    But yes, Slash and Duff are crucified. Rose emerges rather well. 

     

    Haha Rose emerges well...

    no he doesn’t.

    He comes across as a selfish prick who’s so absorbed with himself that he can’t see what’s looking back at him in the mirror. 

    And his choice of management... well..

    I have some familiarity, if Axl had been strung out he would not have been able to perform in the way that he did. for as long as he did.

    Please. 

    Weiland, Staley, Richards, Sixx, Lee, etc all played strung out.

    Axl got clean so he didn’t die, some of those other continued heavy use.

    It doesn't seem that stuff was exactly smack though. It was raw (non synthetic) opium and it seems Axl dug that particularly.

    In sorums book, he talks about a brick of heroin... 

    Around this time, I got hold of a giant block of heroin. I discovered that I had it after one of the gigs, but I didn’t remember how I actually got my hands on it. It was a huge lump, the size of an extra-large Hershey’s bar, and it was pure opium. As I tried it on the plane one day, Axl noticed the smell. Slash loved heroin, so he was already with me. Duff was too, though he was sticking to his coco puffs—cigarettes in which the tobacco had been mixed with coke. Axl came over to join us. We had a piece of tinfoil and held a lighter beneath it, using a straw to inhale the smoke. It made us feel kind of calm and happy, and we decided to meet up the next day to do more of the same. This time we were in Axl’s hotel room, sitting in a circle on the floor and basically passing the piece of tinfoil around.
    We were really chipping away at the block, but the thing about heroin is that it’s really addictive. A few days later, Axl called me. “Do you have any more of that shit? Would you come over?” I went to his room, and we spent the whole night talking. The bar of heroin lasted a few weeks, and since Axl was digging it, I managed to become really close with him. It didn’t affect his voice or anything, and we were getting along great. Or we were until he called me up one day, and asked, “Are we out?” “Yeah, I’m out.” He hung up on me without saying good-bye or anything. And that was it, the end of our bonding session. We went from being best pals—albeit with a friendship based on drugs—to me not being his buddy anymore.:"

    I don't think there has been such belief. What has been said by everyone who has known Axl is that he was never addicted to drugs, which is different.

    Yup, always knew he did drugs, but I thought by the illusions tour it was down to weed and coke. I thought his dalliances with smack were over by 88-89. 

    Axl sympathizers have maintained for years he never did drugs. But we’re splitting hairs here.

    As far as I know, this is just fan speculation, never verified.

    Please....

    look at the guy. He looks like a strung out coke head. 

    Why has there always been this belief that Axl never did drugs? 

    If any of you have ever tried drugs or been around anyone who has used or abused them, take one look at Axl and there’s no doubt.
