“I think GG either had schizophrenia or bipolar or some actual undiagnosed condition because Merle is actually really normal – you can have a real conversation with him, he’s very business-minded and concerned about money and the band getting paid and scheduling the tours. It was much better when GG was just kind of drunk, hanging out, watching movies at Merle’s house and really angry or laughing or something.” When we were just alone in the dorm room that stuff, you can feel he’s a little bit shy. “You can even see it in these interviews sometimes.
