Most Extreme Things Musicians Have Done on Stage
Metal_TreasureThe Top Ten
1 GG Allin cut himself and ate his own feces
I may not like Allin but he is without a doubt the most psychotic rocker in history. - GodIsHell
What? Oh wow, I bet his fans did not enjoy that!
Damn, that's insane. - Catacorn
Because it is.

2 Keith Moon put pyro in his bass drum to cause explosions
That would be interesting to see. - Catacorn
Legendary moment
But before a show he added too much pyro which caused a larger explosion than intended, and left band members with permanent hearing damage and shrapnel wounds.
Obviously this is too extreme (Keith Moon was The Who drummer) - Metal_Treasure
That's cool!

3 Ozzy Osbourne bit off a bat's head
In 1982, someone threw a bat on stage, Ozzy picked it up and bit its head off. Ozzy said he thought it was a fake one. - Metal_Treasure
That poor bat. - Catacorn
He was hungry...
Interesting! - Kevinsidis

4 Iggy Pop tried to entice someone in the audience to stab him but failed and sliced an X into his chest with a knife
Why? Why are these people doing this? Good list though.
On the image he holds a knife in his left hand - he just made one cut and is ready to make the next one.
Before that he shouted racist insults, trying to provoke a black person in the audience to stab him. - Metal_Treasure
5 Iggy Pop rolled around on shards of glass and regularly puked on stage
He has many scars on his chest - a result of frequent self-mutilation - Metal_Treasure
Lovely
Well that’s unhealthy.
6 Greg Puciato defecated into a bag and threw it into the crowd
Now, no one wants that.
An audience =/= Your litter box - SpectralOwl
7 Lord Worm ingested worms
This explains Dan Greening's nickname but if you think he's a complete savage you are wrong - he's the only one in metal who wrote song lyrics that start with "Pardon, please". The song is "Slit Your Guts" by Cryptopsy, one of the most brutal death metal songs of all time. Lyrics just show Lord Worm is Canadian after all ;-) - Metal_Treasure
That's nice
8 Jim Morrison got arrested for waving his penis
It's appropriate, I consider Jim to be the sexiest guy ever. - Crwth
@Crwth - haha, I have no experience with his penis so I would gladly leave his penis to those of you who appreciated it. - Metal_Treasure
9 Marilyn Manson urinated on the crowd
I feel bad for the crowd... - Catacorn
Another reason not to go see him - EliHbk
But at least it was Marilyn Manson's. It means good luck.
THAT'S NOT REAL,THIS IS FAKE,THERE'S NO PROOF,HE ALREADY SAY THAT THIS IS FAKE,IS JUST A LEGEND,DON'T HATE HIM!

10 Red Hot Chili Peppers played entire shows wearing nothing but socks
Flea even got arrested for obscenity. - Metal_Treasure
Oof penis city
The Contenders
11 Alice Cooper impaled baby dolls on shiny swords
I guess the things he did were part of the shock rock theatrics. He also had a working guillotine on stage and a live boa constrictor around his shoulders. - Metal_Treasure
12 Alice Cooper walked around with a live boa constrictor around his shoulders
That's extreme but unlike some other extreme guys on this list, what he did had potential risks and took guts. That's why I have respect for Alice Cooper and not so much for some other musicians. - Metal_Treasure
Cool.
13 Gerard Way jerks off on stage
Not to mention, he gropes himself, moans in front of everyone, and kisses his fellow band members. - Catacorn
Oh GOD!
EW... Poor crowd that had to see that. #notsexy - Thelistmaker
14 GG Allin encouraged audience members willing to perform oral sex on him onstage
Strange thing is, there were volunteers and oral sex on him onstage actually happened - Metal_Treasure
That’s disgusting!
15 Lady Gaga got a person to puke green milk on her
Lady Gaga's "vomit artist" is a 27 yo woman - Metal_Treasure
Wow... that’s gross.
16 Liam Gallagher hit his own brother in the head with his tambourine
Ah...the lovely bros - Metal_Treasure
Ah, yes the brothers which don't get along in any way what so ever. - RogerWatersfan1999
Everyone's dream brother ladies and gentelmen
Yet he was voted the greatest frontman of all time by Q magazine
17 Marilyn Manson cut himself on stage and always beat up some band members
All the more reason to favour solo careers. - PositronWildhawk
It's the struggles of only being able to play drums and ending up like this is unlucky - SpectralOwl
Honestly everyone here betrayed me.
What a bully.

18 Jimi Hendrix lit his guitar on fire
A repugnant thing to do to a musical instrument! - Crwth
The glorious moment of rock which made Jimi Hendrix instantly popular than the rolling stones which that is his goal.- Kevinsidis
Yes! - EliHbk
19 Jimmy Pop vomited after sticking a banana in his throat
Maybe he was trying to sing with the banana because the banana was better than the microphone
Uh GROSS
20 Kollegah kicked a fan in the stomach who wanted to steal his sunglasses
Kollegah invited fans to come to the stage for a rap battle. However, this guy had in mind to rip Kollegah's sunglasses off during his performance. He better wouldn't have done this. Kollegah pushed him back, then kicked him and then punched him. Then Kollegah's bodyguards came, punched him so hard that he fell down and almost off the stage, before they dragged him away. Then Kollegah continued the performance as if nothing happened. Kollegah was later fined 18000 euros. He's a great rapper, but that was unnecessary. It would have been enough to ask him to leave. - Martin_Canine
MY SUNNIES! MINE!
21 Tommy Rogers from Between the Buried and Me mooned the audience as a $100 bet.
He goes on and says that guitarist Paul Waggoner refused to give him the money and instead payed it back in 50 installments of $2 in the form of coffee - kempokid
oh dear - Metal_Treasure
22 Nicki Minaj pooped her pants on stage
The poop was more talented than her I bet
What - SpectralOwl
23 Ritchie Blackmore regularly smashed his guitars
That's what I call a waste of money.
Ritchie Blackmore explained (that he actually had no explanation for doing it):
"Sometimes I feel like I own the stage completely on my own for an hour. I’m just going crazy. The adrenaline is so much that all my musical upbringing is thrown into intensity on stage rather than being a musician.
After 22 years of playing, it goes instead into a mood and comes out as an aggressive bulldozer. I don’t know why; I often wonder why. I’m not an aggressive person offstage; I don’t know why I am on." - Metal_Treasure
24 Miley Cyrus pretended to have sex with a blow up doll
I really don't see anything wrong with this.
Its miley what do you expect?
Extreme? Yes. Was it done by a musician? Probably not - SpectralOwl
25 Neil Young used to hide cocaine in his nostrils during live shows
So he got high during live shows? - Skullkid755
Once he performed with a good-size rock of cocaine in his nostril. "There was a rock of cocaine falling out of his nostril", Jonathan Taplin remembered.
The live show was recorded to become a film but Neil Young's manager was horrified when he saw the cocaine booger and the singer's face. Jonathan Taplin, the film's executive producer, called a special effects company to fix it and told them: "This guy has got a booger in his nose, can you fix it? " After a few days the company responded, saying, "We've invented a travelling booger matte." - Metal_Treasure
26 Iggy Pop took out his penis and put it on a speaker
That's disgusting, but I bet it was a better singer than Iggy Pop!
Iggy Pop.More like Iggy Penis.-DarkBoi-X
27 Kanye West Interrupts Taylor Swift's Acceptance Speech at the 2009 VMAs
That's just rudr
28 A Streaker ran on a horse race and fell over
29 Liam Gallagher changed the lyrics of the song to offend Americans and his own brother
That's offensive. What did us americans ever do to you?
30 Syd Barrett melted an entire tube of Brylcreem in his hair under a stage light
This subsequently melted down his face and made him look like "a guttered candle". Rumor has it, there were crushed Mandrax tranquilizer tablets in the mix but Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason disputed the Mandrax portion of the story, stating that "Syd would never waste good mandies".
Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd was a frequent user of psychedelic drugs, most prominently LSD. - Metal_Treasure
31 Evil Jared Hasselhoff urinated onto Jimmy Pop
�So you peed on him? ” -Diary Of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules
32 Members of the Bloodhound Gang made several crude gestures with the flags of countries they performed in
Depending on the country, this may be illegal. Which is stupid if you ask me - if it's a free country you must also be allowed to insult the nation symbolically. - Martin_Canine
That's so disrespectful.
33 Till Lindemann attached a dildo to his crotch and let lube squirt out of it and right into the audience
That's a little (a lot) disturbing - Thelistmaker
34 Daron Malakian mooned the entire crowd
Why...
WHY THE MOONING?
35 Liam Gallagher gave the finger to his guitarist and spat beer all over the stage at the 1996 VMA s
36 Liam Gallagher swears during his acceptance speech throws his award and the microphone to the audience at the Brit awards 2010
37 Freddie Mercury sang after his doctor said he vocal nodules
38 Pete Burns' very sexual performance with 2 buffy men in his Japan show
39 Marilyn Manson masturbates on stage
That’s not good for your fans’ eyes.
40 Roger Waters hocked a boogie on a fan who was trying to get on stage with him.
41 Roger Waters hocked a loogie on a fan who was trying to climb onto the stage.
42 Justin Bieber stops a show as someone threw a bottle on him
And Marilyn Manson threw a bottle back at someone who threw a bottle at him. This shows that Justin Bieber is a wimp.
43 Miley Cyrus played with baby toys on stage and humped a shark
