10 Biggest Rock Music Feuds Of The 21st Century So Far
10. The Killers And The Bravery
You've all heard of The Killers, right?
Brandon Flowers and his delightful bunch of Vegas heartthrobs are among the biggest bands in the world, having risen to stardom in the early 2000s with songs like Somebody Told Me, When You Were Young, and Mr. Brightside.
But what about The Bravery? You may only have heard of them through the lens of Mr. Flowers slagging them off.
The Bravery are a New York group who formed in 2003. They released three albums before originally splitting up in 2011, only to reunite in 2021.
Flowers went after the band following their breakthrough hit An Honest Mistake, which he said sounded way too similar to his own music. He claimed that were only signed to their label because of The Killers' success and was basically just a bit nasty with no real provocation.
He has since apologised for his harsh words, claiming that his idolisation of Oasis prompted him to talk smack about his rivals, but his outburst caused more than a bit of controversy at the time.
Also, it's easy to be humble when your band stands the test of time and the other one doesn't.
