As a counterpoint to the Band + Drug = Band Thread, I propose: What happens when the drugs run out. As in "Band B" sounds like a sober/clean version of "Band A"
To refresh your memory: Band + Drug = Band

Aerosmith - drugs/booze = Journey

Actually, Aerosmith - drugs/booze = Aerosmith. They're supposedly clean and sober 24-7 now.

Custos. *Ooooffff.* Well, I wouldn't say that. I can handle listening to Aerosmith for up to three songs in a row. If the DJ slaps a Journey song onto the airwaves, I stab the change station button so frantically that I bruise my fingertips.

Jeff Buckley sounded alot like his daddy, only really supercharged, without that "heroin mellow fog" that kinda hung onto Tim's stuff (which was also quite awesome, but not quite as supercharged-intense as his son's).

Oh, and that reminds me...

Tim Buckley - heroin = STILL ALIVE
Brad Nowell - heroin = STILL ALIVE
Shannon Hoon - heroin = STILL ALIVE
Layne Staley - heroin = STILL ALIVE

Anybody see a pattern forming here? If heroin was a person that I could track down and kill right now, I would do it. It's taken too many great musos' and too many of my friends' lives way too early. Sad and frustrating.

"
heroin kills
stay away from pills
if you use cocaine
wave goodbye to your brain
speed is a deed
that you really don't need
a valium or maybe two
just really wouldn't do

fun with music is the right way, so choose it.

You know, yeah, people die from heroin (and other drugs), but you know what, who the fuck cares? Do you think Brad Nowell would still be innovating the Em-C-B ska song dub in new ways, or that Blind Melon really needed to do another album at all, or that Alice In Chains would have come through and gave Creed/Days of the New/Staind/Godsmack another bunch of songs to copy and release as their own? I dunno, but personally I'm all for overindulgence of toxic substances by artists, because the bands that made it past that went on to disappoint me. Aerosmith sucked every since they sobered up, I mean, they used to be a pretty hard-rocking band, they cleaned up, and now they do highschool-prom slowdance music. Barf. The Moon was the main abuser in the Who, he croaked, and "Eminence Front" was the only decent song they managed to pull out after that. So personally, I say let the artists self-destruct, because we don't need a world full of dinosaurs like the Rolling Stones. Very few bands put out anything decent for more than 5 years.

Oh yeah, and Bootsy Colins - Acid = Just another one of James Brown's bassists.

Thanks, heroin.

I see what you're saying Helltime, but...

A) I'm just on this big anti-heroin trip lately since one of my close friends OD'd awhile back

B) I certainly DO think Blind Melon needed to do another album. In my humble opinion, they were fuckin' amazing.

And I like how y'all completely left Tim Buckley off, Colin. Classy.

three years pass...

Sublime kicks ass. You don't. The only good thing heroin has done yet is Cobain's death and Velvet Underground.
