I would consider them addicts or possibly "troubled". See Whitney Houston

Shane McGowan

I was in the Olympia the night he vomited onstage over a large portion of the people sitting in the front row. How he is still alive is beyond me...

Nikki Sixx

The Keith Moon of the 1980's. Bassist with Motley Crue and all-round nutjob. Died in 1988 from a heroin overdose, but they did a "Pulp Fiction" on him and a few shots of adrenaline later he came around. Left a message on his answering machine afterwards 'Hi, it's Nikki. I can't come to the phone right now because I'm dead'.

George Best

Arguably the most naturally gifted footballer the British Isles has ever produced. He was the original rock-star footballer. Spent all his money on booze, women and fast cars; he squandered the rest. He sadly wasted his pure talent and faded away. Died in 2005 following a liver transplant, but failing to stay off the booze.

Frank Sinatra

Ol' Blue Eyes. The Chairman Of The Board. Was (allegedly) connected to the Mafia, drank Jack Daniels by the barrel and had an incredibly volatile relationship with his wife. Tore his house apart in a rage when President Kennedy refused to visit him there. Despite the years of alcohol and who knows, performed live well into his 70's.

Boris Yeltsin

The idea that the man who was in charge of the second most powerful country in the world, with a shaky finger poised over Russia's 39,000 nuclear warheads "Launch" button should be terrifying. But it was all a bit of a laugh, to be honest. The phrase "Circling over Shannon/the airport" was invented in tribute to him when he left our own Taoiseach standing on the tarmac like an eejit while he was on his plane too drunk to disembark. He and Bill Clinton were in charge of the world for most of the 1990's. The world was safer back then; when it was in the hands of an alcoholic and a sex maniac.

Pro wrestling has tons of great hellraisers, Andre The Giant once drank over 100 bottles of beer in a day, passed out in a hotel lobby and due to his size they just left him there until he woke up. Ric Flair used to get hammered and strut around hotel foyers bollock naked with a balloon tied to his knob, and once ran up a 20 grand bar tab.

GG Allin...the ultimate hellraiser

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GG_Allin

By this point, Allin's performances, which often resulted in considerable damage to venues and sound equipment, were regularly stopped after only a few songs by police or venue owners. Allin was charged with assault and battery or indecent exposure a number of times. His constant touring was only stopped by jail time or by long hospital stays for broken bones, blood poisoning, and other physical trauma.

Stained Class

Who bassist John Entwhistle was a fair Hellraiser on the quiet.

On the night before The Who's 2002 world tour,after a heavy session at a Las Vegas bar he decided to have a coke 'n hooker night in his hotel room.

He was found dead the next day at the age of 57.

I particularly liked his bandmate, Roger Daltrey's reaction to the news.

'Well, it's not a death any man should be ashamed of!'

Keith Moon.

Dave Mustaine

Ex-Metallica guitarist and current lead singer/guitarist of Megadeth, there was no drug that this man did not imbibe. Heroin was his tipple of choice however. Like Nikki Sixx, he died and was revived in the ambulance. He once drove through Los Angeles as boiled as an owl on a moped to get himself to a hospital. Legendary guitarist at the same time.

Keith Moon.

I would have said that a few years ago.

Even though I'm a Who fan, I can't like him that much.

Yes, he was zany & was brilliant at drumming.

However, he treated his wife & daugher horribly. They were scared of him & his moods.

In my book, that's ungood.

Da Shins Kelly

Ike was a c*nt.

I'd have to go with the Burton, Harris, O'Toole, Reed quartet too.

O'Toole is just class.

Rlly? Didn't know he lived like that. thought coke might have bn his choice as his fingers certainly didn't skag

the likes of "nikki sixx" simply had to live up to their lyrics as musically lightweight nonces.
