So much so that they were about to sell out MSG for 13 nights in a row. No other band has ever done that. So its about much more than just drugs. I have tons of friends from the scene, and none of us do drugs at shows.
It's about more than drugs. But let's be honest - that has a lot to do with it. They're incredible musicians, and decent songwriters. They don't sing well live (and the studio vocals are unremarkable). Trey loves himself and his solos are 10-20x longer than they should be.
It's too bad that so many ignorant people are chiming in on this thread.
It really is interesting how such wimpy music led by a really unappealing guy (and let's not get started on Mike Gordon) has been so successful for decades. Worthy of discussion.
