What are some of their outrageous stage antics they used to pull?
• Shit Eating- According to an interview with Chris Holmes, he used to stuff chocolate bars down the back of his pants before the show. Later, he would reach down the back of his pants and smear the chocolate on Blackie’s face and mouth, then fling some out into the crowd. • Meat Grinder- Blackie would throw live rats into a meatgrinder, then crank the handle and pull out hamburger from underneath the grinder and fling it out into the crowd. • The Rack- They would bring out a large wooden case, like the one with the skeleton on the cover of the first album. Blackie would open it up to reveal a topless woman inside. He would then take out a large knife and simulate cutting her throat. This can be seen in the Japanese version of Live At The Lyceum, London. A tamer version can be seen during their cameo in the cheesey sci-fi film The Dungeonmaster. • Drinking Blood- Blackie would bring out a skull filled with blood. He’d then drink from it, pouring blood all over his face and chest. • Raw
