Because he almost died from pancreatitis! RAWK Do double guitars serve any other purpose than to look awesome on stage? YES! Was the song "Slapped Actress" written to inspire Tony Parker? NO! Is he a Packer fan? YES! FUCK HIM! Has he ever trashed a hotel room? SEVERAL! What the fuck is the deal with Ybor City? NO ONE KNOWS! How do…
