Early in The Black Crowes<\/strong>\u2019 career, frontman Chris Robinson<\/strong> was known for his bratty behavior, calling out other musicians who he didn\u2019t think were rock ‘n’ roll enough. Well, he now says there was a dark reason behind that behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my comments during that time came out of being in a depression,\u201d Robinson tells <\/span>Mojo<\/span><\/em> in an interview promoting their\u00a0new album,\u00a0<\/span>Happiness Bastards<\/span><\/em>. \u201cBack then, no one cared if you were depressed and had to go on a press tour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of Chris\u2019 bad behavior included insulting Miller Lite in 1991, the sponsor of the ZZ Top<\/strong> tour they were on, getting\u00a0booted off the trek. He also called out the\u00a0popular boy band\u00a0New Kids on the Block<\/strong>, describing them as “talentless p*****.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris notes, \u201cIf I have a tinge of regret, it would be the way [I] came across as so outspoken in the media and how that became the headline more than how good the music was.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This\u00a0was all happening as The Black Crowes were gaining\u00a0fame with their debut album,\u00a0<\/span>Shake Your Money Maker<\/span><\/em>, and Chris\u00a0says\u00a0another problem was that\u00a0critics seemed to not get their music, often comparing them to other bands.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never sounded like f******\u00a0Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/strong>,\u201d he says. \u201cThe Stones<\/strong>? Yeah I get it. But, \u2018Oh you guys sound like Faces<\/strong>.\u2019 We didn\u2019t really, we just wore flares.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Happiness Bastards<\/span><\/em>, The Black Crowes’ first album of new music in 15 years, comes out Friday, March 15. It is <\/span>available for preorder<\/strong><\/span><\/a> now.<\/span><\/p>\n
