Damn , their albums were a staple in the London metal club scene 10-15 years ago.
Over here (UK) around the same time I remember watching a series of documentaries called School of Rock with Gene Simmons (bass player from Kiss). I always remember a scene where he had a class full of teens and he'd surrounded the walls with pictures of loads of great musicians from Hendrix to Cobaine, Staley, you name it..... and he just walked around the room slapping each and shouting 'dead', 'dead', 'dead', ''dead'. More powerful than any government drug message. Not that I agree with abstention
Personally I've lost a cousin and a sister in law to Heroin so I know first hand what effect drug problems can have on families.
