Guess I could’ve used “band members” and “hate” for my search tags instead of “bandfights”. Good thread, btw. To comment on some of those posts: > [@Band members who hate each other](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/band-members-who-hate-each-other/690839/15): > > I think it would probably be easier to list the bands whose members got along well. Got a pretty good chuckle (and so true, too) from that. > [@Band members who hate each other](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/band-members-who-hate-each-other/690839/12): > > _Everybody_ hated Blackmore. I heard that he’d fire members by setting on fire the beds they were sleeping in at the time. Yeah, apparently he tried to rule Deep Purple with an iron fist. > [@Band members who hate each other](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/band-members-who-hate-each-other/690839/53): > > Metallica’s management hired [Phil Towle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Towle) as a performance enhancement coach, but he also served as a mediator between feuding members.
