"Rock and Roll is dead!"

"The death of Rock is the death of me!"

Did Jim's death symbolize the sudden downfall of Rock?

Probably not, unless he could see into the future.

James Miller thinks so....

Well the late sixties and early seventies were by far the best and Jim died in 1971 and there was a decrease from then on but there were plenty of great albums released after that.

True but in general.

It started declining then but didn't really show until the mid 80s.

Music didn't decline, it just changed. Musicians started making music that you don't like, that doesn't mean that their music sucks. Although most 80's hair metal does suck.

He also did inhuman amounts of LSD :)

Anyone ever tried LSD (acid)?

Edit: I was going to try it this weekend but couldn't because I had no $.... :upset:

I've tried acid.

If you want me to go into detail about it...

Hair metal sucks because:

1) The entire genre was defined, both literally and nonliterally, by their look. The music was secondary to the Aquanet and spandex. That is a complete travesty to music.

2) 90% of rock music that was made in the 80's sounds exactly the same. It's all formulaic: write a song about how hard you rock, make sure to talk about how many women you bag each night and have a fast guitar solo in it. Then, write a sappy power ballad and go to #1.

3) Who the hell names their band Britny Fox?

Thought about it but if you go on a bad trip it lasts 12 hours and is supposed to be living hell. Have you

What was it like? fun?

[QUOTE=Jam2Me]I've tried acid.[/QUOTE]
How was it? :amaze:

I may do shrooms this weekend :D.

Voodoo has done LSD. Remember his stories he told us?

Its just like acid but like 8 hours...nobody sells that here in Houston.

Not really fun, just a crazy trip. Someone would be talking to me and they would fall face first intot he floor and lots of strange hallucinations like that. A highlight was when I laid down and felt like I was hovering throughout the house.

The trip lasts a long time...make sure you have a safe place to do it, and son't be paranoid!

I guess I could see how the trip could inspire to make music...I've only done it twice so I was kinda getting used to it, but if I did it often I could start writing lyrics or writing music lol.

Does anyone else remember Voodoo's stories? I'll tell them again if I have to.

Please do tell

Let me see if I can search for them first.

I want to do it so bad....:(

*kinda scared*

I did too but I guess you're likely to go on a bad trip if you have anxiety, and because I knew I would have anxiety about it I don't think I want to anymore
