His actions speak much louder than his words. The guy resented John and would talk shite about him publicly. Still, John's ultimate frick you to Anthony at SNL is an all time favorite SNL appearance to me.

Pink Floyd's biggest issue was the Gilmour and Waters were both arrogant as hell and their egos clashed.

But it’s not like the band was self-destructive. Layne Staley was a drug addict and slowly descended into abuse and then death. Jerry Cantrell was remarkably put together and was able to carry on the AIC legacy after Layne’s death without sullying the band’s name. OK, then Mike Starr died, too. But it’s not like there was infighting and dysfunction. They were just drug addicts who slowly died. That’s what drug addicts do. And AIC held it together long enough to make “Dirt”. And they were downright careerist compared to Mudhoney or Screaming Trees.

Yes, I can see that the problems were primarily (or solely) with Staley but it seemed to certainly have a negative effect on their progess even long before he died. Cantrell is awesome. IOW, if the standard is group/mutual dysfunction, then I wouldn't put AIC in there.

I'm not saying David Lee Roth isn't a twerp, but EVH is an all-time epic douchebag.

John used to like to play really dissonant intros into Under the Bridge and Anthony would throw fits. Well, Anthony was always a major prick to John. John apparently got fricked up and decided to screw with Anthony and started the song in a different key. Anthony threw a fit.


ETA: Sabotage is a significant misrepresentation.

Listening to it again, it sounds like the right key. He just embellished it a lot. The kick actually happened during their first song, which may have set John off.

It seems slowed down a lot, the intro until the drums come in. I wonder if that's part of the problem? Oh (as I watch it), the overall playing throughout and then the Wooooing toward the end.

You can even see Chad look over at Flea at one point like "WTF is John doing here?"

LA Guns has had about 74 members in two different bands called LA Guns. It's really hilarious
