But you mostly know him for being totally, 100% batshit insane. There's a reason he's at the top of our "Producer From Hell" list after all. Aside from threatening Leonard Cohen and The Ramones with guns and stealing the tapes of Lennon's Rock 'n Roll album at gunpoint, there's also the part where he showed his wife a coffin and threatened to kill her if she left and also the part where he got convicted for murdering actress Lana Clarkson.
