Here is a list to some of last centuries whackiest rockers!!! If I can find anyone else to add, it will be in Part 2!
G.G Allin
Whacky rocker GG used to p**s and s**t on himself on stage. Also had odd music videos. Wanted to end his final gig with his suicide on stage, died from a heroin overdose after a gig one night.
Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie)
Arriving at London's Victoria Station on May 2, 1976, after a European tour during which he'd told a reporter that Britain 'could benefit from a fascist leader', Bowie waved to his fans in a way the press interpreted as a Nazi salute. He later explained: 'I was just waving bye-bye'.
In a 1975 Playboy interview he said: 'Hitler was the first rock star. He staged a whole country'. There's also another quote (not from the same interview): 'When you think about it, Adolf Hitler was the first pop star. It certainly wasn't his politics. He was a media pop star ... Hitler was a terrible military strategist. But his overall objective was very good. He was a tremendous morale booster'. Jews in Britain were furious and called for a boycott of Bowie. He was also attacked by the British press.
Chuck Berry
Made a ground breaking home movie. Here is an excert: Chuck Berry :(while peeing on girl in bathtub) Faaaaart! "There. Now you can smell my fart." Another apparent quote that is used is "Dinner is served!" In 1960, he was convicted of transporting a 14-year-old girl across state lines for "immoral purposes."
Ozzy Ozborne
At 14, he stabbed an aunt's kitty cat because he was "bored." Biting the head off a live dove. 1981. After zapping a fifth of whiskey, he took three doves from his pocket and bit off one head. Security removed him, blood dripping from his mouth, from the CBS building and told him never to return. "It was f- - - - - - great. Tasted like good hamburger," said this sweet TV star.
In '88 after bingeing on vodka, Ozzy tried to choke his wife, saying, 'We decided you've got to go'. She hit the panic button, cops came and this Wizard of Oz was arrested. He spent three months in rehab.
