'Clash of the Titans': 8 celebrity couples who can't stand each other ...
Содержание
Musicians are known for their outrageous behaviour, from throwing televisions out of hotel room windows to outlandish costumes that hit the headlines far more often than their music. However, if there's one thing in which stars across the musical spectrum have proven their superpowers, it's feuding!
From the ridiculously minor to the tragic and even deadly, in today's article we've compiled 8 of the most colourful scandals in the history of the music industry!
8. Exl Rose v. Kurt Cobain
At first, Exl Rose really respected both Cobain and Nirvana in general. But after Cobain mentioned in an interview that he didn't like Guns N Roses, Rose called him during one of his own concerts, saying a lot of nasty things about Kurt and his wife Courtney Love....
When the musicians eventually came face to face, they managed to remain polite. What can't be said about their girlfriends and bandmates, who got into an altercation right at the MTV Awards.
7. Noel Gallagher v Liam Gallagher
In fact, Oasis broke up when the Gallagher brothers found it difficult to work and even live together... And during the "separation" their negativity towards each other only grew... Noel accused Liam of laziness and arrogance, while Liam said that Noel was "arrogant", refusing to appear at events that, in his opinion, were beneath him....
6. Prince v. Michael Jackson
The feud between two of pop music's biggest idols actually started because of their shared talent. In 1982, Jackson's album slightly outperformed Prince's album in sales, leading the latter to release Purple Rain and causing Jackson to worry about losing his status as the king of pop.
Jackson even invited Prince to collaborate with him several times, but was refused both times... Prince then tried to apologise for his behaviour, but this led to Jackson calling him a "miser". The two never reconciled until his death....
5. Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West
The feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West is one of the most well-documented in pop music history! Mostly because it is still massively on display to this day, either on social media or publicly in front of thousands of people. And it all started with the infamous moment when West interrupted the singer's victory speech at the VMAs, saying that Beyoncé should have won instead.
Afterwards, they seemed to forget about the drama until West released an offensive song about Swift ...
4. Elton John versus Madonna
Elton John has never had serious problems with anyone, and his easy-going nature is half of what made him such a popular public figure. However, John's tendency to say exactly what's on his mind has often prevented him from getting along with other pop stars. Especially those who were easily offended.
John has called Madonna's Bond theme track "the worst Bond theme in history"! On top of that, he has repeatedly stated that the singer has had too many plastic surgeries on her lips, which apparently makes it difficult for her to sing properly....
3. Marilyn Manson versus My Chemical Romance.
Marilyn Manson never needed any competition to boost his presence in the headlines! However, that didn't stop him from taking a stab at the band My Chemical Romance when they were at the height of their popularity!
Manson called their performances "empty", and even more than that - he wrote a whole track about the guys! Of course, not in good faith....
In response, lead singer Gerard Way diplomatically stated that My Chemical Romance never received criticism that they had to worry about because it never came from anyone who mattered to them....
2. Kid Rock vs. Tommy Lee
The split between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee is one of the strongest and most violent on this list! And unlike the others, it has more to do with romance than any intellectual or musical differences.
In fact, model Pamela Anderson married and had children with Tommy Lee before marrying Kid Rock... However, during their divorce, the real "Santa Barbara" began between the trio! Accusations of stalking, cursing, threats - what not... This led to Lee intentionally jumping into Rock's seat while he was away at the VMAs, leading to a real fight during the live broadcast!
1. Tupac versus Biggie
The feud between Tupac and Biggie is undoubtedly the biggest in the history of the music industry, and also the deadliest... It also led to a nationwide rivalry between rap fans on both the east and west coasts. And it all started as an attempt at cooperation, not rivalry... But nothing good came of it.
It's worth adding that they released several diss tracks aimed at each other. In the end they were both shot dead a few months apart.....
