Come on, there hasn't been a good feud between two popular rock bands - and I'm talking one that people would fight over - since Metallica/Megadeth, and that started in the '80s! <BR/><BR/>Plus, all the ingredients are there. If you throw the REM/U2 feud into the mix the similarities are astounding...in all three cases, the feuding bands were playing the same type of music, but with significant stylistic differences, so there was already some tension about the direction the genre should take. Also, in each case they were pretty much going after the same people for their fan base - respectively, first and second generation metalheads, '80s kids that were fed up with glam but weren't into grunge yet since following independent music took a ton of effort back then, and Europhile hipsters who are basically the kind of people Say Anthing was making fun of in "Admit It!" Plus, all six of those bands both have sizable, dedicated fan bases that will defend them, and large numbers of people who think they're drastically overrated. All we need is for something to happen between the members of Muse and Radiohead, or their fans, to make them personally dislike each other...this could happen.Ekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15506916366899265732noreply@blogger.com
