Top 10 Craziest People in Music

The Top Ten
1 GG Allin Kevin Michael "GG" Allin (born Jesus Christ Allin; 1956-1993) was an American singer, songwriter and record producer, who performed and recorded with many groups during his career. He was best known for his graphic live performances which included self-mutilation, parading around the stage naked, fighting... read more

GG Allin BELIEVED in everything he said and did. He wasn't some showy shock rocker. When he threw feces at the crowd or urinated onstage, it was because he believed his body was a temple of rock and roll, and his flesh, blood, and bodily fluids were a communion to the people.
Quotes from GG Allin's interviews with Jane Whitney and Jerry Springer:
"... How many of you can, at 35 years old, sleep with 16, 12, 13 year old girls and boys and animals? Hey, this is the life."
"... I'm out for violence, chaos, lawlessness all the way. I don't care about anybody or anything except myself and my mission..."
"I've been doing this ever since I was a child... When I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll still smell the same way, I'll still look the same way. This is not a show, this is not an act; I am that guy."
"How many Christians are in the audience? You're the biggest hypocrites... You worship a false God. The real God's up here. (Points to self)"

Everyone knows ozzy is a mad-man! The dude is 66 and still just as pissed off as he was 30 years ago! He smeared his own feces on the wall of a hotel, and on the same day snorted a line of ants... don't forget the bird... and the bat... yeah ozzy should be #1, any one who says other wise doesn't know who he is!

To be honest it's a miricle Ozzy is still alive today with all the wild parties, alcohol and drugs during Black Sabbath and his solo career. Then there's the rumours of the bats and doves' heads he bit off and the line of ants he snorted (although he claims he never did that). So you see why I say it's a miricle that he's still alive
