And yeah, Lemmy was "using hte wrong type of drugs". Tee hee.

Yeah, compare one of the songs Lemmy wrote or mostly wrote, like, say, Motorhead, to, for example, 'The Golden Void'. The main reason he got kicked out was the level of his addiction, however. He was high almost all the time, and the catalyst was getting busted by the cops when they were on tour in Canada.

I can't believe nobody quoted Bill Hicks...


--- Quote ---See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs, man.

Thank you, Bill.

For me, it doesn't really matter about the amount of drugs the artists take.

Some of the bands I adore, are anti-drugs, others are pro-drugs. All fine by me, just let me do the amount that I want of what I want when I want it.
I don't base my opinion on the those of musicians, no matter how much I admire and respect them.

Besides, I really shouldn't say this but I know this guy who is a pretty decent guitar player. I mean, he can play, he's not exactly a master but he can play a decent riff or two.
But I've witnessed this guy on XTC... It was a real surprise. First of all, normally he's pretty shy and silent, especially when there is a human adult femine specimen nearby. On E he is very confident, very charming and funny as hell.
Second his guitarskills... I swear to God, he took his acoustic guitar and he just started playing, out of the blue. It was as if the late Johnny Cash dropped a drop of sperm somewhere in a fertile Belgian uterus 25 years ago. I mean, he played with so much soul, his chord progressions were not original but it was just so amazing. Anyways he played for more then 1/2 hour and then he just glared at his guitar and he said "where the fuck did that tune come from?"
So, yeah, drugs can influence your playing. I've seen it.

Martin during the one concert of Skyclad I saw: "Vote green ladies and gentleman. If any of you have some weed to share, see me after the show."

This being in Holland and all I'm sure he got what he wanted.

MilkmanDan:
All Dub.
You can't begin to comprehend how high Lee Scratch Perry was when he was at Black Ark. And before Black Ark. And after.
