Top 3 acrimonious band splits.

3. Sisters of Mercy - dragged on forever, lots of petty squabbles.

4. The Smiths - Can't say I don't find Morrisey being stiched up amusing.

5. The Loft - Surely no-one can beat splitting up live on stage?

the fall the fall the fall the fall

opps thats 4 already

Had to laugh when I opened this thread and there was a picture of Digital at the top

Smashing Pumpkins. The new of their break-up was announced in the morning on Fox news back in 2000. I was in high school at the time and a kid I knew who liked SP as much as I do told me, "Did you know SP broke up this morning?" and I was like, "WTF? That just came out of nowhere."

Black Sabbath Megadeth Stone Roses

The Stone Roses The Stone Roses The Stone Roses

Pink Floyd The Jam The Sisters of Mercy

Culture Club Spice Girls New Order

Indeed!

There was an Italian heavy metal band (into satanism and all that crap) who murdered their own singer. A google reveals they were called 'beasts of satan'. I think that is probably a pretty extreme way to break up.

News report google turns up ends "After killing the two teenagers, the Satanic band pushed their lifeless bodies into a pit and urinated on them. " Which makes Hookys blog posting seem kind of innocuous really.

Pink Floyd Smiths Stone Temple Pilots

Dead Kennedys The Smiths Pink Floyd

especially acrimonious for U.S tours...

the reunion gig for the damn Rock & Roll Hall of Fame notwithstanding, I seriously doubt Talking Heads will ever get back together in any way, shape or form.

Dead Kennedys for number three on my list.

:) What? At least they still make music and perform, plus they do need a bassist. Trevor Horn does all bass work for them nowadays.

sorry mate but hooky was not born to play with the Pet Shop Boys....wait, but if he'll play with Robbie Williams why PSB not??

i'd prefer 1000 times PSB

Saw Stump split up onstage at the Electric Ballroom in Camden. They apparently just decided during the encore.

Also, Black Dog i think split up at a Brixton Megadog, and came onstage announcing themselves as 'Plaid'.

Hardly acrimonious, surely?.. announcing they were splitting AFTER a last album, and big farewell tour

Well I thought this was about what split up made you sad... And that was one... Acrimonious is not in my school english vocabulary .
