Safety first!
He took self destruction to a whole other level.
What is cool about this? This is something only a complete asshole would do.
Yeah stuff like this is super romanticized but a huge amount of "cool rockstar antics" were just straight asshole behaviour
what a twat
Legend
Yeah fuck this guy. He killed his limo driver, was a raging addict, nearly got kicked out of a highly successful and lucrative band, and died at 32 as a fat, bloated loser.
He killed his limo driver?!!! Never heard this.
He was driving drunk and accidentally ran his chauffeur over
You make it sound like it was all a bit of a laugh, from Wikipedia:
On 4 January 1970, Moon accidentally killed his friend, driver and bodyguard, Neil Boland, outside the Red Lion pub in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Pub patrons had begun to attack his Bentley; Moon, drunk, began driving to escape them and hit Boland. After an investigation, the coroner ruled Boland's death an accident; Moon, having been charged with a number of offences, received an absolute discharge.[145] Those close to Moon said that he was haunted by Boland's death for the rest of his life. According to Pamela Des Barres, Moon had nightmares (which woke them both) about the incident and said he had no right to be alive.[146]
I wasnt intending to make it sound like a joke, sorry if it came across that way.
Well maybe if his chauffeur was doing his job, it wouldn't have happened
Silly numpty cuntbubble
Oh, Keith Moon definitely knew how to make an exit! Blocking off the street to toss out his hotel room contents? Now that's rock 'n' roll madness at its finest.
Very wise madness.
