* OpinionMyopia: The Wormwood tour, based on an album which dealt in the DarkerAndEdgier stories of Literature/TheBible, was accused of [[HePannedItNowHeSucks panning it]]. This got it a lot of backlash -- perfectly well-selling shows would get cancelled out of nowhere, objects would get thrown at the performers, Nolan Cook even had to leave a show in Athens, Greece after taking a rock to the eyeball-mask.

* NoBudget: The 13th Anniversary Show, by design. Still reeling from the impact of the Mole Show, the band did not want to take the same kind of massive risk a second time in a row. So when a Japanese record shop made them a very generous offer to play a few dates, they took a far more conventional approach, with simpler costumes, inflatable props, and work lights in lieu of stage lighting.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: ''The Big Bubble'' did surprisingly well in Japan, to the point where their Japanese distributor arranged for the group to perform in Tokyo, covering all expenses.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The American Composers Series was supposed to last ten volumes. And an additional three were planned out: ''The Trouble with Harrys'' (Music/HarryPartch and Music/HarryNilsson), ''Bob and the Blob'' (Music/BobDylan and Music/BarryWhite), and one featuring Music/RayCharles and Music/SunRa covers, the latter of which even yielded a few recordings. Other musicians included Music/CaptainBeefheart, Music/SmokeyRobinson, Music/CharlesIves, Music/StevieWonder, Music/{{Moondog}}, Music/ScottJoplin and Music/BrianWilson. But, alas, the concept was buried under a mountain of legal fees two albums in. This continues to present day, as Cherry Red's projected boxset of the material has repeatedly been held back over legal disputes.

* DiedDuringProduction: Snakefinger was their first pick of guest musician for ''God in Three Persons'', but he had a fatal heart attack before they could even record his parts. The earliest versions of the ''Cube-E'' tour, planned before he died, were also meant to feature him.
