Weirdest MF'er in Music?

Imaniiiiislandboiiiiiiiiiii... Imanislandboiiiiiiiiiiii...

 

Friend of mine is in a KISS cover band, went to a show last weekend. They seriously nailed it. Loud, growly guitars and intense drumming, and absolutely no ability to harmonize.

Sunn O)))

 

Early on for sure. Always liked her music, but she really stepped it up later .

 

David Bowie.

 

When I was in elementary school, my buddies and I were in the KISS Army. Those were the days!

 

Accusing Robert Johnson of marketing gimmick BS is some epic level revisionist history.

 

When I was thinking of generating this thread, I wasn't thinking about musicians who had mental issues, or were odd off stage but cranked out brilliant music that gets heavy air play (Prince, Michael Jackson), or even musicians that are perfectly normal off stage but used odd theatrics for their brand (Alice Cooper).

I nominated Les Claypool because he would show up on stage wearing a monkey mask, a pith helmet, or sand goggles, or even dress up like Willy Wonka. Pick any one Primus album, any one Frog Brigade album and his take on the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory soundtrack and you will have very weird song topics, weird lyrics, weird lyric delivery and weird effects. Plus, he introduced the Whammola to a broad audience.

I would put Frank Zappa up there too. They both explored realms mainstreamers would never touch (Zappa's "The Black Page", et al).

Claypool is one weird MF'er. I guess that is his "brand".

 

It occurs to me that GWAR should at least get honorable mention.

 

Has GG Allin been mentioned? As for Manson, Meh, he was just into the BDSM scene

 

Fuck that perv !!

 

They are in In

I missed that any of them were under 18. The little what I saw looked like the typical Dom/sub relationship.

messing with kids is a nogo

 

Marilyn Manson Accused Of Child Sex Trafficking As Demands The F.B.I. Investigate Mount (celebrityinsider.org)

 

George Clinton and his whole crew were pretty out there.

 

Keith Moon

 

Manson is the answer and it's not close

 

Flea and Keidis were pretty out there in their interviews (guessing they were high as kites).

 

Bowie, Zappa, RHCPs? Y’all need to get out more lol.

 

Gibby Haynes
