Did Queen Do drugs?

Well Brian has stated many times that he never did any drugs. He didn't smoke either, and would often go into a different room when the rest of the band smoked. He has said this many times on his soapbox and I believe him.

"I'm sure Brian did something. Why is he always painted as such a goody-goody. He was a rock star, in his twenties and thirties, in the seventies, he must have tried something."

I agree. Even if he tried it once or twice and if it was just pot but he certainly tried something.
Every second 16-year old you'd meet on the street has already tried something, at least pot!
So why in the world should Brian haven't tried it if he was on that scene??

I thought Brian did heroin?

Poor old John..probably using vallium.

JD: Oh yeah, this is hell pure shi...*snore*

lol!!:)

Times are diffrent.
And I highly doubt your statistics. I can easily say that less than 10% of my friends have tried anything like that and are all well beyond their 30's..:.

I think we should believe Brian. He NEVER smoked, so why should habe he tried pot then?
I know Freddie did amounts...
I don't know about John.
Roger said he tried some pot once and it didn't suit for him.
But he was a booze-hound in the 80's

And what is this myth, that there aren't any "clear" rock-stars. Steve Harris from Iron Maiden: no cigarets, no drugs, a bit of beer and a lots of sports (footie)

I agree, and I believe Brian. It's not that I'm trying to idealize him, but if he said he never tried drugs, I believe him. Why not? And that statement that every second 16 year old tried marijuana isn't true. Freddie took coke, Roger tried once marijuana and hated it (said he felt like his brain was going to explode:)). John - I don't know. But Roger and Fred were total booze freaks, that's true... I think they have no reason to lie, and these are their own statements, so I believe them..

Naw they did tons of drugs! They were rock stars!
I don't believe Roger's statement that he tried marijuana only once. To me, he looked pretty stoned in some pics from the 70's.
John and Brian had the odd drink. Freddie was known to have taken cocaine.

Whoever metioned the Motley Crue Autobiography, sadly hasn't read Crystal's page who negates that story. And more to the point, how could one possible believe something that a member of Motley crue has recounted from the eighties?!

Naw they did tons of drugs! They were rock stars!

So what?? I think it's bullshit to think all rock stars are taking drugs!! It has nothing to do with it, if you are a strong personality and don't want to take it, then you won't take it even if you are God himself... Rock stars are only humans, and there sure are those who do, but also those who don't take drugs...

I don't believe Roger's statement that he tried marijuana only once. To me, he looked pretty stoned in some pics from the 70's.

Oh, darling, lol, you should see me how I look when I'm pissed.... stoned is a small word:) lol, like death on two legs:)) And I don't smoke, and tried pot only once, and felt so horrible... If I was a dozen times rock star I would have never tried it again!!! So I pretty much believe Roger when he says he felt awful after a pot cause I felt the same... And your statement that he looked stoned on pics.. Like I said, many people look the same when they are only pissed..

I agree!i play with my band since 2000 and i never tried (and don't want to take) drugs...ok ok, i know i'm not a rockstar (now...) ;o)

the fact you are famous doesn't mean you take drugs.But unfortunately often stars "consider" drugs...personally i can't see a reason, maybe there is no reason.

Anyway i don't believe Roger tried only once :)

Ted Nugent is a great example of a rock star in the 70's that you would think was heavy into drugs and booze. He never ever touched the stuff.

I think it was Freddie and Roger on one side (drugs) and Brian and John on the other side (alcohol).

Especially when John rang up Margaret Thatcher in the early 80's.

*click*

MT: Hello, Maggie Thatcher speaking?
JD: Yesh, I'm Deacon Jo-*hic*-hn...wait..thatsh not my name..John Deacon from some *hic* band or other..
MT: Oh yes, that band with the big teethed fellow.
JD: Yesh, that's him..anywho *hic* I was thinking if ANYONE knew where to get some tang it would be you.
MT: But sir..
JD: SHUT UP! And another thing *flushes toilet*

In all reality John probably did smack, dope, pink, horse, bone, pipe, limp; everything. He just really took it well.

I once read a story about how Brian got piss drunk with Joe Perry before a spring 1974 concert, and because Brian was so bombed, he couldn't hear himself play at all, and just had to play from memory. After that show, he vowed to never drink or do any kind of drug before a show again!

This is the show when Aerosmith and Queen fought over who would play first. While the two bands were fighting (minus the guitarists), Brian and Joe took the time to get to know each other. Quite a nice story, I think!
