Poznati muzičari koji se ne drogiraju

Pošto je vrlo uobičajeno da poznati muzičari imaju problema sa narkoticima, zanimalo me je koji se meni omiljeni bendovi (ili neki njihovi članovi) nikada nisu drogirali. Našao sam dosta zanimljivih primera:

 

Tom Morello (RATM/Audioslave😞

- "He’s a big fan of whiskey, but otherwise is chemical-free – he says he’s never even smoked a cigarette"

 

 

Hayley Williams (Paramore):

- "My thing is i just don't drink, i don't smoke, i don't need to do drugs, i don't need to party, because it's never really tempted me"

 

 

Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden):

- "Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson describes his band as “very boring” admitting that the only drugs you will find backstage at an Iron Maiden gig are ‘Ibuprofen and Aspirin”."

 

 

Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park):

- "'I wasn’t a teenage drug addict,' said Shinoda, who grew up in Agoura Hills and studied illustration at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. 'I wasn’t running around in the streets trying to scrape together money to buy whatever the hell Chester was he was buying at the time.'"

 

 

Andre 3000 (Outkast):

- "I rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating."

 

 

Tim Mcilrath (Rise Against):

- "Mcilrath, along with most of the rest of Rise Against, follows the subculture ideology of 'straight edge', a belief that promotes refrain from using alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs, in a reaction to the excesses of punk subculture."

 

 

Bruce Springsteen:

-  "He's in good shape by not doing drugs." Springsteen has never done drugs, Van Zandt claims. "Don't drink, eat right, go to the gym and you can rock'n'roll at 62, too."

 

 

Mark Tremonti (Creed/Alter Bridge):

- "I haven't even smoked since i was 24 years old"

 

 

Oscar Dronjak (Hammerfal):

- “I’ve never done drugs in my entire life, I’ve never even smoked a cigarette. I don’t believe in it at all; my stance has always been that if your life is so bad that you have to do drugs, there’s something else that needs to change. I don’t need artificial drugs, life is a drug enough for me!”

 

Fun Fact: "Dronjak was born in the Swedish town of Mölndal to a Serbian father from Belgrade and a Swedish mother."

 

 

Avril Lavigne:

- "The singer has a strong dislike for illegal substances of all kinds, and remains adamant she never used them herself: 'I'm proud to say that I do not do drugs. I'm against them 100 per cent - and I don't hang out with people who do drugs.'"

 

 

Bryan Adams:

 

bryan-adams.jpg

 

- "I was never really interested in drugs and alcohol at all."

 

 

Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil):

-  "I mean, I don't do drugs, just because I'm not interested. I don't drink a lot, just because I am fine drinking a beer every once in a while. But it's not because of self-control or because I'm straight edge or anything like that. It's just who I am, without any stress."

 

 

Matthew Bellamy (Muse):

- "In an interview with Q, the rocker claimed taking hallucinogens every 12 months 'opened new doorways' for him. He said: 'I'm not really in favour of drugs. Setting aside one day a year for hallucinogenics definitely opens up new doorways.'"

 

 

Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam):

- "Eddie Vedder, unlike most of his peers, never fit into drug scene, as pointed out by the Washington Post. That certainly doesn't mean that he had an easier time than others, as seen in an Alternative Nation article where he describes his past struggles with depression, but hard drugs simply haven't been something he ever really turned to. Though heroin use was rampant among the music community at the time, as Stone Gossard told the Sydney Morning Herald, Pearl Jam stopped doing drugs pretty early on. As for Vedder, specifically, he swore off these substances as a teenager, according to the Los Angeles Times, and while he certainly isn't straight edge — in a 1994 interview, he said he drank about as much as the average person does — he has never seemed to have any problems with addiction or substance abuse."

 

 

Will.i.am (The Black Eyed Peas):

- "While their friends were getting high, Will and his best friend Redfoo had the last laugh. The Black Eyed Peas founder explains that their avoidance of the drug scene helped them focus on what they do best – music"

 

 

Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin):

- "In an interview with Howard Stern, Plant said. 'Drugs, I have no interest in'. Stern asked if Plant never had any interest in drugs. 'I did a little bit, yeah. But it got in the way of joy.'"

 

 

 

Da li znate koji su još poznati muzičari "čisti"?

Samo kad se Robert Plant nije drogirao. Kad je umro Prince, pitali su ga za droge, rekao je “been there, done that”.

 

Nisam to pročitao, ali svakako je u skladu sa ovim citatom koji sam ja pronašao. Možda još Belami i Veder nisu za ovu listu, pošto je prvi jednom godišnje na pečurkama, a drugi tvrdi da se odrekao toga kao tinejdžer, ali sam ih ostavio pošto su najveći deo karijere bili "čisti".
