Black Flag dedicates a song to a fan they met earlier in the crowd. Spotting him, they invite him onstage to sing the song. The man kicks so much ass, they hire him as their new singer and the world is introduced to the distilled awesome of Henry Rollins.

Stooges frontman Iggy Pop cuts himself with a broken beer bottle, smears peanut butter on himself and dives into the crowd. No video, but picture that if you will. www.iggypop.org/stooges.html

The Dead Kennedys are invited to play the Bammies and proceed to mock every "artist" in the room.

The article fails to mention the painfully long guitar solo that continues long after the rest of the band had ceased playing.

Controversial LA band Fear miraculously gets booked on SNL. Frontman Lee Ving proceeds to repeatedly insult New Yorkers and (with some help) destroy the set. Oddly no video to be found.

1979-African-American punks The Bad Brains are banned from performing in Washington DC after being charged with inciting riots.

1995- The Brains reform to open for The Beastie Boys. Vocalist HR is then arrested after bashing a nazi in the skull with his microphone stand mid-song and the band breaks up again.

Some of my favorites. Feel free to add your own magical moments. It's late; I go night-night now. I may add more later.

Iggy Pop is performing at some show, and spots The Corrs in the "royal" box watching. He jumps up and spits on them. Awesome.

I don't know the history, but why the hell were the Sex Pistols booked to be on a show with a stuck up dick like Bill Grundy in the first place?

Speaking of controversy with rock music, here's something from a different scale.

When did Manson join Cradle of Filth? God damn, how hard is it to at least do some fucking research on the topic at hand before trying to make a documentary about it? That was some light, middle-of-the-road shit, C, believe me. I was brainwashed with HOURS of this kind of cheesy nonsense filled with outright lies during my grade school years. It is some of the best unintentional comedy EVER! I have stories, man.

Here's a clip from one of the actual series of videos I was forced to watch in class. Repent! Save yourself from the horrors of Fleetwood Mac, "Back to the Future", and Prince! youtube.com/watch?v=AKIQ7T-t_V4

Fun fact #1: Jesus was the ORIGINAL punk rocker!
Fun fact #2: I never listend to rock music until I watched that crap.
Fun Fact #3: Death metal: even scarier than Madonna.
Fun Fact #4: There is no such thing as actual Satan worshippers, only schizophrenics.

I could seriously write BOOKS about this topic so I'll stop for now.
