Remembering the Time Mötley Crüe Made Steve-O Smash the Windows of a Moving Car

Dave England from Jackass remembers the time that Steve-O got so excited while listening to Mötley Crüe while driving that he started kicking out the windows.

The fifth episode of our VICELAND show Party Legends—where celebrities tell us their most unforgettable party stories and we animate them—aired on VICELAND Thursday night.

This week we heard some wild stories from Dennis Rodman, Jackass's Dave England, Har Mar Superstar, JD Samson, and more.

We've recapped our favorite parts of Dave England's story—which involves a rowdy drive on LA highways and a bloody banana peel—for your viewing pleasure in GIFs below.

"We had worked really hard and partied really hard making the first Jackass movie.

Paramount was so impressed with the footage that we turned in, they found it in their hearts to give us another $1 million to film a Hollywood ending. They sent a 15-passenger van to pick up me, Bam, Ryan, Steve-O, and Johnny Knoxville.

The driver was a 22-year-old kid just fresh into the LA scene. Super nice person. like one of the guys that, you know, just you're like, 'Oh, you know, this kid's cool, man. I hope it works out for him.'"

"It was about an hour's drive from LA to the shooting location, so I secured shotgun position and got my iPod into the stereo.

And then, uh, we picked up Steve-O. He comes flying out of his house. Just coked up. He gets in that van. And the first thing I thought of was, I have my iPod. That's a lot of power right now. If I put on the right song, I could get things going in this van.

I scroll through, scroll through. Find 'Live Wire' by Mötley Crüe. Push play."

"Steve-O turned into a pinball bouncing around. Back of the van, front of the van, all over, ripping things as he goes. Like, clawing at seat cushions.

At first, everyone's like, 'Hey, dude. Slow down.'

And then it kind of became fun. And then all of a sudden, I see Bam starting to rip at stuff. And then Ryan's ripping at stuff. Everyone's going crazy."

"The driver's like, 'Hey, you guys. You guys, stop. Stop. I got to pull over if you keep doing this. Stop. Stop.'

At that point, I think almost everyone was peeing when he was saying that. Like, just pissing all in the van and donkey-kicking the windows out.

I can't even imagine what that would look like if you were driving alongside of it. Boom, a window just breaks out of this big-ass van on the freeway."

"The driver swerved about four lanes. He's like, 'Ah! I'm serious, you guys.'

And, then, somehow, we're there. The van is just a steaming mess, and Steve-O has this really deep cut.

He starts yelling, 'Ed the medic, Ed the medic!'

When you make a movie, you to have a guy there—they call it the on-set medic. And ours was Ed the medic. Ed was just itching to give you pills. He wanted to give you pills. He wanted to give everyone pills."

"Ed comes strolling over, eating a banana. He says, 'Let me see that elbow.'

Steve-O is gushing blood. Ed takes the banana peel, applies it to the cut, and just rubs it to get the majority of blood off. The peel had half an ounce of just the most horrific, disease-ridden blood.

It was a different color red than normal blood. It was Steve-O blood."

"When he was done, Ed the medic just chucks the bloody banana peel away. Unfortunately, the flying peel hit that driver kid square in the face.

The kid quit right then."
