TMZ on it now......said Tour Manager found his body on the tour bus.

I thought we had a Scott Weiland thread at one time, but I couldn't find it???

all of swas posts were deleted so it looks like im talking to myself

looking back on this thread i stand by everything i said 100%. in fact even more since now ive seen the fate of so many real life friends who chose getting fucked up over their art and ended up failing/getting kicked out of their bands etc.

in fact i am even more convinced that the relationship between drugs and music is one of the sickest myths produced by capitalism/peoples ignorance.

its pretty despicable to me that supposedly free culture is so determined to sell a myth about drugs that links them to creativity, pleasure and psychological exploration. since refusing to pursue your own enjoyment above all else (especially critical thought) is a cultural imperative so viciously enforced most people can't even recognize it, the next generation of junkies is gonna be even worse than mine. but having your body harvested through addiction for (other peoples profit) while narrating it as your own personal celebrity self quest is the name of the game and i'm practically a terrorist for speaking badly of it.

hardly surprised about weiland. check out his last years/howard stern interview in particular to see just how creative and happy you can get through accumulating brain damage through a career as a late capitalist dionysus impersonator

of course you're all individual subjects with a supernatural free will that will allow you to take exactly the right amount and stop before anything bad happens because the findings of neuroscience are less real than our 1st person experience of ourselves.

also i'd hazard a guess that i did more and harder drugs than all or nearly all the surviving posters from this thread*

I haven´t read this whole thread, so maybe this has already said. Anyway hard to imagine how 66-69 music would have sounded if the music makers hadn´t taken LSD. Then again I don´t say LSD increase creativity, I believe Beatles etc. would have made great records without LSD.

Along with swa, all of my posts were deleted too. I guess the world just wasn't ready for the craic

Anyone else ever see old n'ik-centric threads and think he was right way more than people at the time would admit? I used to think some of the things he said to me were bizarre but they actually make a lot more sense now. It took me actually having an up and down relationship with drugs and far left radicalisation to understand his perspective in this thread for example.



Also I only found this thread cause someone gave me rep for my "Drugs aren't my thing" post hahah.

IS THE STUPIDEST FUCKING IDEA EVER

but at least explains the type of music some of you are listening to in 09

its also the cause of so much needless suffering/self indulgent bill hicks narcissism

Ringo said the exact opposite of this. Everything The Beatles laid down when fucked up was useless/scrapped. 2009, 1969, 2019, whatever.
