Not Particularly Strange IRL Classic Rock Feuds

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

A Classic Rock That Fuckin’ Sucks spin-off thread…


well, if anyone was expecting the principal members of Pink Floyd to spend their twilight years burying grudges, I hate to disappoint you.

David Gilmour and Roger Waters are back on their bull crap again. It’s stemming from the David Gilmour Pink Floyd lineup recording their first new song in three decades to support the Ukrainian war efforts. This triggered alt left dingbat Roger Waters and Gilmour’s wife called him an antisemitic creep and now this…

Roger Waters Has Re-Recorded 'Dark Side' Without Pink Floyd

Roger Waters revealed that he'd re-recorded Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' in February 2023.

Between this and the Putin love, Roger Waters sure seems determined to make sure everyone takes David Gilmour’s side in their beef.

It takes work for someone to do something worse than The Final Cut.

Pink Floyd’s $500 Million Catalog Sale Is ‘Basically Dead’ — Or Is It?

Pink Floyd’s proposed $500 million sale of the rights to their iconic five-decade, multiplatinum recorded-music catalog is “basically dead” because the surviving band members “just can’t get along,…

David Gilmour and Nick Mason must love that Roger Waters is spending the 50th anniversary of DSotM parroting what he heard that day on The Jimmy Dore Show.

 

[Valeyard]

We got nothing for the 50th of Ummagumma and I think over time I enjoy that more. Syncs poorly with Wizard Of Oz but works well with ripoff Shirley Temple's The Blue Bird.

Yeah. Clapton WOULD sign this petition. Interesting Nick Mason signed it though.

Pink Floyd's Nick Mason backs Roger Waters on re-recording their album

Earlier this year, bassist-and-singer Roger, 79, revealed that he was creating his own new version of the iconic 1973 LP to mark its 50th anniversary this March.

Classic rock re-recordings that might not fucking suck.

Maybe that’s why he signed that petition.

That album is good imo

 

[Incandenza]

I'm all for praising divisive works of art and good on anyone who likes The Final Cut but JFC it's a goddamn turd.

Ann Wilson Recalls Heart's 'Painful' Tour With John Mellencamp

Ann Wilson recalled Heart's 'particularly painful nine months' touring with John Mellencamp in November 2023.

ultimateclassicrock.com

I wonder if John Mellencamp tried to fight Ann Wilson too.

(This headline is really kind of histrionic cause tour was just awkward cause Mellencamp was opening for Heart while Mellencamp was breaking out and Heart was crashing. I guess I'm feeding into it by posting it here.)

 

[Valeyard]

Mellencamp is intensely unlikable. Not that I think either Wilson sister is a ray of light or anything but I'm not going against them. "Magic Man" > "Pink Houses."

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Mellencamp just bragged about kicking the late Benjamin Orr’s ass and had a story about fighting with Gene Simmons where Gene didn’t seem like the unlikable one.

I like a lot of his music but he seems like a miserable SOB.

 

[Valeyard]

There's just always been something about him I never liked. Once I found Pat Benatar's "I Need A Lover" I officially didn't need him anymore.

Although "Peaceful World" is honestly one of the only tolerable 9/11 songs.

“Tony Iommi has been so supportive of me since my illness. Geezer Butler hasn’t given me one phone call": Ozzy Osbourne is gutted that his ex-Black Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler doesn't want to know him anymore

Ozzy Osbourne is far from impressed that Geezer Butler is ignoring him

www.loudersound.com

Brutal but not the good kind of brutal you normally associate with Sabbath.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Yeah but where does Bill Ward stand on this?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Ozzy said Bill Ward has called and checked in on him a few times.

Geezer has responded.

 

[Valeyard]

I always thought Geezer was the sane one so I kinda am with him.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Yeah if he genuinely made attempts that were unanswered then that's not on him.

Jelly Roll on attempting to fight The Black Keys: 'I'm embarrassed to say it's a true story'

Jelly Roll is reflecting on just how far he’s come after Alternative band, The Black Keys, reminded him of a turbulent interaction they had with one another back in 2010.

Steve Miller Band and now Jelly Roll…The Black Keys seem like they are picking names of their musical enemies out of a hat.

Ace Frehley Says He Can Sing Better Than Paul Stanley

Ace Frehley claimed he can sing and play guitar better than ex-bandmate Paul Stanley in a January 2024 interview.

ultimateclassicrock.com

Ace Frehley’s turn into classic rock’s Hulk Hogan is too good to get buried in the KISS thread. Literally nothing he says in this article is remotely true. It takes a lot to challenge Gene as the biggest liar in KISS World.
