All of the songs for Animal Collective's album "Feels" were originally written on an out-of-tune piano. When they went into the studio to record the album, they tuned all of their instruments to that original out of tune piano. They even brought in a piano technician to de-tune the studio piano to the exact right increments. When he was finished, he stood up and said, "There you go. That piano is perfectly out of tune."

Shortly after the release of Pure Guava, Ween opened for Fugazi while tripping on mushrooms. The crowd hated them and booed for their entire set while they laughed their asses off.

Some actually dumb trivia:
During one of Megadeth's recording sessions in Los Angeles in the late 1980s, Dave Mustaine sent his studio engineers out to find a very specific football for the band to throw around during downtime. After four hours of searching through sporting goods stores, the group returned to the studio with the requested football, which Mustaine promptly tossed into the trash. (This story was relayed to me by one of the engineers who was working with the band at the time, a good friend of mine.)
Stevie Ray Vaughn once went two weeks without picking up a guitar while visiting relatives in between recording sessions. When he returned to the studio he found his thick .11 gauge strings too difficult to play since his callouses had deteriorated significantly, so he used scissors (some accounts say a switchblade) to cut the callouses off his feet and glued the skin to his finger tips to record his parts. (Heard this one from Greg Koch at a clinic.)

Supposedly Tim Commerford never actually played bass on any of Rage Against the Machine's studio albums. There is no proof that he played on any of them and it's been backed by Morello once in an interview somewhere.

One Direction comes from an ancient Anglo Saxon term for unrepentant sinners. "Fer thy sinners petchulence, thar be only One Direction; doon to Hades"
The Beatles' name isn't actually referring to the instect Beatle, but rather it's a pun on words about the musical term (beat) and Les Paul
Kurt Cobain used a sewing needle and sharpie ink to tattoo a K Records logo on his arm, because he wanted something to "try and remind him to always stay a child", and he couldn't think of anything more childish than tattooing a company logo on himself.
This HellaEdgy™ social statement has inspired countless teenage Durt Blowbrain lovers to tattoo themselves with the same logo, including, (unfortunately), yours truly.
Left image is Kurt. Image on the right is my wonderful teenage mistake that I somehow don't regret 6 years later...
Nils Lofgren joined Neil Young's band when he was 18, and on his first album with the band, After the Gold Rush, Young barely let him play guitar at all and relegated him to the piano for most of the album.

I guess if you kill yourself early it kind of mitigate most of the issues with tattoos, doesn't it? Of course, it also defeats the purpose of needing a thing to remind you to stay young if you're never not young so maybe he wasn't that bright. Interesting thought though.

Sufjan Stevens played the piano on the album Boxer by The National

The piano tune from The Clash song "Rock the Cashbah" was made by their drummer. He was just messing around in the studio with the piano during the break and he didnt even know he was being recorded.
Then the whole music video was made with very low budget, but some coincidences made it one of the groups most recognizable music videos. (finding armadilo and fighter jets overflying)
Idk, but this makes this "random" song really cool for me
