On tour int eh US with Tupac and Benzino, Freddie Foxx got so sick of Benzino telling everyoern how much of a gansta he was he held him down and stuck his glock in his mouth and proceeded to beat the ******** out of him. Benzino left the tour soon after.

Freddie Foxxx was also owed approx $6000 dollars from a record company after he made a guest appearance on a record. As he was getting shafted by trying to get hte money, he rolled up to the record companies head office with approx 200 of his closest gun packing homeboys and demanded his $6000.

He also did unspeakable things to a man with a broom handle over $200, but this story is not appropriate for this site.

Eric B was Mike Tyson's security guard before he got into Hiphop with Rakim.

KRS-ONE once gatecrashed a PM Dawn concert, while they were 'beefing' and KRS and his BDP rushed the stage, threw the guy from PM Dawn off the stage, took over there equipment and proceeded to do a rendition of 'I'm number one' in front of all of PM Dawn's fans.

More useless Bad Religion trivia:
- After leaving Bad Religion in the mid 90s (for the 2nd time, he came back later) Brett Gurewitz formed his own band the Daredevils. They only released a 2 track single called Hate You and the title song was about BR bassist Jay Bentley and how he hates him. The Daredevils apparently had a few songs written, enough for an album I think. Brett sang in the band and the director of Pirates of the Carribean and the ring (I think) was the guitarest.
- Brett was also in another band called the Seeing Eye Gods with his drug dealer. This was described as weird psychadelic rock.

Cliff Richard(solo) has had a hit in 5 decades.

Cliff is the only act in the UK to score a #1 single in each and every decade since the inception of the UK Singles chart in 1952, with the exception of the 00's, which are not over. He will have to score a #1 single between now and December 2009 in order to maintain the record, although he can claim the record for being the only act to score a #1 single in every decade in the first century of the inception of the UK Singles Chart. Here is a list showing the amount of chart toppers Cliff has scored in each decade:-

1950s - 2; "Living Doll", "Travelling Light"
1960s - 6; "Please Don't Tease", "I Love You", "The Young Ones", "The Next Time/Bachelor Boy", "Summer Holiday", "The Minute You're Gone", "Congratulations"
1970s - 1; "We Don't Talk Anymore"
1980s - 2; "Living Doll", "Mistletoe & Wine"
1990s - 2; "Saviour's Day", "The Millennium Prayer"
2000s - 0; his closest was "Santa's List" which made #5 in December 2003.

Does anyone know if it is true that Jim Martin quit the band when he found out Roddy Bottum was a homosexual ?

that will do for starters..........
I think on This Is Your Life Johnny said he rolled up to the Easy's hotel room and asked if they could do a song for him and Stevie went to the loo and came back 10 minutes later with Step Back. It has a bit of an Easybeats sound to it.

who was 'Sexy Sadie'?

The Maharishi?
I've just consulted my copy of Revolution in the head (a brilliant book that analyses every song the Beatles recorded), and yes, the song was written by John after an altercation with the Maharishi that ended the Beatles stay in Rishikesh. The song was originally entitled Maharishi, but this was changed to avoid legal action. Allegedly the guru Maharishi was providing special "tuition" to female members of the band's entourage :D
