Don't think anyone's topping Mayhem in that department.

This band hasn’t gone away (because there’s too much money on the table) but they are in crisis.

Journey keyboardist asks judge to resolve deadlock with band’s lead guitarist

The latest in a series of legal disputes with band founder and lead guitarist Neal Schon, longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain is asking a Delaware judge to resolve a deadlock involving Freedom 2020, a company formed three years ago to oversee tour-related finances.

According to court filings, Schon is president of Freedom 2020, but he and Cain each holds a 50% stake in the company. In a petition filed last week, Cain said he and Schon “fundamentally disagree” on the management and operation of the company. He wants the court to appoint a custodian to act as an independent, deadlock-breaking director.

Cain says Schon’s desire to take a $1.5 million advance from promoter AEG Presents LLC to cover tour expenses, and his opposition to Cain’s proposal for a more modest advance of $500,000, has caused “a major rift.” He also accuses Schon of “exorbitant and wasteful spending” on hotels and airfare for band and crew members. Schon, for example, has ignored the company limit of $1,500 per night for hotel accommodations and has spent up to $10,000 per night for hotel rooms for him and his wife, according to Cain.

Cain also alleges that Schon allows crew members to stay in hotel rooms during tour stops in or near their home cities, and to fly in business class. Schon also has used the company credit card for personal expenses and incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs for private jets for himself, his wife and various crew members, according to Cain.

^ Nothing's worth that kind of shit. If I were either one of those two, I'd let the other buy me out for 20% of the gross from all future Journey tours. Hell, I might settle for 15% just to get away from the whole thing.

They are still paying Steve Perry (ex-singer) at 12.5% (rumoured).

And who knows what they actually gross after all expenses. They play pretty big places but it is as a co-headline. The revenues for this July’s tour with Def Leppard are over $30m.

Heard that one member of Genesis was travelling to the studio.

He saw another member travelling in the opposite direction & said 'where are you going?'.

He replied casually 'I've just left the band'.

Would it be too soon for me to come as Dead from Mayhem to the next TalkU2 office party?

Of course the Radioheads never did recover from their own amicable dissolution, especially not after Phil Selway emerged from the shadows of Thom and Johnny and started having hits of his own, such as:

'Spiritual Feces'
Necrotic Girlfriend
Maggot Jesus
Fool Scold

Pantera: Lead Singer unloads on lead guitarist in Interview. Fan shoots lead guitarist.
NWA: I dropped four niggas now I'm making all the dough
Fleetwood Mac: For decades, we have not been sure if they're together or not....
Van Halen: Because not once, but TWICE they had bad breakups. Hagar and Roth.
Sex Pistols: Cause when your manager insists on adding Sid Vicious to the band, what could possibly go wrong?


Honorable Mention: Oasis

Hall & Oates are in a major legal fight.

Not that I, or anyone else, gives a shit about them, because they suck.

I don't know the history of the band but after watching the Blondie induction into the HOF, it seems there's lots of bad blood between the original members.
