10 Amazing Rock Albums That You Didn't Know Were About Drugs

Fame can end up doing a lot of crazy things to rock stars. Since you now have eyes on you everywhere you go, it's no surprise that people need to turn to some chemical vices to get through their every day lives. When you've already been a little out of your mind to begin with, it gets downright dangerous for bands like Aerosmith.

Going into the production for Draw the Line, the band were in shambles at the hands of their vices, with Joe Perry already being a heroin junkie before the recording even started. Looking to take them away from their dealers in the city, the band's managers that this record be made in an abandoned asylum, which was supposed to make them focus solely on the music. In the words of Steven Tyler though, "dealers deliver," and this album is buried in that haze.

Before Joe even strapped on his guitar, he went into his bedroom at the site and ended up staying in his room for days at a time trying to come down from his heroin buzz. Add into the mix some firearms and you've got the perfect disaster that nearly destroyed the band to create. Considering all of the dangerous stuff going on at the time, it's a miracle we even managed to get an album at all here. Because from the looks of it, it looked like it was only a matter of time before one of them was brought back from the studio in a body bag.
