Does anyone here have any crazy rock and roll stories to tell?

[Papa]

I have one that a friend told me about years ago.

An old roomate of mine went on vacation to Hawaii with his family. One night they were at a bar sitting in the back having some drinks listening to a local band playing onstage. After about an hour or so of listening, they were suddenly struck by how good the drummer was, he was just going off.... Everyone's attention was focused on the stage. When the band finished the song, the singer announced that they had a special guest sitting in with them for that song on drums. Steven Adler of Guns and Roses. This was right about the time when Guns and Roses had released Appetite for Destruction and Paradise City was a hit single.

Steven played another tune or two, then left the stage. My roomate watched him mingle his way through the crowd towards the back of the bar and come up right to his table where he was sitting with his mom, dad, sister and himself. Steven asked if he could sit with them. My roomate couldnt believe it. They hit it off, and Steven was asking my friend if he could hang out with him, where he was staying, etc..

Steven told them a little about himself, and that this was the first time he had been to Hawaii. He had gotten there a day or two earlier, just came out there on a whim. He thought Hawaii was so cool, so he called Slash and Axel Rose to come join him. Axel was to arrive later that night and meet up with Steven at the bar.

Lo and behold, Axel walks in after a bit, drunk off his ass. He apparently drank all of the Jack Daniels that they had on the plane and was being obnoxiously rude to the flight attendants and saying things like "don't you know who I am, I'm Axel Rose?".

Arriving at the bar trashed with his rock star attitude cranked to 11, Axel began to cause trouble with the waitresses and got himself thrown out within minutes. He was yelling at them "don't you know who I am?". (There were some more details in this part of the story but I don't remember them anymore....)

About 15 minutes after they ejected him ,the lights were turned off and on for an announcement. Steven Adler already knew what was up. Axel Rose had called in a bomb threat! He said that whenever Axel was thrown out of a place he would retalliate by calling in a bomb threat. As the evening was cut short Steven and my friend made plans to hook up the next day.

Next morning Steven showed up my friends hotel and they hung out together that day. My roomate described how surreal it was to be hanging out with the drummer for one of the most popular bands in the world, watching him run up and down the beach singing "Paradise City". Steven was also asking my roomate if he could get any mushrooms, he wanted to do muschrooms and hadn't done any before. He was asking about lots of different kinds of drugs but my friend couldn't help him.. Not long after this, maybe 6mos to a year, Steven Adler was reportedly kicked out of the band for drug abuse, which didnt come as a suprise to me at the time becuase I knew this story.

Anyway, that's one of the "rock and roll" stories that I know of. Anyone have any they want to share?

1. I've got one

I knew these guys in Kansas who were in a college rock band 10 years or so ago. Eventually the band broke up and two of them formed a new rockabilly band. A couple of years ago they played in New York City. Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes sat in with them for a couple of songs. Afterwards on the tour bus I joined them and we all were drinking moonshine, etc. After about an hour they got a phone call from Robinson telling them to come party with him at this bar that he had cleared out a room at in the Village. So at 3 in the morning I found myself there drinking shots of Jack Daniels. Robinson bought them all. Eventually, the bar chased us out of the room and had us join the public in the bar. We proceeded to swap stories. Robinson made the bar DJ play Fu Manchu. We were all singing along to "Boogie Van", seeing who could come up with the best "war" story from our party days. Robinson acted just like a regular guy except for the fact he had enough money to treat us all to drinks. The next morning I woke up and couldn't believe I'd been there and had had the nerve to say to Robinson that I could top his stories and then did and that he agreed and didn't give me or any of us any shit about it. I went into work the next afternoon and I wasn't hungover a bit because I was still drunk! My boss asked me what the hell I'd been doing the night before and when I told her she didn't give me any trouble about not being completely together at work.

2. My friend's dad got into a hotel elevator and Duran Duran were in it.

This was Toronto, maybe 1985 or so. Then about a year later, he was on the same elevator, and at one stop, Bob Dylan got on.

4. Woodstock

I was stationed in Baltimore in the Army in 1969 and me and a buddy went to the concert in an MGB. No food, slept in the MG. It was GREAT!

3. Not Really, but

Fishbone once crashed at my apartment.

Very nice, personable fellows. One of my roommates at the time was a promoter, and they were going to drive straight through to the next gig, but the van driver was too sleepy.

5. I once pissed on Joey Ramone's shoes.

And Madonna laid my roommate in my bed while I was at work, the rat bastard.

[Papa]

6. did you piss on his shoes by accident or on purpose?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. Oh, quite by accident.

We were there in CBGB's spacious, clean and neat mens room shoulder to shoulder pissing when a chick came in, climbed up on the sink and started to piss there.
Joey and I both stared, and he, being inboard the sink from me, got a bit wet.
We both laughed.
One time, a few years later, I ran into him in a restaurant... he stopped me and introduced me to some Record Biz idiot types as a guy who once pissed on his shoes, and bought me a drink. he wanted me to piss on the record company guys... I guess I lost his confidence when I did not hop up on the table and do it.

7. As a part-time rock journalist, I've got plenty

but I think this one says it all:

I was attending my second hard rock music convention in Los Angeles. I'd spent most of the first one looking around and saying things like, "If that guy were a little skinnier, he'd look just like Blackie Lawless." But the following year, I was wiser.

I got in the night before and ended up in the hotel bar with a couple of industry colleagues and Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain. Somebody ordered Jack Daniels and the barkeep said they were all out. Resisting the urge to grab him by the collar, I said, "Sir, tomorrow this hotel will be filled with four thousand people from rock bands, record companies, music manufacturers, journalists, and everything in between. Jack Daniels is their official MOUTHWASH! So if you value your life, you will get your hands on every bottle of it you can buy, beg for, borrow, and steal! Take this up with president of this hotel if you have to!" Fortunately, it worked!
