On the opening night of Aerosmith's first Japanese tour, frontman Steven Tyler and his bandmates LOST THEIR MARBLES and completely demolished the area backstage. Why?

The problem, apparently, rested with the Japanese promoter and his management of the buffet table. Explained Tyler: "I explicitly said, 'No turkey roll'!"
