Hardest-core thing you've ever seen/heard of?

What have you seen on stage or heard about and you just thought "hard-freakin'-core!"? The hardest core thing I've ever heard of is easily a TB'ers story about (I think their first) gig, and they got so nervous they threw up on the crowd...twice!

Let's leave Ozzy and his head-eating out of this one...let's share things we haven't all heard before.

At a black metal/extreme hardcore rock show here a few months ago, a singer got whipped in the mouth by his mic. One tooth out, and bleeding gums. He sang the entire set afterward (about 20 more min) with blood literally pouring from his mouth. Not a big guy by any means, I can't believe he didn't pass out.

My friend Al is a ledgend in his own mind and was so desperate to get one of his songs played on the radio that he drank a cup of spit that won him a contest to have it played. (played one time mind you)

I watched a Black Label Society dvd last week and Zack Wylde has the badass look and persona down. The camera zoomed in for a closeup and he spat a nice wad of phlegm right into the lens. He also would take a drink of beer, and then spit it onto the crowd, spray the rest of the can on them, and then throw the can at them. He also made it clear who he hates - he spent more time dissing Limp Bizkit than he did on Bin Laden.

As far as what I've seen in person, in my last band my guitarist stood up on top of the railing on a stage that was already a good 4 or 5 feet above the concrete floor. The railing is wobbly so of course he fell, and I thought he'd be done for the night. Nope, he sprang right back up, raised his fist, and rocked on. I think he was on a drug that begins with C.

There was a local rock band around here a while back (They disbanded now) but I remember once, before a show, the lead guitarist fell off his roof putting up a satellite dish and broke the heck out of his left hand. He showed up at the show from the hospital with this huge cast on his hand, cut it off, played the show perfectly, then went back to the ER to get another cast.

I was impressed by that.

Riggs from Rob Zombie's band and the singer from Rockbitch have done some questionably hard core things one stage. You'd have to look it up. it's too gross to explain

At my gig last night I played barefoot on a stage with some nails that hadn't been hammered in all the way (I'm comfortable barefoot, what can I say), while my guitarist leaped around on a broken ankle suffered a few days before and not in a cast yet.

The hardest core mf I can remember was when I was playing in a band called 'Sin and Damnation'. We had two gigs in one night. The Sax and the keyboard player had ran away with the money for the first gig. We played the second gig and was prepare to chalk up the 1st to expereince. The alto sax player said."Hey! If an MF owes me, he pays me!" And he searched for 6 days for them. He caught up with the drummer, pistol-whipped him, made him pawn his drums and made him pay everyone and $500 for making him find him. He wasn't a big guy, but he scared the **** out of me! Had a bad habit of "Keepin' It Real"!

The most hardcore thing I seen live i guess was at the slayer hatebreed show. And as soon as i will be heard came on i littearly seen 14 fights just erupt.

The most hardcore band is deffitnaly mayhem. Anybody whos in the black metal knows what im talking about their bass player Count Grishnackh killed their guitarist just to prove he was more evil.And their lead singer killed him self so their drummer made a necklace out of his skull and ate part of his brain and they took pictures of the singers suicide and put it on an album cover.

And he could play! Lord how he could play....I knew he was up for 10 to 15, about 20 years ago; lost track of him after that.

Ummm.. you don't EXACTLY have the story right, but I guess it's close enough.

not music related but it's so hardcore it transcends this discussion.

The dude that severed got trapped under the rocks an severed his own arm to escape.

Music related...I dunno, but it was probably miles who did it.
