Most punk rock show ever?
I was just at one where one the guitarists for Night Falls Fast was so drunk off his ass he was puking on stage. Yet he kept on playing.

can you think of anything more punk?

4. I dated the producer of some of his record and writer of his liner notes
It was very strange. We did not call it "dating" at the time.

11. I saw GG Allen's live show
I'm one of the few people I know of who has. Most people couldn't stomach it.

13. I did too, for all of ten minutes...
I walked out after he sliced his stomach open and dripped blood all over the first few rows. Apparently, I missed him defecating on stage later. :eyes:

That's not music OR art. That's bullshit (no pun intended).

2. In 1978 I lived in the Chelsea hotel and was in a punk band for 7 months
We got pretty well known by people in the scene. We never rehearsed once and never played once, but we got high together and told everyone we were in a band. I was the singer. My friend Robin Sane (porn-star at the time) played bass. One night I Robin and I made out with a woman who was drunk and knocked out all her front teeth the month before. Robin said: Lick her gums with your tongue, it feels great." Oh, those were the days.

5. Yes, the real thing Sid Vicious
That's about the only other show I can think of that had someone puke, pee, crap his pants or cut himself on stage.

7. Jimmy Page had diarrhea in Chicago & his roadie had a bucket
On the side of the stage for Jimmy to go in every time he had to during the concert.
My Sisters ex husband worked for Zeppelin and had to stand on the stage and smell the stench.

10. Punk Show '95
at the Blockbuster Pavillion in Devore, CA. An all day punk show turned into a riot after cops were pummeled with garbage while trying to arrest someboday and the lead singer from Guttermouth got into a fight with a security guard - in the middle of a song - when the guard was beating the shit out of a crowd surfer that made it to the stage. People were ripping out seats and throwing them at the 20 or so guard infront of the stage. At one point, punkers were tossing steel drainage plates at the guards and the speakers! All the guards ran for their lives and the cops arrived, clad in riot attire and tear gas. I got scolded by a motorcyle cop waving a 12 gauge in my face. Earlier in the day caught the aftermath of a pepper-spraying. Worst of all, Sublime, (before they were popular) which were the headliners, never showed up!
