Although I'm sure this question just is a joke there was an incident in 1977 when Joey injured himself backstage shortly before a show with a boiling kettle. He would breathe in the hot fumes of a boiling kettle to loosen up his airways and voice before every show and on this occasion the kettle supposedly exploded in his face showering him with boiling water. Unbelievably the show still went ahead with Joey's face and hands covered in medical cream. Johnny Ramone remembers looking up at Joey during the show and seeing a large piece of skin hanging between the microphone and Joey's face. This incident and it's aftermath inspired their classic song "I Wanna Be Sedated".
