Wildest musicians.........

The bad boys and girls of the music world
whether it's consuming prodigous amounts of booze and illegal substances, bizarre behaviour and just generally being a bit wild and crazy

I've gotta say the gold medal goes to Keith Moon, a total one off, completely bezerk, amazing drummer, didn't give a damn what anyone thought, so many crazy stories, witty, very very funny a complete mad dude!!

Honourable mentions to ozzy, Steven Tyler and joe perry years ago, tommy lee and nikki sixx back in the day and Keith Richards(who still hasn't slowed it down)

david lee roth - permanently off his head on weed cos it slowed him down enough for the rest of van halen to keep up to speed. As with keith moon a damn funny bloke..

ted nugent - wild, mad as hell but also super intelligent with it - check out his you tube interview with a us presidential candidate for mtv .... the politician started getting condescending with him and ted verbally tore him a new arsehole.

pete way - still not allowed back into usa

micheal schenker for his recent abuse of his talent

the list goes on ....

ginger baker-total lunatic-once dived off a cliff for a dare, in three/four feet of water-knocked himself out cold and lost several teeth in the process!!

Lynott, and rest of Thin Lizzy in their early years.

Skid Rose, bass player of Love/Hate. Saw them at Leeds Rios a couple of years back and he appeared to be having a heated argument with himself whilst playing one song!!! I got the impression that they must smuggle him out of the looney bin for gigs in the style of the A Team!

Chris Holmes of WASP as well
