Just finished reading the whole book in one sitting, took about 3 hours, maybe over that a bit. Really good book, constantly interesting. Lots and lots of drug stories including some funny Scott/Navarro ones, a story about Scott going to Dave Navarro's house saying there were ghosts in his house and after hours of arguing convincing him there were, another where Scott was trying to convince Dave that he wasn't trouble or something and told him he'd go outside and write him a long letter, and he literally wrote one sentence and then nodded off. Dave has framed the note in his house.
Mary also wanted STP to get back together and always knew it would happen, and called Dean with the hope that he and Scott would talk about reuniting. Thank you Mary! She also punched Scott in the face once when he was being a dick and wouldn't leave this house where he was getting fucked up in 2001 or 2002, he kept resisting when she tried to drag him so she punched him and Scott went down and hit a sprinkler and she dragged him into the car. Mary also punched Scott in 98 when he wouldn't share drugs.
Also the true story behind the late 2001 domestic abuse thing was Scott wanted to go get some vicodin to get fucked up and Mary was literally begging him not go, it was Noah's 1st birthday keep in mind, and Scott picked up Mary and moved her out of the way and Mary literally grabbed on Scott's leg begging him not go and was on the ground pleading but he left anyways, so she called 911 for Scott's own good to try to save him from himself. Mary does admit she went nuts in 2007 but she doesn't blame Scott.
Scott relapsed on coke sometime in Fall 2007 when he was driving home from his studio. He saw a drug deal going down across the street and he went over and bought coke from the guy and sniffed it in his car, Scott then drove home high on cocaine. He confessed to Mary he did it but promised it was a one time thing. Scott kept doing it though and Mary decided if shit didn't get better she'd leave Scott after his 40th birthday. They did the birthday party and Mary says Scott took breaks from the party to go to his limo and do coke. Mary tried to pretend they were happy so it wouldn't ruin the party, and when they were leaving in the limo Mary asked Scott if he had a good time and Scott said, "Why are you so fake?" Mary also denies cheating on Scott and said just because she got birth control and he took a few conversations out of context he got paranoid and he hired a private investigator to follow Mary around at all time. Also she said Happy in Galoshes is mean to her. She also said The DeLeos and Eric are great guys and have never gotten big egos or anything, she said Dean and Rob's back and fourth has always been hilarious.
There's a lot more in this book too, and it's not a Scott hatchet job. Mary admits when she fucked up too. There are some wild Scott/Mary stories in this book that are so crazy they made me almost sadistically laugh at how nuts some situations were. Scott has definitely gotten himself into some strange situations in his lifetime, it's a miracle we still have him alive here today, thank God for that. Definitely buy this book, it's awesome. This makes me look even more forward to Scott's own book too, I hope he's really honest about everything and doesn't try to do a Slash spin job.
Also Noah and Lucy want to be rock stars, so maybe someday the kids of the STP members will form a band! Duke (Rob's kid) on guitar, Lucy on bass, Noah on vocals, and Kret'z son on drums!
