      I really wonder how much of that is an act? I DO know that it's annoying as s--t to try and listen to the guy. Now, if he has other med issues that legitimately keep him from acting somewhat normal and with a full brain content....that's one thing. But this blurry-minded, bumbling old burnout of a rock-star act of his has been exceedingly annoying to me for years. I mean, God Bless him.....I wish no ill will...but to get that decimated by your continual idiotic drug/alky use is not something cool to still gaze at.

He said early in the Who's career they were playing a gig and Keith asked him for some speed so he gave him a handful of them. He thought Keith would take one and save the rest for later but instead Moon took the whole handful at once. They guy said he stood nervously watching the show seriously thinking Moon would keel over of a heart attack from taking so much speed but he just sweated like crazy and played like a maniac.

Gotta love Ozzy and Sharon for still remaining married to Ozzy after all the crazy things he did!!!😂😂😂😂 the song Kickstart My Heart was actually written about Nikki Sixx being shot up with adrenaline to save him. As for Keith Richards, I truly believe he is a zombie!! After everything he has done to himself, I don’t know how he can still be alive!!

    I saw Keith in 75 . He came out about 15 minutes late. He drifted in and a stage hand hooked him up his guitar. He was totally F -ed up but played like it instinct. He messed up , broke a string . Keith was white as a gost . I heard someone say " Keith's wearing makeup" and the the word came back and we herd he was pale white" . I remember everyone waiting for him to drop. He didn't and got better and played for over two hours.,but never changed color. Keith at his worst was the best concert I've ever been to. Everyone was on the edge of their seats , like a high wire act on a rollercoaster. They covered many encores and last song was " Finger print file " and I remember it being the best tune of the night . Nobody ever thought Keith would make and you could tell the band thought the same . I probably would've partied with Kieth if given a chance but I probably wouldn't be alive. After that I never bought in to all the talk about him dying or the Stones quitting. He goes and the heart and soul of Rock n roll goes. Nobody has ever" Shocked and Showed us more than him .😎

Bonham got alcohol poisoning, and morrison fled to paris to cut down on his drinking and ended up ODing on his girlfriends heroin that he supposedly thought was cocaine. Ozzy should be dead but his dna makes him able to withstand the abuse, he survived but now look at him today shaking, stuttering, tremoring. his neurological pathways are permanantley destroyed.

      Yeah, no shit! I don't care what this video is trying to imply, it's Jerry Garcia hands down as the hardest partier, previously the highest man alive! The thing people fail to realize about a great number of famous touring musicians through the years (such as Billie Holiday, and MANY others....) is how they would use uppers and downers in order to be able to show up exhausted on the road, and need to perform that night, and yet have control over getting some sleep for the next day's show over and over again for years. Jerry Garcia played over 3000 concerts with the Grateful Dead over 30 years, an average of a full scale concert 1 out of every 3 days for 30 YEARS! AND-- played several hundred concerts on the side with Jerry Garcia Band, as well as many acoustic projects, David Grisman, and many others. Yeah, there were VERY off nights because of it, including complete absence of Jerry some nights, BUT-- it never would have been the same otherwise. NOT my cup of tea what-so-ever myself, but I understand how Jerry was using his drugs in order to keep on playing, even if it did get the better of him at times, and in the long run. It was the junk food and Jerry's diabetes (and the cigarettes) that killed Jerry more so that the expensive ass top notch coke and opium.
