April Fool's Day can bring out the best and worst in people. There are the harmless pranksters who put a whoopee cushion on your office chair, and there those evil jokers who'll tell you your favorite celebrity is dead.

Rock 'n' roll, it seems, brings out plenty of the latter type of pranks, whether it's an intentional hoax or an urban legend that won't go away. Well, we here at Spinner love a good joke, but we also don't want to perpetuate any myths, so we compiled a list of the best and/or most enduring myths, rumors and bamboozlements in rock history. Check out the gallery below, featuring Paul McCartney, Elvis, Marilyn Manson, Skrillex, the White Stripes and more -- you might just learn a thing or two.

Marilyn Manson already admitted that he spread alot of those moronic rumors himself, like this one and having his rib removed. Just to see how many idiots would actually spread them more and fall for the hype. The guys a genius.......lol

Spinner happens to be one of the most graphically challenged, hard to read, user unfrineldy sites on the internet. No one has time to pages and pages of CRAP to get to an article that's supposed to be about the AOL headline.
