Many bands and solo artists have criticised their fellow artists throughout the years.

What are your favourite ever insults and criticisms from one music act to another.

Here's some of my favourites.

1. Elvis Costello discussing Morrissey

"Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.

2. Talking about Morrissey, his comment on our own little Prince made me laugh

"whenever I hear Prince's music I ALWAYS think of overweight women clad in Spandex sweating profusely, trying to shed those excess pounds by pumping away to some wretched work out tape filled with Prince's music".


Tell us some of your favourite music put downs and bitchy comments.

Rick James said this about Prince in his autobiography:

"...little short ego'd fucker who I had a feeling didn't like people of his own race and wanted to be white and taller."

"His whole demeanor was like that of a short, uppity white boy."

"At the end of his set he'd take off his trench coat and he'd be wearing little girl's bloomers."

Lennon attacked ex-writing partner Paul McCartney on "How Do You Sleep", a track from his Imagine album:

Sample lyric: "The sound you make is muzak to my ears/you must have learnt something in all those years."

In the late 70s,people would often see Millie Jackson and assume that it was Donna Summer.This infuriated Millie,who said:


"Everytime I change my hairstyle,she changes hers.What people don't know about her is...she's short,has a wide can (butt) and big teeth"

"You must become a prince before you're king anyway ."

oh SNAP!!

James: "Barry White!"
Band mate: "Barry who?"

-- "Get Up Offa That Thang (Release the Pressure)" - James Brown ft. the JB's

Morrissey after losing a lawsuit regarding songwriting credits to the drummer of The Smiths:

"I wish him the very worst of luck for the rest of his life".

Tears for Fears Roland Orzabal about his then ex-music partner Curt Smith

"Fish Out of Water"

You always said, You were the compassionate one"
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all you high class friends, you think, you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face

With all your cigarettes and fancy cares
You ain't a clue who or what your are

You're dreaming your life away.


Ouch!!

You wear that samurai sword on the side
I told all my friends and we all just died
I laughed so hard that my face turned blue
Why be a M.C.? You should learn kung fu

"If Faith had twins, she'll probably have Two-Pacs
Get it? Tu-pac's?"

"Plus I give head better than you
My pussy stay wetter than you
Fuck better than you
I dedicate this song to ya'
Like R. Kelly, and them twin Pac's in 'ya belly!"

That's Kim right?

Timmy84 said:

Of course, who else would relish at their superiority to perform such classy acts?

IdentityCrisis said:

True.

"Front Line Assembly is a textbook case of a band that...I can't listen to a fucking song, let alone an album. Just monotonous, boring, uninspired bullshit." - Trent Reznor, on FLA

"Whatever Trent Reznor says, basically I think he's an absolute asshole himself. He has these pictures where he's posing and I swear he looks like Marc Almond. And I think anyone who looks like that should be careful what they say about other people. He's got this see-through blouse on and he's got his hands up in the air like he's praying towards something. Maybe he's praying that I won't run into him?" - Bill Leeb (of FLA), on Trent Reznor

Granted, I respect Trent as a decent business man in the music industry. But in a war of words, he got OWNED by Bill Leeb.
