After dropping 200 plus hits of acid, Brian Jones was face up in a swimming pool thinking Christopher Robbins must know Whinnie the Po is a fake...

ro, have you read Motley Crüe's autobiography titled "The Dirt?" It's an amazing retelling of their careers with cameos from Ozzy, David Lee Roth and more.
Those guys have lived 9 lives and then some.
Wow. That got a pretty good response! I had thought of Elvis, but did not include him because I don't think of him as a rock star--more of a crooner, but the categories are fluid. I always liked the joke I heard Willie Nelson tell about Elvis' last words: "Corn?"
There is an extremely good argument for Keith Richards simply because he did all that and did NOT die.

The argument for Brian Jones was that Keith Richards told him he was doing too much drugs.Wow. That got a pretty good response!

Hmmm.....according to this author, Nikki Sixx was Mötley Crüe's drummer and they had a hit song called Jumpstart My Heart. Apparently I must have been stoned during the 80s.
Sixx is a fraud. His book "The Heroin Diaries" is a joke. Others have come out and questioned how he could be so "with it" to write a diary in such detail and be strung out to the extent he claimed. Of course, this is the same guy that in 1997 in a Guitar World interview said he was going to write a industrial rock album in 1989, however Bob Rock talked him out of it and instead wrote Dr Feelgood. He's more full of himself than Gene Simmons.
He is the greatest because he is STILL AROUND today doing it ! He has to be the greatest because the rest couldn't handle it.
The guy is a medical miracle. I'm sure he doesn't partake at the levels he used to, but he still always has a smoke in hand.

My brother saw him once (Stone Pony maybe?) when a videographer friend of his was commissioned to film Allen's show. During the show he shoved the mic stand up his own behind. A sick individual.

Andre the Giant. He was in a band, right?
This article does a few conversions based on Andre's feat of drinking 156 cans of beer in one night (confirmed by another wrestler). That equals...
10 Bottles of Jack Daniels or
62 Colt 45s or
32 Bottles of Wine or
65 Shots of Everclear
1,476 Minibottles of Liquor

Not a rock star but John Prine sure did a nice job with alcohol. Always had to see his first set cause he seldom made the second set
Great meaning large or immense. He used it in the pejorative sense...
Another vote for Johnny Thunders (Chinese Rocks, One Track Mind, etc...)
Probably should throw in Peter Laughner as well.
I watched Behind The Music on Motley Crue and didn't think that they would be beat for drug abuse, till I saw the episode on Megadeath
