The behind the Podcast, taking you deeper into classic rock's most timeless tunes. Here's your host, Janda. I'm Janda, and in this bonus episode of the behind the Song podcast, let's get down and dirty on 10 infamous feuds between rock stars. They were two of the greatest songwriting partners ever and were close with each other. But by the time the Beatles called it quits, John Lennon and Paul McCartney could not stand one another and didn't hesitate to call each other out in the press. And they immortalized their feelings for each other in songs, too. In 1971, McCartney released Too Many People, which was a pointed jab straight at Lennon for his newfound political activism, to which Lennon responded with the even more vicious how do youo Sleep? With lyrics that called back earlier Beatles songs like the Only Thing youg Done Was Yesterday just to make sure everybody knew exactly who he was singing about. And to make matters even more dramatic, George Harrison played slide guitar on that song, so it was pretty obvious who he stood with in this beef. Harrison and McCartney certainly had their own issues. During the sessions for the Beatles album Let It Be. Harrison had heard all he could stand from McCartney and his demands on what and how Harrison should play the songs, and so he quit the band. He did come back soon after, but after the Beatles broke up, Harrison said that his first solo album, All Things must pass, was three albums deep because McCartney insisted on using his songs, not Harrison's, on Beatles releases. So he had a backlog of songs that he'd been writing all along to finally release songs which never saw the light of day while he was in the Beatles. And of course, there was the whole rivalry between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, competing with each other for who's the best in the eyes of the fans. But just like the Beatles had their own inner squabbles, so did the Stones, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Beef with each other grew as the decades rolled on, to the point that they stopped even speaking to each other. It really started back in the 70s, when Richards Drug habit got out of control. Jagger began to hang out more and more with the Jet Set, and he took control of the band. After Richards came out of the darkest days of his addiction, he tried to wrestle some of the control he'd lost away from Jagger, but Jagger wasn't having it. And to add insult to injury, Jagger embarked on a solo career in the 80s, which Richards hated. He saw no need for any solo work outside of the Rolling Stones from any of the band members, let alone Mick Jagger. The Stones took a hiatus for a few years and then went back to work, even though the infighting continued. Keith Richards had some nasty things to say about Mick jagger in his 2010 autobiography, including how he slept with Jagger's girlfriend, Mary Ann Faithfull, back in the day. They've since buried the hatchet, and Richards has apologized for some of the things he wrote in his autobiography. But it took years for them to get civil again. There was just something in the water In Seattle in the 90s, grunge took over and became the explosive musical movement of the early 90s rock world because of Pacific Northwest bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. But Kurt Cobain did not appreciate being lumped in with Pearl Jam, even though some of the members of Pearl Jam came from Seattle bands that he loved and respected, like Green river and Mother Love Bone. Cobain called Pearl Jam false alternative macho metal. In an interview with Flipside magazine, after which Eddie Vedder contacted Cobain directly to smooth things out. Cobain later brushed the whole thing off, saying the feud was just made up nonsense. So whatever Vedder said to him clearly worked. Can you imagine being fired via facts? That's what allegedly happened to Allman Brothers guitarist the late Dickey Betts, but at one point he was the leader of the band. After Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident in 1971, Betts took the reins, a situation that continued for many years. But in 2000 he was forced out, which he said was due to his excessive drinking, and he got the notice not from an in person meeting, not even from a phone call, but from a faxed message. The late Greg Allman said in his 2012 autobiography that Betts was really difficult to work with. Luckily, the two of them were able to reconcile before Allman's passing in 2017. Betts passed in 2024. Given all we know now about how much Roger Waters and David Gilmore absolutely hate each other, it's a wonder that they were ever able to work together in Pink Floyd. Their partnership has always been a little bit lopsided. Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in 1968 to replace the band's co founder Syd Barrett, and as the years progressed, he and Waters struggled so much with one another over creative control that Waters left Pink Floyd in the mid-80s. When he did that, he started court proceedings to formally dissolve the band because he didn't believe they could continue without him. That assumption was wrong. Pink Floyd did go on without him, which drummer Nick Mason said really, quote, rankled Roger, end quote. Recently, Gilmore's wife Polly joined the fray, publicly calling him, among other things, a hypocritical megalomaniac. Gilmore backed her up, and at this point it doesn't seem likely that he and Waters will ever play together again. Twice as hard on There are a few famous brotherly beefs in rock and roll. Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis. Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks. And then there's the Robinson Brothers. Almost as soon as the Black Crows burst onto the charts in the 90s, singer Chris and guitarist Rich were in the public fighting. For starters, Chris got the band kicked off tours, opening up for Aerosmith and ZZ Top. Because of his wild behavior, they broke up, got back together again, broke up, made up, toured as a two piece as the Robinson Brothers and got the band back together again. Chris Robinson has said that they really don't like each other, but that they love each other. That's brotherly love. Metallica vs. Dave Mustaine, a legendary feud that may never end. When Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica in the early 80s, allegedly over his abusive behavior when he was drinking, he didn't take it well, and he still doesn't. He immediately said that his replacement, Kirk Hammett, wasn't a serious musician, and worse, he made jokes about sleeping with his girlfriend. Even after he started Megadeth. And through all of the success his own band has enjoyed since, he can't seem to let it go. Even though he and Metallica seem to have reconciled. It's true that Mustaine seems to squabble with just about everybody he comes into contact with. Besides Metallica, he's had issues with Pantera, Sarah Slayer, Fred Durst, his own management, and with the media in general. Van Halen really took drama to the next level. First, David Lee Roth went solo and blamed Eddie Van Halen's drug and alcohol addiction for that. Sammy Hagar took over as frontman and the band had another 10 years of rocking up the charts. But then he was out too. He says he was fired. The band said he quit. Then Diamond Dave was back in briefly, but that didn't last too long after he joked about Eddie Van Halen's hip replacement surgery at the MTV Awards in the mid-90s. Then Hagar rejoined in the mid-2000s, but that didn't work out, not least because Eddie was hitting the bottle at shows so much that it affected his playing at that time. Then David Lee Roth was back in, but bassist Michael Anthony was out, having made Eddie mad by using the Van Ha name while promoting his line of hot sauce. When Van Halen were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame in 2007, Hagar and Anthony were the only two who showed up after Eddie Van halen passed in 2020. Michael Anthony expressed regret that the two of them never made up. While EVH and Diamond Dave weren't on great terms at the time of his passing either, he and Sammy Hagar had long since buried the hatchet with each other. Helpless, Helpless, Helpless Neil Young and Stephen Stills have a long standing rivalry that goes back to their days together in Buffalo Springfield in the mid-60s. Stills has made fun of Young's singing voice on stage and has made comments about Young's battles with epilepsy. This animosity continued when Young joined Crosby, Stills and Nash in an on again, off again capacity over the years and as the decades rolled on. Some of the jabs Stills threw could be because Young was the one that grew to dominate as a solo artist. There's a mutual respect there, though. Neil Young has praised Stephen Stills many times as a singer and as a guitarist, saying that somehow the two of them could play lead guitar parts simultaneously and not get in each other's way, a fact that he called really rare. Well, I hope Neil Young will remember and finally, I can't mention feuds and Neil Young without mentioning the famous beef between Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd, a feud that spilled into the lyrics of Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama. When Young fired lyrical shots at the south on his song Southern man In 1970, it upset lots of people from the south, not least the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Then he put salt on the wound when he did the same thing in his song Alabama Two Years Later. that point, Ronnie Vanzant had heard enough and later told Rolling Stone we thought Neil was shooting all the ducks in order to kill one or two. Skynyrd's rebuttal in Sweet Home Alabama steps up for the south big time when they name check Young with the lyric I hope Neil Young will remember a Southern man don't need him around anyhow. For his part, Young got the memo and gained respect for Lynyrd Skynyrd in the process. He's said that Sweet Home Alabama is one of his favorite songs. This list could really go on and on. Bob Dylan famously didn't appreciate John Lennon's hero worship of him, and in particular thought that the Beatles Norwegian Wood was a rip off of his style. Kurt Cobain also hated Guns N Roses, who wanted Nirvana to open for them when they first burst onto the charts. That feud ended up in a public fight between Cobain and axl at the 1992 MTV Awards. These stories are all part of the intrigue of rock and roll. It's such a fine line between Creative 10, which can be constructive and destructive. Animosity, tempers flare, egos get bruised, and by the time we fans hear about it, it just makes the songs that much more interesting. So what other rock feuds have arrested your attention?
