He Performed With the Mötley Crüe and Ozzy Osbourne
The bigger he became in the comedy world, the more he was welcomed into the rock music industry. He was such a rock ’n’ roll comedian that he would perform with bands like Mötley Crüe and Ozzy Osbourne and sometimes have a touring band of his own.
He appeared in the music video for Bon Jovi’s Bad Medicine in 1988. The same year Kinison recorded a novelty version of Wild Thing by the Troggs. The video became a huge MTV hit, with cameos by Billy Idol, Steven Tyler, and Slash, to name a few.
