Opća Opasnost, once one of the most famous rock bands, is now at the center of scandal and fights that could forever change the band’s fate. After the death of guitarist Slaven Živanović Žiža, the band stopped working, and Pero Galić, one of the members, started a solo career. But here comes the drama! Galić claims that he, along with Žiža and Igor, is the co-founder of Opća Opasnost and has the right to use the band’s name. However, other members and the family of the late guitarist claim otherwise, leading to legal and personal conflicts.
In an interview with In Magazin, Galić made it clear that he won’t be able to use the name Opća Opasnost due to “their reasons,” a classic PR phrase for disputes over name rights. The late guitarist’s wife publicly denied his claims, and Facebook exploded with comments and debates. This is not the first time bands like Opća Opasnost, Azra, Crvena Jabuka, or Zabranjeno Pušenje have faced internal conflicts over name rights and money. When love for music turns into business, problems begin.
Pero Galić released the first single of his new solo career under the name Opća Opasnost Eurodens, with a sound almost identical to the old band but with a hard rock vocal and electric guitars. Fans are divided – some disappointed, others curious about what will happen next. This situation is a real drama, with all the elements of sad conflicts, legal battles, and lost friendships. Will Opća Opasnost survive as a brand or will it break up forever? One thing is certain – Facebook will keep burning with comments and debates for a long time.
If you thought band fights were a thing of the past, think again. This is proof that when money and rights come into play, even legends can fall apart. So, what do you think about this chaos? Does Pero Galić have the right to the name, or is this just another sad story about the downfall of one of the most important bands in the region? Drop a comment, let the public voice be heard!
