    As we all know, Eddie drinks a lot on stage. Mike finished with drug problems sometime around 2000 (before Riot Act was released). The latest thing I know is an interview Matt gave to one famous Greek music magazine called Pop & Rock, while they were rocking Athens back in 2006. He said: We are all older now, we are parents and we cannot take so many drugs as we did in the past. According to the magazine, that statement was followed by a big laughter.

    All due respect, Fixer, I notice you make PC statements about the band, like you're the PR Mgr. or a blood relative. And your not the board moderator, but I wouldn't doubt that you narc on people here.

    Who cares if people are curious about this, especially since the members of PJ publicly talk about many private subjects - drugs, relationsips, et. al.? Get a grip, and get off your soap-box.... And I do mean it when I say all due respect.

    I think it's actually a good thing to know about the band though I can also understand how it falls under the privacy issue of their lives. But the fact that they lived through it and seem like reasonably intelligent nice guys; it could be inspiration for people that suffer drug addiction.

    I'd say all the answers you need are in the band's lyrics.
    The first 5 songs on Backspacer kind of give you sense that the names of the songs are about drugs, Gonna See My Friend, Get Right, The Fixer, Johnny Guitar & Just Breathe. Anyone else ever thought of that?

    Be careful linking everything to drugs, people will think you're a drug addict, :D , though a valid point.

    If I had to guess...I say Ed still enjoys the occasional joint, it seems that he jokes about it an awful lot. Mike used to have a prescription (i think it was prescription) drug problem. However, it seems to me that drugs are not a big part of this band b/c look at all the other bands that have had drug problems, most of them are not still around. I think music is the focus with PJ, not partying.
    Hearts and thoughts they fade....
    fade away...

    I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.

    Except only one of those songs is actually even loosely related to drugs, and that one (Gonna See My Friend) is about an intervention, ie getting someone OFF drugs.

    So, there's that ...
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
