10 Music Scandals That Put the Drummer Front and Center
00:04
Number 10 Bill Ward, Black Sabbath
00:08
The early Sabbath years felt like horror on tour, bandmates painted Bill Ward gold in
00:12
1972, nearly killing him.
00:15
From fiery pranks to legal fights, his survival remains legendary.
00:20
Number 9 Mike Portnoy, Dream Theater
00:24
After founding Dream Theater, Portnoy quit in 2010, seeking rest only to be replaced
00:29
before he could return.
00:31
Fans split for years, until 2023's miraculous reunion healed the rift.
00:36
Number 8 Mick Fleetwood, Fleetwood Mac
00:40
Fleetwood Mac's rumors era was emotional chaos.
00:43
Amid crumbling relationships, Mick Fleetwood anchored the storm, even through his own affair
00:48
with Nick's.
00:49
The heartbreak somehow produced Rock's most timeless album.
00:53
Number 7 Phil Collins, Genesis Led Zeppelin
00:57
Collins joined Led Zeppelin at Live Aid without rehearsal.
01:00
The result?
01:01
A disastrous performance so bad that it was buried from official releases.
01:06
Even legends stumble under impossible expectations.
01:09
Number 6 Dave Abruzzisi, Pearl Jam
01:13
Despite drumming through Pearl Jam's biggest albums, Abruzzisi was fired after opposing the
01:18
band's ticketmaster protest.
01:20
Two decades later, a Rock Hall invitation offered overdue acknowledgement and fragile reconciliation.
01:26
Number 5 Tony McCarroll, Oasis
01:31
After helping Oasis rise, McCarroll was ousted in 1995.
01:35
His 18 million pound lawsuit settled for 550,000 pounds, proof that early success doesn't guarantee
01:41
a permanent seat at Rock's table.
01:43
Number 4 Pete Best, The Beatles
01:47
Fired just before Beatlemania, Pete Best became music's cruelest what if.
01:52
Replaced by Ringo Starr, he missed immortality by inches but later found peace through perspective
01:58
and legacy.
02:00
Number 3 Mick Avery, The Kinks
02:03
Avery's clashes with Dave Davies were legendary, once knocking him out mid-show with a cymbal
02:08
stand.
02:09
Decades later, their eventual peace showed that even chaos can fuel creativity.
02:14
Number 2 Steven Adler, Guns N' Roses
02:19
Addiction cost Adler his place in Guns N' Roses after too many failed takes on Civil War.
02:25
His 2016 comeback proved redemption can still echo louder than fame.
02:30
Number 1 Lars Ulrich, Metallica
02:34
Criticized yet unshakable, Lars Ulrich endured every storm inside Metallica.
02:40
His ambition and business instinct made him indispensable, proof that survival in rock isn't just about
02:46
rhythm but resilience.
