re: Heroin fueled great music? Another earlier thread got me thinking.

AIC I know where big into heroin. Or at least Staley was. I know a drummer died later as well as the bassist?

Staley (frontman) and Starr (original bassist) both died from overdoses (Starr had a terrible heroin habit, which he fought to varying degrees of success, but died of a prescription drug overdose). Sean Kinney is the only drummer, ever, for AIC.

When you have 2 high profile heroin addicts in the band - before Starr was fired for heroin use - there is the possibility that all were addicts at one point. Starr is likely the last person to see Staley alive, as well.
