10 Craziest Onstage Incidents In Rock

1. Everything About GG Allin

There are countless rock artists who tend to take pride in their insane stage behaviors. Ever since the dawn of the frontman, rock artists have always found new ways to take the lifestyle one step further onstage, whether it's drinking too much or just putting yourself through the ringer. If you're looking for something sinister though, no one can really hold a candle to the way GG Allin acted onstage.

Compared to the more straightforward rock shows, Allin looked like he wanted to start a war every time he sauntered onto the stage. Being the ultimate tough presence, a lot of the more violent behavior coming from Allin almost seemed like he was unaware of his own self-preservation, as he would often leave bloodied and broken-boned from the set. That's just the beginning though. It gets a lot grosser.

For instance, it wasn't that out of the question for Allin to don the stage completely naked if the occasion suited him, or even to defecate in the middle of the set and then throw his excrement back out into the crowd just to cause a reaction. Whereas other lavish acts like Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper might claim to have some of the more shocking shows in metal history, not many other shows made you scared for your life for seeing it more than GG Allin.
