In addition to being a smoker, I have heard rumors that Steve Miller was also a joker and a midnight toker. Some have went so far as to claim that he was also, simultaneously, a picker, a grinner, a lover, and a sinner. I wanted to mention him, but I couldn't remember his name. I've always just called him Maurice. I can't quite recall how that started, but I think it had something to do with his comments about the pompitous of love.

i recall reading might have been an interview with Izzy but back when Guns n' Roses first formed, in able to afford to tour and record what would become the live like a suicide album, Axl, Izzy, and Tracii Guns were basically test patients at some hospital in LA where they got paied to smoke for 8 hours a day and get tests taken on them so show the effect of smoking on the body.

Freddie Mercury was a heavy smoker in the '80s. He did so to deliberately change his voice. I'm sorry, but that is such a dumb plan Well it started out that way, then became a normal habit, and it worked to a certain extent. It's not like his voice got worse (IMO), but he definitely lost some of the "sweetness" from his voice that was evident in the '70s.

Yup. Marlboro was also going to sponsor a tour of theirs, but they turned it down because they believed kids shouldn't smoke just because they did. This didn't stop Axl from wearing a Marlboro Tshirt on stage, however. ---------- Gonna go with all rock singers as smokers. At least the cool ones.

Tom Waits, but I guess that's pretty obvious when you hear him.
