these fights make music headlines
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
music feuds and rivalries
for this list we’re looking at feuds and
rivalries in the pop rock and heavy
metal categories we’ve excluded hip hop
rap R&B and related genres because there
are so many we could make another list
winch’s what we did number 10 Neil Young
vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd
when Neil Young attacked southern us
racism with his lyrics southern rockers
Lynyrd Skynyrd took offense they
responded with the song Sweet Home
Alabama
in which they sang about the
singer-songwriter and how a southern men
don’t need him around any of
didn’t progress much more than that
though as the two artists subsequently
supported one another’s work and even
sang each other songs and concert
number nine mr. bungle vs. Red Hot Chili
Peppers
this beef between Anthony Kiedis and
Mike Patton began after the Chili
Peppers Maine men felt the faith no more
and mr. bungle frontmen was copping his
style
in order to appease fetuses anger and
further differentiate the artists mr.
bungles record label moved their third
albums released so that it wouldn’t drop
beside our HCPs Californication fetus
then had mr. bungle removed from several
Festival tour dates which prompted them
to mock the Chili Peppers at a show
number eight Courtney Love versus Dave
Grohl
you didn’t get kicked out of a band by
him like Dave he did go see the Foo
Fighters and do that shit known for her
on stage screaming fits and offstage
drug binges Courtney Love is also famous
for throwing things at celebrities
stripping in public and blasting people
online great we’ll leave now you worst
of all is her estrangement from her
daughter and fighting with former
Nirvana members while she’s never had a
friendly relationship with Dave Grohl
her Twitter accusation that he hit on
Francis beam further strain things
between the three and cemented her
trainwreck status
number seven
Madonna versus Lady gaga
Oh Madonna has traded barbs with Elton
John it’s her ongoing rivalry with
Mother Monster that’s most often cited
the Lady Gaga has admitted the queen of
pop influences her it’s hard to deny the
similarities in their music style and
performances
it feels reductive after Madonna called
Gaga’s Born This Way reductive the
younger artist made a furious rent in
NME that sparked controversy with its
foul language number six
Kid Rock versus Tommy Lee he both been
married to Pamela Anderson and both
indulged in the sex drugs and rock and
roll lifestyle it’s not that shocking to
discover that Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee
and Kid Rock have also exchanged verbal
and physical blows after some trash
talking at the 2007 VMAs hit Rock
allegedly threw the first punch and the
two eventually had to be separated by
security number five Guns N’Roses versus
nirvana
while he’s charismatic and energetic Axl
Rose is equally known for his big mouth
and his fighting with his own band mates
as well as bands like Motley Crue and
poison however it’s his feud with
Nirvana that lands here after the grunge
rockers refused to tour with the most
dangerous band in the world they
exchanged fighting words at the 1992
VMAs Axl even told Kurt Cobain to keep
Courtney Love in line me what that beat
he said you better keep your wife shut
or I’m gonna take you to the pavement
number 4 paul mccartney versus michael
jackson maca and MJ may have duetted
together in the early 80s but their
friendship later turned sour after the
former Biel told the King of Pop that
lots of money could be made buying music
catalogs so I said for business you
ought to think about music publishing
Michael bought a TV music and became
owner of the majority of the Fab Four
songs and he’d say I’m gonna get your
record you know I’m gonna get no years
ago I’m gonna get your songs I’m gonna
buy your songs that’s it love it you
know I thought it’s a joke Jackson may
have gotten richer thanks to the deal
but his relationship with McCartney is
never the same
number three Britney Spears versus
Christina Aguilera it’s not hard to
compare these pop princesses
they were both Mouseketeers they both
started in bubblegum pop both won
Grammys and both are uber successful
have kids and were reality show judges
it started off as friends but the
media’s been eager to pit them as
enemies comparing their ex-boyfriends
looks and music even this long after
they hit big they’re still asked about
each other during interviews number two
Oasis versus blur
moisés had already been making news for
their in band fights when the British
press pitted them against blur
both groups released new singles today
the Battle of Britpop saw blurs country
house outselling Oasis’s role with it
and the band’s management chiming in to
defend their clients
Media also contrasted Oasis’s Manchester
origins and blue-collar background with
blurs middle-class London upbringing but
it was Noel Gallagher’s declaration that
blur members should catch AIDS and die
that really shocked the masses
number one dave mustaine versus
Metallica
picked out of Metallica for his bad
behavior and substance abuse Dave
Mustaine vowed to create a faster and
heavier band with Megadeth though they
quickly became one of thrash metals big
for Mustaine continued to trash his
former band and his fans went along for
the ride
Metallica is some kind of monster
documentary added fuel to the fire as
the band’s continued to trade insults
for several years I watched people
around the world say what a great guitar
player Kirk is and what a piece of shit
I am you agree with our list if you
