9:30 Coffee Break: Famous Beefs between Musicians
by Jill Riley and Sean McPherson
September 15, 2015
Earlier this week, tempers flared between Jack White and the Black Keys' Patrick Carney over an alleged altercation between the two musicians in a New York City bar.
It was the latest chapter in a feud between White and the Black Keys that dates back to 2013, when White argued with Carney's Black Keys partner Dan Auerbach.
Thankfully, Carney and White spoke on the phone yesterday and appear to have reconciled.
But the Black Keys and Jack White are not the first musicians to have a beef with one another. There have been plenty of beefs — or rivalries — between musicians through the years. What are the musical rivalries that have stood out for you? Let's assemble a playlist that puts them head to head.
