Chain Smoking Guitar Heroes?

hmm i don't really know how many of my guitar heros smoke. smoking is
retarded, but then again sex, drugs and rock'n'roll wouldn't be quite the
same without drugs.

Didn't you know?
Vintage Fender Amps with cigarette burns on top and Strats with burn marks
on the headstock actually add 10% to the value of the instrument.

opening for Black Sabbath when VH 1 had just come out. i thought he was cool
as h*ll....and likewise picked up the marlboro habit for the next 12
years.....probably NOt the thing i should have learned from him!
and yes, jimi smoked too, i've seen numerous photos of him smoking cigarettes
and otherwise.....

[] Zappa was fond of the cancer sticks, often seen with a smoking butt on his
[] headstock. I used to emulate this, back when I smoked.
I tried that a couple of times, but then it occurred to me that someone in the
audience is probably thinking "hey, look at him trying to do that zappa ciggy
in the headstock thing like he's gonna get 'is picture on the cover of rollin'
stone'r sumpin'. It reminds me of that Robb Scott joker."
[] There's a pic of Page, LP slung impossibly low, butt hanging out of his
[] mouth, wicked smile on his face. I tried to emulate this, but got smoke in
[] my eyes and dropped the cig on my foot. A girl laughed at me. I was
[] traumatized.
Me hero!!

Let's see if I recall this correctly from a Curtis Knight book I read
back in about '78:
"Yeah, if I didn't smoke I'd be fat as a pig [laughs]"
Of course, he may not have been referring to tobacco products.
