| I had a buddy back in HS (88-92) who used to say that Neil Peart was such a fast and precise drummer that he could keep a guitar pick pinned to the wall using his drumsticks. Anyone else heard/ know any? |

It wasn't so much the substance itself, but the sheer VOLUME of it that Rod Stewart (or Jon Bon Jovi) was supposedly credited with, shall we say, "imbibing" if you catch my drift.
And that's the last I'm gonna say before this thread goes even further downhill.

| I can';t count how many times I heard the ruymors that rock bands names were really eeeeeeeeeeeeevil acronyms. Some examples:
AC/DC = Anti Christ/Devil's Church, or After Christ/Devil Comes
Rush = Resting Under Satan's Hand
KISS = Knights (or Kings) In Satan's Service |

| I don't remember who told the story, but supposedly Ozzy and this fellow had a groce-out contest once. They were taking turns choking up flem, and whatnot from their nose/throat whatever. Then one of them puked their guts out, thinking he won. Suddelny Ozzy walks out of the room, and then returns with a sucking straw! _________________  |

| A few common myths:
MAMA CASS of THE MAMAS & PAPAS choking on a sandwich...
[Truth:She had a massive heart attack]
MARILYN MANSON is actually Paul from THE WONDER YEARS or the one son from MR. BELVEDERE
[Truth: Paul,was played by a young Josh Saviano]
KEITH RICHARDS had a total blood transfusion to rid his body of all the poisoned druggie blood with new healthy stuff....
[Truth: He had really just had a toxin purge treatment performed]
MICHAEL JACKSON owns the Elephant Man's bones...
[Truth is they were destroyed in an air raid in WWII]

I have a vinyl of the self-titled W.A.S.P., and although it was probably a record company idea, it actually has 'We Are Sexual Perverts' etched into it.

I remember somethilng similiar on VH1. Ozzy and Randy were having a contest and Ozzy snorted an anthill, so Randy pissed on the ground and leaned down like he was going to lick it up and Ozzy pushed him out of the way and licked up all of Randy's pee. |

| I remember hearing as a kid that Gene Simmons had a cow's tongue surgically sewed into his mouth and that it was his own blood that he spit out by chewing a razor blade. I've heard the Alice Cooper/loogie one too. | Quote: | MICHAEL JACKSON owns the Elephant Man's bones...

I thought the story was that he wanted to purchase them, but the English museum where they are kept refused to sell. |

According to "The Dirt", that story involved Nikki & Tommy from Motley Crue, not Randy. |
