In this episode, you’ll hear hard rock, glam, and metal bands absolutely duke it out, both with rival bands and with themselves. We dig into legendary external feuds like Guns N' Roses vs Mötley Crüe, where Axl Rose publicly challenged Vince Neil to a fistfight, and Metallica vs Winger, highlighted by Lars Ulrich literally throwing darts at a Winger poster. We also cover industry power struggles like Skid Row vs Bon Jovi, where refusing to stay an opening act allegedly led to blacklisting and some very public trash talk.

The chaos doesn’t stop there, as plenty of bands turned on themselves in spectacular fashion. We break down Van Halen imploding across multiple eras, Dokken recording parts separately out of sheer hatred, and Ratt splintering into multiple touring versions while suing each other over the band name. You’ll also hear about long-running grudges involving Megadeth, internal dysfunction in KISS, and famously toxic relationships in bands like Enuff Z'Nuff—all proving that sometimes the biggest threat to a band’s survival isn’t critics or trends, but the people standing next to them onstage.

Of course, there's plenty of rock feuds we didn't get to in this episode and we're pretty sure YOU have an idea of what we could cover in future volumes. Let us know in the comments who's rivalry you'd like us to cover next.

We hope you enjoy Band Wars and SHARE with a friend.
