@@DomeMoon No, Slash did. 8 minutes, he was dead for. Sixx was dead for less than that. Not sure exactly how much, but it's on a loudwire list somewhere that compares Sixx and Slash.
You can definitely see the results he will probably be dead a week before anyone realizes it. It's just sad the untold young people who died early deaths over that fkng drug influence.
yep his blood test defied the fact that he was still alive. Apparently the amount of speed and amphetamines and alcohol in his blood was ridiculous yet when asked how he felt he said fine....can we wrap this up because ive to get packed for the tour😂 legend
Richards didnt snort his dad to get high. He was mourning him and thought it would be a bonding moment. "They would become one" he said. I think he meant it more lovely then the way the media has done.

I really wonder how much of that is an act? I DO know that it's annoying as s--t to try and listen to the guy. Now, if he has other med issues that legitimately keep him from acting somewhat normal and with a full brain content....that's one thing. But this blurry-minded, bumbling old burnout of a rock-star act of his has been exceedingly annoying to me for years. I mean, God Bless him.....I wish no ill will...but to get that decimated by your continual idiotic drug/alky use is not something cool to still gaze at.
There was an interview with a friend of Keith Moon on TH-cam at one time. Don't know if it's still on here. He said early in the Who's career they were playing a gig and Keith asked him for some speed so he gave him a handful of them. He thought Keith would take one and save the rest for later but instead Moon took the whole handful at once. They guy said he stood nervously watching the show seriously thinking Moon would keel over of a heart attack from taking so much speed but he just sweated like crazy and played like a maniac. Crazy shit
Well, he died when I was a kid. Now Keith Richards, you can't kill him with a stick. The old geeze climbed a coconut tree to impress his grandkids, I think, and fell on his coconut and had minor brain surgery and he's great now.

Just imagine, a lot of these Legends were in their early 20s when they became Rock Gods. How could you possibly think a 21-25 year old could be equipped to handle THAT kind of fame, adulation, temptation?!? It's pure insanity sometime on the road, and these guys were the Architects of what a Rock God would be, should be. I could not comprehend just one day being regular old me, a few years from being unable to drink alcohol legally, to a few short years later, being the Legendary Front Man, Bassist, Lead Guitar, or Drummer, for the Biggest Rock Bands of All Time! Who could ever be "prepared" for that level of Fame?!?
Dec 8 1984 my 22nd B-DAY . Such tragedy almost ruined Rock Forever ! Still remember that day like yesterday. Thanks for SOBRIETY We all have found ways to survive this earth. I will have 24 years SOBER in May 2021. I stopped after a 2 day bender including spending time behind bars . And to say the least I was out in a cell with a Heroin addict coming down. So I can really relate with what Sixx dealt with. DAMN . WE ALL CAN SURVIVE CLEAN. Thank you >> Nikki Sixx & MOTLEY CRUE for keeping me inspired to live clean and sober.
Nikki six is in with Brantley Gilbert and several others in a new song about going sober that came out last year called “maybe it’s time.” You should check it out
Later in life there were new stories about him having blood transfusions, so that’s one of the ways he stayed alive. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for these guys because when you’re trashing hotel rooms the only person you’re affecting is some poor woman who has to clean up your mess for $7 an hour.
Dude you could literally bring up any rocker of the 60's and have it make sense. That entire era of music was fueled directly or indirectly from drugs.
They were hippies, they did lots of drugs but they were all about the weed or acid trip, in a room being all peaceful, they didn’t really party like Mötley Crüe (I mean blasting music, pouring alcohol into someone’s mouth from 2 bottles at the same time, thrashing a place, bunch of hot girls, partying until the body can’t handle it)
I was in 10th or 11th grade when Billy came to Bangkok on that trip. There was no age limit back then for drinking so we were all out on a friday when he and his entourage and some paid talent came down Patpong rd past our bar, Goldfinger. All the HS kids rushed out to...stare? I dunno what our plan was. We did get a two finger salute. Then he turned around, dropped trou and gave us all a Full Moon Festival none of us have ever forgotten. 'bless'em.
zakk wild apparently had a lethal blood clot, but the insane amount of alcohol in his system acted as blood thinners saving his life. much to the surprise of his doctors
Anybody who doesn't put Pantera at the top of the list didn't do their homework. Even all of Motley Crew has been quoted saying "nobody could party and keep up with us, well, except Pantera. Those guys are insane"
Motley Crue had to be the hardest partying band ever.......... until Vince Neil ate Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars. When asked why he didn't eat Tommy Lee too, he said "A man has to have some standards".
Corky DeLarge no way did they party harder than Jim Morrison he took every drug people gave him at once a lot Motley Crue drank more than anything else really
Daffy maddz I agree 100% with you on that bro Aerosmith were hardcore when it came to party drug abuse alcohol abuse not to mention the sex addiction Steven Tyler had as well
The crue is over .... They suck and where never that good ...just because they put out a shit b list movie they think there the hardest rockers on earth shit ... The dirt the turd a lot bull shit .. Guns n roses fucking buried there ass music wise and partying hands down
@@emp4845 guns n roses were not nearly as much of a party band as the crue .. an tbh I rather listen to motley than guns ... Don't get me wrong both of the singers are assholes but I hate the way axl acted
@@charlestaffe5819 Yeah but moon, bonham and morrisons favourite kick was alcohol and alcohol is the worst drug to constantly abuse, damages organs,fcks with the central nervous system, they did it all day everyday all night every night. alcohol is the only drug that has a withdrawal that can kill you its far harder to come off than heroin, that's why keith moon died after taking 36 alcohol withdrawal pills(clomethiazole). Bonham got alcohol poisoning, and morrison fled to paris to cut down on his drinking and ended up ODing on his girlfriends heroin that he supposedly thought was cocaine. Ozzy should be dead but his dna makes him able to withstand the abuse, he survived but now look at him today shaking, stuttering, tremoring. his neurological pathways are permanantley destroyed.
The guys from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Those guys knew how to party. Shooting guns off in hotels, letting tour bus’s run through banks, busting windows out of planes on commercial flights, the constant fighting amongst each other, throwing tv’s through hotel windows, fighting and cussing out interviewers, and when they toured Europe their bass player would poop in peoples shoes...
There's a big difference between partying & just doing stupid, insane things. Destroying motel rooms, snorting ants, licking up piss, etc is just plain stupid.
Same thing with hitting up a strip club every weekend or drinking till you're puking. People love it in theory, but actually doing it you notice how pathetic it is
@@britgilbert8736 dime smoked pot just heard him say something about burning some rope in a randall amp workshop vid also thats why he was called dimebag lol oh and he mentioned candy sweats in that vid a.k.a. coke sweats jus sayin
No that’s not how he went from diamond Darrell to dimebag after the release of cfh someone said you gotta be rich now Darrell replied I don’t even have enough for a dimebag from then on he was dimebag
@@britgilbert8736 yeah dime was a damn hard drinker for sure the whole band was i heard their handlers say thier alcohol bill was astonishing dime came up with a good cocktail ol' blacktooth grin getcha pull r.i.p. dime he seemed like the nicest dude you wouldn't think such a nice happy dude could write such hardcore riffs
I remember when Vince Neil had the car crash. I was living in Los Angeles at the time and I believe he actually went up the wrong way on a freeway ramp and went headfirst into two People who are driving a small VW bug. He ended up paying a large settlement to the people in the VW because they were basically injured for life. People at the time who ran to heavy-metal were pissed off because he never went to jail where as the average citizen driving drunk and injuring people for life would’ve been put in jail without a doubt.
That's the American justice system in action. In many cases completely arbitrary and unfair. You realize how stupid people are, in general, when the verdicts and sentences are imposed.
another fact about john bonham which when i heard it, i just was jaw dropped. the reason he would wear a headband on stage was because he would stick acid tabs underneath so that when he would sweat, they would melt into his skin and i guess it got into his system quicker. i also found out too that he would stick anywhere between 10-20 tabs, so that throughout the show he was constantly getting high. i just find that so interesting
Good thing I'm into gardening and sipping tea and the odd toke.. Don't let these stories be something to emulate, most people won't care too much for your extreme partying.. Just relax, be yourself and enjoy the moment.
Billy idol partied so hard they had to use a tranquilizer dart to get him to stop 😂. That’s pretty badass. But I’m pretty sure Pantera should be on this list 🤘🏻
The hardest partying tour was Depeche Mode’s Faith, Love and Devotion. At the end of the tour one band member had left before the end so he could recover Alan Wilder left the group Martin Gore became an alcoholic and Dave Gahan was addicted to heroin. The tour was epic. A great band that is still playing great music.
Jerry Garcia aka Captain Trips first the Acid tests then he was into speed balls and was addicted to heroin after 1975 till he died in 1995. I still miss Jerry!!! 🕶️🎶🎸💉🖤🖤🖤
Yeah, no shit! I don't care what this video is trying to imply, it's Jerry Garcia hands down as the hardest partier, previously the highest man alive! The thing people fail to realize about a great number of famous touring musicians through the years (such as Billie Holiday, and MANY others....) is how they would use uppers and downers in order to be able to show up exhausted on the road, and need to perform that night, and yet have control over getting some sleep for the next day's show over and over again for years. Jerry Garcia played over 3000 concerts with the Grateful Dead over 30 years, an average of a full scale concert 1 out of every 3 days for 30 YEARS! AND-- played several hundred concerts on the side with Jerry Garcia Band, as well as many acoustic projects, David Grisman, and many others. Yeah, there were VERY off nights because of it, including complete absence of Jerry some nights, BUT-- it never would have been the same otherwise. NOT my cup of tea what-so-ever myself, but I understand how Jerry was using his drugs in order to keep on playing, even if it did get the better of him at times, and in the long run. It was the junk food and Jerry's diabetes (and the cigarettes) that killed Jerry more so that the expensive ass top notch coke and opium.
Darby Crash from The Germs? Dude would literally take ANYTHING without even asking what it was. He'd do it ALL and get blithering drunk in the process!!
I remember hearing about the vince neil thing when I was a kid watching airheads. I always thought it was a quip until I asked my dad. Crazy. He only served 19 days out of 30 too!
1:34 He didn't know it was a real bat. People throw stuff on stage all the time, and he thought it was one of those rubber bats ppl hang from the ceiling during Halloween. Sharon was yelling at him shaking her head trying to tell him that it wasnt a prop. He had to get a shot with a ridiculous size needle from what I remember.
I notice many people on here saying "it should have been so and so who died of overdose." The point is, everyone on this list should have (or in Nikki's case did) died at some point and yet they managed to survive. Luck maybe, but makes them the harder of the partiers in the end. Survival of the fittest, and the people on this list were more fit to party
Which rocker would you want to party with most?
Grunge
Billy Idol.

Lemmy and Till Lindemann.

It's pure insanity sometime on the road, and these guys were the Architects of what a Rock God would be, should be.
I could not comprehend just one day being regular old me, a few years from being unable to drink alcohol legally, to a few short years later, being the Legendary Front Man, Bassist, Lead Guitar, or Drummer, for the Biggest Rock Bands of All Time!
Who could ever be "prepared" for that level of Fame?!?
Dec 8 1984 my 22nd B-DAY . Such tragedy almost ruined Rock Forever ! Still remember that day like yesterday. Thanks for SOBRIETY We all have found ways to survive this earth. I will have 24 years SOBER in May 2021. I stopped after a 2 day bender including spending time behind bars . And to say the least I was out in a cell with a Heroin addict coming down. So I can really relate with what Sixx dealt with. DAMN . WE ALL CAN SURVIVE CLEAN. Thank you >> Nikki Sixx & MOTLEY CRUE for keeping me inspired to live clean and sober.
Nikki six is in with Brantley Gilbert and several others in a new song about going sober that came out last year called “maybe it’s time.” You should check it out
I wonder if there will ever come a day when science will be able to adequately explain Keith Richards?
Later in life there were new stories about him having blood transfusions, so that’s one of the ways he stayed alive. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for these guys because when you’re trashing hotel rooms the only person you’re affecting is some poor woman who has to clean up your mess for $7 an hour.
Keef stated that his dad could out drink him. And, his dad lived to be 90.
He has better genes then the Royal family
Well, royal families have a habit of keeping it in the family, so…
Ummm . . . Jim Morrison? Jimi Hendrix? Janis Joplin? All of The Beatles?
Dude you could literally bring up any rocker of the 60's and have it make sense. That entire era of music was fueled directly or indirectly from drugs.
Everyone you mentioned died at 27
@@IzzyDaKid well that's just not true
They were hippies, they did lots of drugs but they were all about the weed or acid trip, in a room being all peaceful, they didn’t really party like Mötley Crüe (I mean blasting music, pouring alcohol into someone’s mouth from 2 bottles at the same time, thrashing a place, bunch of hot girls, partying until the body can’t handle it)
Since when Jimi Hendrix partied hard and destroying his own life? Lol
I was in 10th or 11th grade when Billy came to Bangkok on that trip. There was no age limit back then for drinking so we were all out on a friday when he and his entourage and some paid talent came down Patpong rd past our bar, Goldfinger. All the HS kids rushed out to...stare? I dunno what our plan was. We did get a two finger salute. Then he turned around, dropped trou and gave us all a Full Moon Festival none of us have ever forgotten. 'bless'em.
GG Allin “hold my beer, coke, smack, acid, speed and this persons nose I carry around”
His shit too
zakk wild apparently had a lethal blood clot, but the insane amount of alcohol in his system acted as blood thinners saving his life. much to the surprise of his doctors
Anybody who doesn't put Pantera at the top of the list didn't do their homework. Even all of Motley Crew has been quoted saying "nobody could party and keep up with us, well, except Pantera. Those guys are insane"
Motley Crue had to be the hardest partying band ever.......... until Vince Neil ate Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars.
When asked why he didn't eat Tommy Lee too, he said "A man has to have some standards".
Corky DeLarge no way did they party harder than Jim Morrison he took every drug people gave him at once a lot Motley Crue drank more than anything else really
Daffy maddz I agree 100% with you on that bro Aerosmith were hardcore when it came to party drug abuse alcohol abuse not to mention the sex addiction Steven Tyler had as well
The crue is over .... They suck and where never that good ...just because they put out a shit b list movie they think there the hardest rockers on earth shit ... The dirt the turd a lot bull shit ..
Guns n roses fucking buried there ass music wise and partying hands down
palermo italy dawg its not that serious ur way too deep 🤣 their music slapped and they did crazy shit. end of story
@@emp4845 guns n roses were not nearly as much of a party band as the crue .. an tbh I rather listen to motley than guns ... Don't get me wrong both of the singers are assholes but I hate the way axl acted
Sadly, the hardest partiers were the ones who died: Keith Moon & John Bonham.
Also best drummers.
Jim Morrison
@@charlestaffe5819 Yeah but moon, bonham and morrisons favourite kick was alcohol and alcohol is the worst drug to constantly abuse, damages organs,fcks with the central nervous system, they did it all day everyday all night every night. alcohol is the only drug that has a withdrawal that can kill you its far harder to come off than heroin, that's why keith moon died after taking 36 alcohol withdrawal pills(clomethiazole). Bonham got alcohol poisoning, and morrison fled to paris to cut down on his drinking and ended up ODing on his girlfriends heroin that he supposedly thought was cocaine. Ozzy should be dead but his dna makes him able to withstand the abuse, he survived but now look at him today shaking, stuttering, tremoring. his neurological pathways are permanantley destroyed.
@@charlestaffe5819 severe depression is not partying
@@znnigigmvjvuvk6346 I think Duff McKagan would agree with you.
The guys from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Those guys knew how to party. Shooting guns off in hotels, letting tour bus’s run through banks, busting windows out of planes on commercial flights, the constant fighting amongst each other, throwing tv’s through hotel windows, fighting and cussing out interviewers, and when they toured Europe their bass player would poop in peoples shoes...
You can definitely hear it when Gary Rossington talks in the great Showtime documentary "If I Leave Here Tomorrow."
Blessings to the fallen and cheers to those that survived to tell the tale.
Duff doing the best out of all these dudes. Looks healthy & has a nice family. Right on!
Fr!!!
I don't have a drug problem, I can afford them
~ Keith Richards
There's a big difference between partying & just doing stupid, insane things. Destroying motel rooms, snorting ants, licking up piss, etc is just plain stupid.
But it’s awesome
@@moondogg561 What's awesome about licking up piss?
@@gangstalkingchronicles6949 it’s good for you
@@moondogg561 Oh I hadn't realized. Well in that case I might just start drinking all of my piss
Same thing with hitting up a strip club every weekend or drinking till you're puking. People love it in theory, but actually doing it you notice how pathetic it is
Ozzy isn’t scared of drugs, drugs are scared of him
How so?
These parties are what today's artists of ANY genre can only dream of recreating
Billy Idol is the definition of badass. You look it up, you will his picture.
Shoulda had dimebag in the honorable mentions or sum
DowntownA81 dime just drank really not known for drug abuse he was a good man liked his liquor but he didn’t even smoke weed really
@@britgilbert8736 dime smoked pot just heard him say something about burning some rope in a randall amp workshop vid also thats why he was called dimebag lol oh and he mentioned candy sweats in that vid a.k.a. coke sweats jus sayin
No that’s not how he went from diamond Darrell to dimebag after the release of cfh someone said you gotta be rich now Darrell replied I don’t even have enough for a dimebag from then on he was dimebag
Pale rider I said he wasn’t known for drug abuse he didn’t smoke a lot he drank more than anything lots of his friends have stated that as well
@@britgilbert8736 yeah dime was a damn hard drinker for sure the whole band was i heard their handlers say thier alcohol bill was astonishing dime came up with a good cocktail ol' blacktooth grin getcha pull r.i.p. dime he seemed like the nicest dude you wouldn't think such a nice happy dude could write such hardcore riffs
" Nobody talks about Billy Idol like that!! "
Thanks little sister. He actually carries off cool pretty well, unlike Vince Neil. Worst band i ever heard.
PlayingGuitarRules1
NO WAY!!!
Johnny Thunders should be on this list! He walked the walk and talked the talk! Played his Gibson JR like no other! Along with Walter Lure!
Bonham- "i took 40 shots and bit the dust"
Mckagan "Those are daily numbers"
WAIT UP
The guy played a song or set on a bassdrum filled with explosives?
That's metal af
Damn! I didn’t know that about Billy Idol!
I remember when Vince Neil had the car crash. I was living in Los Angeles at the time and I believe he actually went up the wrong way on a freeway ramp and went headfirst into two People who are driving a small VW bug. He ended up paying a large settlement to the people in the VW because they were basically injured for life. People at the time who ran to heavy-metal were pissed off because he never went to jail where as the average citizen driving drunk and injuring people for life would’ve been put in jail without a doubt.
That's the American justice system in action. In many cases completely arbitrary and unfair. You realize how stupid people are, in general, when the verdicts and sentences are imposed.
Vince and Motley Crue off the chain on sunset Blvd in da 80’s!!!
Nope guns n fucking roses buried there ass real raw hard sleaz rock
i partied with them in 1981 when i lived in North Hollywood .. we used to hang at the Rainbow!
Anyone who lived in L.A. at that time, was off the chain lol, The Cat House!
LOVE IT!!
another fact about john bonham which when i heard it, i just was jaw dropped. the reason he would wear a headband on stage was because he would stick acid tabs underneath so that when he would sweat, they would melt into his skin and i guess it got into his system quicker. i also found out too that he would stick anywhere between 10-20 tabs, so that throughout the show he was constantly getting high. i just find that so interesting
He took the idea from Hendrix who was the first to do it
@@oliverhunter9495 interesting, didn’t know that! thanks for sharing :)
i dont think its true, when i was a kid everyone said that is what hendrix did.
Moonie died in 1978, and I still miss him. 💜
I wore a black arm band to school that day...
You forgot David lee Roth from Van halen.
Not for me
Good thing I'm into gardening and sipping tea and the odd toke.. Don't let these stories be something to emulate, most people won't care too much for your extreme partying.. Just relax, be yourself and enjoy the moment.
2:27 'so, you have a more stable life now?....no' and pours more orange juice on the table than on the glass 😂
Billy idol partied so hard they had to use a tranquilizer dart to get him to stop 😂. That’s pretty badass. But I’m pretty sure Pantera should be on this list 🤘🏻
The hardest partying tour was Depeche Mode’s Faith, Love and Devotion. At the end of the tour one band member had left before the end so he could recover Alan Wilder left the group Martin Gore became an alcoholic and Dave Gahan was addicted to heroin. The tour was epic. A great band that is still playing great music.
It was a depraved tour yes. The Devotional tour 1993/94. Sadly we've lost Andy Fletcher recently 💔💔
Depeche Mode isn't a rock band they're a pop band.
What about Joe Walsh? He would take chainsaws to hotel room walls to make bigger rooms
Don't worry, he has accountants pay for it all.
What a ass Walsh is doing that
I don't like him
Nerdvarro is known for being a crybaby poo poo britches
Learned from the best, Keith Moon.
Drugs are a drag, unless you want to die young like Jerry 53 and the rest of them, except Keith LOL
The good ol days of rock and roll😁😎💪💯
Everybody still talks about these people as if they were there next door neighbors.It's still with me after 63 yrs.
weren't we all like this at one time or another ? i mean without being a star, know i sure was !😉🤘
FloridaGreg yeah me too good point I guess regular people are left out lol no one cares when your not famous lol!!!!
@@britgilbert8736 right on Brit, those were the days, eh ?!😉
Yep 🙋🏻♀️
Jerry Garcia aka Captain Trips first the Acid tests then he was into speed balls and was addicted to heroin after 1975 till he died in 1995. I still miss Jerry!!! 🕶️🎶🎸💉🖤🖤🖤
Taxi I always wondered how he got addicted. I read somewhere it happened overseas during a tour
Yeah, no shit! I don't care what this video is trying to imply, it's Jerry Garcia hands down as the hardest partier, previously the highest man alive! The thing people fail to realize about a great number of famous touring musicians through the years (such as Billie Holiday, and MANY others....) is how they would use uppers and downers in order to be able to show up exhausted on the road, and need to perform that night, and yet have control over getting some sleep for the next day's show over and over again for years. Jerry Garcia played over 3000 concerts with the Grateful Dead over 30 years, an average of a full scale concert 1 out of every 3 days for 30 YEARS! AND-- played several hundred concerts on the side with Jerry Garcia Band, as well as many acoustic projects, David Grisman, and many others. Yeah, there were VERY off nights because of it, including complete absence of Jerry some nights, BUT-- it never would have been the same otherwise. NOT my cup of tea what-so-ever myself, but I understand how Jerry was using his drugs in order to keep on playing, even if it did get the better of him at times, and in the long run. It was the junk food and Jerry's diabetes (and the cigarettes) that killed Jerry more so that the expensive ass top notch coke and opium.
@@InfamousMedia no it happened in Golden Gate park, he went to try opium and it was heroin, he got addicted his first time and never got clean.
@@darrendix5163 I always have said it's the chili dogs that killed him. 🌭
The diabetes killed Jerry
Darby Crash from The Germs? Dude would literally take ANYTHING without even asking what it was. He'd do it ALL and get blithering drunk in the process!!
True true
Ozzy Osborne and Keith Richards are at a tie for number one
Missing the soul brothers. Word is the Sly Stone / Bobby Womack wing dings were off the charts and Funkadelic wasn't far off
These guys were so reckless. I've never been able to party like that, ever.
I am so pleased Keith moon was on this list
How could he be NOT?
Not the reason I partied so hard in the 90s, but damn, they really were a template for me.
And Moonie should actually have his own section.
watching videos like these makes me feel alot better about myself and my daily beer and weed habit hahaha
Decades ago. It was amazing. ❤❤❤❤
Those days are long gone.
Hunter Thompson: Aww! You kids are so adorable.
He wasn't a rock star
"You missed ___!" "What about ___?" Yall do realize this list could go on forever right? Lol
John Frusciante was a real fookin junkie, man! Thank god that he's still alive and rejoin the Red Hot again!!! 💜 🙏
I remember hearing about the vince neil thing when I was a kid watching airheads. I always thought it was a quip until I asked my dad. Crazy. He only served 19 days out of 30 too!
The guy who got in the car with him knew he was drunk. You do something like that, its really your fault.
@@richardprescott5939 both were drunk
@@ilminore Exactly what I said. Was there a point to that that I am missing?
HILARIOUS!!!
My God I never knew that about Vince Neal.
That’s bad news man I feel bad for him he has to live with that.
Poor guy!!
I love you grunge!
If what happened to Vince Neal with the auto accident death of his friend happened to me I doubt that I would ever drink again.
Without Vince's money you'd still be in jail.
1:34 He didn't know it was a real bat. People throw stuff on stage all the time, and he thought it was one of those rubber bats ppl hang from the ceiling during Halloween. Sharon was yelling at him shaking her head trying to tell him that it wasnt a prop. He had to get a shot with a ridiculous size needle from what I remember.
Damn Billy Idol was insane party Animal 🤣🎉🥳🍾🙄
As the saying goes, if you can remember the 1960’s you weren’t there!
I notice many people on here saying "it should have been so and so who died of overdose." The point is, everyone on this list should have (or in Nikki's case did) died at some point and yet they managed to survive. Luck maybe, but makes them the harder of the partiers in the end. Survival of the fittest, and the people on this list were more fit to party
It aint luck Maybe God keeps giving them just another chance*
@@kathleensmith950 yes I agree
Which band would I want to party with the most? Hands down: THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!
Anyone know where that clip at 5:47 is from?
That was the motto back then: party hearty!! 👍👍
