Pretty short and sweet for this blind today. The things this musician saw over the years just added up. He tried to ignore the underage women that were constantly around. For a long time he joined in on the drugs but stopped when they tarted damaging him. When one band member tried to get off, then the lead singer would force that member to start taking them again just so the singer would have someone to party with. The lead singer would always try and steal any woman you were seeing and then if he was successful dump her the day after having sex with her. He would then brag about it or share photos or talk about it on stage. Just an A+ list a-hole and sometimes you want to be in a happy place and that band was not ever going to be a happy place.
Aerosmith?
ReplyDeleteSlash, Axel and GnR?
ReplyDeleteAxl is definitely an asshole 👍🏼
DeleteLindsey Buckinngham/Mick Fkeetwood
ReplyDeleteFM
Danny Kirwin for the musician maybe-he just passed
DeleteTomo Milicevic has left 30 Seconds To Mars.
ReplyDeleteDavid Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen. Michael Anthony, this is about?
ReplyDelete@sandybrook.DLR and women??? Show me the proof because I do not believe it!!
Delete+1 Tomo Milicevic ....No More relating to Up in the Air lyric.s
ReplyDeleteShaun Ryder Happy Mondays
ReplyDelete+2 Ghost's guess of Tomo in Thirty Seconds to Mars. A shame because Leto needs the counter balance. His live singing isn't as good as it used to be and he orders the crowd way too much to participate to sing for him.
ReplyDeleteIzzy from GNR
ReplyDeleteBeach Boys
ReplyDeleteMy mind immediately went to Axl Rose...
ReplyDeleteSome of this could be real SD, some of it could be fake

Mike Patton from Faith "No More?"
ReplyDeleteA friend told me once, that my husband's ex girlfriend who was a bartender, gave DLR a blowjob.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound more like the epic assholery of Axl Rose.
ReplyDeleteWho I originally thought was a woman because of the weird name, high pitched singing and appearance ;)
ReplyDeleteFleetwood Mac turmoil beats all other bands' turmoil. I think it's Danny Kirwin because of his recent death, but the girlfriend stealing is also straight out of Axl Rose's playbook too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know enough about 30STM to comment on that. (Except the Jared + underage groupies, but I assume all bands had them.)
Definitely doesn't sound like Mike Patton, because he was lead singer, and he wasn't an asshole and never A+ list. Even less so for the previous singer.
Axl came to mind as soon as I read this. Grade A douche and known for screwing Steven Adler's girlfriend for sound effects on Rocket Queen off of Appetite for Destruction if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if Danny Kirwan would apply because of the photo sharing thing. That sort of implies mobile phones, not available in the late sixties and early seventies when photos had to be sent away or dropped in a chemist and then usually a week or two's wait to be developed.
ReplyDeleteNot unless Fleetwood Mac carting about their own dark room on tour.
If Axl it should have said permanent A list asshole.
ReplyDeleteBilly Corgan/Smashing Pumpkins?
ReplyDeleteDewey Cox.
ReplyDeleteWalk. Walk hard. Down life’s rocky road. Walk bold, hard. That’s my dream, my code...
DeleteI do believe in you. I just know you’re gonna fail.
DeleteJames Hetfield and/or Lars Ulrich of Metallica? I remember Jason Newsted quitting because of "duress" and poor Kirk Hammett always looks like an abused wife.
ReplyDeleteBacking the 30 Seconds To Mars guesses. Leto likes them underage, and who is easier to bully into doing drugs with you than a younger sibling (Shannon Leto)?
ReplyDeleteD. All of the above.
ReplyDeleteActually, "that band was not ever going to be a happy place" is past tense, which implies that the band has broken up.
ReplyDeleteWhich eliminates most guesses here.
(Although Enty grammar being what it is....)
It's only past tense regarding the person who left, it doesn't mean the band is broken up.
ReplyDeleteFred Durst- Limp Biskut
ReplyDeleteThe Danny Kirwan guesses are ridiculous. He left Fleetwood Mac in 1972. They didn't have any one particular lead singer at the time unless you count the short duration of Jeremy Spencer (admittedly a perv, but not around for long).
ReplyDeleteSounds a little CSN.
ReplyDeleteNot GnR. At all. Axl is an asshole, but not like this, and he was calling out Slash for drugs onstage during the Use Your Illusions tour. Axl also never stole anyone's girlfriend, he was with Stephanie Seymour during the Illusions era. And it wasn't Steven's girlfriend he was fucking during Rocket Queen, she was just one of the band's groupies they all fucked at one point or another. Plus, this blind is clearly implying this band does not exist anymore, GnR most certainly still exists, and is touring Europe right now. Axl is absolutely a world class gaping asshole, but none of this fits him.
ReplyDeleteMetallica? LOL. Riiiiiiiiiight. Stop blurting out random names, especially a band that's NOTORIOUS for alcohol (Alcoholica is a classic t-shirt), not drugs. And from what I've seen, James has never been a groupie/fuck other people's women kind of guy. Ever.
My first thought was Scott Weiland and Stone Temple Pilots - Scott was using the whole time, made the entire band and crew miserable, and the guitarist, Dean Delelo, has admitted to shooting up at times during their career, and later cleaned up. STP and Weiland fit a lot better than most other bands. STP was a complete nightmare behind the scenes because of Weiland and his addiction.
"No more" could be a reference to an Aerosmith song (No more No More), but Aerosmith is still together.
And, this could also be complete bullshit, a lot of the music related blinds that aren't rap seem to be someone who's got an agenda, and posts urban legends and rumor as fact. One of the Enterns, obviously.
Also, "short and sweet" is probably a clue. Song title? Height challenged singer?
ReplyDeleteCould easily be Prince, except that his "band" had rotating members, and his drug use was secretive.
Black Crowes could be, too - the singer is notorious for drugs and being a total fucking asshole.
Les Brown and his Band of Reknown. That Les was a real Poon-hound.
ReplyDeleteI’ll add Red Hot Chili Peppers/ Anthony Kiedis to the list of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteJohn and Paul were still fucking gay get over it
ReplyDeleteThis could literally be any band.
ReplyDeleteGuns N Roses
ReplyDeleteI could see Gene Simmons from Kiss being like this. He’s always given me creeper vibes. Doubt this particular BI is about him, but I’m sure he’s done similar and worse.
ReplyDeleteThere was a blond a few months ago saying that Axl has such a microscopic dick that he screwed all the groupies after band and crew were done with them, hoping they wouldn’t notice how small he was. So... I like the STP guess. Wetland was charming in the beginning and once the drugs really took over his entire life (early on), he became an insufferable cunt.
ReplyDelete*blind not blond
DeleteOmg WEILAND, not wetland. OY.
DeleteMike Patton is definitely known to be an asshole at times, but he never struck me as this strain of it; more just being a primadonna, and never big on drugs in the first place. The band came back together like 3 years ago and seemed like they were genuinely happy to see each other; album was way better than anyone needed it to be, too. Plus, now that he's happily out, it's not like Roddy Bottum had any women to be taken from him.
ReplyDeleteThe women-stealing almost definitely dates this to a band that peaked in the 60s, 70s or 80s; by the 90s, at least the OVERT womanizing was getting dialed back.
Tomo is married and doesn't seem the type to cheat. Also, Shannon is older, not younger. Both Leto brothers are messed up but Tomo has stuck it out for many years, I doubt this is them.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking STP for this one.
P. Floyd
ReplyDeleteI would agree with 30 seconds to Mars
ReplyDeleteThe band sure isn’t A list
But the lead singer is
Mick and keith
ReplyDeleteThrowing in the obligatory Don Henley / Eagles guess
ReplyDelete"short and sweet" = Short And Sweet, the David Gilmour song?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, depending how old the blind is, Syd Barrett as singers, musician being David Gilmour
The Osmonds?
ReplyDeleteShort term lurker, first time commenting. Hello all!
ReplyDeleteREM and Michael Stipe because of references to “happy” and it could be “Shiny Happy People”?
Motley Crue, with Mick being the band member who tried to ignore underage girls/quit the drugs.....and Nikki Sixx as the band member who tried quitting but was coerced into more drug use. (Although that could be Tommy too). Vince loves to brag about his conquests and is a super douche.
ReplyDeleteRon hobbs thanks for the LOL 🤣
ReplyDeleteNot Michael Stipe. He gay.
This is 30 Seconds to Mars with Tomo quitting.
ReplyDeleteShannon for trying to get off drugs and Jared forcing him back.
Jared for sleeping with everyone.
Axl is an asshole but he's not a druggie. I'd say that 30 seconds to mars dude but is Leto actually A+?
ReplyDeleteKorn / Jonathan
