10 Music Artists Who Absolutely Hate Each Other
7. The Ramones and Phil Spector
Just from looking at how they treat each other, the Ramones don't always strike you as the nicest of people to be around with. Though they have always cleaned up nice for interviews over the years, there have been more than a few times where Joey and Johnny Ramone have not been the best of friends onstage or off. There is one bit of common ground these punk stalwarts have though: they all seem to think Phil Spector sucks.
During the recording of their album End of the Century, it seemed like a huge get to have the man behind the Wall of Sound turning the knobs for your record. Once they actually got to the recording part of these things though, everyone realized this was going to be a horrible mistake, with Phil being strung out on drugs at the time and carrying around some of his firearms during the sessions.
There were even a few reports from Dee Dee Ramone that he held some of the band at gunpoint one night so they would listen to the song Baby I Love You to get it right on the final mix. As much as Phil Spector's magic touch seems like a band's dream, it only takes a few rough edges for a dream to start turning into a nightmare.
