10 Bands Whose Members Had Major Beef With Each Other

It’s no secret that rock and roll is filled with sex, drugs -- and a lot of drama! While it may seem like the members of world’s biggest bands collaborate to release some of the greatest songs of all time, it turns out that they’ve often had their fair share of ups and downs. With so much time spent together in the studio and on the road, personalities can clash and a small disagreement can become a lifelong grudge. Unfortunately, it can ultimately lead to the demise of a band -- unless they’re able to work it out on the remix. Find out what happened between these band members. 1. Jane’s Addiction Things recently got heated between the members of Jane’s Addiction. It all came to a head in the middle of a September 2024 concert when singer Perry Farrell attempted to physically attack guitarist Dave Navarro and had to be restrained. According to Perry’s wife Etty, tensions had been mounting throughout the tour because Perry believed the band was playing too loud and were drowning out his vocals -- leaving him with tinnitus and a sore throat every night. During the concert, Etty says fans began complaining to Perry that they couldn’t hear him. After having some technical difficulties during a song, Perry tried to punch Dave. After being separated, bassist Eric Avery got involved and punched Perry in the stomach. Perry later released a statement, saying, “This weekend has been incredibly difficult, and after having the time and space to reflect, it is only right that I apologize to my bandmates, especially Dave Navarro, fans, family and friends for my actions during Friday’s show. Unfortunately, my breaking point resulted in inexcusable behavior, and I take full accountability for how I chose to handle the situation.” The following day, the band announced that they were taking “some time away as a group” and canceling the remainder of their tour. 2. Oasis Oasis is about to reunite for the first time in over a decade after Noel Gallagher walked away from his brother Liam and the rest of the band. But even before they parted ways, Noel and Liam had been beefing for ages, going all the way back to 1994 when the pair said they hated each other in an early interview with NME. Through the years, the brothers continued to hurl insults at each other, fighting and skipping out on shows. In 2009, Liam destroyed a dressing room with his brother’s guitar and Noel finally decided to quit the band. “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight,” he wrote on the band’s website. “I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” Despite parting ways, Noel and Liam continued to publicly insult each other in interviews and on social media. At one point, Liam even filed a libel lawsuit against Noel, which he dropped once Noel apologized. Over the past few years, the pair have continued to argue -- so it surprised fans when they announced they’d be reuniting for a tour in 2025. Only time will tell how things play out for the brothers. 3. Blink-182 The members of Blink-182 have had their ups and downs throughout the years. In 2005, personal issues drove them to a hiatus and at the time, they had no hopes of reuniting. It wasn’t until drummer Travis Barker’s tragic plane accident in 2008 that the trio were brought back together. “Up until that point, I had zero hope for Blink. It was something that I had really put behind me. My accident definitely made everyone think about things a little more clearly, especially me,” Travis told Daily Beast. “It’s horrible that it took something like that for everyone to wake up, but we realized, ‘Man, life’s short!’ We were fighting about some bulls--t and not talking, and it wasn’t anything to be fighting over.” While the group briefly reunited, they parted ways once again in 2015 when Tom DeLonge left the band. While there are discrepancies as to why Tom left the band, Travis and Mark Hoppus shared in a statement that Tom wanted to “work on his other non-musical endeavors.” Meanwhile Tom claimed he never actually quit -- which Travis and Mark later denied, adding that Tom never even took part in their album recording process. Over the next few years, Tom worked on building his company, To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, while Blink-182 toured with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. They ended up being brought back together in 2021 when Mark was diagnosed with cancer. In 2022, they officially reunited and started recording music together. 4. Pink Floyd Tensions among the members of Pink Floyd started very early on in their career. While Roger Waters served as the group’s principal lyricist and lead vocalist, driving their creative direction, he butted heads with the other members of the band. In 1985, he parted ways with the group and went on to file a lawsuit to legally dissolve Pink Floyd over their conti
