Playing Guitar On Opiates..

and even those who do get in to heroin, alot of them dont regret it.
joe perry, steven tyler, jimmy page, slash, just to name a few
and every single on was greatly influenced by the drugs and addiction,
hell keith richards is still strung out and he always will be
I feel sorry that it didn't work for you, at least u got away when you could
but for some, the risk is worth the reward,
I fully know what will happen if and when I become a full fledged addict,
yet I still choose to take that risk every time I dose up

 

i was gonna say kurt cobain, but im not sure if the dope always effected him in a positive way. although i do think that it did have some effect on his music. especially on his incesticide album.

 

I have to agree with artoftragedy. It slips by all kinds of people, WE'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN. Jerry is gone from withdrawals. Look at this video clip from Coventry, which for those that don't know was supposed to be Phish's "last" shows. Skip to around :48-:54 seconds and 2:40 and see for yourself why you should not be using opiates to boost creativity.

Thank god Trey is off the opiates, Phish sounded dope at Hampton!!

 

Not sure if you skipped him on purpose or not, but what about Kurt?
EDIT: Sorry, I just saw what Snooze wrote.

 

yes he is one of the not as positive,
he also used as a pain killer for a disease he had

 

yeah, he had scoliosis and also stomach ulcers
