MaskingApathy Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I know someone who spent a lot of time around Axl in the late 90s or early 2000s and said he was a regular cocaine user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting, because in that particular period he supposedly abstained from any substances (except alcohol) and didn't allow even smoking in the studio. In 2006 he partied a lot - at least he drank quite a bit and there's been a lot of speculation about coke (although it hasn't been stated by anyone in public). * Anything else you can share?

I was lucky enough to see STP with Scott 3 times though. Just wish I had the chance to see VR man They were kickass live, I remember as a teen I saw them in 2008, and then after Weiland left VR seeing him that same year with STP and he killed it both times. It is a shame that he couldn't pull it together, very few people just have that natural spark of commanding your full attention like he did at his peak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(So you're an insider ) It's a relative of mine who spent time around him. Basically he's a photographer and Axl used to come over and hang out regularly at the studio he was using at the time (I think someone else that my relative was working with knew Axl) but they didn't want him to stay overnight because of his drug use (would look bad if he OD'd at their place). Might've been closer to 2006 then, I don't remember exactly what he had told me. Oh also he went over to Axl's house around that time too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As memory recalls Duff had a bit of a shocked look for a second! However, I had earlier and during the gig partaken of the herb myself, so the Duff look might be more my imagination!

I never caught STP live, they were a band who at their peak I didn’t really like. There was so much good stuff then. But an ex Girlfriend got me into them a bit. I regret not seeing them at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regret not seeing them at least once. Caught VR at the Wiltern in early '08, I remember they opened with Let It Roll and it sounding like a freight train cause of the volume ha. STP were great live, honestly I regret not seeing more when I had the chance - I didn't see Scott's solo venture when he came in town because I wasn't musically into it as much as the other bands but knowing he would no longer be with us I would have seen as many as I could 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just management but even while Slash and Duff spun stories they made it clear Axl was not an addict and if memory serves me he even used to sit by Slashs bedside when he overdosed according to Slashs book. Axl himself has said he has used various drugs but refused to allow himself to get a habit or addicted or let it interfere with GnR etc. He never maintained he is innocent or never did things. Him taking a hit off a Marijuana joint is hardly anything considering it's legal in many States now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
