Not a huge fan, pretty much lost interest after the 4th album and the lineup changes started happening but I thought the reasoning behind the (latest) break-up was kind of amusing:

AFTER 24 YEARS RICH ROBINSON SAYS THE BLACK CROWES ARE NO MORE
The Black Crowes, the highly influential, critically and commercially successful band has disbanded, per an announcement today from founding member Rich Robinson. Robinson, the group’s guitarist and songwriter, founded the band with his brother Chris in their hometown of Marietta, GA. Their first album, Shake Your Money Maker, yielded multiple hit singles and has been RIAA certified as a multiplatinum (over 5 million) seller. Their follow up, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is, likewise, multiplatinum and rose to #1 on Billboard’s Top 100 Album Chart. The group’s catalog also includes additional RIAA- certified releases, including the critically acclaimed Amorica, By Your Side and a live collaboration with Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page.
Rich Robinson released a statement concerning the band’s conclusion in which he states, "It is with great disappointment and regret that after having the privilege of writing and performing the music of The Black Crowes over the last 24 years, I find myself in the position of saying that the band has broken up."
His statement continues, "I hold my time with the Black Crowes with the utmost respect and sincerest appreciation. It is a huge swath of my life's body of work. I couldn't be more proud of what we accomplished and deeply moved by the relationships people created and maintained with my music. That alone is the greatest honor of being a musician. I love my brother and respect his talent but his present demand that I must give up my equal share of the band and that our drummer for 28 years and original partner, Steve Gorman, relinquish 100% of his share, reducing him to a salaried employee, is not something I could agree to."
Robinson concludes, "There are so many people who have helped and supported us along the way. I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of our fans, our friends behind the scenes, and to everyone who was a part of The Black Crowes.”
Buh Bye, Black Crows

If The Black Crowes are going to break up, I think it's only fair if the universe sees to it that Oasis gets back together.

Here's one of the new tunes- a collaberation with Johnny Marr.
I like the Black Crowes but haven't followed what they've been doing for many years.
I saw them a couple of times in the 90s and in 2001(i think).
Re: Buh Bye, Black Crows
that'll happen within 5 years, guaranteed. Way too much money involved to leave that aloneSix7Six7 wrote:If The Black Crowes are going to break up, I think it's only fair if the universe sees to it that Oasis gets back together.
Re: Buh Bye, Black Crows
So basically Chris is trying to pull an Axl eh? One of my favorite live shows, they would always bring it.Pandemonium wrote:Not a huge fan, pretty much lost interest after the 4th album and the lineup changes started happening but I thought the reasoning behind the (latest) break-up was kind of amusing:
