Here we feature some rock stars whose great music was rivaled by their misbehavior.

Rock stars can become major influencers and even movers in various events, but not all are able to balance all the burdens that fame can bring upon their shoulders.

Courtney Love used to be the lead singer for the band 'Hole.' Their songs that grip tight to your neck are as consistent as the smoking habits of Courtney who smokes like one human chimney. If only she would be on control of her vices, then there is still great hope that she can be able to bring back those old days of glory.

Stevie Nicks fell down from the moon of success that her band Fleetwood Mac reached when she was warned by a plastic surgeon to take a halt on cocaine use. At one Australian tour that she was a part of, she checked herself into Betty Ford Center to help herself beat her addiction.

Karen Carpenter, the voice behind classic hits from the '70s, suffered and died from anorexia at the young age of 32. According to medical findings, her death was caused by a heart failure as a complication from her severe disease. Her voice would forever remain unique.

Janis Joplin was a member of the overcrowded '27 Club' with Amy Winehouse being the most recent recruit to die at that young age. All her unique eccentricity ended when she passed away in the 70's after bringing so much soul into the music world with her whiskey drowned voice.

Layne Staley was riding high for his grunge kind of music that led Alice in Chains to the authentic band scene. But when more and more bands started coming in, doing the same genre as they were doing, Staley lost his balance and ended up trying a speedball that caused his death - a mix of cocaine and heroin.

Check out some their pictures in the slideshow.
