ITT: Bands with at least one member who was legitimately batshit

>>50686192
they're nothing obscure m8, it's probably one of the most famous japanese band (not including jpop)

>>50686192
god shut up fuck

>>50686192
les rallizes denudes are obscure?

of montreal - pretty sure kevin doesn't have most human emotions
captain beefheart - obviously
burzum - obviously
c.c.c.c. - pretty sure it was them and this isn't really batshit crazy but the frontgirl used to do bondage porn which is p neato. did some lewd stuff at shows.

billy corgan is nuts. believes in chemtrails. uhhh deakin practices voodoo. william bennett has no dick and is also juntaro's dick. i can't really think of many sorry.

>>50686192
no need to be a douche man
anyway on topic captain beefheart. he was apparently a paranoid schizophrenic and did some real crazy shit during the trout mask replica era. there's tons of it in an interview john french did on some freewebs website somewhere

Pink Floyd

Also associating terrorist acts with batshit fucking crazy is a bit much OP.

play a strawberry

>william bennett has no dick
is this a joke or does he seriously have no dick cos i wouldn't be surprised
>and is also juntaro's dick
that 7" was sick

>>50686344
"william bennett has no dick" is a hanatarash album. it's a joke. they were quite fond of him. playful mockery.

>>50685838
That guy lives in North Korea now too since that hijacking, haha.

>>50686370
two japanoise acts made recordings regarding william bennett and penises
its a strange world

Charles Manson! xD

Sakevi from GISM?

>>50686293
>of montreal - pretty sure kevin doesn't have most human emotions
what makes you say that? He seems uber-emotional in a lot of his music

>>50686328
>Willing to die for idealogical beliefs imposed upon them by others
>Not crazy

nigga

>>50686344
Well yeah but Yamantaka Eye is legitimately batshit though. He almost sawed off his own leg by doing a backflip with a circular saw strapped to his back and everyone knows about the bulldozer

>>50686495
alejandro jodorowsky was planning to cut his arms off on film for his version of dune.

>>50686477
If I'm remembering right, they were all about trying to bring democracy to Japan.

If you think being willing to die for that is crazy, then there's a whole can of worms with plenty of political opinions all over the place
that you'll open.

>>50686426
Sakevi is definitely wacko. Actually assaulting his audience with a chainsaw and homemade flamethrower multiple times (both of which were actually recorded on video at least once), shooting actual firearms at live shows IN JAPAN. And he apparently was in jail for attacking some businessman with a flamethrower. Add some ties to the Yakuza with that. He's in jail right now and makes t-shirts and noise music in there.

>>50686545
They didn't want democracy you fucking idiot.

They wanted to bring communism to Japan.

>>50686520
I watched the documentary and I don't remember this. Are you sure this is true?

>>50686545
I guess it's not PC but I think it's fucking crazy and/or idiotic. That's just my opinion though

>>50686568
Oh right, my knowledge of Japanese terrorist groups is clearly lacking.

>>50686589
not necessarily "planning". but he did say that he would go that far for his work. and there was a scene in the film where a character (may have been his) had his arms removed. i believe he'd've done it. what's yer fav jodo film?

>>50686597
Well I mean if you're going to go through with a debate on the matter you should have the knowledge to back it up.

But it's cool, I'm just glad you weren't being a dick about it like that first replier

>>50686495
>you will never see hanatarash live

>>50686614
I've only seen Holy Mountain and El Topo but out of those two my favorite is definitely Holy Mountain. I tried watching Santa Sangre but I dropped it about halfway through because it was boring the shit out of me. I might try it again some other time though

>>50686624
Well when you really think about it the social order they were fighting for shouldn't really matter, in terms of craziness at-least. Having a belief worth fighting for shouldn't be measured (in craziness) upon your opinion of that belief, so democracy shouldn't really have been the largest part of my point.

But that's such a loaded and not related to music topic, that it's not worth discussing. I'll concede my stupidity and eagerness to argue without knowing what I'm talking about.

>>50686633
I really love Yamantaka Eye and think his journey through music is really interesting and probably reflects a lot about the journey he had inside of himself

>starts out as a crusty anarchist noisefreak who only wants to destroy everything with his nihilistic art and almost dies/becomes imprisoned a few times for it
>ends up getting through that and forming a band that isn't quite as chaotic and has an overall more positive aesthetic and sound, becomes pretty successful
>moves the band into a higher realm, starts wanting to make peaceful, happier music that invokes a sense of trance and dance within people
>ends up becoming a well-respected artist and does massive projects like the Boadrums and Seadrum

It's just weird to think that a Dadaist punk would end up becoming a sonic Shaman with rasta hair

>>50686656
santa sangre is sorta boring but i have only seen it once. el topo is my favorite. i like westerns. and it's just so silly. i love when he just abandons his son for the hot babe.

>>50686695
thanks m8

u seem like a cool guy ^-^

Bad Brains (HR - maybe paranoid schizophrenia?)
The 13th Floor Elevators (Roky Erickson - confirmed schizophrenia)
Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett)
Adam & The Ants (Adam Ant - bipolar)
The Vines (Craig Nicholls - Asperger's Syndrome)

>>50686737
I knew about all the others but what about HR makes you think he's schizo? I've never read anything about them that might suggest this.

>>50686734
You seem like a cool guy as well!

Listen to Mars Studio 1980 by LRD if you haven't already, the version of Night of the Assasins on that release is phenomenal. Also there's a version of Enter the Mirror with an organ and some 30~ minute Guitar Wolf sounding jam.

I'm pretty sure Youth, the bassist from Killing Joke, was once arrested for throwing burning money at people in his underwear outside of a bank.

Gary Numan has aspbergers. Also obviously Daniel Johnston.

>>50686812
>throwing burning money at people in his underwear outside of a bank.
hmmm this sounds more like some kind of political performance art

>>50686436
Have you heard him talk?

>>50686837
MONEY IS NOT OUR GOD

>>50686837
Or just one too many drinks..

>>50686712
autism: the post

>>50686568
>implying democracy isn't an inherent part of true communism

Get a load of this reactionary

>>50687224
They hijacked a plane and flew to North-Korea. Is North-Korea "true communism" to you?

>>50687106
I don't think you know what autism is m8
