The Good, the Bad and the Gallaghers

There’s healthy sibling rivalry and then there’s the Gallaghers. There will always be arguments and fights amongst band members, but the Gallaghers always take theirs public and to a whole new level of diabolical.

Other bands have suffered due to siblings out to get one another but they seem mild compared to Oasis. There was the Bee Gees and the fighting between Barry and Robin Gibb (Brothers Gibb, get it?) resulted in Robin leaving the band for a year. The Beach Boys kept it in the family and consisted of three brothers and a cousin. Most of the tension was caused by Brian Wilson’s drug use and mental illnesses but that didn’t stop Mike Love from taking him to court in 2005.

Liam and Noel Gallagher even have a song called Sibling Rivalry. Noel has broken Liam’s foot, Liam has changed song lyrics, cancelled shows and the last fight that caused Noel to leave was Liam wielding a guitar like a weapon. Maybe Noel deserved it but don’t take it out on an innocent guitar! And then of course Liam recently called Noel a little bitch. Even though the brothers split ways in 2009 we’re sure there will be more fights coming in the future, hopefully accompanied by some excellent music.
