Zubeen Garg pulling a toy gun on his unsuspecting audience was tame compared to what these singers did on stage
Poor Zubeen Garg! The Assamese singer-actor might’ve thought it would be a great gimmick to promote his upcoming film Mission China while performing at a veterinary college in his home state, by bringing along a gun to the event after his shoot.
He went on to threaten to shoot audience members if they left. Sounds funny? Someone didn’t think so. The cops came, say reports, and frisked him while he was on stage and found said firearm to be a toy pistol. What’s funnier is that the film’s villain supposes he did that to speak out against gun violence in the state and promote peace. How that works is a guess!
Singers have been known to do crazy stuff during live gigs. We know this because history is replete with their laugh-worthy antics. By comparison to these crazy crooners, Zubeen’s gun-toting gimmick seems way too tame.
Ozzy Osbourne
When: 1982
In his Black Sabbath days, Ozzy bit off a bat’s head during a show while on stage. Alive or dead, it freaked people out. Ozzy says the bat bit him and thereby, was a live one. He went on to say he had to go in for rabies shots. The fan who threw it on stage says it was a dead one, though.
Crazy Factor: Batshit Insane!
David Bowie
When: 2004
This incident happened at the Norwegian Wood Festival in Oslo. A lollipop hit the Thin White Duke in the eye, lodging itself between his eyeball and eye socket. He swore at the unknown culprit but gloated, “Lucky you hit the bad one”. He promised to ‘punish’ the crowd by making the concert extra long.
Crazy Factor: Eye Shapath!
Lady Gaga
When: 2014
She did what? Invited ‘vomit artist’ Millie Brown on stage. Brown drank coloured milk and puked it back onto the Mother Monster.
Crazy Factor: Blaargh!
Miley Cyrus
When: 2014
Why was Miley Cyrus singing that close to the crotch of a dancer dressed up as Bill Clinton while performing to Party in the USA during the Bangerz Tour? Why does Miley do anything outrageous these days?
Crazy Factor: She can't stop. And she won't stop!
GWAR
When: 2014
Known as the Kings Of Carnage, Gwar’s this US-based heavy metal band known for ‘mutilations’ and ‘beheadings’ of celebrities and political figures. One particularly freakout session went down at music festival Soundwave in Sydney. A few songs into their set, a mechanical Tony Abbott (the Aussie PM) character walked out on stage, sternly telling the band that had to finish up. Abbott effigy was swiftly decapitated by lead singer, Oderus Urungus’s sword, spraying blood all over the audience as the band continued playing.
