I never quite understood why Peter Banks was sacked from Yes. Can anybody shed any light?

Paul Di'Anno was kicked out of Iron Maiden because of a bad drinking problem.Incidents like Paul getting drunk,then arrested before a show and Steve Harris singing all the vocals that night were common.

Tarja acted like a selfish b***h. Cancelled shows for stupid reasons, said that she could leave the band when she wanted etc.

maybe he was drinking but the he was screaming so loud that he got problems with his voice. maiden did not take chance to give bad gigs, so they fired him. i was 13 years old when this happened, and even the maiden show has been cancelled!i can see the truth is distorted nowadays.

Banks wasn't happy about the use of the Orchestra on "Time and a word", and made his feelings known. Anderson and Squire decided (without seeking the agreement of the other members) that Banks should go. He doesn't seem to have been sacked as such, just told it would be better if he left.
(according to the excellent Yes biography by Chris Welch)

Mick was sacked because Fish thought he was rubbish. In Fish's own words he was an amateur that got lucky. I don't think the rest of the band were too impressed with hi m either but as he was the founder they didn't do anything.

I heard that Derek Sherinian was kicked out of Dream Theater because by
the time that Kevin Moore left they where inviting Jordan Rudess but he
couldn't play with them at that time so they got Derek and then when
Rudess was available they "sacked" him out of the band.

Maiden didn't fire Paul simply because he lost his voice... All singers lose their voice at some point "Sometimes it's good to let off a little steam after a show. But when it starts to affect
your performance, as it did with Paul, well, that's when I say enough is enough." - Harris about Di'Anno's partying
"It was my own fault. I was just a kid and I couldn't take the pressure." - Paul Di'Anno

What are you talking about ? Or was that a joke ? He quit because he hated Tales and the direction the band obviously wanted.

Rick Wright was kicked out of Pink Floyd because he was becoming unreliable and because he was depressed, apparently, that's what I heard.
Apparently David Gilmour asked Roger if Nick Mason could be kicked out too, but Roger rejected David's request, not sure if there's any truth on that rumour as well.
Lemmy got kicked out of Hawkwind for possesion of drugs in Canada.
