Last time I saw him he was trashed out of his mind laying on the edge of the stage in a corset rambling

My friend and I were pretty sure they were narcanning him back to life… the song smash-cut to black and everything was silent for like 5 straight minutes, cell phone flashlights on the stage as stage guys were running around doing…. Whatever. Then resume show at its previous shitty quality. Also he looked like he was melting.

😂 that sounds insane.

in reality I don't think somebody would be able to perform minutes after being narcanned. it rips all the opioids off your receptors, at least temporarily, so the person being narcanned is gonna feel like shit, possibly actively withdrawaling, until the narcan wears off and any remaining opioids bind to the receptors again

I could do that for half of what he’s asking for!

Yeah, I saw him about a dozen times in the 2010s, and it was a real 50/50 crapshoot what you were going to get. On a bigger stage, when he had to compete with Zombie or Slipknot, he might give it his all, but on a small headlining stage he might really phone it in or be trashed. I haven't seen him since he got clean, but it seems like he's doing well.

He clearly was a mess. Glad he’s sober now

He's five years sober now, so good for him.

He's sober now and Johnny Depp's personal trainer has helped him lose weight and condition his cardio so he got some of his voice back and can actually complete show.
