Some of it may have been very well embellished like the incident where Ozzy Osbourne purportedly bit off the head of a dove (he did in fact decapitate a bat accidentally)

Note to Trollheart: Alice Cooper was doing golf photo ops around 1974 or 1975. There was a short write up in Circus magazine that I remember. Like I said, I'm not sure if had a picture with Crosby but it was definitely feasible.
Oh right. I must have read your post wrong. I thought you said Manson was seen with Crosby.

All I'll say is that give Hell's Pit a shot before you pass complete judgement. They had their moment of being more hip hop, but they were still ICP so... I don't know. But that album was still their best showing as a hip hop group. But it also had a really great showing as a justification of horrorcore as a genre itself, while also being what ICP's thematic concept could be at its darkest. Not expecting you to love it or anything, but at least it'll hopefully affect your opinion of ICP as a group with no creativity. It's one of the most idiosyncratic hip hop albums I've ever heard by a wide margin and is worth hearing.

Just one ****ing album, so don't be TH.

Oh, you wish!
