guys's music that's crazy yeah i was the drum dude i was a snare for my brother
and it was awesome
though but it was loving you know like you know all right but it was just yeah
it was just so
crazy like we used to get all the rocker magazines and like um they'd always
have like you know like
the pictures in there look so cool and the stories would be so kind of vague
but somebody would be kind
of bleeding or something you know remember those magazines dude yeah yeah like
yeah they're gone

european version yeah yeah dude somebody got karang in our neighborhood somehow
and we would
karang and then what are some other ones that we got that was so great though
circus yeah circus dude

because i can only
imagine for you guys i mean it seemed like it was kind of um once you like
launched it was just like
a brush fire huh um with with your band yeah yeah yeah like manson
but kind of non-stop yeah since you know i mean you're it's all you're always
always doing something if you're not touring you're in the studio making the
music if you're not making
the music you're uh taking a break uh to start a new record or that like you
know you're always doing
shit how bad was it like when addiction hit you guys's band and stuff was that
pretty crazy
yeah dude when it when uh when you hear stories about it you know you see like
you know in the
documentaries and stuff you see you know and you read about different stories
of people going through it
and i know you've gone through it yeah but like how was that one of the things
that had the biggest
effect on a band yeah like when when when you're you're you're looking around
and you're seeing
the guys in your band everybody's this close from not not waking up again you
know um you know that kind
of shit um and you know and you've you've reached a level of like um doing
crazy shit like when you're
shooting fucking jack daniels in your arm because you ran out of heroin when
you could just drink the
fucking jack and be like oh and just fucking drink we're out of heroin but i
mean if we shoot it it'll be
fucking better it's just alcohol like when you're doing dumb shit like that we're
like i think it's
someone's gonna die here soon like we should all and we did it as a band we
were like you know we'd
take handfuls of fucking halcyons they were called and and then we'd and go
that and go out for the night
but those are all these are all like downers and sleeping pills so like who
does that you're you're
we're doing such dumb dangerous that everybody was like all right that's it we're
all
going to do this together and we just it was like 89 we all went to rehab
together
different rehabs but um but yeah where'd you go which one uh i went to this
place called cottonwood
oh in tucson yeah dude yeah dude tucson is like a dude yeah shout out tucson
dude i still live in
yeah tucson tucson out in the middle of nowhere dude crazy that's where i did
my first coke with
those guys with the oranges dude yes yeah oh yeah tucson is the first place i
saw a school bus somebody
had cut the top off of it and was fucking driving it dude that's tucson was
that scary the first time you
went or what was that like yeah like i gotta be here yeah no i know i wanted
you know i'm sure it's
very different to someone who doesn't want to be there we were all everybody
wanted to you're like
the only way we can do it is to actually go somewhere yeah yeah to actually go
somewhere and if we all do
it together our chances of survival are going to be a lot better yeah you know
like you know sometimes you
just need a bro you know to be doing it with you oh yeah you know what i mean
so all of us did it
together and we were like oh we can pull this we can do anything yeah you know
it's cool and was it
fancy was it a fancier one kind of no no it's just a regular kind of rehab it's
one kind of cool thing
about rehab you can go to them and it's just kind of like a mix of all types of
people wild right oh
they're totally wild i went to just uh you're hearing other people's stories
going like
you know maybe i'm not that bad yeah you're talking yourself into like bailing
rehab
fuck these people are up let me out of here you're like i could be mayor in a
month
fuck we haven't even got the family day yet this is nuts was there ever a show
where you guys just
couldn't even go on because you were too up or no no never that's unbelievable
yeah that is pretty wild
because we'd get pretty up yeah before the show but not not up enough to where
you couldn't you know
to where you couldn't bring it you know because if you i don't know well y'all's
songs that's one
thing i was thinking about was you guys's music was high energy so it was like
some some some groups
they can there's different you know but you guys were i mean every one it
almost starts out with the
riff even some of the ballads so you're like yeah god you had to be able to
show up for it yeah you
can't and yeah especially like drumming dude that's just so fucking physical if
you are feeling
the or if you're fucked up and drums or just just doesn't work really it just
doesn't work you got
you're the fucking you're the heartbeat of the machine yeah and if you are
fucked up this whole
program's fucked up yeah you know that's so you you have to keep it together
enough i mean there's times
where you have you know had a little too much and and you're thinking oh man i'm
fucking smoking right
now i'm crushing the shit and you fucking watch a videotape back and you're
like what what the
was that dude okay now you know you can't do that yeah because that's fucked up
but you're thinking
you're just murdering yeah that's happened a few times and then you go okay
that doesn't work yeah
that doesn't work yeah um when y'all started traveling and getting drugs stuff
was it hard to
have sex on drugs though like i don't see how you could do drugs and screw you
know yeah i was
like with like what you said earlier i'd end up just going back to my room my
hotel room mostly by
myself really as soon as you start fucking doing cocaine i'm like i don't i'd
rather just party with
me yeah you know i don't have to listen to any i don't have to lie i just i
just just me and you are
gonna get we're gonna go really fast in this room and and hang out yeah you do
that a lot the second
yeah i would just i'd rather just be by myself yeah um and get what that is
yeah i don't know
i would get real self-conscious if i was doing coke around other people too i
think it wasn't fun
that much for me oh i would because and i i knew i just wanted to do more coke
i didn't really want to
hear about whatever was happening with your life that much yeah and uh wait i
call we call it um
uh lying powder yeah because let's get together and sit around and lie at each
other to each other for
a couple hours why not you know like you know you're sitting there and you're
making and you're doing
blow with a bunch of people and all of a sudden you're making all these plans
yeah tomorrow man we're
gonna we're gonna go on the lake we're gonna
wait forward and whatever and it never happens never you just you know yeah so
i don't want to get together and just lie to each other i'd rather just go back
to my room
and oh and those chicks you know another time yeah in the future yeah yeah yeah
