I heard there was some group that played naked at the End Times Fest - true?

I've been to a good number of shows myself, but have never had this happen to me (for better or worse).

I've actually never seen this happen and I saw the Jesus Lizard live at least four times in their heyday. I dunno. I saw saw Angus Young moon me but there's about a million people who can claim the same.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 04:32 (nineteen years ago)

actually I *did* see the RHCP come out with the socks tho, once

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 04:33 (nineteen years ago)

also I saw Janet Jackson's tit at the Super Bowl

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 04:34 (nineteen years ago)

I've definitely seen people get naked at shows (house shows), but it seems like doing it on stage would be sort of awkward, mainly for the pause it would insert into playing music.

Does seeing GG Allin naked count?

Crash Worship, yo. Several naked dancers pouring wine and milk on each other amidst the fireworks, smoke, and drums.

Electric Eel Shock. Drummer + his sock. Until someone dashes forward and takes it off of him.

Oh yeah.

Um I had tickets to this one show where Blind Melon opened for Lenny goddamn Kravitz and Shannon Hoon god bless him got arrested when he got naked and peeed off the front of the stage (onto the audience? I dunno) but my patrents wouldn't let me go because I got an F fuck you Ms. Harper.

Oh, and Peaches, but that don't count.

scissor sisters at the benicassim festival
(i can't remember the name of the singer, but i think it's even on the dvd!). they came back from the dressing rooms for the encore, and the singer was only wearing a small towel, which ended up being waved in the air!

Hmmmm....I seem to recall a New Pornographers/Rilo Kiley show where both Neko Case and Jenny Lewis stripped down to their birthday suits and serenaded some lucky guy in the audience.

I should clarify though that I recall this being from an excerpt of either ILX's I Love Pop Star Fanfic or I Love Pop Star Erotica and has little to no bearings on reality.

Dandy Warhols when Zia McCabe went topless, but she did that all the time so I'm not sure if it counts.

― Officer Pupp (Officer Pupp), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

I remember seeing Magic Dirt live one new years eve where many of the audience got naked, that being the precondition for dancing on the stage. Lubricated Goat played naked a few times - was never there though.

I thought Lub. Goat only ever did it for the 3-D Blah Blah Blah and got fed up with bookers expecting them to play nude after that...

― kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

boredoms @ the paradise, boston in 1993 or so. that other singer they had was wearing these huge pant held up by suspenders and they kept falling off. the sheepish grunge bouncer guy kept asking him to put them back on, but they kept falling down. then he bent over and eye put a mic right in his ass crack and sang into it. the bouncer's head exploded.

(no penetration, if that's not clear. that would just be gross.)

i seem to remember seeing daivd yow's wee-wee pop out his fly at the same venue around the same time. but i'd rather not discuss that.

"are you from vancouver, nickalicious?"

I was gonna ask! maybe it was a routine of his. i was in grade 6 or so at the time, and we couldn't imagine anything funnier ever happening ever! he PEED on the CROWD! it was at the pacific coliseum; i saw depeche mode + steely dan there.

he got sentenced to several days of community service, which he came back 6 mo. later to perform.

Reef (yeah, I know) at Bristol Ashton Court Festival in, hmmm, 1993 I think. Also included naked audience members on stage.

my first concert was Hole circa 94 and like every other hole concert, it featured a naked drunk courtney stage diving into the audience.

I have seen a photograph what appears to be a very lovely concert presented by Debbie Harry's nude vagina.

I mean, maybe it's just some high-definition cameltoe, but it sure looks like concert vagina.

So, while I haven't seen Debbie Harry's nude vagina live, I have seen enough to know that I would have liked to. You know, if it was the "real deal..."

Her vagina, I mean.

lisa suckdog and costes, then again seeing a show of theirs was MOSTLY naked--the costumes were like signifying props. and yes, she shaved at the time.

jesus lizard, obviously

and more recently the iggy pop show in nyc last year or so iggy's pants dropped about 2 inches too low.

which band was it that played completely ass-nekkid on ABC network television (the AUSTRALIAN abc that is)...i remember seeing that later on video...was it cosmic psychos or someone else? Imagine a really professional looking talk show soundstage with hairy naked rockers on it.

Where are teh pics?

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 10 July 2006 02:39 (nineteen years ago)

Ugh, I just had a horrible flashback to a scene I had blocked out of memory. Lollapalooza 1993 in Philadelphia and Rage Against the Machine decided to use their slot to make a protest against the PRMC by appearing naked with tape covering their mouths and the words PRMC on each member's chest. They stood there for what seemed like an ungodly amount of time with feedback in the background. I cannot seem to recall if they covered their naughty bits. Perhaps the overwhelming sight of Zach de La Rocha's manhood has scarred me for life.

― Jacobo Rock (jacobo rock), Monday, 10 July 2006 04:01 (nineteen years ago)

Um, I think that's PMRC... my apologies to Tipper Gore.

― xero (xero), Monday, 10 July 2006 04:07 (nineteen years ago)

x-post
Things like that are part of the reason why RATM are not really taken seriously.
The PMRC...in 1993...

I was 13 when they did that and remember thinking, "A bit late for that guys, isn't it?"

― Marmot 4-Tay: You are beautiful, and you are alone. (marmotwolof), Monday, 10 July 2006 04:10 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, exactly. It was a half decade too late. And it seemed like a misplaced protest since they were only punishing their fans who had paid to see them. But doing that in Philadelphia was, like, so symbolic or something...

Granted, from what I remember, watching them standing there naked was still better than suffering through Alice in Chains.

― Jacobo Rock (jacobo rock), Monday, 10 July 2006 04:15 (nineteen years ago)

I was late to that Lolla, so I "missed out" on RATM (or maybe it was Tool in my town?) entirely. AiC wasn't bad hwne I saw them, but looking at the lineup now, the only bands I was really down for back then were Dinosaur and Primus, and Primus was boring that night so we left early.
I also remember Babes in Toyland and Fishbone being ok, Arrested Development having a huge clusterfuck of people onstage but not making any impression on me musically, and poor Front 242 trying to employ a strobelight in broad daylight. No nudity, though.

― Marmot 4-Tay: You are beautiful, and you are alone. (marmotwolof), Monday, 10 July 2006 04:28 (nineteen years ago)

How the fuck did I do that?

"Mac got his knob out when I went to see the Bunnymen" - someone needs to write a song called this.

Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black was the best looking naked band. Kehmbra Phaler - for all her attempts to uglify herself via makeup- was a total knockout in the 90s, and probably is today.

15 years ago, the genitorturers had a pretty hot brunette slave that got naked onstage.

I've seen most of the nude dude bands mentioned upthread. Lux Interior was pretty funny when he whipped it out at the HOB in NO. The rest were kinda unecessary.

I've seen that Debby Harry pic, I think it's in a book called Rock and Roll Babylon (or maybe even a later edition of Hollywood Babylon). I remember thinking "Debby is not Harry."

And didn't certain L7 members flash tit regularly?

Daevid Allen supposedly whips it out on occasion, tho' not the two times I've seen him.
