Drugs & Music

Re: Drugs & Music

Everyone says that you got to do drugs to enjoy or create good music

If these are the only ways you can create or enjoy music, you are in the scene for the wrong reasons....I know many producers and I don't know any that get high to create a track....and whoever says you have to do drugs to listen to this type of music is an idiot

Re: Drugs & Music

Everything in moderation
though as you get older
day 2 and day 3 get a bit harder to deal with.
Might knock a tab once and a while
just to hit the ol sensors
but it's all about
the music.

Even an all-nighter with alcohol and dancing fucks me over the next day I'm even considering quiting alcohol!

Re: Drugs & Music

i've never used drugs when i've gone out. the music IS my drug. it sounds cliched, but nonetheless true.

Re: Drugs & Music

I love the way people differentiate between drugs and alchohol. Alchohol IS a drug, albeit legal, and I would suggest would be worse to the system than one illegal at least! But, as someone said, all things in moderation!!

Re: Drugs & Music

I have gone to events both ways, and I find that I enjoyed and remembered the night more when I was sober as opposed to fubared. There has been only a few times when the drugs complimented the music. And what has been stated already, moderation is the key.

alcohol (even small amounts) gives me a worst hangover than E :/

Re: Drugs & Music

I tend to get incredibly sleepy in clubs and drugs helps me stay awake. I can enjoy nights out without them easily enough tho.

true dat. i feel worse on day 2 with alcohol that i ever did with 'e'

plus, it's cheaper doing 'e'

$20 for one pill that will last you about 4 hours or $11 for a shot of vodka, and i'm talking about the cheap vodka, plus you gotta tip the bartender, so about $13 per drink.

since i quit doing 'e', going out and getting drunk, spending $100 bucks on drinks sucks ass.

now, i'm not sure if this is okay to say this but i've been able to drive home every single time i've done 'e' with no problems unlike with drinking, shit, i need a designated driver after 3 drinks!

just wondering if anyone else experienced that driving home after a club is easier with 'e' than alcohol?

MAN!!!! Those pink Mitsubishi's on the left were the shit back in the day. MMMM MMMM MMMM BITCH!!! Those Mercedes were alright too, but damn those Mitsubishi's would leave you laying in the floor gasping for breath and unable to do anything but laugh for about an hour after they hit ya.

Oh, yeah. I don't have to do drugs to enjoy music. I don't really do drugs any more, but I don't do any less either!! I don't have to do drugs to enjoy anything, but on the flip side of that, I do enjoy pretty much everything when I am on them.

Re: Drugs & Music

Hmmm, I don't think it's a good idea to drive after anything!! Just for the record my most amazing night ever was while I was NOT under the influence of anything!! I don't think it enhances the music so much as makes you less self conscious and able to appreciate more. Bad music always sounds bad.!!

How the heck could a producer use music software/hardware and create all the FX and sequence properly when they're off their face. To make music requires some sort of control and discipline. I've spoken to many professional musicians re: drugs and performing music and their opinions are uniform and unequivocal: On the drugs you have sloppier timing, make more mistakes and what's worse because you're so totally disinhibited you don't give a shit about the mistakes, consequently you never get invited back to the same venue again.

Re: Drugs & Music

Drugs helped me discover this music. Now, I'm old and don't do drugs, but just enjoy the music. So you don't need the drugs, but they sure make it more fun.

Re: Drugs & Music

Got into music before I discovered drugs in my 20s, and I'll be the first to admit that the drugs enhanced and intensified my perception and feel for the music, though it was working with what's already there. Good thing I started out with Hooj, Renaissance, NE, etc; and not Tiesto

But no more of anything for me, the high just isn't worth the down anymore.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

That was the same boat I was in and now I just love the music straight sober, my body can't handle it anymore.
