I remember hearing that Jimi would soak the headband in heroin and then it would seep into the wound on his forehead.

Why doesn't the Hendrix thing make sense? I figure it would work pretty well.

There's also the varying number of men that the cum came from. I heard anywhere from seven to seventeen.

I guess, but wouldn't it be easier and less messy just to shoot up or smoke it?

Then there was some even more bizarre stuff about some guy in America who used to smear himself in peanut butter and jam and cut himself and throw himself into the audience.
Of course I completely refused to believe any of it it - how gullible did these bastards think I was anyway? And if they were going to invent a character, couldn't they come up with up a slightly more credible name for him than "Iggy Pop"?

More specifically, he was going to come onstage with a revolver, fire the first five shots into the audience, and kill himself with the final bullet.

The Kiss comic book - blood ink is true, although it was just a tiny bit of blood used.

I wonder if this evolved out of some stories about Gwar, they always shoot that fake semen (I dearly hope) out of their stage penis thing.
oh and that a girl got pregnant of it.

What *did* freak me out were the Paul-is-Dead ones, which I read about in my first year of Beatlemaniacdom. I played "Revolution Number 9" backwards, and after hearing the "turn me on, dead man" bit, I was convinced this was something supernatural and refused to play the track (backwards or forwards) for years afterwards.

That's actually true, but he wasn't on TV. I went with my friends to watch the hearse go up Finchley Road by the Camden Arts Centre after the funeral, and when we were walking back to my friend's house we walked past him and Mrs. Bernard, who both looked upset. I'm sure I told someone from the paper about it, or some PR I'd spoken to must have done. Oddly, one of the friends I was with got chased by Saul the Suede A&R for a year around that time.
Kirk/George = original Goodge Place squatters. If you were Blitz or Taboo you knew people who lived there. They were a deux for a while, but KB tried to injunct against people who reported this for YEARS.

Umm, is that a strange acid flashback hallucination? Actually, no that all happened for real...

Wattie out of The Exploited was one of the contestants and performed a Huey Lewis song?
Mark, I have to believe that was a strange acid flashback hallucination or the foundations of my entire universe may begin to crumble beneath me!
Next you'll be trying to tell me that Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke has produced and conducted orchestral arrangements of selected pieces by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and is now the Composer in Residence of the Auckland Philharmonic!
