8 Crazy Nights In Rock History

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter
December 2nd, 2018 8:00 AM

Tonight (December 2) marks the first night of Hanukkah, and thanks to Adam Sandler referring to the holiday as “Eight Crazy Nights,” we thought we’d look back at eight crazy nights in rock history.  Enjoy!

 

Nikki Sixx OD’s, Inspires “Kickstart My Heart”

As the story goes, Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx overdoses on heroin while partying with Steven Adler, Slash and Ratt’s Robbin Crosby.  He passes out, turns blue, declared dead but is brought back to life thanks to an adrenaline injection from the paramedics.  Thus, a rock hit is born.

 

R.E.M’s Peter Buck Loses It On An Airplane

It’s not uncommon for rock stars to engage in questionable behavior high up in the sky, but when news broke that R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck went on what was called a “drunken rampage” during a 2002 British Airways flight, needless to say many were taken aback.

 

Ozzy & The Alamo

Just another drunken night of urinating on a historical landmark.

 

Kid Rock’s Waffle House Incident

Kid Rock was arrested on misdemeanor battery charges early one Sunday morning in October 2007.  Where did all of this occur?  At a Waffle House location in Atlanta.  Basically, a customer started talking to a woman who was in Rock’s entourage, things got heated and a fight broke out.

Kid Rock Waffle House Fight Caught on CCTV

Kid Rock on CCTV wailing on some guy. Half way through the fight he has the sense to check if his pony tail has fallen out from under his little white hat.

 

Marilyn Manson Rubs His Crotch On A Security Guard…Twice

In the year 2000, Marilyn Manson had a penchant for rubbing his junk on the heads of security guards working at his concerts.  Spoiler:  Neither guard was happy about it.  One rubbing incident led to criminal sexual conduct charges, while the other led to a lawsuit claiming “emotional distress.”
(Insert eyeroll here.)

 

The GN’R St. Louis Riot

A classic crazy moment!  Axl Rose jumps into the crowd after seeing a fan with a camera.  Cut to the infamous “Well, thanks to the lame-ass security, I’m going home!” line….and cue riot!

 

Courtney Love’s Wendy’s Trip

Courtney Love has had her share of crazy moments, but who can forget back in 2004 when photos emerged of her barefoot at a Wendy’s, leaving with the biggest takeout bags ever in the history of fast food and then that random guy sucking on her boob?  Google the pictures yourself.  We’d rather not post them here.

 

The Led Zeppelin Mudshark Incident

We’ve all heard about this myth, and if you haven’t, check out this video for all the (alleged) lurid details.
