Syd BarrettI am sure I forgot a few. Please fill in the blanks as you see fit. Also supply anecdotes where necessary to support your answers.
You know...Nikki Sixx should be on that list.
The argument for Brian Jones was that Keith Richards told him he was doing too much drugs.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.

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.You know...Nikki Sixx should be on that list.
He wasn't necessarily a "rock star", but it's very very hard to top G.G. Allin when it comes to drug use.
Give me Al Jourgensen from Ministry
Wade Boggs
Weird seeing "greatest" and "drug abuser" in the same sentence. What is so great about that?
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 MegadeathDidn't he shoot himself? He was a quitter. Suicides is a different category.
