I thought Slash and Duff have been clean for a few years now? Duff especially has been adamant about leaving that lifestyle behind.
duff was using painkillers just in recent years and slash was using some sort of pills too not too long ago i think |

Duff and Dave were not on drugs while making Libertad. No way.
I don't know about Matt but Scott and Slash are "guilty" while on different terms.

Duff was addicted to painkillers around the time of Libertad or just before it. He has stated that several times in interviews. |

Slash still had ongoing problems with alcohol and oxycontin abuse up until a couple years ago. Duff had a relapse with Xanax overuse during a VR tour, but not necessarily when they were making Libertad. Matt's been in and out of rehab here and there, as well. Dave, to my knowledge, has not relapsed on anything. Excuse me then all except Dave. Is that better?
As a matter of fact, yes.

Then I stand corrected. I thought that was before the making of Libertad. |

Either way they weren't all strung out on smack or crack. Not saying it's right either way but smack and crack are far and away worse than pills and most of the time alcohol.

I love VR but no way they are better than STP.
STP happens to be my fave band from that shitty early 90's era of music

he was better for STP anyways.. i liked him in stp but hated him for VR.. the music was great but the vocals ruined it for me..
STP has a lot more great songs. They are a better band. Not many would disagree with that. True there style of music was brought down becouse of there singer but when VR finds the singer that works for them I think STP wouldnt have a chance vs VR!!! And no one should be suprised that some members of VR have went to pills its not hunted down as much by the law but it still can fuck you up when making combos of them. |

For the record, according to what Duff has recently mentioned in Loaded interviews is that he had a 2 week relapse of pills back in 2005. Nothing more or less. The doctor prescribed him some pills for anxiety attacks (which he shouldn't have allowed in the first place) and Duff took the mistake of taking them on the road with him. So no 'real' drugs or booze or anything unlike Slash, it was 2 weeks addiction on medicine. Slash, well just read his book  And Matt had been partying too much and went in rehab the same time that Scott went in I think also 2005. I believe from memory that with Matt it was booze. |

They canceled the Australian tour in early 2008 because Scott went to rehab.... I think you mean late 2007/early 2008.... That was the cancellation Scott blamed on Matt's rehab visit. /jarmo |

From an audio message posted by Matt Sorum...
"I'm thinking about putting together a band with Lanny Cordola and doing a kind of acoustic album while I'm sitting around waiting for Slash and Duff and the singer guy...whenever he appears."

That doesn't sound optimistic. Im beginning to feel like VR is done. Kind of sad because while I thought Contraband was great, Libertad left a lot to be desired. |

I dont think its a priority at all at the moment for them. Its not hard to suspect that, you got Duff out on the road in support of an amazing album and Slash recording his solo album which is surely gonna be followed by promotion and hopefully some kind of tour.
Aslong as they return at some point I'll be happy, besides whats the Kush up to atm? Id love to hear some cool stuff from him.
