OZZY OSBOURNE, TOMMY LEE Remember Their 'Most Spinal Tap' Moments

According to the New York Daily News, Guitar World magazine has culled several tales of excess from several rock gods while they still have some brain cells left. Paying homage to Rob Reiner's 1984 mockumentary, the mag asked each, "What's your most 'Spinal Tap' moment?"

Ozzy Osbourne remembers when he lost his patience with the midget BLACK SABBATH hired for a tour. "He showed up late, he drank....It got to me after awhile. So, one night, when he wanted to get on the tour bus, I threw him in the luggage compartment.

Somebody grabbed me and said: 'What you're doing is not only illegal but it's inhumane.'

"I lost it. I yelled: 'He's my [bleeping] midget and I'll [bleeping] do what I want with him.' There was a silence and then a small voice emerged from the luggage compartment: 'He's right: I'm his midget and he can do what he wants with me.'"

Tommy Lee recalls the time he sought retribution against a hotel that had evicted MÖTLEY CRÜE by putting some excrement "on a room service tray and placed it in the ventilator shaft, then turned the heat up."

Keith Richards remembers shooting a video that called for tramps with dogs. The director thought a dog should be "weird" or "disfigured," so "they called up some agency and the word came back 'We can get you a lame dog by noon. Which leg would you want missing?'"

Pete Townshend still savors the memory of THE WHO's first drummer, Keith Moon. Whether driving his Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool or pouring a can of soup into an airplane sickness bag, then pretending to drink his own "vomit," Townshend says, Moon "was 'Spinal Tap' incarnate."
