In all honesty, no one really knows how Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young<\/a> were ever considered a compatible band. They spent more time fighting than they did actually recording anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n Without wanting to blindly leap to the defence of Neil Young, who is perhaps one of the guiltiest parties on this front out of the whole four, it was quite rich that when he joined \u2013 and then unceremoniously left \u2013 the band, the rest of them each ganged up and blasted him for his supposedly staggering arrogance. You might suggest that while not entirely inaccurate, the call was largely coming from inside the house. None of the CSN lot could exactly get on their high horses for being any better. <\/p>\n As such, although David Crosby has every claim to label any of his former bandmates in the same way, there was one man in particular in the firing line who he considered far more inflammatory and aggravating than all the rest. The victim of his wrath was not Graham Nash or even Young, but Stephen Stills, whose \u201cgiant ego\u201d, Crosby argued, obscured the vision of everyone else in the band.\u00a0<\/p>\n Although he was quick to counter that their once fractious relationship did slowly improve over the years, only once age and distance had mellowed them, Crosby clearly had no qualms about letting loose on the flaws of her former bandmate, even when they were said with respect at their heart. <\/p>\n \u201cI used to give Stephen the stink eye every time he made a mistake or sang out of tune,\u201d he regretfully admitted. \u201cI was constantly at odds with him. Then I realised I care about the guy. I know he\u2019s not perfect and I know he\u2019s got a giant ego. I know all his good points and bad points. But I love him.\u201d<\/p>\n While it was nice to see a romance blossom despite their differences \u2013 something not often witnessed within the world of rock and roll<\/a> \u2013 it didn\u2019t escape the fact that, for a time, despite sharing the same quarters as part of the supergroup of the century, they really couldn\u2019t stand each other\u2019s guts. By the time the decades had wound on to reach the point of 2014, however, things were very different. The quartet may realistically have never shared the same stage again, but they did at least have a little appreciation for each other, even if it was feigned to be begrudging.\u00a0<\/p>\n
