Anybody know exactly why Peter Green went nuts? Was it drugs, fame, genetics? He looks so lively and aware on the videos that it is hard to picture him as what I've heard he became.

it was the drugs...lots of them

here is a lot of interesting info on him including" after a gig in Munich, Germany, Green went on a three day LSD fuelled binge. In his own words, he "went on a trip, and never came back". His use of LSD most likely led to his mental illness, schizophrenia.

He quit Fleetwood Mac in 1970, declaring money to be evil and giving it away to charity. He recorded an experimental and extremely uncommercial album The End Of The Game and faded into obscurity, taking on a succession of menial jobs.
