Drugs affecting performance

[dirty_sandwich666]

I was on the anus.com messageboards and some guy stated that the reason the mighty Lord Worm left Cryptopsy years ago was because of a crack addiction.
This is the first i have ever heard of this, but he said to ask around so thats what im doing. Can anyone validate this statement?

On a side note, what are some other examples of metal musicians hurting their career with drug abuse? Phil from pantera is a good example (but it probably made him more popular lol )



Oh, BTW, i'm not against drug USE

 

[chemicalburn]

Well its not metal, but its funny. The horrible band Creed was sued by its fans because the lead singer was so drunk he couldn't perform. Hahahaha what a weiner.

 

[Demiurge]

Of course it made him more popular. Cookie cutter rebels bestow heroism upon those who abuse drugs and drink. Little do they realize that this only reinforces the mentality of the herd...

 

[dirty_sandwich666]

HAHAH that creed shit is funny. some 'fans' huh?

i dunno, but listen to Cephalic Carnage's "Lucid Interval".... the ton of pot they obviously do didn't affect their instrumental prowess one bit....

Something must've had a negative impact on the songwriting though...

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

eh.... a couple i guess could have had a real boost in the songwriting department, but its more than made up for by tracks such as "Pseudo", "Black Metal Sabbath", "Lucid Interval", etc...

 

[dirty_sandwich666]

Yes, the title track is awesome.

i dont see how weed could fuck anyone over, but being addicted to it would suck choads.

No-one has heard anything about the Lord Worm thing? i think it's bullshit.

Its true. It happened in Chicago. I work qwith two guys who went to the show. Scott was so fucked up he passed out while singing like the 5th song. So they finished the song and took him backstage and Tremonti came out and apologized and did some soloing and shit til Scott woke up. He came out a bit later with no shirt on and puke on his pants. then some of the songs were sang so bad that they turned down Scotts mic and Mark sang the songs.

Ha ha ha what a moron. This reminds of that interview where the former bassist says that Eddie Vedder must be jealous of musical creativity which Scott possesses ha ha.

hmm......drugs affecting metal production.........hmm, tough one, obviously pantera but it didnt affect them at all, its just brought about the physical, and most likely, psychological demise of phil anselmo. In all honesty, seems like drugs help out a lot of metal, cephalic carnage is an example, megadeth (with gar samuelson and mustaine dunno bout the others) pumped out great metal on smack and w/e else they were on, metallica with w/e they did, gwar still made great metal (imo) on weed it hink is all they did, thats all ic an think of, im defintly against drugs but the way i figure it is like this, some of my freinds get into some rough shit and it ell them once that it goes down a road of ruin and then from there on i let them do w/e they want i aint there moms and i aint gonna act like it.

I'm confused, what band are you talking about here?

 

[\m/]

2 words Dave Mustaine! Get back on the Heroin so you could start writing some good shit again!

 

[Raumien]

Oh come on, a simple search at allmusic.com witht he names he listed could of answered that one.

He's talking about the whole creed thing.

Jared Anderson. The bassist from Hate Eternal, Internecine and formerly of Morbid Angel. All I know is that he has a bad enough problem with drugs to quit Hate Eternal, I expect its something like cocaine or heroin.

 

[diabolical vengeance]

Although they're not metal, I found the music Aerosmith wrote in the 70s when they were heavily into drugs much more interesting than anything they've done sober.

As for metal bands: Check out Esoteric, Sleep and Electric Wizard. Though heavily into drugs, I find their music very satisfying.

Yeah, I read about that. Hate Eternal has a new CD coming out in early 2004. Is Jared still on that CD? I'll definitely be buying it.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Then there are the bands that have written awesome music while not wasted.

U2, The Cult, Sepultura, Fear Factory, Earth Crisis, etc.

 

[SLAYER85]

i know sepultura was not on drugs, as a matter of fact, now like with max i think he is straight edge in soulfly, see xxx carved all over his guitar.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I thought the straight-edge symbol was sXe?
