Hahaha same, I feel like it'd be a betrayal of some sort

Wrost wrost wrost

Am I the only one that voted Simeon and Garfunkle?

I haven't voted because, like Big3, I don't know what we're voting for. Is it the bitterest break up? Or the one we regret took place the most? Or the one we're most happy about?

It's so confusing :(

'Nastiest band' break up.

Someone killing themselves thus ending the band must be up there? Joy Division..

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).

I nominate a charminig bunch of lads that went by the name of MAYHEM... They were a norweigien black/death metal outfit.

Firstly their singer aptly named "Dead" commited suicide, upon discovering the body the Guitarist took photos of the corpse which later appeared on the cover of a bootlegged show, it was also alledged that he made a stew out of "Dead's" brain and made necklaces out of his skull fragments and gave them to other musicians he deemed worthy.

Flash forward a few years and you have the bassist murder the guitarist. I've heard two different accounts of why? The first and most hilarious is that the guitarist was murdered for wearing a white sweater thus shaming the "scene". Alternatetivly it Is said that the bassist thought the guitarist was going to kill him and film it, so he struck with a pre- emptive strike stabbing his band mate upwards of 20 times.

I'm not making this **** up. Google them for more wacky tales of debauchery.

the problem was i had to re do the thread because when i first did it i'd exceeded a 5 mins. time limit to add a poll so i couldn't call it 'bitterest break up' 'cause it wouldn't let me replicate a thread title. That's also why i had to rush type it

The stories and myths surrounding Mayhem are quite popular and fairly common knowledge on these boards, actually, but yeah - they have an interesting story. Although there's been changes in lineup, they're still present and active though. Did they ever really break up? Not criticizing your suggestion, just curious.

I'm gonna go with BJM, cause **** like this happened and on the same tour Anton got arrested for narcotics and ended up finishing the rest of the tour solo.
