yes i agree with you, Herman was great, i had the occasion to see him live 4 times, and the last time he was really in bad bad shape, he also said in an interview that his biggest problem was, that his drugs (speed) did not do any effect on him anymore. Maybe Keith faces the same problem, i can imagine that he has to take more and more substances to reach his high.
