This is the performance that got them banned from ever appearing on SNL again, mainly due to DJ Muggs lighting up a spliff live on air and trashing the stage / breaking instruments. Kind of silly if you ask me, you know damn near the entire SNL cast were getting lit backstage – as a matter of fact, it’s public record. Bobo’s drum solos were crazy though.

DJ Big Mike Arrested For Music Piracy
Michael Willcox better known as DJ Big Mike, was arrested last week and charged with music piracy. After a two year investigation, surveillance teams finally caught he and his brother in the act of distributing illegal CDs. More arrests are going to be made in the coming weeks.
The investigation began with the Recording Industry Association of America, a trade group that sent its own team of investigators to conduct a surveillance of a suspected “burner lab” at 27 Stetson Place in Danbury where pirated CDs were alleged being made and distributed, according to the affidavit.
The trade group is comprised of record companies that create, manufacture and distribute about 85-percent of all legitimate sound recordings made and sold in the United States, according to the affidavit. Three investigators from RIAA began the surveillance in Feburary of 2009.
The investigators allegedly followed a 1995 Ford Explorer registered to Willcox from his Danbury home to a residence at 12 George St., Mount Vernon, NY, which was suspected of supplying the materials and equipment used to manufacture recordable CDs and DVDs, according to the affidavit.
