Did You Know?
Greatest rock feuds of all time:
* Simon and Garfunkel: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's rocky relationship hit a low point in the mid-1980s when Simon erased Garfunkel's vocals from a planned reunion disc.
* The Beatles/John Lennon-Paul McCartney: When the Beatles split in 1970, Lennon and McCartney began feuding in the press, but they saved the harshest words for songs. "The freaks were right when they said you were dead," Lennon sang in "How Do You Sleep.”
* The Rolling Stones/Mick Jagger-Keith Richards: Jagger and Richards' long-dormant feud flared up with the publication last year of Keith's memoir, Life, in which he mocked Jagger's "tiny dodger".
* Pink Floyd/David Gilmour-Roger Waters: In 1987, Waters toured separately from the rest of Pink Floyd. The group went to court over the rights to the band's name. "That's my pig [on their stage]," he said, referring to the props for the Wall tour.
* Guns N' Roses/Axl Rose-Slash: Axl Rose hasn't had any kind words for Slash since the original Guns N' Roses line-up dissolved in the mid 1990s, but he was harsher than ever before in a 2009 interview. "Personally I consider Slash a cancer," he said.
