Sonic youth and drugs
 

Hmm i think its fairly obvious that they've experemented with hallucenegenics (sp?) and other sorts of shit. Seeing that hammered pic of Lee kinda confirms it....Does the word ciccone have anythin to do with cocane or?? Lisening to master dik...i get the impression that theyre Fawkd over........right?

So i guess my question is.....have sonic youth experemented with drugs? I can kinda guess what the answer will be...

Ciccone is Madonna's last name.

if i remember correctly, it was mentioned in their biography book Confusion Is Next, that thurston tried halluciogenics only once. someone on the board mentioned it that lee really was into halluciogenics before joining sonic youth :)

surley they smoke weed and drink occasionaly but i dont think theyre abusers. on the coporate ghost dvd mike is watt talking about sonic youth, and i think he says somthing like this "the sonics were never big drug users. you never really saw them trashed" im probably misquoting mr. watt a great deal. but he said somthing along those lines..

i heard weird stories about shooting mayonnaise, but i think i believe mr. watt more. i don't think they're really drug folks, though.

theres the story about kim on LSD at disney world with her boyfriend when she was 17, thats a good one, she said that that was the first and last time she did acid.

isn't their footage of them doing coke in an EVOL tour documentary? But they never hit any stuff hard...

I remember the scene in 1991 TYPB, where Kim hands Dave Grohl that huge ass splif. That's my favorite part in the whole movie.

drugs are bad, mmmkay?

i haven't seen any pictures of them hanging out with pete doherty, so i'm guessing the drug use isn't too heavy, if at all anymore.

yeah i saw that in the Year Punk broke and heard the coke Evol story, but after that i dont think they are that much into drugs

I agree w/ fishmonkey. & I'm sure they're done w/ the coke scene by now.

i think they've dabbled... i've heard thurston still likes to smoke up now and again.. beyond that i'm sure they've mellowed out a hell of a lot... but then again, who really knows? for all we know they might by on heroin..

It was a ciggarette......sorry dude.

No way. Damn, it looked like she was holding her breathe in after she drew from that "cigarrette".

It seems like they aren't into heavy shit. I mean has anyone here ever been to a show where any of them seemed so out of it they could barely play? You can usually tell that certain bands are way too drunk or hyped up on god knows what at their shows. Maybe I haven't seen SY enough times (only twice alas) to notice.

if you don't find the answer you're looking for, i'm sure someone will answer your question next month when someone new starts this thread again.

do they like hash?

i have an audio bootleg in Lille, France 2002...
between 2 songs you can hear that someone threw hash to the stage, and thurston says: STEVE WILL SMOKE IT AFTER THE SHOW

that was funny :D

SHIT!

I got this bootleg (my uncle was at this concert :D), but it's a bad version and the passages between songs are cut :@
