Musician On Musician Insults.

[Spox]

Musicians can be touchy and are sometimes not afraid to voice their opinions with regard to other musicians.

One which comes to mind, I think this was Chet Baker but I could be wrong. He was awarded something like Trumpet Player Of The Year and in response phoned Miles Davis and said that the award should have gone to him to which Davis replied that there were fifteen other trumpet players Baker had to phone before he got to him.

Any musician on musician insults come to mind?

Lionel Richie says his buds in the "Commodores" called him a "Saxophone Holder".

Faint praise, said with just the right whiff of condescension, one band to another: “We really like what you’re trying to do.”

A friend of mine once described a show as "the sound of a band doing their best."

The old quip about Ringo, after the question if he was the best drummer in the world, not even being "the best drummer in the Beatles" comes to mind, too.
