You have to forget about pride and nationality with this thread. Rock music is essentially on two stages, American bands and British bands. Everyone else is a distant third. My thoughts were focused on the great British bands.

The public spats that we all hear about involve the British bands. The Beatles and all their issues lead the pack. The never ending saga of the Davies brothers of the Kinks. Gilmour and Waters of Pink Floyd. Ginger Baker threatening to never play on the same stage as Jack Bruce and wanting to punch his lights out. The list goes on...

Sure there are American band issues, but not as heavy the Brits. These are long simmering angry feuds. Is it an ego thing? Money? Stealing girlfriends or wives? And who is the loser here? All of us who love the music.

I have been told that British males tend to sweep things under the carpet rather than deal with their issues head on. Don't know if this really true?

Very true.

Any males, whatever nationality who doesn't? winking smiley

I wish British bands could get along as well as American bands such as The Beach Boys, The Byrds, Creedance Clearwater Revival & The Eagles.

American bands have their riffs too, but with the English, its compulsive. They are almost destined to have breakups.

I suppose it would be interesting to know the divorce rate in Britain. Maybe that would give us some insight to the relationships. Then again how do British men behave at soccer games? Fighting and yelling at each other or just good fun.

I thought this thread was going to be about Oasis and Blur.
..those UK bands at least had the good sense to not get along and then bow out.
US bands will go on and on and on and on; replace, replace, have sons and grandsons step in

Yeah, like those crazy Yanks in The Who.

oh...

British bands are the best everyone knows that and as far as some musicians who are "Goody two shoes " they're boring and their music usually is to smoking smiley

Well the Irish do-gooders are a helluva lot better than their (ironically, recently broken-up) US counterparts.

Maybe Michael Stipe will be a badass now...
