I don't think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.
I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things?
There are lasting consequences for using drugs. I'll still be paying for my prior use.
Andrew Wood's death changed things for a few weeks. I probably got even heavier into drugs after that.
Being me is no different than being most anyone else, I guess.
It's just writing about things, feelings, not that we're dark or depressed...just as much as anyone else is.
Every article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this - that ain't my title.
I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.
We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.
Music is the career Im lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions.
I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.
We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.
We survived a Slayer crowd every night for about 50 days and thought we could do about anything after that.
