Yeah, all 3 of those are just gross. It's one thing to bite the head off of a bat, but quite another to pull stunts that have to do with urinating or defecating. That's just disgusting.

Blackie Lawless from WASP playing with raw meat and tossin' it into the audience

Not sure if you could get away with that today

The Nice burning the american flag(not that I'm patriotic or anything but still it's pretty outrageous).

Keith Emerson(of the Nice and later ELP)throwing knives into his organ(the musical instrument ;) ).

Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar at Monterey music festival(circa 1967).

Pete Townshend smashing his guitar on numerous occasions(mostly in the early days).

Ozzy Ozbourne biting the head off of a bat(he claims he didn't know it was live and thought it was fake; I believe he was subsequently treated for rabies after that incident).

Alice Cooper decapitating fake dummies(they were fake but still having a guillotine on stage is pretty outrageous).

Rolling Stones(probably Mick's idea)having a giant phallus on stage(not sure when but I think around 72,73). They might have been the world's horniest rock band.

Iggy Pop stabbing himself on stage circa 1973

I'm sure Kiss and Marylin Manson have done stuff that deserves to be mentioned.

I've never actually witnessed it, but it's my understanding that any time Justin Beiber steps onstage, it's appalling.


Oh, and I saw WASP back in 85-86, opening for KISS, in Denver, and the only thing Blackie threw into the audience was posters of himself

If we count off stage stuff then we must include some of Keith Moon's tirades like when he blew up a toilet(possibly more than once). I think he drove a car into a swimming pool or something too. You could almost have a whole thread just about all the crazy stuff he has done. Then of course there is him smashing his drum set.
