10 Times Musicians Got Naked Onstage
Nudity as an “offensive” act is a stupid concept, but thanks to countless generations of puritans, the only acceptable time to be without clothing is your few seconds of life outside the womb. After that, nudity is a statement, which these 10 acts performed to shock and awe.
From Red Hot Chili Peppers and blink-182 performing nude as a successful gimmick, to underground bands stripping down in the heat of the moment, whipping out your man or lady parts is a guaranteed way to get attention (or arrested), especially if you do it on television. It can be done in the name of a cause, like Rage Against the Machine’s 1993 protest against the PMRC, or just for the sake of it, like when Courtney Love exposed her breasts to the entirety of Australia.
