The most bananas stories and insane 100% true tales about the lives and behind-the-music antics of your favorite rock stars and legendary bands.

Freakin' Rock Stars

The Eagles

While one of the most popular and best-selling bands of all time, The Eagles aren't necessarily thought of in the same vein as&nbsp;hard partying bands like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/review/the-rolling-stones/2217975" target="_blank">The Rolling Stones</a>. The Eagles' smooth vocals and soft rock sound paint images of relaxing ocean sunsets and gentle breezes, not drug addiction and backstage fights. The reality, however, is totally insane.&nbsp;From their formation in 1971 to their dramatic disbanding in 1980, The Eagles not only dominated the charts with gentle country-rock ballads,&nbsp;they also racked up an impressive amount of crazy tales&nbsp;that rival hard rockers like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/crazy-led-zeppelin-stories/harrison-tenpas" target="_blank">Led Zeppelin</a> and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/wild-guns-n-roses-stories/brandon-michaels" target="_blank">Guns N'&nbsp;Roses</a>. This list breaks down some of the most insane groupie stories, backstage blowouts, and police run-ins from those&nbsp;peaceful, easy feelers, The Eagles.

Andrew W.K.

When it comes to celebrity conspiracy theories, musicians seem surprisingly adept at inspiring unbelievable stories. From pop singers allegedly <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mk-ultra-victims/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">under MK Ultra mind control</a>&nbsp;to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/avril-lavigne-replaced-with-body-double/veronica-walsingham" target="_blank">an Avril Lavigne theory</a>&nbsp;that contends the singer died in 2004, the music industry attracts attention beyond tabloid rumors. An Andrew W.K. theory proves conspiracies aren't exclusive to massive acts that sell out arenas - even humble, party-loving rockers can generate mysteries worthy of a pushpin-and-string-covered corkboard.This particular theory contends that a look-alike actor replaced the real Andrew W.K. (born Andrew Fetterly Wilkes-Krier) in 2005. While the conspiracy seems crazy, there is enough evidence to make&nbsp;this&nbsp;off-the-wall idea appear plausible.&nbsp;The evidence points to label disputes and the whims of a mysterious man named Steev Mike. There's even speculation that W.K. could have ties&nbsp;to the occult. Is Andrew W.K. a party-rocking puppet or&nbsp;just a celebrity who loves stoking controversy?

Fan Theories

In the Golden Age of Television, where story arcs hold tremendous weight, discussions about&nbsp;extended universes remain&nbsp;common among fans. On the surface, the idea is&nbsp;simple: shows that share characters and locations <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-shows-that-could-actually-exist-in-the-same-universe/anncasano" target="_blank">potentially&nbsp;exist in the same&nbsp;universe</a>. For example, fans theorize&nbsp;Friends and Mad About You live in the same world since they share a character -&nbsp;Phoebe’s identical twin sister, Ursula Buffay.&nbsp;One shared universe theory, though,&nbsp;ties together the majority of American TV shows in a way almost difficult to comprehend. Called “<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tv-show-fake-tommy-westphall-universe_us_55f84ba1e4b00e2cd5e8118a" target="_blank">The Tommy Westphall Universe</a>,&quot; it stems from the series finale of hospital drama St. Elsewhere. Though not necessarily one of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-series-finales" target="_blank">the best TV finales</a>,&nbsp;St. Elsewhere's final episode launched a theory asserting that&nbsp;90% of American television shows all exist in the mind of a child.&nbsp;

Candy

This list of the best peanut butter candy includes only the greatest candy with peanut butter in it. Anyone with a sweet tooth who also doesn't have a peanut allergy has a favorite peanut butter candy. So, what is the top peanut butter candy? Whether you prefer it in cups, bars, balls, or pieces - you’ll find your favorite in this list.&nbsp; &nbsp;While this list is about determining once and for all which peanut butter candy is the best, it’s important to remember that pretty much all candy with peanut butter in it is pretty great. After all, it’s candy... with peanut butter in it! How can you mess that up? Chocolate is good, but it tastes way better when it’s mixed with peanut butter. The same goes with taffy. If it tastes like PB, it’s A-OK.&nbsp; &nbsp;Reese’s may have the most varieties of great peanut butter candy, but is Reese’s the best peanut butter candy? E.T. loved Reese’s Pieces, but do you also think they’re out of this world? There may be no wrong way to eat a Reese’s, but would you want to chew on a classic peanut butter candy like Mary Jane instead? Maybe you're from Ohio and, in defiance, would refuse a store bought treat in preference of a homemade batch of Buckeyes. With so many varieties of peanut butter candy, it can be hard to decide which is the best overall peanut butter treat, but the time has come to decide. Vote up your favorite peanut butter candies below!
