MadScreamingGallery Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I just saw a video in health where he was talking about not doing drugs and how important he felt it was to stay clean. I really hope he gets better soon. I didn't know Steven Tyler made a video for school health classes to warn kids about the dangers of drugs. It all begins with a moment of weakness, I'll just try this one for a little buzz then it's like you never quit. I don't know if it's true but when I was a teenager someone told us that for some people, certain drugs - such as heroin - are instantly addictive. That information was one reason why I never tried hard drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzfan715 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 He did. It had stuff about Kurt Cobain dying of herion but failed to mention Janis Joplin. I was very mad. Kurt Cobain isn't the only person who died because of drugs in the music buisness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I almost said that was a sad excuse of a kid, but then I remembered that most kids don't care about the past. I'm not much into Kurt Cobain, I did give Nirvana a chance, but I didn't care for it. Anyway, they showed Steven Tyler so I don't understand why they didn't use Janis. No one but me knew who Steven Tyler was. I had to explain who Aerosmith was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I didn't know Steven Tyler made a video for school health classes to warn kids about the dangers of drugs. I don't know if it's true but when I was a teenager someone told us that for some people, certain drugs - such as heroin - are instantly addictive. That information was one reason why I never tried hard drugs. Heroin is an opiate. Opiates are said to permanently alter the brain's chemistry so that when the brain notices an absence of the drug in the body it causes a person to react by craving more of the drug. www.lycos.com Scientific researchers have studied the reasons why opiates alter the brain's chemistry and published papers on their findings. Drugs permanently alter the brain's chemistry because they bind to and then chemically alter the receptors in the brain and their structure. Neurotransmitters may also play a role in the altered chemistry by sending messages from the brain to the body's nervous system. There is a public presentation designed to explain in depth exactly how this works that I recall seeing on television during a science program, though I don't recall the name. brain.oxfordjournals.org Opioid-binding sites in the central nervous system were proposed by Beckett and Casy (1954) and Portoghese (1965), and demonstrated in mammalian brain tissue in 1973 by using radioligand-binding assays on isolated brain tissue (Pert and Snyder, 1973; Simon et al., 1973). The extensive pharmacological studies performed during the last decades have uncovered a variety of opioid receptor (OR) subtypes. To date, four ORs have been cloned, the mu-(µ) (MOP-R), kappa-() (KOP-R), delta-() (DOP-R) and the NOP-R, the latter initially referred to as ORL-1 (Mollereau et al., 1994), or nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptor (Meunier et al., 1995).

It sounds like your classmates aren't into rock music. What do they listen to? My own children just grew up listening to all sorts of rock music so they know who everyone is - including Janis.

lzfan715 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I live in Hickville USA so it's all country. And not even real country, it's pop like Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, etc. I personally can't stand that music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only say that there is nobody else to blame when it comes to addiction We make our own bed and after recovery, we accept that it really is Nobody's Fault But Mine. The world does become a better place once we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Several years ago there were unconfirmed reports of Steven Tyler falling off the wagon but I don't recall it ever becoming much more than that. In other words, I don't think it ever got out of the rumor stage. As for Kurt Cobain, he didn't die of drugs. He died from a fatal shotgun wound to the head. Drugs may have led to him wanting to take his own life but they weren't the cause of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Aw, I wish the guy all the best too. As our American top-rockers, they have withstood so many hardships, yet always came back to each other for the music and playing. I've never seen a kinder rock star than Steven. He ALWAYS reaches out to his fans, and is NICE to them. He understands what being a fan is. They all had the courage and strength to perceiver when drugs were destroying the entire band. Hat's off to them for actually getting "GROUP" as in THE group counseling, when they were all fighting with each other and their wives. That takes some balls if you ask me. Good luck Steven!

The Pagemeister Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 AEROSMITH Guitarist Comments On STEVEN TYLER's Rehab Stint AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry has spoken to Blender.com about reports that after two decades of clean living, the group's 60-year-old frontman Steven Tyler has checked himself into a drug rehab clinic in Pasadena, California. "I actually haven't talked to [steven] in a while," Perry tells Blender.com during in an interview to promote the upcoming Guitar Hero: Aerosmith game. "We spend most of our time off the road split up — that's just how it goes." Does he know what Tyler's in rehab for? "I'm not sure, but I hope he's doing OK." Meanwhile, Perry is undergoing his own recovery — from a recent total knee-replacement surgery. "I'm about eight or nine weeks out from it," he tells Blender.com. "I still walk with a cane, but I'll be up and running probably within the next month. We have some press to do for Guitar Hero and hopefully I'll be able to make some of those events." Tyler reportedly checked into the Pasadena Recovery Center, the site where Dr. Drew Pinsky practices and also the setting for the reality TV show "Celebrity Rehab". There's been no official word about what addiction Tyler is dealing with. The band members had serious drug problems in the late '70s and early '80s, but Tyler has been clean and sober since 1986.

Jahfin Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Maybe Perry can convince Tyler to get into the studio before he completely cleans up so they can record an album that doesn't suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IluvJimmyPage Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah, but Layne Staley? Yes that was really a tragedy unfortunately. I hope Steven Tyler gets the help he needs and is on the road to recovery soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Maybe Perry can convince Tyler to get into the studio before he completely cleans up so they can record an album that doesn't suck. Agreed! With one of 'em off the wagon, maybe they can pull off something that's least embarassing than Just Push Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I just read in some gossip site that he checked into that Dr. Drew's "Celebrity Rehab." I've seen that show and it's kinda disgusting. I shudder to think who he will be among, and if he will be on any of the episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 that's cold..... ....but funny as hell. It's a bit of a paradox. Back in the 70s their early records kicked ass but they reportedly could suck in concert on occasion due to the drug abuse. After they regrouped their albums weren't so hot but they kicked ass live. Of course I mean no ill will towards Tyler but it's an observation I couldn't pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I mean no ill will towards Tyler but it's an observation I couldn't pass up. Saw them in concert this past fall - they were awesome. Joe Perry really did seem to shine more so than Steven Tyler but I thinks that was when he had some kind of illness with his throat. Maybe he is addicted to prescription drugs? That would not be out of the ordinary with ex hard drug users - also what doctors prescribe for addicts. Just guessing. I hope he gets well soon he definitely rocks!

yahyoubetcha Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 It'a been reported that he checked himself in because he had some serious foot surgery and needed a safe and quiet place to recover. No alcohol or drug problems, just some peace and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Plant Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 30-May-08 Steven Tyler UPDATE STEVEN TYLER checked himself into a rehab facility earlier this month after a series of surgeries and post-operative physical therapy (to correct long-time foot injuries resulting from his trademark athletic performance onstage). “The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it would require a few surgeries over time,” Tyler says. “The ‘foot repair’ pain was intense, greater than I'd anticipated. The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet. Make no mistake, AEROSMITH has no plans to stop rocking. There’s a new album to record, then another tour.” http://www.aeroforceone.com/index.cfm/pk/v...0406/pid/302766 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
