of the band in my opinion. Sting went off to a solo career yes, but none of his solo albums could match the brilliance of The Police, I find his solo albums incredibly boring too, faux jazz for white Yuppies.
Kansas: Steve Walsh got jealous that Kerry Livgren was writing the band's more successful songs( and Livgren's lyrics becoming more Christian based also irked Walsh, leading to him leaving the band) Supertramp: Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies became more and more alienated with each other, and Hodgson also was starting to alienate other band members too over musical direction(Hodgson was wanting to simplify and get poppier, the rest of the band wanted to go for more jazz/blues/prog). Sax player John Helliwell has stated that Hodgson was always wanting to leave during his whole tenure(not only for music conflicts, Hodgson wanted to travel/spend more time with family) Dire Straits: Mark Knopfler feuded with his brother David, David left Dire Straits because of this(David also wanted to go solo, since Mark refused to let anyone else write songs)
The Dictators - Andy Shernoff vs. Handsome Dick Manitoba. Andy stops HDM at every turn. HDM's Dictators NYC, playing Andy's originals, without Andy in the band. Andy finally won the band name, he's out touring under The Dictators name, with Ross The Boss. HDM isn't involved, he's playing under the HDM name.
The Smiths: First Morrisey & Marr were angry at the other 2 members (bassist & drummer) for winning a court case for equal royalties even though the bassist & drummer never wrote any of the songs. Then Morrissey & Marr stopped talking when Marr started being friendly with the bassist again.

Styx, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Sharon Osbourne and various musicians, Dio and Vivian Campbell, L.A. Guns
