Don't know about you....

No Dinosaur Jr "breaking up" and reforming with Lou Barlow?

I'm surprised that Roger Waters didn't make the list.

Obviously Frank Black was ripping off Phil Collins.

Glitchwerks: Obviously Frank Black was ripping off Phil Collins.

he does seem to have the invisible touch

Layne Staley slowly killing himself.

Power Sword pushing their singer down the stairs and leaving town.

I'm surprised David Gilmour didn't make the list.

IrieTom: I'm surprised that Roger Waters didn't make the list.

It's a list of passive/agressive moments. Waters/Gilmore is more of a "i hate your farking face" moment.

Ike and Tina didn't make the list?

titwrench: Ike and Tina didn't make the list?

That's not exactly a passive-aggressive thing, just like Waters/Gilmore.

Here's what Wiki says:

Passive-aggressive behavior is passive, sometimes obstructionist resistance to following through with expectations in interpersonal or occupational situations. It can manifest itself as learned helplessness, procrastination, stubbornness, resentment, sullenness, or deliberate/repeated failure to accomplish requested tasks for which one is (often explicitly) responsible. It is a defense mechanism, and (more often than not) only partly conscious. For example a worker asked to organize a meeting might happily agree, but will then take so long on each task in the process and offer excuses such as calls not being returned or that the computer is too slow, that things aren't ready when the meeting is due to start. A colleague is forced to hurriedly complete the task, or the meeting is postponed.

Whooping up on people is not passive-aggressive. It's just aggressive.

To be fair, I think Lou got the message when J allegedly smashed him in the back of the head with a guitar.

Would making necklaces out of bits of your lead singer's skull after he commits shotgun suicide, then being stabbed to death by the band's bassist, count as passive or aggressive?

How about Warren Zevon's entire career?



/Read "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead." WZ was a messed up dude.

ha, I was going to add Mayhem to the list....

FTA: Frank Black dissolved his iconic band in the summer of 1992 the most impersonal way possible (pre-email, that is) - a written note. "I just wrote a fax and sent it and just skipped out without so much as an explanation, as I recall,"

You might say he left with no 'bye'; no 'aloha'.

/wow I'm really reaching here.

No INXS and their "well, we really didn't kick you out but since you said we did we're kicking you out" to whatshisname?

What about Green Day and Operation Ivy effectively destroying Lookout Records by seizing control of their back albums?

/granted, it was deserved

No mention of Metalica/Mustain?
/worthless

So would overdosing/suicide be considered passive-aggressive ways of breaking up a band?

Are you suggesting they don't just wanna get along?

No mention of [insert band name here]'s feud with [insert band member here]??
FORSOOTH!

I heard Kim Deal is single and lives in Dayton with her parents.

What about Streetlight Manifesto re-recording the Catch-22 album Keasby Nights?


/granted, the majority of Catch-22 is in Streetlight, but still

Wasn't he still Black Francis in the Pixies days?

CarnySaur: So would overdosing/suicide be considered passive-aggressive ways of breaking up a band?

Yes.

EL_FABREZ: I heard Kim Deal is single and lives in Dayton with her parents.

I think her mom has alzheimers.

What did you want him to do? Gouge away at their broken faces?

/come on 5:00...

Why haven't the Zappa fans pointed out the Parental Advisory sticker on his all-instrumental album after he vehemently opposed such a system? For shame, you dudes are slipping.

It was sarcasm

forgot about that, thats a great one. maybe the best. could only be topped if they put a parental advisory on the yellow shark or fz with the lso.

I think Sharon and Ozzy replacing the original rhythm tracks on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman just to screw over Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake should be included.

Really... screwing up two classic albums just because you don't like the guys who played on 'em anymore?

Frank Black?


hot!

It's hard to tell sometimes. I used to have a reliable meter, but Fark pretty much broke it.

I'll see your Pink Floyd and Wikipedia and raise you...Syd Barrett's "Have You Got It Yet?"

From Wikipedia

Barrett's unpredictable behaviour at the time and idiosyncratic sense of humour combined to create a song that, initially, seemed like an ordinary Barrett tune. However, as soon as the others attempted to join in and learn the song, Barrett changed the melodies and structure, making it impossible for the others to follow, while singing the chorus "Have you got it yet?" This would be his last attempt to write material for Pink Floyd before leaving the band.

"Screw you guys, I'm going solo."

Ian Curtis ftw.
