The top 5 non-drinking rockers who are hardcore hardcore burners

Is it possible to be a famous musician and not drink hard liquor? Of courseBut it's harder than it seems: if you're a star, you're always surrounded by people who might be unpleasant to you, you have to go from one city to another on endless tours, trying to write lyrics for the next albums, and then you have to spend sleepless nights recording the albums themselves. Well, how can you not burn out and start looking for solace?

The people we're gonna be talking about today are definitely know like! We've compiled for you the top of the very, very healthiest musicians. They're just obsessed and want to stay healthy longer to keep their fans happy with good music.

Gene Simmons

Kiss musicians in make-up look like the spawn of hell. Because of this it seems that the musicians indulge in a "hellish" way of life: they drink hopelessly and chisel everything they can into themselves. But the appearance deceptive: as the saying goes, don't judge Kiss by its cover, because Gene Simons, the band's frontman, is a convinced teetotaller.

The Demon (Simmons' pseudonym) never. was not a real "demon". Judge for yourself: the musician does not drink, has never smoked or used, has never encouraged anyone to do so and, most importantly, he was a vs. this one.

Gene Simmons believes that a person should control himself, and because of the use of substances it is impossible. In addition, the musician has never been attracted to the idea of specifically distort his consciousness. He knew it could help creativity. But would creativity be helped by a developed dependence and all the consequences that come with it? He understood where this was leading. Simmons also didn't want grieve your mum.

Notably, Simmons was offered to star in advertising of beer. And he agreed.

The ad calls him an expert on "flavours", although the musician is a never drank beer.

Ian Anderson

The leader of Jethro Tull had a negative attitude to alcohol and substances. However, he didn't need them - the artist always looked wild without them. Wild in a good way, take a look his speech and you'll see what's meant.

In the interview, Anderson explained that specifically to him. dislike in people who drink or drug themselves:

"I don't like the atmosphere that comes from drunks. I find it difficult to interact with people who are not themselves"

Angus Young

The AC/DC guitarist was also an ardent adversary alcohol and drugs. Watching his older brother, Malcolm, drowning in alcohol, Angus not only talked to his brother, convincing him to stop, but also forcefully culled from his brother's bottles, which often led to brawls.

In an interview, Stuart Young recalled how the brothers fought because of alcohol. It got to the point where the brothers would turn up at school with bruises, and when asked how they got them, they would say they had fallen down. They loved each other and tried to support each other, only occasionally overstepping boundaries.

Angus's influence forced Malcolm quit drinking. He did not quit smoking, but after the fist prophylaxis he did not drink for the rest of his life.

Ted Nugent

Nugent has always been teetotaler and has never hidden his contempt for alcohol, drugs and those who use them:

"My mum and dad were alcoholics. As a kid I didn't know they were addicted yet, I thought they just drank Tom Collins - whatever that was - or martinis and olives. Then as I got older and got into the world of serious rock and roll, I was surrounded by people who smoked and drank"

A lot of fans are affected how a musician manages to be in the centre of the mud without drowning in it. Here's what Nugent had to say about it:

"Some people look for the easy way out. I wasn't looking for one. In fact I think it was just luck, because my brothers and sisters were smoking and drinking and they weren't even surrounded by all that rock 'n' roll filth. I was."

Someone suggested that the musician chatted only with non-drinkers and non-smokers, so I managed not to get hooked myself. Nugent breaks it's an assumption:

"And now I'm going to demolish that theory at the root. Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones) is the biggest influence on my writing. That said, he's always been high. But he grinds the emotions so deeply. Almost everybody who influenced me was high most of the time. But I admired what they were doing. They were all wobbly, but I admired them regardless. Even though I realised for myself what it was all leading up to and how they were ruining their health. I didn't want to behave in the same way, despite all the perks for creativity"

Henry Rollins

Singer Henry Rollins inspired example of Ted Nugent, who showed that you don't have to be drunk to be a cool artist. Back in high school, Rollins tried illegal substances and booze, but he didn't like it. He never went back to it.

But the musician has another dependence - gym. When Rollins first went there, he immediately realised it was a lifelong love. When a musician goes on tour, the first thing he thinks about is how he's going to be walk to the gym between performances. When signing a contract, he always makes it a special condition to be able to attend a rocking chair. Without it, he refuses to perform.

In 2022, the musician will be 61 years old, but he's still a swings:

"Iron is my best friend. It never throws tantrums, never runs away from me, and never lies to me."
