Rich Robinson has announced that The Black Crowes have officially disbanded. The guitarist, who co-founded the band with his brother Chris in 1989, released a statement today that reads:
It is with great disappointment and regret that after having the privilege of writing and performing the music of The Black Crowes over the last 24 years, I find myself in the position of saying that the band has broken up.
I hold my time with the Black Crowes with the utmost respect and sincerest appreciation. It is a huge swath of my lifeās body of work. I couldnāt be more proud of what we accomplished and deeply moved by the relationships people created and maintained with my music. That alone is the greatest honor of being a musician. I love my brother and respect his talent but his present demand that I must give up my equal share of the band and that our drummer for 28 years and original partner, Steve Gorman, relinquish 100% of his share, reducing him to a salaried employee, is not something I could agree to.
There are so many people who have helped and supported us along the way. I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of our fans, our friends behind the scenes, and to everyone who was a part of The Black Crowes.
The Black Crowes officially went on hiatus at the end of 2010, but played select shows in Europe the following summer and reunited with Jackie Greene on guitar for a string of dates that included a tour with Tedeschi Trucks Band. They have not performed since December of 2013, when they played their final show at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.

Was never really a fan of theirs but saw them open for Tom Petty and they were pretty good.

I didn't even know they were still a band.

These guys were fantastic. I saw them live in '06 and they blew me away. I only wish I could have seen them on their 2001 tour with Oasis (and their '99-'00 tour with Jimmy Page).

The Brotherly Love Tour with the Black Crowes, Oasis and Spacedog was great....the highlight for me was when Noƫl came out for the Crowes encore and played 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' by the Rolling Stones.
'Thorn In My Pride' is my favorite song by them.
God bless.

I too caught Oasis on the Brotherly Love tour with the Black Crowes and Spacehog. I never understood why Oasis had to always open for the Crowes. I felt they should have rotated every night. Oh well. It was a strange vibe all show. Literally half the venue cleared out after Oasis. I felt bad for the Crowes. My gig was in Camden, NJ. Dem some mean streets!!!!!
On a side note, after my show Oasis went over to Philly (10 min over the Ben Franklin) where they were staying and caught a Strokes show where Noel wanted to sign them. This was way before the strokes blew up or anyone really knew them. I think May of 2001. Wish I went to that show as well.

I think, as a whole, the Black Crowes are/were more popular than Oasis in the U.S., other than 96/97 when Oasis were probably the biggest band in the world, which justified the Black Crowes, I guess "headlining", even though I think it was billed as "co-headline" I know by the time that tour was happening, Oasis were pretty much thought to be not even a band anymore by many Americans, after Be Here Now and all. I remember having this conversation with you years ago, by the way. God bless. |

Yeah I get that both were huge at a point in time in America but the Crowes haven't been huge since like 1993. Oasis was more relevant in 2001. Granted most people thought Oasis broke up in 1996. They held that opinion in 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007, etc. |

I definitely heard their songs on the radio a lot more than Oasis', except for 96/97 of course. The Cleveland show was packed; it was the opposite there, not many people there for Oasis and a lot for the Black Crowes. If anything, Chris Robinson's fucked Kate Hudson and that's all that really matters. God bless. |

Chris Robinson is the "South's" version of Liam Gallagher.

I haven't seen 'True Detective', so I don't really know what's going on right now; I've been meaning to watch it, but one of my friend's went on and on about it and said it was the best show ever and that was kind of annoying because 'I'm with Busey' is in fact the best show ever. God bless. |

You know I was thinking that very similar thing moments ago while pulling the clip. I didn't put it together that he previously talked about 4th dimensional beings a year earlier in True Detective. |
