Stills was/is a notorious tyrant in the recording studio
I saw this movie once, i forget the name, i think CSN are in some bungalo in LA, and Crosby is lying down on a hammoc. He says something and Stills immediately jumps down his throat, while Crosby is just a deer in headlights, something about Crosby not living up to his mantra song, Almost Cut My Hair etc...Yeah, the longer Stills got into drugs and coke, I think the worse his natural a-hole tendencies started to take over. As happens with most...
But for a while, I bet it was fun.
I was at the concert in Rhode Island when Crosby showed up late in a bus (Cros talks about it in his book), after the concert had already started. This would have been like 85 ish, I dont remember. Anyway, Nash told the crowd to yell "You're Late"! at Dave when he got onstage. Crosby was barely coherent. Just stood like a zombie on stage and sang his bits. At one point, he asks the others that he wants to play one of his solo songs, and Nash just screams at him, furious. It was surreal to watch.
