some of the other 'music genre' posts got me thinking about drugs and music, and how the two combine. We all know that most of the best music out there was written by folks who where high on something or the other. But what about music which requires you to be high to truly appreciate it?. For instance hard house or DnB generally sounds alot better if your speeding or E'ing, while not much beats smoking a J while listening to some 'stoner' rock or acoustic prog stuff. Ideally, sitting out on the verandah on a stormy afternoon. Then, of course, I'm betting that the guys from Katatonia or even Tool where at least partial to heroins effects while writing their stuff. I mean, that's at least where the sounds derived from. What is it about drugs and music that just seem to fit together? But thats not to say that all drugs go with all music. In my younger years, I went to a Slipknot concert while on E, and it was probably the worst concert experience of my life... and it wasn't because Slipknot suck or whatever...it was cause the mood generated by both influences ie Slipknot and E, are completely different. Ahh..the ignorance of my youth.
Anyone got any good/bad music and drug experiences?
