I am beginning to think that there are no more Bad Boys in the 2000's.

This one is from the anti nowhere league. Very nasty story. Literaly bad ass
After bribing Rat Scabies in a bog hole at some shitty pub in the East End of London (two hundred quid I think) we got on a small tour up North with the Damned. We couldn’t afford hotels every night so we had to sleep in and under the van in the snow, but the Damned always fed us with their rider, which brings us to the famous carrot incident………….. Rat was giving it large in their dressing room after a show one night saying how he had seen all the rock and roll antics there was to see and nothing could shock him, Winston stood proud and bet Rat he could clear the dressing room within five minutes with just one antic. Rat took on the challenge, the dressing room was full of record company liggers, so Winston went to the food table pick up the largest object he could see which happened to be a 9 inch carrot, dropped his jeans and pants, dipped the carrot in mayonnaise, then in the pickle and then in the ketchup, he bent over and inserted the carrot right up his arse…………he pumped it in and out a few times by now everyone was looking on in silence, he then removed it from his arse licked off the mayo, pickle, ketchup and shit dressing and ate the carrot. Rat said “Oh @#$%& hell” and everybody ran out, we tucked into the rest of the food.
Anti-Nowhere League. Clive "Winston" Blake is the bassist.Quote

The only thing I really know about them comes from Metallica's version of So What:

Just the management? Think of the Zep's purported lover for ... um ... animal shows!
Peter Grant and John Bonham were basically thugs. They almost beat a guy to death in Oakland, along with Cole and John Bindon.Quote

Seems like it was really Richard Cole, who was always the main instigator; and road crew maybe. But after reading a book or two on LZ, and seeing interviews with all of them; I realized that the band could not be bothered with that kind of crap.
Actually, so many of these road stories seemed to build a band's mystique and image, but often the band had little to do with the action.

Just reading Wiki. It happened in Oakland '77. Supposedly one of Bill Graham's people slapped Grant's son for pulling down a sign backstage, and the four of them nearly beat him to death.Quote

And that would be the guy who stole money from the till? Or the guy selling bootleg merch?
Alot of those old stories blur together as it's been many years since I've read about that stuff - mostly in Hammer of the Gods (I think) when it was first published in the '80's.
But that book has been ridiculed by band members and those closest to the band as being mostly fictional.
Hammer of the Gods
"I think I opened [the book] up in the middle somewhere and started to read it, and I just threw it out the window". - Jimmy Page
"The guy who wrote that book knew nothing about the band. I think he'd hung around us once. He got all his information from a guy (Richard Cole)
who had a heroin problem who happened to be associated with us". - Robert Plant
"It's a very sad little book. It made us out to be sad little people. He ruined a lot of good, funny stories" - John Paul Jones
"Completely unreliable" - Peter Grant
