Van Halen's Drug Usage Over The Years

[DavidLeeNatra]

the last thread about that subject turned into NATRA'S AND RIKK'S BAR... :D

Pretty much what everyone else has said, IMO; some blow, some grass, lotta booze.

Roth has never struck me as a rockstar who let the substances take control of him, despite his rehab stints. He comes off as being in control.

The Dirt is an entertaining read, but so much of it comes off as bullshit, agreed. If those guys were half as fucked up as they claimed, their memories are PROBABLY not too reliable on many things.

I have a hazy memory that in Crazy From the Heat Dave talks about having cocaine-snorting contests with Ozzy when they toured together back in the early days (I assume when VH was opening for Sabbath and blowing them off the stage every night). Basically they would see who could do more coke. I think the chapter is called "Krell Wars" or something like that . . .

I'm guessing that having a coke-snorting contest with Ozzy back in those days would be a little like having a Smoking-Loon-drinking contest (or a meth-smoking contest?) with Ed these days.

Can anyone paste the articles where DLRtalks about or even mentions being in rehab for cocaine? I've read so much about DLR and classic VH but can't remember ONE quote from DLR about this. Thanks...

Dave may have or have had a coke problem, but it's nowhere near as bad as Jesterstar's addiction to the cock.

Jesterstar...HE'S ADDICTED TO THE COCK!!!

Dave hides his coke in a little salt shaker that he carries around.

Notice how dave wipes his nose alot with a little rag during his strumming with the devil performances. Thats a typical sign of cocaine use.
