Tragic Details Everyone Ignores About The Band Toto

Toto may not be the most successful or well-loved rock band in the world, but their story is unlike that of any other. For a while, Toto actually ruled the airwaves, but sadly their sunshine days were all too brief. Beyond that, the rest of the band's history is riddled with discord and tragedy. Here's the long, strange, and tragic real life story of Toto.

Many people like to say that a close friend is like their brother, but they tend to forget just how often brothers fight. Just ask Toto. When drummer Jeff Porcaro co-founded the band, he quickly asked his brother, keyboardist Steve Porcaro, to join in. After original bassist David Hungate left the group in 1982, another one of those Porcaros, Mike, jumped from occasional Toto cellist to full-time Toto bassist. But that combination was a bubbling cauldron overflowing with searing hot animosity and resentment. Speaking about the band's early days, Steve later told Classic Rock:

"I felt undervalued. Jeff and I were always at each other's throats. Mike got along with both of us. But Jeff and me really bumped heads."

Although he recalled Jeff getting frustrated if Steve couldn't reach his perfecting standards, he claimed there was definitely something brotherly going on, since he'd hear Jeff singing Steve's praises whenever he thought his brother wasn't around.
