How the fuck do these degenerate rockers drink so much and do so much drugs and still be able to play? If I have a few drinks I can barely even strum the strings
a combination of boastful hyperbole and drugs being significantly weaker back in the day
>>128218180yeah they didnt know how to make whiskey until ~2005. and heroin was definitely not originally created in the 19th century and refined as a Bayer pharmaceutical product at current strengths well before the first world war because its very easy to do, that just never happened
>>128218169Because they're godtier musicians anon
you can play under any circumstances when you have "it"
>>128218169I know for a fact that I'm a much better driver and a much better pool player when drunk. I think your one of those people who can't handle their drink.
>>128218180>drugs being significantly weaker back in the day
>>128218361weak bait
>>128218331Varies per drug imo. I can play stoned no problem, maybe even better sometimes. I can play on opiates but I cant be bothered. I can kind of play drunk but I’m very sloppy. I cant play for shit on coke, no focus and my timing goes out the window. ofc Im no pro but Id be willing to bet that given the wildly different effects of different drugs many people have similar experiences.
>>128218361>I know for a fact that I'm a much better driverI know a BPD asshole who thinks they are a better driver when high. They don't have a driving license.
>>128218383>>128218406It's true. Same with videogames I'm a fucking COD God after a couple of drinks. Alcohol is a stimulant, especially at the start of a session. You fags just aren't real drinkers.
>>128218383You actually care about drunk driving? Lamo what a pussy.
>>128218424Alcohol is a depressant
>>128218169They wait till after the concert for that stuff
dont forget that if youre a habitual user youre going to need some just for baseline functionality
>>128218510If you slowly sip on your drink like a pussy. Down a pint and you'll get a rush. How do you think people dance the night away after having 10+ drinks?
>>128218543You get a rush from shooting up heroin too. Doesn't mean it's not a depressant. People dancing drunk are hindered by intoxication rather than aided by it.
>>128218563You've never had a drink have you? Fuckin dork.
>>128218510>>128218543biologically, alcohol IS a depressant. but that doesn’t mean it makes you still and quiet etc, its a specific term with a specific neurological meaning. one of the psychological effects is reduced inhibition which can make people loud and active. there’s no contradiction there just misunderstanding of the term "depressant"
>>128218169they didn't do half as much what you think they did. especially Keith. and those who did used amphetamine to keep going. and they are all dead by now, i.e guys from Motorhead
>>128218577I just told you I know what shooting up heroin feels like. You're a bit dim aren't you.
>>128218612Yeah yeah yeah. You read about it in a book, your a bad liar you know that righ??
>>128218169>How the fuck do these degenerate rockers drink so much and do so much drugsThey don't, it's marketing. The ones that do die pretty quick.
>>128218169tolerance and familiarity with playing intoxicated from habitual use probablyalso i guess it can loose someone up, help them get in the flow and counteract the effects of stage fright
>>128218515this, these guys depend on each other to put on a show, it’s when someone turns up too fucked to play that things get serious
>>128218169I guess they’re used to it and what they’re playing isn’t so hard
>>128218169When you do something long enough you build a tolerance, and also most musicians work based off muscle memory and rote learning -- think about how easy it is to type by touch after 5-10 years vs just starting out.
>>128218169>>128218303>>128218331This. I don’t think people realize how much better in-practice good musicians are than them. It’s not even close.
>>128218180Idiot

>>128219228I started realizing it when I watched old shows of QOTSA where Homme is wasted off his mind and still plays perfectlyWe are definitely not of the same breed lmao
>>128218169Adrenochrome.
>>128219303This, not to mention bebop musicians of the late 40s/50s playing some of the most technically challenging music possible while out of their minds on heroin
Is it true that some guitarists have a guitarist plugged in off stage covering for them for when they're inebriated or is it a myth? As well as people used to say Slash had recorded solos faded in when he was too paralytic to get through a song live.
>>128218169They have quite a lot of time in between gigs to sober up. Then it sounds like a lot of the drug use is off tour in the studio e.g. Brian Jones snoring on Satanic majesty.
>>128218180This is true btw drugs are getting nastier than they were in 1975; weed especially is like being punched in the face nowadays when it didn't used to be that way. There also wasn't fentanyl back then.

>>128218180but it isn't "back in the day" anymore and presumably they are still drinking and doing drugs from present day
>>128218169they have better genetics
>>128218169Underage pussy
>>128218169They're not degenerates, you faggot.They're hard partying MUSICIANS.
>>128218169muscle memory
>>128218169have you heard his isolated guitar in recent concerts?
>>128220533They were total degenerates
>>128221008Keef stopped actually trying live in the early 2000s. He can still play well enough, just he's phoned it in at Stones gigs for over two decades, only for solo sets or duets with Willie Nelson or other buddies of his.
>>128218169The Rollings Stones have been clean and sober since the 70s. The members who weren't are now dead.
>>128219516Hearsay from a boomer guitar forum>Was the sound tech for Kiss for a gig in the aught's or '10s>Several tracks were on playback, they were just mimingMick Mars said the bassist was replaced by a track live cause he couldn't play for shit during their later yearsIt would be shockingly easy these days with midi and click tracks running the show. Easy to make rumors but hard to have them verified as the whistleblowers will probably be suffering from legal and illegal consequences from the big acts they call out on.
faggots in this thread have never partied or played live. it's funny how unfathomable someone playing fucked up is to some people. it's not even a big deal. what would be harder for a fiend is NOT playing fucked up.
>>128218180yup. I'm sure the mescaline Jerry gave to Carlos a few minutes before he was told he had to go on was super weak. probably didnt even feel it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaaT_HRb4GU
>>128222559>Mick Mars said the bassist was replaced by a track live cause he couldn't play for shit during their later yearsHow hard can it be to play Motley Crue bass? it's just 0-0-0-0-0-0.
>>128222559at least Chuck Berry at the end never tried to fake that he was a dying 80 year old man
>>128223260>it's just 0-0-0-0-0-0.You need tonhave good timing for that
>>128223260all hair metal bass was just hammering the root note, none of those guys actually played bass
>>128223433>all hair metal bass was just hammering the root notelmao
>>128218180What? Dope was weaker than reddit certified nu-dope, sure but hash heroin pills and blow certainly were not...I'm done with ignorant zoomers...
>>128218169rock music is extremely easy to play
Once you have the muscle memory down and play off feeling, you can do anything. This is something anyone can achieve if you just play
More than a gooning
>>128223747>Dope was weaker than reddit certified nu-dopeyeah why is it that weed is so dangerously potent now? it's like taking LSD. didn't used to be that way.
>>128218169Stronger constitutions. They grew up on water that wasn't full of microplastics, real food that wasn't full of HFCS and basedbean oil.
>>128221008He's like 90. He's lot better now though, a few years ago he barely knew what songs they were playing. Some funny videos where he plays Brown Sugar and the rest are on Jumpin Jack Flash
as others said Keith hasn't actually tried with the Stones since the early 00s and saves all his good playing for other venues. the Stones have been nothing but an ATM for him for decades.
>>128218169Keef was always all talk
Keef smoked for almost his entire life before quitting a couple of years ago. He's done incredibly well to be as fit as he is at his age after that alone. Mick Jagger is in his 80s and he spends every concert running around on stage too.
