My impressions about when Erin Everly ODâed at Steven Adlerâs house
My take on what could have happened when Erin ODâed at Steven Addlerâs home, based on what Iâve read so far:
First of all, I read somewhere (really sorry, I donât remember the source but if I ever come across it again I will include it here) that in the famous interview Erin gave to Peopleâs Magazine there was a BIG misled when they stated that Erin ended up in hospital after a fight with Axl. Actually, Peopleâs Magazine intentionally manipulated the story to make it juicier for readers, implying that Axlâs agression was so severe that Erin ended up hospitalized. There was indeed a fight and Erin ended up hospitalized but NOT because of Axlâs aggression (although, according to Erin in Andy Mccoyâs book, their fight did get physical that day) but she ended up hospitalized because of the OD she had following the fight.That doesnât excuse Axlâs wrongdoings but I just hate mediaâs efforts to make him look worse than he is!
Regarding the OD itself, I believe Andy Mccoys and Angela Nicollettiâs version more than Stevenâs.
Addlerâs version seems to not be really accurate and it might just be that, because of his drug habits, heâs a bit confused about what happened. I just find that Mccoysâs version makes more sense.
On his book, Steven says that Erinâs OD happened AFTER he was fired from GNR. Andy Mccoy says that his firing actually only happened in the days following Erinâs OD. This makes more sense with the interview that Axl gave to MTV in 1990 when he talks about why Steven was fired.
Also, apparently Angela Nicolletti wasnât a drug user at all so itâd be weird she would have given heroin to Erin. Actually, Addlerâs doesnât even seem to remembers Angelaâs name correctly because on his book he calls her Laura.
The part that disturb me the most is why Erin was found with her pants down. I really hope that Steven didnât abuse her, although again, if he was indeed drugged up, anything could have happened.Â
Finally, I think that Axl does believe it was Stevenâs who did it (gave heroin to Erin) and it might explain why heâs so resistant to have any contact with Addler and to have him back in the band. We know that Axl is not the most forgiving person and it seems to be especially the case with people who messed up with Erin.
