Modern Rock Feuds
There are some people who just can\u2019t get along\u2026it could be the result of politics, religion, philophies, property, honour, a personal slight, a perceived insult, or\u2014well, a million things, really\u2026\n\nThe most famous feud in history might be the Hatfield\u2019s and the McCoy\u2019s who fought each other along the border between Kentucky and West Virginia in the late 1800s\u2026it started over a hog\u2026did it belong to Floyd Hatfield or Randolph McCoy?...in the end more than a dozen people were killed on both sides of the feud, largely over a pig\u2026\n\nHere\u2019s something a little more relatable\u2026German brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler co-founded a shoe company in their mother\u2019s basement\u2026when U.S. sprinter Jesse Ownes used their shoes for the 1936 Berlin Olympics, sales blew up\u2026\n\nBut the brothers couldn\u2019t deal with the success and kept fighting and fighting and fighting\u2026finally, in 1948, they couldn\u2019t take it anymore and the company split in two\u2026Adolf called his company \u201cAdidas\u201d\u2026Rudolf named his \u201cPuma\u201d\u2026\n\n\xa0\n\nAnd this is a good one\u2026R2D2 and C3PO never liked each other\u2026Anthony Daniels (C3PO) was a classical trained actor and never really like the fact that he had to play this robot\u2026meanwhile, Kenny Baker, the little guy inside R2D2 was a circus performer\u2026Daniels never, ever let Baker forget that he\u2019d never been in the same league as him\u2026\n\nAnd that\u2019s just one of many different feuds to be found in the performer arts\u2026when artistic types have a beef, it can get very, very weird\u2026\n\nThe Beatles vs. The Stones (although that was a manufactured fight\u2026they were actually very good friends\u2026but after the Beatles broke up, Paul and John scrapped a lot in the media\u2026Ray and Dave Davies in The Kinks\u2026no love lost there\u2026David Gilmour vs. Roger Waters in Pink Floyd\u2026Brian Love and Mike Wilson in The Beach Boys\u2026\n\nAnd think of all the rap beefs\u2026Biggie vs. Tupac, Kanye vs. Drake, Nas vs. Jay-Z\u2026that list is endless\u2026\n\nBut what about more contemporary rock feuds, fights that have happened over the last couple of decades?...thanks for asking because here they come.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
