Hendrix was notorious among friends and bandmates for sometimes becoming angry and violent when he drank too much alcohol.[190] Kathy Etchingham spoke of an incident that took place in a London pub in which an intoxicated Hendrix beat her with a public telephone handset because he thought she was calling another man on the pay phone.[191] Carmen Borrero, another girlfriend, says she required stitches after he hit her with a bottle after drinking and becoming jealous.[192] Alcohol was also cited as the cause of Hendrix's 1968 rampage that badly damaged a Stockholm hotel room and led to his arrest. Paul Caruso's friendship with Hendrix ended in 1970 when Hendrix, while under the influence, punched him and accused him of stealing from him.[193]
Alice watched them all fall apart under the pressure of stardom.
Jimi, Jim, Janis, Keith..all of them killed themselves with booze and dope because they weren’t stable enough for sudden fame.
Booze makes people stupid.
A “mean drunk” is different from “angry” in my book.
Al Gore is angry, no alcohol required, for instance.
