Rock N roll is built on uncontrolled rebellion, passion and spontaneity. So in other words it's not really made for the confines of live television, And that's what makes it so great when bands perform live on the small screen, you never know what kind of madness might happen, Check out the 10 most outrageous live TV performances in rock history.
The Who's On The Smothers Brother's Comedy Hour 1967.
Drummer Keith Moon wanted to make sure that his band ended their American network TV debut with a bang, So he bribed a CBS stagehand to stuff his drum kit with three times the usual amount of gunpowder for an extra special finale to their lipsync'd version of My Generation. The blast was so great that it rendered the television cameras temporarily blind, and caused guest Bette Davis to faint backstage Flying shrapnel from the symbols sliced Moon's arm, and guitarist Pete Townshend's hair was badly singed. In later years Townshend blamed the explosion on his severe hearing loss, Even if it's not true, it definitely deserves to be.
The Doors Go On The Ed Sullivan Show 1967.
When Ed Sullivan's producers booked the band to play their summer number one Light My Fire on the iconic Sunday night program, they forbade lead singer Jim Morrison from uttering the line Girl, we couldn't get much higher, because of its drug connotations. But as the live TV's rolled Jim sang the song as written causing a priceless smirk from guitarist Robby Krieger. Sure it's not very outrageous now, but it was shocking enough for Ed to ban them from his show for the rest of their all-too short career. When an infuriated producer informed the Doors that they'd been blacklisted, Jim allegedly spat back Hey man, We just did the Sullivan show.
Iggy Pop Goes Rogue Down Under 1979.
In the words of Rick James, cocaine is a hell of a drug, That's the only explanation we can think of for Iggy's whacked out and ultra jittery behavior on an Australian music show called Countdown. He greets the interviewer by yelling Hiya Darkface at him, before yelping G'day over and over again. The performance is even crazier, featuring a seriously hopped up Iggy jack knifing around the stage while lip syncing to I'm Bored, You definitely won't be bored watching this.
