Drug Free Music

[Sarah Cliff]

I'm conducting an experiment on myself to see if I can enjoy music made by sober musicians. This means no alcohol or prescription drugs or illegal drugs. Looking primarily for rock acts, but any genre, any time period is fine.

 

[Queen Kira]

Good luck.

Music and drugs are like sex and drugs. Its cool sober but when you're fucked up you can do it 10 times better.

Youtube Andy McKee.

 

[DJ Chocolate]

good luck with that.

 

[!$*BUNZ*$!]

The band gives an anti-drug message near the end of the video clip of their live performance of "I'm your captain (Closer to home)."

I guess you like setting yourself up for failure and disappointment

 

[Operation Mindcrime]

Try Metallica and Sublime... Neither of those banRAB ever drank or did drugs! haha

 

[kathleen O]

did a little research and couldn't find anything on their actual use. they seemed to emphasize hard drugs, alcohol and cannabis were not mentioned. do you know any more about them?

 

[xprincessx]

well, i've long known that Sublime is drug free - just look at the album art on Second Hand Smoke, but didn't Metallica recently fall into addiction? I've always thought that's why their recent work has sucked.

music without drugs would have been boring and not nearly as inventive as it could have been.

 

[Igor The Clown]

Not sure why you're doing this, are you trying to prove to yourself that drugs make music better?

Any imbecile who doesn't hump a bible on a daily basis knows that they do.

 

[Babyray]

In fact, all you need for this "experiment" is 2 albums...

1) Master of Puppets
2) Saint Anger

Listen to those 2 albums, and you tell me the effect of booze on music lol.

 

[Patoyo]

at first I was, but now i really just wish there was more information on the subject in general. id like to go into it as open minded as possible.

 

[Sammie M]

st. anger was full of fag and fail. i hated that shit and wished them all dead after hearing it.

 

[Mommy to 2 little angels]

Will Smith

 

[eurobeatlover]

No mention of Frank Zappa? He's quite the oxymoron--everyone thinks he did drugs based off his wild music. I never could get into it much, sober or not.

 

[D-Pat]

Before I look into that, which I'd love to do, since research is my profession, are you sure there isn't an agenda behind this "experiment"?

After all, I truly wish that I could have somehow had fun as a young man without drugs. I have more than 25 years now without using drugs.

 

[John Kimble]

That was great to learn that he wasn't very high on drugs; pardon the expression.

These are a few quick references to Zappa and drugs that I found.

This next writer seems to look like he knows what he's talking about. Looks like anyway, however that may be helpful.

BTW, I've posted a bunch of great Zappa songs in the OT Tunes thread called "Frankly Zappa."
