Hawkwind apparently had some pretty insane shows... that spoken-word stuff on Space Ritual is absolutely nuts...

Jim Morrison sexually assaulted his bandmates.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney (I think) literally fought on stage in the early days.

Zappa just had a lot of satirical and comedy factors in his live
performance. In the earliest incarnation of the Mothers, there
was often sort-of a "happening" atmosphere, audience
members could be invited up to perform on the instruments,
there was a lot of provocation, once some Marines were invited
up to destroy a baby doll, there was a big giraffe puppet that
ejaculated whipped cream on the audience, etc. Later, with Flo
and Eddie there was lots of parodying the holy cows of the rock
world, the subculture of groupies, etc., sort of like a vaudeville
show or subversive circus. Later bands continued to satirize
existing rock idols, the madness of American culture, FZ was a
master of incorporating whatever was going on with the
audience or band members, and creating spontaneous art out
of it. I don't think any of that could be categorized as "insane",
as it was always handled in a methodical, intelligent manner.

     It depends on what you call insane, I've seen both Naked
City and Cobra live, and though the music was insanely
complex, there's a technical brilliance and control there that no
nutcake could muster. I do feel that Zorn's Naked City was a
real starting point for many of the interesting newer progressive
manifestations, post-modern, post-punk style collage things.
Mr. Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3, Thinking Plague, Hamster
Theater...it's hard to imagine any of this without Naked City.

Yup, saw a video of the Murder Junkies once - now there was a deranged performer. He certainly didn't let a lack of talent stop him from expressing himself.

The Tubes were insane.  Over the edge insane!

Some might name Magma too; the whole idea of the space-ship crew "Kreuhn Köhrman" (not sure about spelling; would have to look it up) from planet Kobah is absolutely whacko. And don't get me wrong: I love being whacko; I'm whacko myself!

Could you EVER just pick one of the bands in the poll???

What about ARCTURUS?
