oh shit, how come no ones said the butthole surfers yet? also, early flaming lips. helios creed/chrome (from wikipedia, "Helios has said that he invented his trademark sound while trying to replicate the sound he heard in his head while "listening to Black Sabbath on LSD on headphones when I was a teenager.""). pantera. cherubs.

well, no doubt about it, musicians like getting high.

Anything that Mark Lanegan has ever been involved with (except - possibly - the stuff with Isobel Campbell).

karou abe, one of my favorite free jazz artists and saxophonists ever, died from drug and alcohol abuse at a tragically early age, before japanese avant-jazz started to get recognition, so he applies.

sarramkrop 06.11.2008 08:04 AM

Ok, whatever. You know the score on this thread.

batreleaser 06.11.2008 08:05 AM

the meat puppets were into drugs right? anyways, their music is goot to get stoned and drive with.

Cantankerous 06.11.2008 08:07 AM

you can be in a band and do drugs and not be associated with drugs.
don't list every band that does drugs.

batreleaser 06.11.2008 08:09 AM

this thread rules

sarramkrop 06.11.2008 08:15 AM

Sly Stone's ''Runnin Away'' is one of the best songs about drugs and street life ever written.

i stand by this statement because pink floyd didn't do nearly the shit that people said. i think roger waters did acid like twice ever because the second time he ended up in the middle of 8th avenue traffic or something like that. but he did smoke weed all the time.

sarramkrop 06.11.2008 08:18 AM

To get away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
You're wearing out your shoes
Look at you foolin' you

Making blues of day and night
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!
You're stretching out your dues
Look at you fooling you

The shorter cut is quicker but
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Time is here to stay
Look at you fooling you

The deeper in debt
The harder you bet
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!
Need more room to play
Look at you fooling you

Another day
You're farther away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
A longer trip back home

blunderbuss 06.11.2008 08:21 AM

I'm taking the thread as being that the band's music is very very clearly influenced by the drugs that they take. Is that right, Mr Sarramkrop?

sarramkrop 06.11.2008 08:22 AM

You are very right.

blunderbuss 06.11.2008 08:23 AM

Thank you. Where's my prize?


Happy Mondays
Stone Roses
Charlatans
All the rest of those shitty baggy bands

PAULYBEE2656 06.11.2008 08:24 AM

erm, strange thead.. a list of favourite bands that take drugs... hmmm, let me see...

batreleaser 06.11.2008 08:26 AM

id still say pink floyd have an association with drugs despite how much acid roger waters did. i mean, theyre entire image was psychedelia based. 'live at pompei' is one of the coolest things to watch while tripping. i mean, i might be wrong but thats always been my conception of them.
