The greatest songwriters, artists, musicians and that...

[Strangelight]

...were they all influenced by drugs?
Look at Hendrix, Lennon, Townshend, Syd Barrett, Status Quo.. the list is endless. Are drugs the key to being good at it?

 

[Bambi]

the inclusion of quo would suggest that they arent the key

 

[Dora]

ok, strangelight, it's time to tell us what _you_ use!!

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

do you reckon tori amos takes drugs too?

 

[Morpheus]

yeah, it's all about drugs, otherwise turn your back on music buisness! So you lot here doin music, mehdi, Dunc, Mick, Danny, cedar, thoryir etc. just throw some pills and you'll be fine!!!


At least i don't wanna know who all took drugs regularly, and so influenced their music, because i guess in the end it would be close to my comment above, i'm afraid.

 

[Mariner]

hendrix? dead
Lennon? dead too
Barett? forgotten legend. and a sick fuck.
Dunno about Townshend though.

"See, I think drugs have done some *good* things for us, I really do.
And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a
favor: Go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all
your cd's and burn em'. Cause you know what? The musicians who've made
all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years...
RRRRRRRRRRRRReal fuckin high on drugs."

--Bill Hicks "another dead hero"--,

Ok, well, without talent you can't become a succesful musician, that's for sure. I think that drugs just help us a bit to write more interesting, complicated, weird songs. And then they destroy us...



Does anyone know why I cant post new threads?????????????? It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dora]

drugs can help to get closer to god.. some more drugs can help to be god itself

That's funny. I'm going to see the doc this afternoon. He's gonna give me pills for my back again I guess. Those sweet opium pills they always get me high, in a positive mood and allow me to sleep as soon as I go to bed.
Sleeping pills make me believe I'm creative and I can write lyrics but when I read them the day after it happens to be total crap

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

oh shit

 

[Mick Moss]

I dont think Roger Moore ever took drugs. Maybe a dry vodka martini and some deep heat

The secret is being high all the time. That way you forget any self-criticism and your sorted. And don't worry 'bout others. The world is full of potheads that think your crap lyrics are cool.
