While Moon wasn't the only rock icon to ever trash a hotel room, he might have done more damage than any of his peers thanks to his penchant for explosives. On the band's first tour, the drummer was particularly fond of cherry bombs, as Terry Fletcher wrote in his biography of the drummer, Moon: The Life and Death of a Rock Legend.
“From that moment on, no hotel room or changing was safe until the tour moved away. Keith Moon developed a taste for blowing up toilets," Fletcher wrote.

“One day I was in Keith’s room and I said, ‘could I use your bog?’ and he smiled and said ‘sure.’ I went in there and there was no toilet, just sort of an S bend, and I thought, ‘Christ, what happened?’" wrote Pete Townshend in his book, An Amazing Journey: The Life of Pete Townshend.
One of Keith Moon's most destructive pranks involved a waterbed
As Rolling Stone reported, one of Moon's most epically destructive pranks occurred in 1972 when The Who were staying at a fancy hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark. Moon was apparently "fascinated" by the waterbed in his suite and tried to get Townshend to help him drag the mattress into the elevator so he could send it to the lobby.
Apparently the drummer's story was pretty convincing, because the manager apologized and moved him to another suite...which the band reportedly demolished later that same night.
