Okay, I know he aint a musician, but the "Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster" story takes some topping.... :lol: :lol:

 

The story that Paul McCartney died in the mid-60s and was replaced by a look-alike was totally bizarre to say the least...... :wacko: :wacko:

 

And there was one in about '98 I think concerning Richie Edwards living in some Tibetan Monestary as a Bhuddist monk....... :lol: :lol:

 

...Oh yeah, and Marilyn Manson was somehow responsible the Columbine High School Massacre in the US..... :rolleyes:

He's had a top 10 single and album, so we can let you get away with that one :P

It has to be the infamous story of Led Zeppelin's road manager Richard Cole, and pyschedelic-rock band called Vanilla Fudge, a hotel room, an enthusiastic groupy, and a fish...

 

I won't go into any more detail, but you can read about it here anyway - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_episode

 

And of course, Axl Rose's stage-dive to take out a guy with a camera, followed by him storming off and leading to a riot.

We realize that, but Brian entitled the topic "What's the craziest story (fact or fiction) you've heard ... about a musician?"

 

I don't suppose Brian would mind the thread being expanded though :)

I like the urban legend that if Lemmy ever has a 'fresh' blood transfusion he will die because his own blood is such a caustic fusion of illicit substances and his body wouldn't be able to take the clean stuff.

I once mixed my father's ashes into a line of cocaine and snorted, he told British music magazine NME. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow

 

"I was number one on the Who's Likely To Die list for 10 years," he told NME. I was really disappointed when I fell off the list."

I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.

 

 

Bonnie Tyler had to cancel a world tour because she did not have a sore throat.
