dalsh327 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Axl was apparently the last one to agree to firing Steven yetAxl fired Steven, live at Farm Aid. What the heck are you talking about?This is all Slash's fault.I think Axl was disappointed with Slash because he didn't stick up for Steven in any way. I think he expected Slash to speak up for Steven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 As unfashionable as it is, I have always supported Adler on this. All evidence points to Stradlin getting Adler hooked on smack. Stradlin also got Slash hooked on smack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stradlin also got Slash hooked on smack."You know...I've been the dealer...hangin' on your street" (14 years)Izzy was the first to get hooked & he sold it around town, he sold it to Aerosmith. Axl/Slash & Steven were mostly potheads. The more time they spent with Izzy the easier it was for all of them to get hooked, you could say that Izzy was the one who had the "stuff" & introduced all the guys to it & showed them how to prepair it.From what I understand none of them had any prior experience with smack before they met Izzy.

alfierose Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 In Anthony Kiedis's book he mentions buying drugs through the window of a famous LA band member and how this person refused to sell to him in the end because he got so bad. I've often wondered if this was Izzy, not checked the timeframe though to see if it fits and to be fair there iare probably a few contenders around that period.

Heroin wasn't a popular drug in the mid 80s, crack was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
