Guns and Roses saw the writing on the wall and tried to get Nirvana to tour with them. But I think cocaine was also at play and what cocaine does is shorten careers.

Guns and Roses saw the writing on the wall and tried to get Nirvana to tour with them. But I think cocaine was also at play and what cocaine does is shorten careers. The best example is tennis and professional basketball players in the 1970s that had very short primes while now NBA players that take care of their bodies can have 10 years of prime career and 20 years of high performance. With comedy it’s not coincidence that the great comedic actors that came of age in the late 1970s seemed to hit a wall in around 1990 and then the next generation that didn’t use cocaine such as Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell have much longer careers.
You referenced GNR and Nirvana. I knew both personally so I knew their drug of choice which was heroin. Not mentioning which members by name, but their drug use was very well documented.
Cocaine is what makes you more productive…but it shortens your career. Heroin was big in the 70s and from what I understand when cocaine became available everyone thought it was great because it wasn’t dangerous like heroin. I watched an old SNL and they even make fun of cocaine like we would make fun of someone smoking marijuana.

I think you're confusing cocaine with heroin in both cases. GNR even wrote a song about it: Mr. Brownstone
