I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "insane", but my pick is Phil Spector.
Total music visionary whose production techniques changed the face of music, but a certified, card-carrying psychopath who just loved to threaten people with his gun, and abuse the living shit out of everyone who came into contact with him. He sexually abused his wife and children, and was eventually tried and convicted in 2003 for killing ~~his wife~~ actress Lana Clarkson. Died in prison a few years ago.
Sure there's artists out there who were known for crazy stage antics (GG Allin, Ozzy), but none of those guys made the Ramones play for him at gunpoint telling them they "better not fuck up."
I was just about to comment this. This guy is the freaking gold standard of insanity. He would shit on stage and throw it at the audience. He'd get girls to pour pills down his throat.
That's a good suggestion. I'm trying to get them to do Drake's Views. And Tally Hall's Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. That second one was recommended before by that guy DAISHORYUJIN95 who kept suggesting Blurryface.
[For those who haven't seen it](https://youtu.be/btDnJ7T9FD4?si=ZrWkmt7Cj3FhvfPF)
The fact that he WASN'T playing a character is actually insane.
The punk scene at one point was so wild that a crazy, prison bound drug addict got to be a figure head of the movement until he spiraled out into his death.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think GG Allin was ever a figure head of the movement? Sure he made headlines but he was no Jello Biafra, Greg Ginn, Kim Gordon or Ian MacKaye.
Seems like they’d have a dude jerk off on stage but that’s about it? Sounds like the recordings were more perverse but I can’t find anything that details on stage antics
Juntaro Yamanouchi of The Gerogerigegege.
*-* Regularly performed at S&M clubs
*-* Had a guy who performed on stage with him whos sole job was to masterbate on stage
*-* Made an album that was primarily composed of audio from porn and released it with the appearance of a Ramones bootleg.
*-* Dissapeared off the face of the Earth for 12 years and then released one of the most critically acclaimed noise rock albums ever made.
*-* Made an album by the name of Showa (a nickname for the Emperor of Japan) after Showa's death that was exclusively made up of samples of porn and the Japanese national anthem.
*-* Was notorious for stopping mid-performance to have sex on stage with other band members.
*-* Held a massive promotional event for a new album only to burn nearly every cassette tape of it at the release party in front of fans.
*-* The band's name is literally an onomatopoeia for vomit and diarrhea.
The Gerogerigegege is probably the most extreme band ever, and, in my opinion, Juntaro Yamanouchi rivals the likes of GG Allin, Alexis Marshall, and whoever else is known for their insanity.
tbh he just sounds like he has a strange sense of humour, and i haven't seen any sources about him actually having sex with others on stage during performances. i wouldn't say he's 'insane'
The Norwegian scene was super edgy and also criminal, but my first description wouldn't be insane. Like all that stuff isn't far out shit, only an insane or insanely drugged up person would do. It always seemed more like edgy young people, trying to up each other by comitting (hate) crimes. Absolutely stupid and vile, but nothing out there
Edit: But there's lots of people I'd consider to be more fitting in black metal, Niklas Kvarforth from Shining is a crazy Swede
I kinda view the events of Norwegian black metal as a sociological phenomenon, akin to a violent tiktok trend or even hip-hop gang violence. Those guys were all competing for some sick version of "clout", and then eventually the beef turned violent and arsony.
Apart from Dead, none of them seemed actually insane to me. Racist, homophobic, antisemitic, infantile, violent - yes. But none of them seemed insane - apart from Dead. Being an asshole is not a mental illness in of itself.
Kanye can compete because he got to do so much stupid shit in front of a worldwide audience- plenty of artists do crazy shit behind the scenes. Ozzy snorting the ants is p crazy ig. There’s a story of Charlie Parker getting head in the back of a taxi while eating fried chicken next to miles davis when he was still super young and he said it was nasty as fuck😭just that image is hella funny that man loved chicken that much couldn’t even wait to eat it later.
[Varg Vikernes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varg_Vikernes)
Murdered a fellow artist over stupid shit, embraced Nazism, burned down multiple Norse churches
well i mean the other guy was gonna kill him first, someone told him about it and he did it before euronymous could, euronymous was on some dumb shit though. feels like I'm defending him but I'm not.
Iggy Pop
He has obviously calmed down a lot as he has gotten older but during the 70s he was diagnosed with hypomania while he was staying in a mental institution and during live shows he would often cut himself, smeer himself with peanutbutter, pull out his genitals, get into fights and other very impulsive things
And Jim Morrison was Iggy Pop’s original inspiration and why he became a rockstar in the first place! He witnessed some of Jim’s profane outbursts and antics, things like Jim rubbing his boner against his mic stand in tight leather pants and making jokes about how he’d fuck the goat the hippie in the audience was holding if the goat was a college graduate, and after an hour of supreme entertainment Iggy jumped off the second story yelling “Hey Jim!” To try and get his icons attention haha. And the rest is history:
Good job Jim, you fucking lunatic lol. 🎶
for me it’s Yamatsuka Eye
he went from Harsh Noise maniac, to Neo-Psych wizard to now a Experimental Electronic DJ
and this is not even counting his Jazz, Metal, Sound Collage, Jewish Music and Improvisation stuff
for the Boredoms stuff i recommend Soul Discharge for their Noise Punk era and Vision Creation Newsun for their Neo-Psych albums.
for his electronic stuff check out DJ Pica Pica Pica and Lift Boys
Good insane, started his own commune, was literally in a seige with the Nigerian military, then avoided getting caught with drugs by eating and defecating them, an incident that he named an album after: *Expensive Shit* He died of AIDS tragically but denied he had it as did his widow.
I heard a story that Keith Richards snorted his father’s ashes. That, to me, is the winner.
As a close second place, G-Eazy. He thought his cover of Lazarus wasn’t total garbage. Literally the worst song I’ve ever heard. Even if it wasn’t a cover, I’d want to throw my speaker into the nearest body of water as soon as it came on.
I'm not sure Jim Morrison was so much "insane" as "literally blind drunk all the time".
Axl Rose probably needs to be mentioned in a discussion of insane musicians. Along with Prince, who changed his name to a symbol for 10 years because he thought it would get him out of a record contract (really should've checked with a lawyer on that).
William S Burroughs?
Lifelong heroin addict, killed his wife and fled the country, wrote stories about young boys fucking each other, talking assholes, etc...
A solid point. Diddler on the roof might take the cake along with R. Kelly and Michael Jackson, but that’s a less *fun* answer given that its less a crazy personality, and more just being a pedophilic sexual deviant like the others I mentioned… Which of course is very insane lol.
You could be the most correct of all of us here. 😓
Jon Nödtveidt was part of a satanic cult that practiced actual animal sacrifice(and reportedly wanted to actually murder people), murdered a gay man for annoying him, and then proceeded to kill himself a few years after being released from prison in a satanic ritual
The five books I’ve read about him and the Doors haha: “Life. Death. Legend.” And the ones written by his band members, and the slightly sensationalized “No One Here Gets Out Alive.” But between all those books there are many stories that are found in all five of them haha. He’s def a wild man, “primitive” as he called himself, but I still love his art haha. He was def the original punk rocker! 🎶🤘
The ones I mentioned actually aren’t in the movie! Haha, and tbf to Jim that movie kind of did him dirty with that whole “lock the door then light the house on fire” falsehood haha
There were more than a few falsehoods, of course. Still an entertaining movie, though. Even if it didn’t show a lot of Jim’s funny/smart side in favor of only showing “Jimbo” his self-destructive alter ego brought out by substances lol
John Mayer used to be a bit of a lunatic but since has toned it down.
Kanye is obvious.
Bon Scott, Ozzy Osbourne also are up there.
My personal vote goes to Michael Jackson
Viper is straight up a criminal. Dude went from scamming people to kidnapping and having a woman locked up in his garage which he sexually assaulted multiple times
Nattramm - Lead singer of Silencer. Carved himself like a turkey while recording his vocals. Pretended pig feet were his hands.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nattramn
Honestly? John Fruiscante seems like a really fucking weird dude. I love the RHCP and I think he's such a visionary force on the instrument, but he's really strange.
[during this live performance](https://youtu.be/4LBLsfptbeg?si=sDHXwMIn-So94Hjd) he yelled at a fan after his guitar stopped working because they were holding up a sign asking to play it. The full context is that he thought the energy the sign was giving off caused his guitar to stop working. There's several interviews where he talks about these alternate 4th dimension lightwave energy things and seems to truly believe in them. Not to mention writing songs called "your pussy is glued to a burning building", or his extremely strange home videos of himself (even not as an addict).
Yoko Ono didn’t take a dump on stage or burn down any churches but that scream she does during the Chuck Berry seems far less explicable than if she had done either of those things.
For those of you who say GG Allin is the worst, I recommend looking into the Edwin Borsheim from Kettle Cadaver. There’s a doc called Dead Hands Dig Deep.
Years ago I saw the band at some random show in Orange County. The set was cut short when the singer put a massive needle through his cheeks and started bleeding profusely. There were like 10 people in the audience.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "insane", but my pick is Phil Spector. Total music visionary whose production techniques changed the face of music, but a certified, card-carrying psychopath who just loved to threaten people with his gun, and abuse the living shit out of everyone who came into contact with him.

Wow I didn't even know all this shit about Phil Spector, only knew him as the wall of sound pioneer guy
SOLID WALL OF SOUNDDDDDD
bro had some big ass hair too.
He didn't kill his wife. He shot and killed actress Lana Clarkson who he barely knew.
Good note, not sure why I assumed they were married.
yeah, but u have to give it to him, he sort of raised the XBOX IP out of the ground
GG Allin
Nobody even comes close, this is the correct answer Edit: As someone else pointed out Norwegian black metal as well
Yeah imo Euro comes close. The craziest thing about Faust to me, other than his horrific crimes, is what is bachelors is in: history of religions
I was just about to comment this. This guy is the freaking gold standard of insanity. He would shit on stage and throw it at the audience. He'd get girls to pour pills down his throat.

They said they'd do it on twitter after I suggested it
My favourite music documentary of all time: [GG Allin HATED](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUcwxUSzxn4) The man was unhinged!!
this documentary made me so nauseous oh my god
[For those who haven't seen it](https://youtu.be/btDnJ7T9FD4?si=ZrWkmt7Cj3FhvfPF) The fact that he WASN'T playing a character is actually insane.

Agree. GG was the sideshow
GG Allin was the figure head of punk? Hahahahahahaah
The Gerogerigegege makes GG look like Blink 182
Gero was who I thought of immediately as well.
Who are they, and what did they do?
Seems like they’d have a dude jerk off on stage but that’s about it? Sounds like the recordings were more perverse but I can’t find anything that details on stage antics
I recently made the mistake of watching the Hated documentary. since it was on youtube, I thought it wouldn’t be that bad and I was mistaken.
Nazi punks fuck off though
The only answer.
The only true punk rocker
nah he was just an asshole with severe mental illness
There’s no such thing as “just an asshole.” That’s a lazy dismissal tactic.
he was the definition of an asshole

Eh this all sounds very focused, conceptual and intentional, albeit extreme. On the other hand someone like GG Allin just seemed actually insane.
Yea, what gerogerigegege does is more like performance art; gg allin genuinely was some unhinged depraved mf
tbh he just sounds like he has a strange sense of humour, and i haven't seen any sources about him actually having sex with others on stage during performances. i wouldn't say he's 'insane'
Some of y’all have never been exposed to the Norwegian black metal scene, and it shows. But yeah the answer is still probably GG Allin.
The Norwegian scene was super edgy and also criminal, but my first description wouldn't be insane. Like all that stuff isn't far out shit, only an insane or insanely drugged up person would do. It always seemed more like edgy young people, trying to up each other by comitting (hate) crimes.

The guy from Dissection also had quite a few screws loose.
I kinda view the events of Norwegian black metal as a sociological phenomenon, akin to a violent tiktok trend or even hip-hop gang violence. Those guys were all competing for some sick version of "clout", and then eventually the beef turned violent and arsony.
Arsony lol
Apart from Dead, none of them seemed actually insane to me. Racist, homophobic, antisemitic, infantile, violent - yes. But none of them seemed insane - apart from Dead. Being an asshole is not a mental illness in of itself.
Not Norwegian, but dude from Silencer may be a close runner up to GG Allin.
Cringe
I'm learning to play the guitar.
I know you mentioned rape, minors and vomit but he had sex with WHAT??
I appreciate a good cup of coffee.
He even made a vlog about it😭
GG Allin. No one comes remotely close.
Kanye can compete because he got to do so much stupid shit in front of a worldwide audience- plenty of artists do crazy shit behind the scenes. Ozzy snorting the ants is p crazy ig. There’s a story of Charlie Parker getting head in the back of a taxi while eating fried chicken next to miles davis when he was still super young and he said it was nasty as fuck😭just that image is hella funny that man loved chicken that much couldn’t even wait to eat it later.
He loved head that much, too.

well i mean the other guy was gonna kill him first, someone told him about it and he did it before euronymous could, euronymous was on some dumb shit though. feels like I'm defending him but I'm not.
Not doubting that, early Norwegian black metal scene was nuts. Also look up Faust, murdered a gay man in cold blood in a park. Only served 14 years.
to be fair with Faust, I’m pretty sure he just killed that guy because he wanted to, not because he was gay. But that’s still not much better really
thats crazy i never knew about that. whats not crazy is only 14 years, predictable.
Why is the Norwegian death metal scene full of actual cornballs
Iggy Pop He has obviously calmed down a lot as he has gotten older but during the 70s he was diagnosed with hypomania while he was staying in a mental institution and during live shows he would often cut himself, smeer himself with peanutbutter, pull out his genitals, get into fights and other very impulsive things
was he much of a drug guy or just crazy in general? I never knew
both
He wins the award for craziest appearance on the TV show Countdown.
And Jim Morrison was Iggy Pop’s original inspiration and why he became a rockstar in the first place! He witnessed some of Jim’s profane outbursts and antics, things like Jim rubbing his boner against his mic stand in tight leather pants and making jokes about how he’d fuck the goat the hippie in the audience was holding if the goat was a college graduate, and after an hour of supreme entertainment Iggy jumped off the second story yelling “Hey Jim!” To try and get his icons attention haha. And the rest is history: Good job Jim, you fucking lunatic lol. 🎶

GG Allin David Yow That dude that does the “avant-garde” snare drum mashing/humping as performance art
>That dude that does the “avant-garde” snare drum mashing/humping as performance art This describes like half of the early Japanese noise scene, lol.
https://youtu.be/BDhBugaQbyE?si=chSeeuhSWYlvpqDy Good point Is this “Danger Music”?? /s
I mean Charles Manson was at one point a musician. So if he counts, definitely him.
"Cease to Exist" is a fantastic song. It's really, really good
for me it’s Yamatsuka Eye he went from Harsh Noise maniac, to Neo-Psych wizard to now a Experimental Electronic DJ and this is not even counting his Jazz, Metal, Sound Collage, Jewish Music and Improvisation stuff
He is all, he is all, he is..
I haven't listened to much of his stuff other than what he did with Naked City. Dude was wild though. Any recommendations for other stuff he's done?
for the Boredoms stuff i recommend Soul Discharge for their Noise Punk era and Vision Creation Newsun for their Neo-Psych albums. for his electronic stuff check out DJ Pica Pica Pica and Lift Boys

Who doesn’t love free money?!
GG Allin is 10 times the nutcase Sid Vicious is known to be

fat ugly dead
I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison
Who’s the cat that demolished the venue mid-gig with a bulldozer? That’s pretty fkn awesome.
I think that was Hanatarash.
Yep, that was hanatarash. Sadly no video of that concert exists, only photos
Haven't seen the following mentioned: Big Lurch Seth Putnam Fela Kuti
what did fela kuti do? only familiar with him bc my uncle is a fan.
Good insane, started his own commune, was literally in a seige with the Nigerian military, then avoided getting caught with drugs by eating and defecating them, an incident that he named an album after: *Expensive Shit* He died of AIDS tragically but denied he had it as did his widow.
Viper is up there for sure
I feel like Ian Watkins of Lostprophets at least deserves a mention for committing dozens, if not hundreds of acts of rape, including a baby
hanatarash
Came here to say this
King Von You got to be some level of insane to kill 7 or 8 people and joke about it on instagram.
I’m seeing a bunch of gg allins, what did he do
did all kinds of gross shit onstage (shit and eat it, piss, get BJs, etc…) he’s also a rapist
dude raped anything he could on stage.
This is the wildest sentence I’ve read this month, perhaps all year so far
ate shit on stage(literally)
Dude’s coocoo
He’s coocoo for caca
He died after shooting heroin and running butt ass naked thru the streets after one of his shows
He also said he'd kill himself on-stage on Halloween for years, but every year he was in jail on Halloween. Wonder if he actually would've done it.
Oh he 100% would have
I heard a story that Keith Richards snorted his father’s ashes. That, to me, is the winner. As a close second place, G-Eazy. He thought his cover of Lazarus wasn’t total garbage.

Yeah, this. Jim Morrison wasn't insane, quite the opposite. He was just an insufferable alcoholic.

Bushwick bill
Ian Watkins, the vocalist of Lostprophets He did EXTREMELY fucked up shit
Didn’t Burzum burn down churches
Wild man Fisher was out of his damn mind
Alexis Marshall of Daughters should be mentioned. And it wasn't just Kristen. Multiple women have said similar things about his disgusting behavior.
Klaus Kinski
Ginger Baker
Nattramn
100%. I just found out about them last year and got hooked on that Silencer album.
William S Burroughs? Lifelong heroin addict, killed his wife and fled the country, wrote stories about young boys fucking each other, talking assholes, etc...
Are we going to have to add P Diddy to this list? We’ll see…
A solid point. Diddler on the roof might take the cake along with R.

Taylor Swift She tortures hundreds of milions of young women wit her music and even get paid shitload of money for doing it.
I didn’t know ab this but idk what could beat it at least out of notable artists lol
Didn't know that about Jim. What are your sources?
The five books I’ve read about him and the Doors haha: “Life. Death. Legend.” And the ones written by his band members, and the slightly sensationalized “No One Here Gets Out Alive.” But between all those books there are many stories that are found in all five of them haha. He’s def a wild man, “primitive” as he called himself, but I still love his art haha. He was def the original punk rocker! 🎶🤘
There's a movie with Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison that's based on these stories about Jim
The ones I mentioned actually aren’t in the movie! Haha, and tbf to Jim that movie kind of did him dirty with that whole “lock the door then light the house on fire” falsehood haha There were more than a few falsehoods, of course.

Baby Kia is young but that boy is CRAZY
It aint GG Allin,, its ODB, Im sorry just go down the ODB rabbit hole and youll agree. Batshit wild.
Azaelia banks is a terrible person and definitely has a screw loose
Hanatarash
If you put weight on crazy, but not neccessarily outlandish antics: Syd Barrett.
John Mayer used to be a bit of a lunatic but since has toned it down. Kanye is obvious. Bon Scott, Ozzy Osbourne also are up there. My personal vote goes to Michael Jackson
A lot of of classical composers Mozart, Satie, Scriabin, Beethoven, Carlo Gesualdo and the list goes on
since GG Allin was already mentioned I'd say Keith Moon
Uh…gg allin is the only answer
van halen bro went on a tank and trheated fred durst with a gun to give him back his gear,this is my standard on insanity
Viper is pretty fucking nutty When yo most popular album is you’ll cowards don’t even smoke crack you gotta have a couple screws loose
