Dead Rock Stars

[Stereocrisis]

What's with all the drugs and alcohol involved with musicians? I mean really, why are almost all famous musicians heroin, cocaine addicts, or alcoholics? Is their something rotten buried at the bottom of the Rock'n Roll garden? Do musicians/artists in general just want to get fucked up into oblivion? Or is the whole world just on fucking drugs?

Because you can't make good music without drugs.

"My National Enquirer says that musicians cannot play a single note unless they eatdrugs first."

[TheBlueRaven]

because they can and because that's their culture

Ok, let's go through this process. You and your band record 3 or 4 really successful albums. You do world tours for each album. Now a few things can come into play here. One, exhaustion. Touring excessively has it's tolls on the body, and as you certain drugs act as pick-me-ups. So the rockstar(s) take said drug so that they can play a couple of gigs, and they end up becoming addicted.

Another possible scenario is inspiration. Some rockstars find after a while that it becomes to create new music/lyrics, so they start doing drugs (like LSD) to find inspiration, and they become addicted.

And even another scenario is band conflict. Some people don't get along well with others in the band after the bands been together for a few years. Tension mounts in the band, and everyone becomes stressed. Drugs/alcohol are there to numb away the pain, only to come back and kick you in the balls later.

I heard he was just really high and got crushed by an imaginary bus.

cases in point- Dimebag Darrell (murdered on stage)
Cliff Burton (bus landed on him)
Ronnie James Dio (stomach cancer, like my grandad)

actually, the band was playing a card game to see who would win a bunk and the bassist won but the driver fell asleep for a bit while he was driving, hit a ditch, and the bus fell over to its side... all but 1 of the members and the drivers lived... the bassist on the other hand; died from the bus being ontop of him

they have a lot of money, and cops care more about their autograph then arresting them
