Theory is useful for songwriting. Especially when you want to stand out, becuase you work out what chords are in what keys, and then you can start going non-diatonic, and that's where it gets interesting.

sean:
If you are in a band go okay guys we are going to make noise in this key now and do that if you do not have stuff written.

I mean it seems to work for my band. But we play post-rock (as of right now, other types of noises may be getting thrown in)

audiostudent:
When I write music (which, admittedly, I don't do often), I try to think about the different aspects of the piece (tempo, rhythm, dynamics, instrumentation, form, etc.) individually, and consider the options each presents, and look for where I can be creative in each.  Melodies and riffs come to me while making those decisions.  I don't know if that makes sense or helps or whatever...

Johnny C:
Play the guitar every day, play it often and try to remember stuff you play when you're goofing off.
