Taken during a break between rounds
What do these three bands have in common, other than kicking arena-rock arse?
They all feature long-running feuds between their two key members.
Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey have been at each other since the earliest days of The Who. Pete, it would seem, has always been pissed off because Roger has pulled all the chicks while singing songs Pete wrote. Worked out OK for them — the latest stop on their path to rock immortality is the halftime slot at this year’s Super Bowl.
Steven Tyler quit Aerosmith! Joe Perry doesn’t care! Wait, Steven Tyler’s back in the band! Three stories in one! These guys haven’t stayed on top for 30+ years by being stupid.
Likewise for Oasis, in which brothers Noel (with the eyebrows and the guitar) and Liam (the good-looking one what used to shag Patsy Kensit) continually take the piss out of each other backstage, onstage and in the press. And sell a lot of records in the process.
We sense a theme…
