Please post videos of musicians doing, or playing, truly crazy things.
Here's a trumpet high note video to start it off:
Here's a trombone player hitting sick high notes:
Guitar shredding with very weird treble tone, ultra-high speed:
Playing guitar with his feet. (Almost twice as many dislikes as likes. Ya think he's faking it?)

No faking on the guitar feet. The harmonics prove it if the vibrating strings on the other instrument don't. Beautiful soft touch in the most difficult way I can imagine.
EDIT: I just read the comments on YT and while I stand by my opinion on his skill, my opinion on YT commenters went down a notch or ten. I left my own. Amazing doesn't equal impossible.

Different feet, nice vocals and no controversy. YT comments are positive.

Gotta respect a guy who invents not only his music, but his instrument as well:

In the Solomon Islands they use old thongs(sandals) to play bamboo pipes. Perhaps not crazy but a daily necessity. And they sing beautifully too (not in this vid).

This thread needs 40 more Madcat videos.
And maybe some of that "harmonica with whips" guy, too.

The instrument, not the playing so much. Would love to have a go at it:

Youthful exuberance and the blessing of new media. It's no less sincere but easier to share these days. And I think a thick skin is easier to develop now.

Here is a documentary my longtime bassist and I did on Spontobeat in the 80's. We did it on a playschool camera that somehow recorded video on a cassette tape. We went in the studio and recorded. Then We matched the 2 up with no real concern for it syncing together. We did it all for under a couple hundred dollars. I am more proud of this than most anything I have done. The funny thing was at that time the David Letterman show contacted me for an appearance on the show. I was just featured on the network news and they saw the story. They asked for me to send that segment if we had it so David could view it for approval. I was so excited to send off the playschool video and didn't send the network one. I got a nice letter back saying that at this time things are not suited to have me on the show. I still have the letter and when I see it I am still glad I sent them the playschool camera video.

@Frank et al - That flute video is very special in so many ways. I've attracted bugs just by hanging out but I've never experienced such a beautiful relationship with one while performing. I'd scoot it as she did during the show but I'd definitely share my room key.

@Walter - You have a special talent and an impetus that I appreciate and relate to. I also have a bad memory for words unless they are totally rote. Good on you for making them up on the fly. It surely beats my mumbling and you sound great.

JustFuya: Thanks! It was an unexplainably hard struggle surviving for 20 years doing Spontobeat full time around the world (approx 200+ gigs a year). No record label, booking agent, would touch me unless I gave it up. Imagine the responses I got when I went to labels and said I wanted to record an album a week and never would repeat a song? Now I got it all covered as a 1 man band with my own recording studio. No more travel, bad food, poor, band BS, and such. Now I just turn on the tubes and record. Spontobeat is me and is too addicting to do anything but and there is never a wrong note either! Walter

I find all the videos not really "crazy", but somewhat unusual. In that sense my kids like to see Juzzie Smith juggling while playing harmonica:
and they love the story that Juzzie learned juggling while wainting for the school bus with his kids. ;-)
A favourite of mine, you might know already, is Bobby McFerrin dancing the pentatonic scale:
Also not really crazy, but "unusual" while the oppositie of mainstream are some of my favourite musicians who really can touch my soul with music some might classify as experimental maybe.
Guitar player Claus Boesser-Ferrari has a nice live cut with singer Jutta Glaser:
I own the CD "Ajoi" which I highly recommend:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0013N8VBS?v=0.42
Even so touching is singer Sidsel Endresen -- also not really mainstream and in that sense somewhat unusal, you might call it crazy :-)

That's funny. I didn't know that Bonny B. played. I play too.

I should make a video like that. That's a cool idea.

A little bit of a tangent, but this site is close to the mark- weird instruments (and a few clips here and there of people playing them)-

Now Adam, that would be a fun head-to-head comp. kudzurunner vs Bonny B trading licks and volleying a ping pong ball. You have to play a lick after each hit. A variant on chess-boxing.
Or you could lie on your back, playing a tune while the ping pong ball dances in response. 1st position might work best....

A number of musicians in Champaign-Urbana Illinois have experimented with a new instrument" the Udderbot.
The co-inventor of this instrument resides in town. It is really odd to encounter an udderbot performance at a Hootenanny jam. Here is a video by the co-inventor, Jacob Barton:
