The Beatles playing Get Back on the top of a building, Jagger reading poetry in Hyde Park after Brian Jones' death, Jim Morrison exposing himself live on stage, Bowie's speech at the end of the Hammersmith Odeon concert in 72, the Pistols swearing at Bill Grundy, Jagger and Tina Turner at Live Aid.
These are moments that have gone down in rock and roll immortality. What moments, though, have there been since 1985? Is rock and roll dead? Or is it a generation thing?
Richie Manic carving 4REAL on his fore arm has to be mentioned.
Ian Brown calling the BBC "amateurs" and telling them they were "wasting me time" live on The Late Show, after a power failure...
Kurt Cobain taking the píss on Top of the Pops
The L7 chick who tossed her bloody rag into the audience at Glastonbury...
And to be fair Gustavo, Dave and Kirst pulled the proverbial on TOTP as well!

shane magowan chewing something on fairytale of new york on TOTP
EVERYTHING that ronan keating does....he's crazzzy!
Good while back now but Iron Maiden were on TOTP,
and were told they couldn't play live on account of the
noise. They reluctently agreed to "mime" and during the
song they intermittently swapped instruments and
acted the b*llix on stage.
It was hilarious :D

ronan : how do you get the ideas for your songs paul ?
paul : well it varies ronan sometimes they just come to me like with yesterday i woke up one day and the whole song was in my head . how do your songs come to you ronan?
ronan : other people write them for me.
The original and the best,
Jerry Lee Lewis pouring petrol into and setting fire to his piano onstage while Chuck Berry watched on from the wings. They'd previously argued over who should headline the show so Lewis decided to put on a show that Berry couldn't possibly follow.
thrashing guitars is kids stuff
When was that? The first gig I was ever at was a Feelgoods gig, circa 75, just before Malpractice was released. Totally blew my mind.Quote:

When was the reunion gig?
The Feelgoods are still playing now, with the likes of Eddie and the Hot Rods and John Otway. Obviously Lee is no more, but do any of the original line-up remain?
How about Radiohead being special guests on stage during Smash Hits (or some teenybop yoke like that) concerts mid 90's along with the likes of Boyzone and that cr@p.... they played My Iron Lung, and the looks on the kids faces were priceless!!!! I also remember Pop Will Eat Itself on the Late Late Show way back and wrecking the drumkits live on stage with Gaybo looking shocked and nobody giving a round of applause!
Every time the Backyard Babies set foot on stage!
Crazy Swedish Rock N' Roll motherfúckers! :cool:
Rory Gallagher Lark by the Lee one of his last gigs
The Stunning Ruby horse and the rest were all standing at the side of the stage in awe of the man, that was a rock and roll moment.
