Loonies in leather

Heres more stuff on eccentric metal band members...this post is long overdue...the inspiration for this post is Disaster Area, the loony rockers in the Doug Adams laugh riot H2G2.
These are little known bands with little known members...hence their antics are little known too.

The Boston based Grindcore band diecast recently "lost" its drummer; heres how:drummer Jason Costa snuck "off onto a bus in the middle of the night without explanation or warning". The reason was due to an argument with the other members over Brendan Fraser's acting skills.

In 1982, having repeatedly been thrown fake animals on stage by fans, Ozzy osborne bit into the head of a bat onstage, and was required to receive a series of rabies vaccination injections as a preventative measure against the disease. Ozzy said he thought that it was a rubber one thrown at him by a crowd member.

Back in 1982 Ozzy Osbourne was on tour in San Antonio. While there, he took the opportunity to don one of his wife's dresses, stumble over to the Alamo, and urinate on the side of it. Ever since then the number 666 has slowly been forming on the front of the building, gradually becoming more distinct.(woah!!)

Tankard is a speed/thrash-metal band from Frankfurt, Germany, founded in 1982. After losing their guitarist because of their image as a bunch of drunks, they moved on to issue their first record in 1986. From that point on, the band has continuously made songs and records in the same style they started out with - fast metal songs in honor of alcohol. Thus they claim to have invented a new genre called "alcoholic metal". Tankard are self-proclaimed "Kings of Beer".

Will put up more stuff as i come across it.
Stay heavy
