Let's keep in kind that LROOE was over 5 years ago, and Bill only saw them for that brief window of time. Time heals all wounds, and as they've gotten older, they seem to roll with the punches a bit better, in tern of petty squabbling.

I think the process of putting together an album is stressful, even for the best and closest of bandmates. So tension and conflict are common for album productions, and probably doubled when you're tackling a double album, which LROOE basically was. And bless them, these guys are perfectionists, which is a blessing and a curse. Like for "The Long Run," I think when time stretches out and things get too drawn out, tempers flare. They're passionate guys and their demand for quality may get the best of them. It's not like its "fighting for fighting's sake." It's all about the music. I think they need to set time deadlines for doing albums though--when they get too mired in the complexities of it all is when it all seems to boil over. Keep it simple, fellas.

Also, for LROOE, they all had families and other commitments going on, and it just became too drawn out a process with all of them in too many far-flung locations, e-mailing back and forth. It's the issue they've had from the beginning, and they all touched upon in the doc--when times get tough, they don't communicate well. (Typical men )

I think Bill is merely being a tad "interview colorful" by calling it "hate." I think frustrations bubble easily, and they get annoyed with each other, but after how many years, I don't think it's "hate" when they fight. Maybe more disappointment?--"Why can't you see what I see? Why can't you hear what I hear?" It all comes down to ego and artistry and how to blend it in a band atmosphere--it's hard to subjugate the one for the good of the whole--the Eagles struggle with it, and all bands struggle with it, I'm sure.

All I can say is that the guys looked to be having a great time with each other in Milwaukee on Sunday, and I don't think you can fake that chemistry. You could feel their enthusiasm coming off the stage; in little looks and smiles they exchanged. (And in that heat, who would have the energy to fake friendship!?!? ) Are they best buddies off stage? Maybe not (or maybe some are closer than others), but I think they respect each other and the journey they've been on together. So "hate?" I don't think they could last this long if their was true "hate" there.
