MARILYN MANSON, MAYHEM Among 'Craziest' Rockers Of All Time

January 5, 2004

MARILYN MANSON and Norwegian black metallers MAYHEM were included in a list of the "100 most insane moments in rock" released last week by British music magazine Q.

Topping the list was the late WHO drummer Keith Moon, who was singled out for a life of excess that included countless drug-fueled brawls, a food fight with police in Flint, Michigan and an impromptu fireworks display on a U.S. television show.

The list, chosen by magazine staff, is an enlightening record of rock 'n' roll's wacky and weird moments, ranging from the bat-biting of Ozzy Osbourne to Michael Jackson conducting a voodoo ritual to fatally curse his enemies, via Elvis Presley's predilection for mounds of jam and peanut butter sandwiches, and Freddie Mercury's offstage sexual thrills.

The Top 10:

01. Keith Moon
02. Prince — proselytizes door-to-door for Jehovah's Witnesses
03. Marilyn Manson — covers fan in meat
04. Michael Jackson — puts curse on Steven Spielberg
05. Elvis Presley — flies 879 miles (1415 kilometers) for peanut butter and bacon sandwiches
06. MAYHEM — Norwegian band's bassist kills guitarist
07. Courtney Love — lies down semi-naked in London street
08. Marion "Suge" Knight — career of oft-jailed rap impresario
09. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown — troubled marriage
10. Freddie Mercury — QUEEN frontman's backstage antics
