Not Having Brown M&Ms - Van Halen
The Brown M&M never gets respect (there's no Brown M character) and Van Halen is no exception. They used this policy because they wanted to make sure that their promoters have read the contract, since in one of their venues a roadie nearly got killed and wound-up with a damage bill of 85 grand!
Paul Warren
First Glam Metal band - Van Halen
Van Halen, who formed in the mid-1970s, are widely considered to be the first Glam Metal band, due to the fact that they succeeded in mixing the sounds of Pop and Heavy Metal, had a virtuoso lead guitarist and a flamboyant frontman and wrote songs about Sex, Rock And Roll and just plain having a good time, which is pretty much every Glam Metal band's requirements.

Getting Punched in the Face by Jack White. - The Von Bondies
The main singer of the Von Bondies, Jason Stollsteimer, was at a Detroit club in 2003 in support of a local band when Jack White wanted to speak to him. Stollsteimer refused, so White pinned him to a speaker and punched him in the face multiple times, even getting angered at Stollsteimer's unwillingness to fight. White was later charged to take anger management classes, as well as being fined. Stollsteimer left with a ridiculously mangled face, including a swollen right eye and a bloody nose. White had formerly produced the Von Bondies' debut album from 2001, "Lack Of Communication", and felt that the fight was a publicity stunt for their 2004 album "Pawn Shoppe Heart".
