aka The Wildest Moments In Rock!
I want to hear from anyone here who has heard / read about stories - ones that may or may not be confirmed - regarding the excesses of rock’n’roll behaviour.
What are the greatest rock’n’roll myths & stories of all time??
You know the ones. The ones where coked up / boozed up rock stars do the kind of outlandish things that only a rock star could do and still be cool. The kind of things that if Joe Normal ever did, he’d be considered a “fucking idiot” and nobody would go near him…!
Examples:
Ozzy Osbourne and Nikki Sixx snort a line of ants - after becoming bored with their cocaine.
Nikki Six o’ds in a hospital surgery and is pronounced dead for two minutes - only to be revived and go out partying again.
Motley Crue stick a phone up some girl’s snatch and order room service through it.
Keith Moon is kicked out of a hotel for nailing the furniture to the ceiling.
Glenn Danzig makes all backstage crew sign a form stating that they will not look him in the eye.
Mike Patton would shit in the hair dryer of any hotel that he took a dislike to.
Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction would openly jerk off in front of band mates, family members, management etc in the dressing room after each gig.
Jimmy Page dated a 13 year old girl.
Psychic TV used to have on stage group sex.
Michael Jackson…y’know…
Gary Glitter…y’know…
Ace Frehley of Kiss was a closet Nazi and once banged on Gene Simmons’ hotel door making holocaust jibes (Gene is jewish).
Gibby Haynes of The Butthole Surfers once set fire to the stage with a flame thrower and would often have sex with the band’s naked dancer on stage.
Captain Beefheart kept his bandmates hostage and refused to give them food.
Ya see?..Stuff like that. The more excessive the better - and bonus points for anyone with stories that are relatively unheard of.
Some obscure ones would be nice.
