  • It was Shep Gordon, Alice`s manager, who threw the chicken on stage.

  • Ozzy Osbourne deliberately killed his wife and he got off scot free.

  • @MrSgnobodi That rumour started off about Frank Zappa. It was alleged he said no one in the audience could out gross him, someone came up and took a dump on stage, Zappa then ate some of it. Welcome to urban legendland.

  • The rest of the rumor was that he'd offered anyone who could out-gross him $10,000 & 1 guy came up & took a crap on stage, then ate a piece & he won the $10,000 These ridiculous rumors were pushed by their manager Shep Gordon who believed any publicity was good publicity. They also spread a rumor that the guys were transgender. All fake, but the SHOCK-ROCK thing paid off in spades. Glad they made it cause I love the original band members & all Alice has done since (Except the Nu-wave years)

  • The rumor was that he released chickens onto the stage and (wearing army boots) stomped them to death. They purposely spread false rumors for the controversy which became FREE PUBLICITY. I remember when I was still in Jr High school one of the rumors was Alice had a grossout contest on stage and he passed around a cup in the front row and everyone spit in it and then Alice drank it. Obviously that never really happened.

  • Oh yeah, I vaguely remember hearing about this. It was one of those seminars during the 80's when there was that big scare about the "dangers of rock music", blah, blah, blah. They did have a point though. People do some crazy shit at concerts they wouldn't normally do. The crowds get whipped into a frenzy that often turns violent.

  • he could have ended up in the grocery store, better off at a cooper concert

  • @04h239 Fuck You!!

  • @moosepoop69 sometimes singer changes the words during gig... Listen some live performances of kiss, mötley, led zeppelin they all do it...

  • Fucking chickenlovers.
