    One of the best stories I read in Olivier Reeds biography. Keith flew his helicopter Oliver Reeds grounds with a angry Reed firing his hunting shotgun at him whilst landing. Once landed Keith and Reed hugged each other other as if nothing happened and continued the day drinking and partying

    I have this book with various crazy stories about rockers and there's a really good one about Keith Moon. Some guys on their road crew were former construction workers and used to work for the company that put up the buildings for this chain of hotels that they were staying at on one of their American tours. These hotels were these prefabricated buildings that could be taken down and put up using some sort of multi tool. They were always playing pranks on Keith and they used this tool they had to completely dismantle Keith's hotel room down to the bare. When they were done dismantling everything they piled the carpet and all the stuff in one corner . The doorway stood a few feet above the floor now instead of level with it. Instead of Keith walking in the hotel manager walked in, promptly fell.off the ledge, and broke his nose. Seconds later Keith Moon wanders by and wonders what's going on

      @Luckipete I was a Who fan. I was 23 when Moon died. You can go back to interviews given around the time of his death, and this was mentioned. He was devastated when he was fired from the band. It was one of the hardest decisions the band ever made. However, he could no longer play the drums on a reliable basis.

    Have you heard the story of when he was locked in his hotel room by the other members of The Who to keep him under control, but Oliver Reed was in the room next to him and he actually smashed a hole in the wall to go out on the town with his mate!!! Wild child to be sure, but he certainly could play drums, look at all the old videos, he uses every part of the kit!!!
