Yahoo compiled a short list of the greatest music mysteries, hoaxes and rumors.
Check it out here:
http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/getback/103722/great-music-mysteries-hoaxes-and-scams/
While that’s a great list and I agree with all of it…I wanted to point out some other very important ones that they are missing:
- Keith Richards snorting his father’s ashes (how can they forget this one?)
- Led Zeppelin going on world tour and record new album (Page, Plant, Jones and Jason Bonham have been getting these rumors non stop since the great O2 reunion. The band only came back for that one gig, ever since then people never stopped talking about them touring when the band has denied it every single time)
- Jimmy Page being a devil worshipper…(Page has been accused of being supportive of Satan and the devil, due to his weird Black Magic and the song “Stairway to Heaven” being about something similar.)
- David Bowie is gay (like the article says, there were rumours of David Bowie sleeping with Mick Jagger, and David has been accused of being gay plenty of times over the years, but the man has always denied it. Sometimes he’s admitted to it and next thing he denies it back and forth. Reason people probably think Bowie is gay is because back in the 60’s and 70’s, David used to wear all this weird make up and costumes when he’s performing on stage.)
- Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” played backwards where there’s a line that says “it’s fun to smoke marijuana”.
- Jim Morrison is alive in France.
- Milli Vanilli was the first musician to get caught lip synching.
- David Lee Roth almost killed by eating peanuts, been hospitalized for it too while driving. Remember this story? Turns out that the guy that almost died eating peanuts wasn’t really him, it was a David Lee Roth look alike. The real David Lee Roth denied this story, sayin’ it was all bunch of baloney, and David is still alive and well.
I’m sure there are plenty of more. Feel free to name some that aren’t listed yet.

Jimmy Page was not a devil worshiper, but he might as well have been. He followed Aleister Crowley, owned an occult bookstore and publisher, owned Crowley’s house Boleskine on Loch Ness, recorded a soundtrack for a fellow Thelemite Kenneth Anger’s film, and was known to have a large personal collection of occult books. He has since renounced it all.
Bowie is bisexual and has said as much. Watch this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYwJpi3Dtmw He lets a man kiss him on the lips and then pushes a woman away when she tries the same.
Milli Vanilli didn’t get busted for lip synching. No one would care about that, people have been doing it since the introduction of sound in movies. They were busted for getting a Grammy when they couldn’t even sing, it was hired session singers that are on the record, not the two people you see in the videos who were hired for their looks and dancing abilities. The music sucked anyway.

Well David kissing a man on a video, could have been fake and acting just for the video alone. Never compare fiction to real life. Bowie may have came out of the closet way back in the 70’s and talked about it to Blender magazine in 2002, but of course wikipedia is not always the most reliable source. He did confirm however that his gay personality was a huge mistake in life, and it’s always possible to get out of the gay lifestyle and go straight, which David did. He is currently married to a black woman named Iman, they have kids together too. David Bowie’s orientation has always been questionable.
David being bisexual could be a bunch of baloney and gossip. That’s why it’s considered a big hoax in the music industry. You’ll never know what David really is: straight, gay, bi, whatever.
I can understand David being afraid to talk about it, because what he does, is his business and no one elses. It’s all up to him if he wants to talk about his private sex life publicily.

Just added another one I forgot about. David Lee Roth dying of eating peanuts claiming he was allergic to them. Totally forgot about that one. I’ll add more when I come up with more. 🙂

Actualy, the DLR (David Lee Roth) story is about a DLR (David Lee Roth) imposter getting pulled over in Canada I think. He fooled the cops. Don’t know if the imposter is allergic to peanuts or not. At the time this occurred the real Dave was doing his daily routine of 3 hours of kata. When reached for comment, the real DLR (David Lee Roth) said “That was not me. I am not allergic to peanuts. The only thing I’m allergic to is criticism”. Dave is the Don Rickles of rocknroll.
