would music have been so good without drugs?

Nope,


"The rock stars today who don't do drugs and who in fact speak out against drugs ? 'We're rock against drugs!' ... Boy, they suck."

"You 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 favour. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years ... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal farking high on drugs. The Beatles were so ****** high they let Ringo sing a few songs."

if it wasnt for ecstasy

goldie (drum n bass dj) would of never of invented jungle/drum n bass genre of music

lot of DJ's round that time, dj'd high on drugs like LSD, ecstasy, speed etc etc....made for some interesting stuff.
 
Think of all the artists who have died, bands that have broken up or washed out because of drugs.

I think it evens out.

Who says they wouldn't have turned out like Metallica, though?
 
In those groups, I think they wrote their best stuff before the drugs came in. Then they started in with heroin, and went down hill. Zep is a good example of that...after Led Zep IV, they started going down hill. Physical Graphitti was a great album, but most of the material on it was recorded in the early 70's. Lots of examples of this- people always think the drugs wrote the music, but that's not the case. The bands wrote the music, got too hyped up in their success, and THEN then drugs came in.

They were all alcoholics, and post rehab (for Hetfield at least) they suck. Hammet refuses to do any new solos. Yeah, he stopped drinking too. Not sure what you meant by your comment, but Metallica's music was good almost entirely because of alcohol.

My opinion is that they write good music on pot, weird but sometimes good music on LSD, and yeah, it goes downhill from there. Alcohol is certainly NOT a good drug for musicians.

I don't use drugs myself, but they really do seem to help artists (music and other forms) do better at their trade.

Alcohol doesn't help? See my Metallica example above.

I dunno, I think they need (and used) real drugs too. Maybe alcohol by itself works for country music, but...

lol, hasn't worked too well for country from what I've heard...
 
Several Bands would definitly not be as successfull as they were if not for drugs......For example Pink Floyd, and The Beatles.....Thier music just wouldnt be as good if they weren't on drugs....I love music that was written while they were on Lsd.... Its extremely unique and i think its amazing....Thats just my opinion though and i dont think the same thoughts for different drugs such as heroin as stated above by several of you
😛
Peace
