Was he intoxicated already? I've never been through op withdrawal, I assume its worse than I can imagine, however, is it worth risking a career like this over? I mean, just saying, if I was in a famous (if shitty sounding) rock band, I would do anything but risk that. He plays bass for money...I mean shit, I know a lot of people who wish they could be in a famous rock band that wouldn't rob a pharmacy. I guess they did as well seeing as he's already been replaced.
