15 Iconic Albums Made During the Band's Divorce

This and many albums from The Kinks were done during intense fights between brothers Ray and Dave Davies. Drummer Mick Avory was also involved in fights with Dave, with one particular incident where he knocked Davies out during a show. Davies had to get 16 stitches, and the incident banned them from doing shows in the US for a while.

Despite their chemistry, Simon and Garfunkel had a troubled relationship full of jealousy and fights. Neither felt comfortable with the other's creative control, and Simon felt that Garfunkel's acting career was a sign of disloyalty, among many other issues.

Fights between Roger Waters and David Gilmour are so famous that there's a Mortal Kombat 1 easter egg referencing their troubled relationship. They fought over creative control and other differences, and sources say the relationship was at its worst during the recording of this album.

John Fogerty's ego fueled struggles and disputes over songwriting, artistic direction, and even a legal battle for the rights to their songs that was just recently settled.

The one and only Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to drug issues and other confrontations with Tony Iommi.

Eddie Van Halen held different feuds throughout the band's history, and even fought David Lee Roth during a show. Sammy Hagar was also involved in a fight with Eddie, but the music had to keep going.

The Beatles' last album wasn't very well received, but it was the best the band could do under the circumstances. All members were already exploring their solo careers, and Paul McCartney and John Lennon couldn't stay in the same room for long.

The relationship between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher was never too good, and they reached a breaking point where there was no solution but breaking up. It's actually surprising that they made up 15 years later and are now touring around the world.

Dave Mustaine was fired from Metallica in 1983 after a series of feuds and even physical fights with frontman James Hetfield. Mustaine later founded Megadeth, and the rivalry kept going from a distance.

Axl Rose's ego disappointed band members and eroded their relationships over the years. He was very strict with scheduling, drug use, and many other things, and made everyone sign contracts that gave him the right to fire any band member whenever he pleased. In another crazy turn of events, part of the band reunited decades later and is touring around the world right now.

Every member of Fleetwood Mac was involved in some kind of creative or romantic conflict with someone else, which caused a lot of tension. Members were fired, relationships ended violently, and some shows felt awkward due to the palpable tension. But they never stopped creating amazing music.

After making Hotel California and rising to fame in a short time, tension began to pile up for the band, and everything exploded, you guessed it, during a performance. Their break-up is famous because they declared they'd get back together when hell freezes over. Years later, they reunited with an album and a tour titled “Hell Freezes Over."

Constant clashes between Ian Gillan and Richie Blackmore ended up with Gillan's departure in 1973. He came back years later, which prompted Blackmore's definitive outing in 1993.

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry fought during their first concert, which wasn't a good sign. Years later, the tension between them reached its limit, and Perry left the band temporarily. Of course, drug use and other issues were also part of their disputes over creative direction and control.

You probably don't know the names of the other two guys on The Police who aren't Sting. They felt that too when he was exploring his solo career and acting as the primary songwriter of the band. Things escalated with a lawsuit over alleged unpaid royalties.
