47. The Who Destroyed An Entire Hotel

Given that Keith Moon, prior to his tragic and untimely death, had a bit of a penchant for explosives, we didn't even have to fact check before we were sold on this one. It turns out it's absolutely true.

But it's not all that bad - they only destroyed a Holiday Inn. At least it wasn't the Hilton, right? Surprisingly, it didn't take long for hotels to refuse to accept The Who at their lodgings after they heard of Moon's reputation. Sadly, the Holiday in in Michigan found out the hard way when they hosted The Who in 1967 on Moon's 21st birthday. Moon lost a substantial amount of his tooth, so whilst he took a trip to the emergency room, the band went about clocking up a $24,000 bill.
