This song reminds me of this song and why

The trifecta of ~ drugs'll kill ya.

That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Life in the Fast Lane - the Eagles {I can't find a full version of this song, unfortunately}

Rockin' in the Free World - Neil Young


And a couple for the aftermath.

True Sadness - the Avett Brothers

Rehab - Amy Winehouse

Listening to the Bosporus Bridges 2 compilation for the first time (Turkish Funk and Jazz mostly from the 70s)

And this came up: Yali Yali bu Neşe Karaböcek


And all I can think is it must have been easy to blatantly lift riffs from christian rock operas when you live in a muslim country before the internet:

Heaven on their minds (from Jesus Christ Superstar) - Australian Cast version
