I'm not a big fan of Mike Oldfield's "Amarok" album either.

Both things are true: Heaven's Open was his last Virgin album and, incidentally, it's the most god-awful piece of music he's ever done. But what I said is true as well! :)

Mike Oldfield's last album for Virgin Records was "Heaven's Open" (1991). I wish heaven had opened up and swallowed that album whole because it's Mike Oldfield's worst album in my opinion.

Mike Oldfield trolling Virgin Records comes to mind immediately. First, they beg him to finally record a sequel to Tubular Bells. What they get is Amarok Second, a while later he breaks up with Virgin, goes to Warner. First album released - Tubular Bells II. xD

I think some of the greatest artists remind us all that life is a play/game, and you can't take it too seriously.
Some of the most creative stuff comes from blasting through all preconceived boundaries.

I always think of the project "Stanley Snail," which trolled Yes, Bill Bruford's band etc.
Stanley Snail was a one-off project for a Yes Tribute album comprised of Kevin Gilbert (Keys, Low Vocals), Mike Keneally (Guitars, Mid Vocals), Nick D'Virgilio(Drums, High Vocals) and Bryan Beller (bass). Produced and Engineered by Kevin Gilbert. The middle section of the original Yes song "Siberian Khatru" is replaced with a section of Sahara Of Snow from Bill Bruford's solo album One of a Kind. |

Fans of any band getting outraged by the lenght of a band member’s hair is insane
‘You know what? I could just never get into the new Tool album’ ‘Why is that if you won’t mind me asking?’ ‘Well James started wearing Nikes and it just killed the flow of the thing’ |

The greatest troll, eh?
Frank Zappa had to be one of the greatest trollers in history. Starting from the first Mothers album, almost everything with lyrics he's written has been one long trollfest.

From what I read online right before Tool's newest album was released (Fear Inoculum):
Someone from a major American department store claimed he'd gotten a hold of the album a few days before the release. If you know Tool fans, you know everyone was dying to hear it and people were going insane about a potential leak. Someone contacted the guy because, it turned out, the guy didn't have a way to put the album online himself, but he was taking photos of his hands holding the album, so fans knew it was the real thing. Tool fans were going insane over the whole thing. The person posting the pictures and saying he had the album stopped responding to messages about meeting up to hand over the album so it could be leaked. Apparently, it was Maynard James Keenan holding the album the whole while. He obviously never intended to leak the album and was just messing with his fans and getting them all riled up. This guy is known for pranking his fans, so it wasn't the first he'd done it and it hopefully won't be his last.

oh my god this thread lol
I guess I should restate my example to get back on track so everyone knows Claudio Sanchez from Coheed & Cambria has this big signature hairdo. Sometime in November 2018 he posted a photo on Instagram saying he cut it off and people were outraged. Claudio even kept it going in one of their concerts but at one point he was doing a solo and the hat flew off and the hair was revealed. The crowd went NUTS. Best prank imo.
