Venom bassist/vocalist, Cronos (Conrad Lant) punched out Tom Araya of Slayer on a tour bus in Canada during the Venom/Slayer/Exodus tour in 1985.

Kerry once told me that Tom Araya got hammered on this tour and pissed on your head while you were asleep. And then you punched him out.
Yeah, that was just one of those unfortunate situations that happen on tour. Me and Tom are great friends. But he was drunk—we were all drunk, really—and I just made him understand that those sorts of things are unacceptable. [Laughs] I was sitting in the back of the bus, and he came back there with his dick out. When I turned around and looked, there were some wet bits in me hair. I thought he trickled some piss into me hair, so I just stood up and knocked him out. Where I come from, you don’t piss on people, you know? [Laughs] But we shook hands afterwards, and it was not a problem. The mark of a man is knowing when you ****ed up and then apologizing for it. You shake hands and you move on. When it happened, everyone thought Slayer were gonna get kicked off the tour, but there was no way in hell. If he’d been a dick, then yeah. But he manned up and apologized, so we moved on.


Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson apparently beat the sh*t out of Charles Manson at Wilson's house during a party in the Pacific Palisades before the infamous Manson Family murders occurred.

One day, according to songwriter Van **** Parks, Manson approached Wilson with a single bullet in his hand.

"What's this?" Wilson asked.

"It's a bullet," Manson reportedly replied. "Every time you look at it, I want you to think how nice it is your kids are still safe."

The intimidation ploy didn't work; Parks says Wilson proceeded to "beat the living s---" out of Manson, reducing him to tears "in front of a lot of hip people."

Alice Cooper is an avid golfer and credits the sport to "saving him from his demons.
Today, Cooper tries to play at least 36 holes a day and has released a book called Golf Monster: My 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict.

Taylor actually locked himself in a cupboard until the rest of Queen agreed to have his song on the B side of A Night at the Opera.

Taylor was extremely fond of "I'm in Love With My Car" and it remains the only song in Queen's history to be written entirely by him.

Understandable. IILWMC is a highlight on the Queen Rock Montreal live footage. For me anyway.

Bastille's bassist, Will Farquarson, is a qualified pilot.

Yep, Farquarson earned his flying stripes in March 2018

None of the Beatles could read or write sheet music.

Paul McCartney admitted this during an interview and said that he doesn't see music as "dots on a page" but rather "something in my head that goes on''.

And the whole band watched George Harrison lose his virginity and cheered when he finished.

This sounds weird but basically they all shared a room while touring in Hamburg, Germany. When George Harrison brought a girl back, he did the dirty underneath the covers while the rest of them were in bunk beds in the room

This is 2 songs melded together. Paul wrote the middle part (woke up,fell out of bed) and John the rest. Both songs were incomplete and both artists had no idea how to finish them. So they put them together and created one of the greatest songs ever.

Jeff's version is a beautiful tribute to it:

I had the pleasure of seeing him do it live. It was transcendent.
