Shocking Musical Moments Caught on TapeBy
Douglas Newman
Awards ceremony broadcasts are usually dull, staid displays of self-congratulations. However, once in a while there are some entertaining, unplanned occurrences. Perhaps the Godfather (no pun intended) of all award ceremony shock tactics is Marlon Brando, who for his 1973 acceptance speech for The Godfather, sent a Native American woman, Sacheen Littlefeather, dressed in white buckskin and leather headdress, to read a speech blasting Hollywood for its treatment of Native Americans in film.

Rage Against the Set
Our Lord, Michael Jackson? Sinead O’ Connor rips the Pope A Queen of the Stone Age goes royally apeshit

How could you miss out Jarvis Cocker vs Michael Jackson at the 1996 BRIT awards? Our man Cocker took offence at the way MJ had surrounded himself with children onstage and his use of strongly messianic imagery during his performance… jimiffondu said:
oh, that’s a shame, the comment box didn’t embed the video… see a Jarvis Cocker interview here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XkdikcrjbZk James Woods said:
LOL, never did see what anyone saw in musicals. I want to see a musical I will go to a CONCERT! Nix said:
Are you guys serious with the Josh Homme bullshit? He does the same thing on the DVD. He’s done it at every concert of theirs I’ve been to. Go on the yubes, there are a dozen videos of him chewing bitches out. It’s not shocking…it’s just what he does. The only difference this time some fag got butthurt over it and had a big public cry. You think he’s homophobic? You think it’s offensive? Take a good hard look at the Queens – that band is gay as hell. Get the hell over it. Nic Abrego said:
Last year when Queen of the Stone Age was opening for NIN the exact same thing happened. Some kid threw a shoe at him on stage and he threatened him with coming into the crowd to fuck him up. He switched up the ending through, insuring that him and the rest of the band would be using the shoe as a toilet for the rest of the night. It was the Minneapolis show. KieranMullen said:

Here’s a good video of Axl Rose stopping a concert in the middle of “Sweet Child of Mine” so that he can yell at a fan. [...] self-congratulations.

Janet Jackson + Timberlake = Boob… wtf. sarahj said:
Dude, Josh Homme verbally raped that dumbass who threw a shoe at him…lol Online Advertising said:
When I heard Kayne first say that stuff about Bush i was dying laughing. Not because of what he said … because of the look on Mike Myers face lol dudeboy said:
I couldn’t stand to read this after the third sentence where you placed the phrase in parentheses “no pun intended”. You should read this and realize why no one cares about you or your puns. Yang said:
Hey Dudeboy (you hate puns but looks like you dig redundancies), I feel bad for you if somebody pointing out a pun makes you that angry. You should lobby Congress for a law banning that practice. It’s a really worthwhile cause. Lighten up. Anthony said:
So is Dimebag Darrell getting SHOT AND KILLED on stage not shocking enough to make this list? Sorry for the sarcasm, just thought it was odd it wasn’t listed. toshe said:
or how about when Akon threw that kid from stage onto the ground.. that was pretty idiotic. Acrobat said:
What about Bono dropping the f bomb at the grammy’s? W.A.R. said:
Certainly Axl Rose and Guns N’ Roses have a moment or two under their belt – you know after inciting a couple of riots or so. RPO said:
Kanye on Bush was pretty crazy. Mike Myers’ look was priceless Recruiting Services said:
oDB= awesome tiben1 said:
I think one you missed may be the best…the reason there is a delay on live broadcasts…Slash and Duff accepting an award for G’N'R, liquor in hand, drunk off their asses and saying “F*ck” on live tv, classic. Abby Normal said:
G. G. Allin-Basically all show that he ever did. G.G. was equally dangerous to the audience and himself. G.G.´s tour usually would end after 4 or 5 shows because he would be in hospital or in jail. Videos about him are totally NSFW and I mean it. Scott said:
“I normally have little tolerance for Kanye’s childish antics, but his nationally-televised impromptu rant against George Bush and the media for its blatant racism in the face of Hurricane Katrina was absolutely priceless (and right on the mark” Yeah, I still can’t get over Bush sending that Hurricane, what a racist. And how he subliminally told all those clowns to stay put when they had clearly been told to evacuate. That racist mofo. Kanye is an tiny angry shit and he needs to go jump off a bridge. Ben said:
@Scott: The issue with hurricane katrina was the poor response and lack of organization, effort, and focus of resources to helping the inhabitants (who were largely black) and the medias negative portrayl of them. Of course you could just ignore that and attempt to make a clever sarcastic comment that completely misses the point. Oh wait, you already did, and proceeded to showcase some epic fail. Thanks for laugh; you’re the only clown that I see bro! LL said:
hahahahhaha…I just went to dudeboy’s recommended website: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=puns Well articulated rage makes me horny. alnoga said:
Dear Dudeboy, t-dawg said:
i wouldn’t consider people running out of grocery stores with food looting, it’s necessary to survive, but when people are running out of stores carrying tv’s and all sorts of stuff like that then yes it is looting whether you are black or white, either way you should be shot. kanye needs to stop playing the race card and setting his entire race back, instead step up and do something about the way your community is looked at instead of whining about it and making yourself look like an asshole. ray said:
dudeboy : I also laughed when I saw “(no pun intended)” because of Maddox’s comment on that, but if you take that for cash, you missed a good article. Open your eyes man… To properly comment this article, I recommend you to see what happened to Noel Gallagher from Oasis on stage in Toronto : SativaBeliva said:
About 8 yrs back at an STP concert Wyland got pissed that someone threw a bottle at him, and offered anyone backstage tickets to rip all the dudes hair out of his head Ryan G said:
How about Chumbawamba and John Prescott…? Rass said:
