The ten most dangerous
Graeme Thomson lists the musicians you wouldn't want to meet on the mean streets .... then goes into hiding
Sunday November 11, 2007
The Observer
1. GG Allin
Unlike many in our ten he never actually killed anyone, but a decade of bloody, violent, shit-strewn gigs made the notorious 'scum punk' music's most consistent and confrontational threat. The man born Jesus Christ Allin in1956 rewrote the rule-book on audience participation, punching onlookers, defecating onstage, threatening suicide and demanding fellatio. Jailed several times, in 1989 he was arrested for the rape and torture of a woman; he was eventually found guilty of assault and jailed for 15 months. This deprived him of the chance to keep his promise to kill himself on stage in 1990. Allin proved to be a marginally bigger danger to himself than to anyone else. At a gig in New York in 1993, in which he knocked a photographer unconscious and then hurled himself through a glass door, he had to leave pursued by an angry mob. That night he died of a heroin overdose in friend Johnny Puke's apartment.
2. Leadbelly
First jailed as a teen for assaulting a 'truculent Dallas prostitute', Huddy Leadbetter shot and killed a man in 1918. Although later pardoned by a sympathetic prison governor, he was jailed again in 1930 - for assault with intent to murder - and 1939.
3. Bertrand Cantat
The front man of Noir Desir and perhaps France's most famous rock star, Cantat was released last month after serving half of an eight-year sentence for killing his mistress. Actress Marie Trintignant died after he punched her repeatedly while 'out of control.'
4. Big Lurch
The West Coast rhymer raised the rap 'n' violence stakes in 2002 when he was convicted of murdering Tynisha Ysais in her apartment and eating parts of her face and lungs while high on PCP. Currently serving a life sentence. Which is a relief.
5. La Musica Della Mafia
Specialis ts in ancient tarantelle describing the blood-soaked history of 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian Mafia; spokesman Francesco Sbano describes these scarily well-connected gents only as 'men of honour'. Let's leave it there, shall we?
6. Spade Cooley
'The king of western swing', star of his own 1950s TV show and a regular in B-westerns , Cooley killed his wife in 1961 by 'stomping her to death' in front of his 14-year-old daughter, after learning she wanted a divorce. He died soon after of a heart attack.
7. Hugh Whitaker
The Housemartins' innocuous looking drummer was banged up in 1993 for firebombing the house of a business associate and, according to Paul Heaton, 'hitting the guy straight on the head with an axe'. That'll do it every time...
8. Jah Cure
Jamaica's baddest reggae star was sentenced to 15 years in 1999 for raping a woman at gunpoint. Released on parole in July, Cure was due to play in the UK last month but was refused an entry visa due to his criminal conviction.
9. Varg Vikerns
The man behind black-metal Norsemen Burzum enjoys church burning and is currently doing time for murdering Mayhem's Oystein Aarseth in 1993. Due for release next year, despite escaping - briefly - with enough firearms to 'pass for a commando.'
10 Jim Gordon
Q: Which member of Derek and the Dominoes and co-writer of 'Layla ' murdered his mother with a hammer and knife in 1983, believing she was Satan? A: Not Eric Clapton. Psychiatrically disturbed drummer Gordon remains locked up.

Can't the Queen be petitioned to grant him a waiver?

Well there's dangerous and then there's dangerous...this list seem to be whack jobs as well. But dangerous to whom? Gary Glitter may not be dangerous to me but I wouldn't put him in charge of a day care. |
