Outrageous Acts By Bands

Ya think?

Hey, I couldn't care less what outrageous stuff bands get up to but I always feel a bit sorry for the poor buggers who have to clean up the trashed hotel rooms etc.

I think Alice Cooper chopped up plastic babies on stage.

He did that to the song "Dead Babies". I really like the song as it is a sad story about child neglect, but the on-stage antics are over the top.

Richey Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers cut himself live on TV. He is thought to have later thrown himself off the Severn Bridge.

Stiv Bators of the Dead Boys hung himself as a stunt and wound up getting stuck, taking so long to get untangled that he was either a second away from croaking or for a second did croak (it was definitely almost fatal either way).

Keith Moon setting his drumset to explode while The Who performed on the Smothers Brothers show (right into Townshend's ear, officially starting his hearing problems)

Sinead O'Connor ripping up a picture of the Pope!

One night during ZZ Top's Worldwide Texas Tour a buffalo went wild and smash opened tanks holding rattlesnakes. As I've heard the story, ZZ Top knew not what to do, so when Frank Beard thought that calming music would work, they started to play exactly that. It didn't work and they got of stage quickly after realizing how dumb they just were and left rounding up the buffalo and rattlesnake to their roadies.

Gene Spitting Blood never gets any less bizarre. If anything it's gotten freakier and more disturbing over time.

Blackmore's meltdown at the Califonia Jam 1974:

Smashed his guitar and threw the body of it into the crowd (could have caused serious injury).

Smashed a TV camera for getting too close to him.

Blew up his amps and set the stage on fire.

Threw speaker monitors off the stage.

Yeah this guy was a colossal douche bag. Slinging your feces at the crowd is grounds for a beating. Attending one of his shows was putting yourself at risk of contracting hepatitis.
