Some of these legendary tales have become exagerrated over the years, but one of my faves were Areosmith being TOTALLY wasted on cocaine and stepped out to play the first song on the set, ended up playing the encore song (Sweet Emotion) instead and fucked off..........and never returned to play the set.

The one about the Led Zep groupie shagging a fish is bollocks though; for those unaware of the anecdote, Zep were playing in Seattle and some wasted redhead groupie was spaced out on the bed, so Bonham casually leaned out of the hotel window with a fishing rod, caught a fish, which just happened to be a red snapper, and ended up sticking the fish up the groupies snatch with the immortal line of 'Lets see if this red head likes this red head'

Red Snappers are caught out at sea, not in a hotel water feature......good story though.I'm sure this will be a good thread

Don Henely, 3 women drapped over his couch, walking along the line with a dildo. When he stuck it in each girl they had to make a different sound until he got a tune. Sure as hell beats a Bontempi Organ!

Charlie Watts when asked by David Hepworth during a break in filming the video for One Hit (to the Body). Well Charlie what's it like hanging around here all day after 25 years in The Rolling Stones - Charlie answered " Well it's fuckin boring isn't it, it's a bit like being in the band. Five years work and 20 years hangin around".

All the Keith Moon ones are awesome and another belter concerns Stevie Nicks enjoying cocaine in a highly unusual way. Ozzy Osbourne is also good value although his Sabbath colleague Bill Ward ran him very close for nuttiness during the seventies. How those two guys are still alive is incredible.

Stevie Nicks was reported to have said that she didn't any man at her party whose face she hadn't sat on.

When Ozzy was an alcoholic in LA and to stop him going out to bars Sharon would hide his clothes. So he went out in hers. So she hid hers. So he went out naked.

And there was the time he snorted a line of ants.

Stevies cocaine intake was through her ring-piece as her nose was totally fucked, I read she had an assistant that would 'administer' it
