In fact, I've noticed that most of the "guitar heroes" I've either worked with or hired for events are super clean. Andy Timmons, JP, IA, Bumblefoot, Vinnie Moore, etc. are just focused on having fun creating music. I think it's a huge part of why they are successful and have such longevity in the industry. I refuse to work with anybody who is an illegal drug user or a drunk. Life is too short and there are plenty of people out there willing to have fun making music without those negative influences.

perhapse judge people by their skill and work ethic rather than what the do with their personal time, those guys have the drive. just because you do drugs doesnt mean you cant have a drive to sucseed. if that was the case aerosmith, elton john, eric clapton...ect, all of which had drug issues at one time or another would not be where they are today
