The 30 Harshest Musician-on-Musician Insults in History

(xxp) jack white is just jon spencer for kids who've never heard of jon spencer

"zoro on doughnuts" is so cold

and has read zero rapper interviews

also i love the phrase "on doughnuts," which is only something that you would say if, like noel gallagher, you've spent your whole life snorting mounds of cocaine

whiney also otm

xp: exactly... as long as you're skinny, any addiction is fine!

MES on Scumford & Sons, but Boy George on Elton is a close second.

i'm a Costello fan and not a Morrissey fan, but still biases aside i love that quote

TEN RINGS ON LIKE A BASKETBALL PLAYER

http://popcultureplaypen.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/donuts.jpg

Twelve rings, I know, but you know how hard it is to GIS exactly ten donuts?

Zorro and RHCP ones made me giggle, Clapton one is most scathing. I don't get the 75% Jeremys one?

also, Elvis Costello calling Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant, n---er" makes all these "harsh" insults seem like fucking love letters

dunkin donuts kinda suck, but for some reason i'm mad that we don't have 'em here.

daaamn Rick James

still gotta go with Hanna here, though.

as far as actual anecdotes go, ME Smith's is the funniest

but yeah kinda inclined to go with Kathleen Hannah, cuz that is extra cold

"He'll never forgive God for not making him Angie Bowie."

LOL

"I'm forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?' And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers."

there's something about this one which just cracks me up.

but "zorro on doughnuts" probably takes it.

It's a great image but also essentially a fat joke.

haha yeah it's like nick cave is living in some existential play where he is forever near a stereo that's playing the red hot chili peppers

"zoro on doughnuts" is so cold

ha, i was just thinking that it's the least icy out of all of these, but the only one that made me lol. nick cave is my runner-up.

The donuts one is great but it took me a minute because I read it thinking donuts was code for something.

Hanna one is awesome because, well, she is awesome.

A lot of the other best ones already mentioned but I LOLd hard at this because he sounds so bitter:

Rick James on Prince: "A little short ego-ed fucker who I had a feeling didn't like people of his own race and wanted to be white and taller."

yeah there was some bad blood because of Prince upstaging Rick on a tour

Reznor's 'Marilyn Manson is not a nice person' quite is like uh duh dude

samuel beckett's the uplift mofo party plan

also lol: Kurt loathed HIM more than anyone else (except a journalist)

lynn hirschberg?

also, Elvis Costello calling Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant, n---er" makes all these "harsh" insults seem like fucking love letters

what is this about

he got drunk one night after a gig in ohio and was mouthing off to classic rock dudes because he was a british tyro with an attitude and shit got out of hand

Wanted to vote Mark E. Smth but Ian Brown about Bono otm.

xp: this is circa armed forces, so obviously his career bounced back

http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20073464,00.html

there's some really good coverage of it in the armed forces 33 1/3 book which i wholeheartedly recommend in general

dag

i couldn't imagine the words "Elvis Costello" being in the People magazine of today unless he was suddenly raising some shitty octuplets and filming it for VH1 Classic

"Elvis Costello, 24," was also kind of ._.

hmmm you have not looked at People magazine recently have you, Whiney

don't blame the octuplets, man. they didn't ask to be born.

I have?

If this list included Miles Davis calling Steve Miller a "non-playing motherfucker" with "only two sorry-ass albums," I would've voted for that.

oh wow this week's issue: dumb reality TV bullshit for sad suburban sub-literates, ie, exactly like i was saying

kids he had with Krall got a story, there are several features from the 2000s written about him

um dude it's not as if it was publishing "frank sinatra has a cold" shit in 1979 either

it's sick what elvis costello is making those young girls do >:(

I'm not gonna stick up for the quality journalism of People magazine but Elvis Costello = "bullshit for sad suburban sub-literates" at this point. he is well-known, he's a familiar face, he's been in Austin Powers, knocked up Diana Krall, is always doing middlebrow collabs, putting out albums for the generation that still buys CDs etc.

2002 - feature on marrying Diana Krall
2004 - review: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20145535,00.html
2006 - feature on having twins

the ones that made me dislike the speaker (even) more: aguilera, weller

here's a review he was mentioned in from this year

Add Lucinda Williams to the list of life's blessings that should be counted on the touching title track of her new album. Indeed, the singer-songwriter shows no signs of slowing the creative roll she has been on since 2007's West. Her latest, coproduced by Grammy winner Don Was, finds the tough-voiced Williams in a tender mood on ballads like the sweetly comforting "Born to Be Loved" and "Copenhagen," an elegy for her late manager. But another death-a friend's suicide-drives her into angry rocker mode on "Seeing Black," one of three cuts endowed with Elvis Costello on electric guitar.

except he dated liza richardson

lex charging towards rollins after a google image search (xpost)

I can't remember where I read it, but one of my favourite quotes ever was Randy Newman on Rattle & Hum: "Black people love U2!"

ew

Love on Grohl kind of reads like a M*rissa post

Not to dwell on something said one hundred and fifty years ago but...this idea that British people are pale, miserable and sickly (i.e. "gay") and don't listen to James Brown was kind of tiresome at the time.

i don't think Rollins was speaking about "British people"

he was singing about a gay bloke who wrote a lot of songs about being pale, miserable and sickly tho

I'd like to hear a Rollins song written from the point of view of Morrissey after taking some Vitamin C and getting some sun.

still love roth's clash diss - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbdMvOwf22M

Please, I have nothing against Rollins, I often respect him, but I could probably find a quote somewhere about the lame British people and their homosexual sickly bands!

i could probably make one up if that wd help

am I right about morrissey being "asexual" though? I had a friend who worked security detail on moz's hotel room after a merriweather show in the early 1990s, and he reported that morrissey "only wanted hugs".

Morrissey used to make that claim on the reg iirc, doesn't mean it was true. Always read it as code for "unwilling to come out yet to the notoriously open and tolerant indie boy community"

lol, yeah

i knew so many chicks that invested alot of hope in that asexual claim

still love roth's clash diss -

Christ, that was interminable. "Who likes rock 'n' roll?!" Um, we do. Any chance you'll be playing some in the next 20 minutes or so?

Richey Edwards on Slowdive: "We hate Slowdive more than we hate Hitler."

how the hell were slowdive polarizing to anything ever?

think he might have been going for an 'unexpected angle'

everyone probably expected him to hate Phil Collins the most but he came right out of leftfield!!

also: when, in the estimation of you guys, did 'worse than Hitler' become a thing that people said in the way Richey is using it here?

Slowdive hate is down to the NME's shoegaze coverage and Richey deciding they were a bunch of apolitical schnorrers

When Wayne Coyne said everyone he'd met in showbiz was pretty cool, except for Richard Ashcroft who was a massive dick, I thought ok, Wyane Coyne is a super nice guy and Richard Ashcroft is obviously a massive dick. When he said Arcade Fire were pricks I thought that was unexpected, but he's a super nice guy so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If I hear him mouth off about one more rock star though...

everything about that video was rock n roll dawg

When I met Richard Ashcroft he was super-friendly & shared his spliff & kicked a soccer ball around w/ my friends & I. Of course, that was back in the days when Verve were a space-rock band & RA had not yet decided that he was the rock jesus.

(RA is clearly not the rock jesus)

(who is the rock jesus)

(jesus jesus)

(jesus)

that Beck "attack" is like the limpest, weakest attack ever and Beck hardly even seems phased by it

well yeah, but i was just offering it up as more evidence of Coyne running off at the mouth about other musicians (in this case someone he did a whole tour playing in the backing band for)
