A band held concerts so deadly and dangerous, people had to sign a waiver before they attended!

Yamantaka Eye and Zeni Geva formed Hanatarash, a Japanese noise band, in 1984. The name means “sniveler” or “snot nosed.” The band used many different and unusual noise-making objects, including power tools and heavy machinery.

They became notorious for how dangerous their concerts were. In one instance, Eye cut a dead cat in half with a machete on stage. In another, he strapped a circular saw to his back and almost cut his leg off.

And in yet another, he destroyed part of a venue when he drove a bulldozer onto the stage. At a 1985 show in Tokyo, concert-goers were required to sign a waiver due to the possibility of harm.

The show was stopped when Eye planned to throw a lit Molotov cocktail onstage. Hanatarash was banned from performing until 1990 without their trademark violence.
