    Keith Moon.

    "Along with his drum sets, Moon's infamous (and favourite) calling card was to flush powerful explosives down toilets.[7][14] It has been estimated that his destruction of toilets and plumbing ran as high as UK£300,000 (US$500,000).[15][16] His levels of destruction forced The Who to stay outside of New York City when the band performed there, and his repeated practice of blowing up toilets with explosives led to Moon being banned for life from lodging at several hotel chains around the world, including all Holiday Inn, all Sheraton, and all Hilton Hotels,[17] as well as the Waldorf Astoria.[18] Moon became so notorious for this practice that when Nick Harper was asked about his childhood memories spent around The Who, his first recollection was, "I remember Keith blowing up the toilets."
