Rock & Roll Feuds

I had some old Rolling Stones on earlier aka the good stuff pre-Jagger vs. Richards. And it got me thinking about other band feuds that lead to either the band's demise, change of personnel, a hiatus or at least some wacky front page news.

Here are a few I came up with...

Pink Floyd - Waters vs Gilmour
The Kinks - Davies vs Davies
Van Halen - Eddie and Alex vs Roth vs Hagar
The Clash - Strummer vs Jones
Oasis - Gallagher vs Gallagher
Black Sabbath - Ozzy vs Band
Simon & Garfunkel - well, duh
Genesis - Gabriel vs Band
Temptations - Ruffin vs Band
The Smiths - Morrissey vs Band
Guns 'n Roses - Axl vs Band
Cream - Clapton vs Bruce vs Baker
The Police - Sting vs the other two guys
Fleetwood Mac - take your pick
Yes - many combinations
Uncle Tupelo - Rob Farrar vs Jeff Tweedy (they made a win-win decision)
Metallica - Mustaine vs Band
Ike vs Tina

oh, and some little obscure band called the Beatles...


Now here are a few that are a little, let's say, different...

Frank Zappa vs Tipper Gore
Pearl Jam vs Ticketmaster
Marvin Jr. vs Marvin Sr.
Michael Jackson vs Paul McCartney
GG Allin vs Sanity
Billy Corgan vs anyone else that played with him
Bob Marley vs the Jamaican government
Kurt Cobain vs a shotgun
Keith Moon vs Meds
Pete Townsend vs exploding amps
Brian Jones vs swimming pools
Milli Vanilli vs a tape player
Vince Neil vs cookies, cake and pie
David Lee Roth vs hair loss
Michael Hutchence vs sexual satisfaction
Sid Vicious vs heroin

and of course....

U2 vs the World
