When METALLICA Trolled MTV Awards in 1996 (And Got Banned For Years)
”MTV executives notified the band Metallica that expletives were prohibited during their live TV performance and they were not allowed to use pyro. The band was upset by this so the band disregarded performing their scheduled single "King Nothing" and played the non-TV friendly songs "Last Caress" and "So What?", songs that contain numerous expletives, and reference rape, murder and bestiality, respectively.The result was the performance and any references to Metallica during the ceremony have been removed from future broadcasts of the ceremony. Metallica was banned from MTV (Europe Awards) for years following this act of rebellion.”

Not sure if I ever mentioned this here before but I was listening to Obscure Alternatives by Japan earlier today and I remembered fondly when I went to see them at Northampton Cricket Club (basically a big scout hut) in 1978 on their OA Tour. It's weird to say considering how much they changed so soon after this tour but my god, they were BRILLIANT live. I'd been to the venue (such as it was) a few times seeing quite a few punk bands like Generation X, Penetration, 999 and even Budgie once but Japan were something else.
I'd gone along to see them on the strength of ads in NME - the ones with a ladies hand in a gentlemans zipper that implored "get into Japan" and so they seemed like the kind of cheeky lads I'd dig seeing live. They were so exciting and unexpectedly rocking that I became quite a fan afterwards but it's funny as when they changed into the band that made Tin Drum I was a bit perplexed but my tastes had changed with their sound too. I never forgot that night in Northampton and remember buying a programme too which was something like 40p (sadly long gone) but I thought I'd share my memories with you of what were, to me, a really special band even in those early years.- I was just one year too young to go to this gig at the same venue...
