Van Halen

Between his string of hits with the Doobie Brothers and his solo career, five-time Grammy winner Michael McDonald seemed to be everywhere in the early-'80s, but the songs that featured his distinctive voice only told part of the story -- he was also a busy songwriter whose list of credits included a surprising collaboration with Van Halen...

Producer Robert Lombard was abruptly fired before they completed the shoot.

He said he did the solo on the third radio single from 'Thriller' for free.

Rock 'n' roll is rife with band family feuds, but perhaps none received quite as much publicity or caused a bigger fan base rift.

The party sure seemed lively onstage. But behind the scenes, it was an entirely different story.
