Bands With Brothers: From Love -- to Love to Hate

December 17th 2009 5:00PM


As Cain and Abel could tell you, it ain't always easy for famous siblings to get along. Between artistic temperaments, egos, money, fame and temptation, it's a wonder the bonds of brotherly love can ever survive rock 'n' roll. Here's a ranking of our favorite brother bands -- from saccharine-sweet bromance to stage-brawling near-fratricide.

You think the Hanson brothers couldn't get any more adorable? Well, this unreal level of brotherhood bonding puts most families to shame: At youngest brother Zac's wedding in 2006, eldest Isaac was best man, middle bro Taylor was a groomsman, Taylor's wife was a bridesmaid, and Taylor's son was the ring bearer.

Pantera/Damageplan

Your typical heavy-metal tough guys, Pantera co-founders Vinnie Paul and "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott were just big puppy dogs when it came to brotherhood. When a feud with singer Phil Anselmo neutered Pantera in 2003, they left to form Damageplan. When Dimebag was senselessly murdered onstage in 2004, Vinnie Paul's heart-rending eulogy said it all: "Dime will be missed more for his giving personality, charisma, caring for others, love and most of all his HEART!! Twice as big as the state of TEXAS!"
