Musicians Who Refuse To Work Together 

Did any of these surprise you?

The Gallagher brothers are legendary for needing therapy.

MONEY.....It kills everything good.

No mention of Ray Davies and his brother Dave Davies of 'The Kinks'. Those two never got along that well to the point that their original bass player Peter Quaife just could no longer deal with the two brothers fighting with each other constantly. Peter Quaife left 'The Kinks' in 1969 or in 1970. Eventually original drummer Mick Avery quit 'The Kinks' in 1984 because just too much (over the years as well) friction with Dave Davies.

Paul Simon's eyes died early, Garfunkel still sparkles.

It's not surprising that band members clash. They're around each other 24/7 and get on each other's nerves.

I thought music was suppose to make you happy !

It was really neat of you to show a picture of Don Felder and then show clips of Glen.

Brothers Ray and Dave Davies, founding members of the Kinks, are unlikely to attend any family reunion if notified they both are invited.

Pink Floyd - discovered by Norman Smith. Norman came to be known as Hurricane Smith and had a few hits, notably Oh Babe What Would You Say. He also was the Beatles recording engineer for all their recordings up to and including Rubber Soul.

I enjoyed this video.

It’s just life people. They outgrow each other.

Although this isn’t rock, Darren Hayes said in an interview that he would only reunite Savage Garden if it cured cancer.

Ian Gillan, in his frustration, wrote some anti-Blackmore lyrics into some Purple songs which Ritchie didn't know about!

i can't believe Stills Nash and Young tolerated Crosby as long as they did. Despite his talent he has always been a druggy loudmouth and he was difficult in the Byrds too.

Great idea for a video on Bands, watch Riff videos and re do them as new

Black Flag should definitely be on this. Everybody hated Greg Ginn so much, some former members started a new version of the band. Ginn even tried to sue them, but it didn't work. The Dead Kennedys also fit here too.

Could have included Cream ....I think they all were wild-eyed and crazy but helluva great musicians !

Went to a CSN and Y concert, slept thru the whole thing.

I know you can't cover all the band breakups, was hoping you would cover Grand Funk RR though.

Actually kinda surprised the Ramones were left off this

Fleetwood Mac certainly did not "soldier on" for decades. We fans never expected to see them together again until the Dance tour.

BTW Mike Love is a musician like Taco Bell is Mexican food.

Billy Corgan also said in an interview that he would never reunite Zwan.

In any team there's always someone who wants to be the boss. If they rule wisely, then OK. But too often, they insist on being the star too. And they boss everyone around to keep them from upstaging him. When you realize that his decisions were not based on aesthetic opinion, but on sabotaging your chance to shine, It's not easy to forgive. Ever.

Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart could definitely be on this list.

Could likely add the Davies brothers from the Kinks. They had some serious friction and I don't know if they ever reconciled.

Seems like just about every band had a feud, or at least some artistic disagreements. The Beatles weren't even mentioned. The Who, The Band, Cream, Moody Blues, Yes, Supertramp. I do cover songs and a couple of my own songs. It's hard to feud yourself.

Randy Bachman didn't like Burton Cummings lifestyle when they were big stars with The Guess Who and that was one of the main reasons he left the band back in the 70's

I'm very surprised that Chicago and Peter Cetera were not mentioned.

If it were not for Lindsey Buckingham Stevie nicks would still be waiting tables in Phoenix. Mick Fleetwood, John & Christine McVie at first did not even want her in the band. They were interested in Lindsay's unique guitar skills and finger picking style.

I don't know whether my suggested bands are big enough to make the list, but my bias towards them, would have included New Order (Peter Hook) and The Smiths...

How could you not include Ray and Dave Davies and Phil and Don Everly. Anyway each year at the R&R Hall of Fame inaugurations feuds continue. Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm, Peter Cetera and Chicago etc etc

I think the epic band bandmate fued is Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds of Rockpile. On tour they would switch off every so many shows so they wouldn't have to be in the same town at the same time. A sad end to what could have been one of the great rock acts of all time.

Ooh, you left out the Talking Heads feud of David Byrne vs. Tina Weymouth.

Extraordinary, not a mention of the well known rift between the brothers Davis and Avory

👌👌👌

🙏🏼 KISS does a farewell SHOW with the two original members, Ace Frehley & Peter Criss.

Genesis had moderate success in the US, but they had a huge fanbase here in Europe. They split in mid 70s and never played again.

Their egos really do destroy many people. They become their own worst enemies.

Crosby being a troll, what else is new? 🤣😂

A friend of mine, who was a big Crosby fan, once actually meet him. She's no longer a fan, says he was a total A-hole.

Crazy

You forgot Michael Jackson NOT wanting to perform with his brothers.

Oasis's greatest contribution was bringing the world's attention of George Harrison's great Wonderwall record, one of the weirdest and most wonderful albums ever recorded Light years ahead of anyone to this day, including even the Beatles

Sebastian Bach is a character in the Trailer Park Boys universe. That trumps any Skid Row bullshit.

If Mike Love weren't Brian Wilson's cousin, he'd be nobody.

You forgot Steve Winwood and Dave Mason !

10:00)The same Glenn Frey of "Smugglers' Blues"? 11:06)Is D' Arcy another murdered French name? Jeanne D'Arc.

For the most part, I didn't much care about most of these stories, it seems that most of the breakups and feuds were fueled by egos and insanity. Simon and Garfunkel's story is a sad one. The two were simply so good together musically. I don't think there's a S&G song that I don't enjoy and can't sing along too. The same can't be said about their solo efforts. CCR's is another sad and strange tale, but I've always sided with John. To me he was disrespected and stepped on. I'm glad he's still going strong.

This video. misses BIG TIME by failing to mention the Ray Davies / Dave Davies brotherhood dispute running through the history of THE KINKS.

Sometimes two really big egos can't exist in the same room?

What about Steve Perry and Journey ???

All human organisations eventually fragment and when money, fame, excess are involved they fragment more quickly and more explosively. Successful rock bands of course attract all these fragmentation ingredients - in spades. So the real suprise is how ANY of them stay together in the form they start out - and not many do.

Stevie Nicks wouldn’t have even been in her current position had it not been for Lyndsey Buckingham’s insistence on them being a double package when he was offered the spot of lead singer in Fleetwood Mac! How’s that for being supportive? Considering that Fleetwood Mac wouldn’t be where they are now, were it not for Buckingham’s song/music writing skills, so it’s quite ironic that they sacked the wrong singer. The sad fact is that they can only play “Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits” until they fall off their perches but without Lyndsey they won’t make any more new decent music.

Guess Fleetwood Mac realized they needed Stevie more than Linds. Stevie has had a brilliant "solo" career attracting talents like Tom Petty (R.I.P) ...

What about STYX and Denis DeYoung?

Ok, this needs to change... You write a song, it's YOURS!!!! No one else's. Especially not the record company's!!! If more than one person has contributed to the song, then it belongs to all that contributed to the song!!!! Money is making people crazy and coming up with the most insane thoughts about things!!! If I were a songwriter singer, I wouldn't even use record companies. I would somehow figure out how to do it all myself! From making the record to promotions and concerts. LOL Good thing I'm not, though. But, if I were, oh you can bet I would be making waves over someone telling me I don't own my own thoughts that I put into a song. OH HELL NO!!!!!!!! That doesn't sit well with me AT ALL and I'm not even in the biz!!!! LOL

Glen Frey also hated Randy Meisner. he constantly bullied him

Lita Ford got me in a scissor lock and choked me out in a Hooters parking lot in Fort Wayne, Indiana, this one time.

Except they have reformed and did a series of concerts already

At least Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem didn’t break up over personality clashes.

Paul Simon isn't alone. I don't know anyone who wants to work with Art Garfunkel. I did once. Never will again.

See what drugs alcohol & EGOS will do to a band.

These videos are diceptive, as they have worked together on and off, I thought this was about music folks not willing to work together

SMASHIN PUMPKINS IS SOPHMOTIC PRETENTIOUS KID STUFF

Mark and David Knopfler. David walked out due to Mark being so domineering/controlling. Their relationship was patched up a few years ago. But it took the passing of one of their parents for them to speak again.

Ok, Lets ALL grow up here...Geez Kiddies.

Stevie Nicks sounds like Alvin from the Chipmunks with a nasal problem.

i still cant get over what don brewer and mel schacher of grandfunk railroad did to mark farner i mean getting mark to to sign his share into a corporate merger then him and mel voted him out of the corporation so now mark cant associate himself with grandfunk in anyway 👎🏻

Do you know of any artists that are not Ego-driven ?...I don't...Some are hiding their game better than others...

Stevie Nicks didn't embark on an affair with Mick Fleetwood. He persued her. And for whatever reason -- like drugs and/or alcohol -- she eventually gave in (though probably just to get back at Lindsey). And even after sleeping with her, Mick refused to give her sole songwriting credit for "Silver Springs" (crediting the band instead) and also kept the track off Rumours.

And Don & Phil.............

What nothing about the break up and bad blood between the Archie's!

Eric Avery and Perry Farrell.

Bandmates are petty siblings.

Most of those groups it doesn't matter if they got back together or not Crosby Stills Nash & Young I own four-way Street the Eagles Leon Hotel California Creedence Clearwater Revival ayon Cosmo's Factory kiss I own alive Fleetwood Mac I own the early stuff with Peter Green then again I wouldn't mind seeing Pink Floyd again you can wish

If it wasn’t for Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie wouldn’t have even been in Fleetwood Mac That’s the deal he made with Mick when offered to join, they were a couple & it turned out Awesome 🤘🏼Stevie should remember that, as I’m sure her life would’ve been much different, yet she’s the one that made the band “choose” & Lindsay left, I lost a lotta respect for her 🤦🏼‍♀️

How about Journey's break-up?

YES - Steve Howe won't reunite with original singer Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman.

Everly Bros. Ozzy & Iommi Van Halan & David Lee

The Everly Brothers... a sad story

Is it possible to put Stewart Copeland and Sting in the same room without WWIII breaking out? Honorable mention: Jello Biafra vs the rest of the Dead Kennedys, who sued him and won a bunch of $ over royalties

The Kiss chumps got bamboozled into wearing black & white makeup for decades. Except for one tour. PLEASE put the makeup back on!!!

What about Styx and Denise DeYoug

Well, they are ordinary people who act the same way.

CCR

Oh wow, I am so stoned.

All needed therapy

Gosh the bass heavy music in the background of this is annoying

background music off putting

Stevie nicks can write lyrics and she can create the vocal harmonies for those lyrics and that is all. If anybody can just pay attention to her actual recordings of songs like dreams and Rhiannon they could just pay attention to the music as it begins to play and say to themselves wait a minute that's exactly note for note what she's about to start singing. And that continued all throughout her time with Fleetwood mac. Even in her solo career in the song "stand back" once again you can hear note for note in the music what she's about to start singing. Because she cannot actually write music she's been forced to take the vocal Harmony and make it pass for the music. That's why Nick fleetwoods name is all over the writing credits for all of those Fleetwood Mac songs written by Stevie nicks. He had to come up with something because all she brought him was half complete songs of lyrics and vocal harmonies she would sing them to. They stuck with her even when during her first tours with them she was a huge liability in concert. Copy "Rolling Stone Fleetwood Mac Clicks without Nicks" and paste into a search engine.

No Smiths?

I saw Nash and Crosby after this 'rift' and they were fine

Omg get over it 🤦🏾‍♀️, most of these artist are guys and they say women hold grudges

David Gilmour was Pink Floyd's singer, not Roger Waters.

ITS A SHAME ABOUT THE EAGLES AND KISS. BUT 1 DIRECTION??????

Geoff Tate and Queensryche

Roger Waters is so up himself

It's great when the world finally sees what an overrated bastard Crosby is. He's just glib and had good dope. He never wrote a good song (no he didn't write 8 Miles High) except with CSNY . Neil - 45 great songs, Steve Stills - 20, Crosby - Just watching
