8 Legendary Duos Who Hated Each Other's Guts

7. Mick Jagger & Keith Richards

Yes, The Rolling Stones are more than just Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, but it's impossible to deny that it's been their collaboration that has yielded about 99 percent of the Stones' musical output. When you hear the Stones, you're hearing the creativity of Jagger and Richards (sorry Ronnie and Charlie!). They're like brothers in a lot of ways. But brothers have a tendency to beat the hell out of each other - physically, mentally, emotionally - from time to time.

In Mick's own words, they've always had a very English way of dealing with their disagreements, which is to say they hold things inside a bit more than is probably healthy. And so when those issues eventually boil over, it causes a major rift. Anyone who has been together as Keith Richards and Mick Jagger have been, whether it be personally or professionally, are bound to fight. It would be insane if they didn't.

The reasons for their numerous squabbles are many and varied - girls, drugs, recording pressures, attempts at going solo, tell-all books - but the most impressive thing isn't the number of falling-outs Jagger and Richards have endured, it's the number of times they've been able to put it all aside for the sake of the band.
