who would win in a coke-off: bowie, iggy, lou or Prince?

Oh, c'mon, man...mid '70s Bowie indulged more than the rest of them combined!

prince doesnt do drugs. apparently.

Sadly I can't say "Bowie by a nose" because, yeah, he's miles ahead. But: who's done more smack, Iggy or Lou?

Lou has definately done the most speed.
Iggy was more of an all-rounder "I'll do any shit that's going" kind of guy. He did Ecstacy and crack before they were even named. There's a live version of "High on You" where he says something like "I couldn't get high on drugs any more, my mind was blown". Although probably he experimented with drugs less than Jim Morrison, who is always thought of as a boozer.
I don't think that Prince even drank alcohol, even before he became a JW.

no the crystal method would win for doing the most speed

Well I meant Lou out of the four poll options, but yeah there must be loads of artists who've done more drugs than any of those four. Dave Gahan must have done more heroin and coke than anyone, or at least anyone who didn't die of an OD. Snoop Dogg has probably smoked more weed than anybody.

oh word

Iggy, Bowie or Nomi?

(that's from an episode of http://www.adultswim.com/shows/venturebros/ , apparently. )

Yeah, when that came on at this gathering I was at, most everyone was mystified why Iggy & Bowie were fighting.

"Because only Iggy Pop could defeat David Bowie?"

The theater geeks flipped out. "Uhhhhh, why does Iggy Pop defeat David Bowie? No. He does not. He does not have awesome costumes and makeup and" ohmygodwhyamIatthispartykillme

a coke-off is obv a one nite competition style event and iggy would win cause hes the most physically strong and intense dude

> Snoop Dogg has probably smoked more weed than anybody.

Snoop Dogg, (born Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr. October 20, 1971)

Willie Nelson (born Willie Hugh Nelson, April 30, 1933)

That's nearly 40 years head start. When I say Willie Nelson has smoked more weed that Snoop Dogg, I'm not talking about how much weed Snoop has smoked, I'm talking about Snoop Dogg's weight in weed.

nice

And that's not even talking into account other such legends as Lee Perry or Sonny Rollins.

More I think about it, actually, Lee Perry might be the alltime winner.

method man must also rate re: weed consumption.

also, which one of the listed stars would have been most likely to turn into a crackhead had crack been available when they were in their primes?

(which eliminates prince, since crack came out when he was in his prime.)

I think X_Xness was Scratch's natural state of being.

I just looked him up on wiki and was astonished to find it reported that he had given up the leaf at some (inexact) recent date.

!!!

^ they're probably high a lot too. only way those 10 minute disco-noodle-jams are interesting.

Here's the article about him giving up herb. It doesn't appear to have affected his, er - eccentric views one bit.

I'm reading Brian Wilson's autobiography and, despite being a big fan, I had no idea as to the extent of drug-addiction he went through, particularly at his lowest point in the early 80s. 4grams of coke in one go? Well messed up!

John Entwhistle was a regular coke user for most of his life.

I'd like to nominate Sly Stone and the violin case of blow that he used to travel with.

how about Brian Wilson?

Melle Mel would sniff all this white lines.

lol, replace "sniff" with "snort"

Some evidence to consider for the poll:
