how about Jane's Addiction?

according to published reports Perry Farrell decided to wait until they were in the contract signing meeting (not negotiations) to announce to the band that where the royalties for the band are split between lyrics and music and he was the sole lyricist he should get that 50% of the royalties entirely and the other 50% should be split between the 4 band members since he also helped write some of the music. it prompted Dave Navarro to wear a 12.5 shirt for their first big show as a major label band.

... that's how the band STARTED.

suffice to say the stress and tension only escalated from there. drug overdoses and on-stage fist fights between band members lead to an inevitable implosion just as they were starting to really peak within the mainstream (they were the band - well, Perry F - that started Lolapalooza after all).
