"GW: Randy wouldn’t take a drink in the studio?

NORMAN: No. Or maybe only after the session. One of his fingers had a very long fingernail, and maybe he’d have a tiny bit of cocaine on there, maybe at the end of the week. He was a very straight guy. He was into playing. He was a pretty boring kid, really. Pretty squeaky clean. I saw him do coke maybe three times that I can think of. In those days, that was like being a Christian. Everybody else was crazy. So Randy was a pretty good kid. He loved going to his classical guitar lessons, too. I think that’s where he got some of those chord changes. He wasn’t a bad boy at all."

That's the only thing I've ever seen or heard to suggest Randy did coke but then Max also said that Ozzy paid for the album which was complete bollocks. I'm surprised that Max noticed anything at Ridge Farm except for Lesley to be honest.

Kelly Garni - Interview with Classic Rock

Inevitably, given the times, there were also experiments with drugs. “Anything mind-altering, we were very afraid of,” explains Garni. “We smoked weed quite a few times but decided it really wasn’t for us. We did do some cocaine. Everybody was throwing it in our face. We saw it as a very harmless drug, as something that allowed you to be able to stay up all night and drink and have fun. That’s all itwas to us. We didn’t consider it getting high – at all.”

Maybe he'd got bored of it all by the time he came to England and maybe not... Who gives a fuck? Am I shocked or disappointed because Max and Kelly say that they saw Randy do coke? Not at all, it doesn't change my opinion of Randy as a person or as a player. I stated that I'd never heard anyone mention him doing coke and that's all.

It's regret, i think that really is the worst kind of pain, yeah guilt is bad, and sadness is bad, but regret is the sickly combination of both.
