[QUOTE=Schyma]Why is my avatar all fu[I]c[/I]ked up?[/QUOTE]

It was due to a problem that happened a little while ago. In the Pit there is a thread that states how to fix it. It should be stickied :).

Huh all I did was get an old one. But I could've just got me old one back because I have it saved.

Just don't jump out of any high buildings thinking you can fly.

You don't need drugs for music to sound good. Just lettin everybody know.

I ain't the anglos who are dropping acid and using shrooms...man, the only black guys who dropped acid were Hendrix and P-Funk.

It can help though, lyrically and musically. John Lennon wrote many drug related songs which were related to his use of marijuana and LSD. He was stoned once and went into the studio. He wound the tape the wrong way which led to him recording songs backwards and then putting the tape on backwards and publishing some material using this technique.

hmm yer^ but u cant make music while your stoned, i've heard and watched countless famous Rock Stars on tely say:

"i went into the studio once, after taking half a cup of acid, and recording some songs and thinking "Your fu*king Jimmi Hendrix!!!" but then i came back the next day and its absolute sh*t!"

but one really fuc*ing great thing i heard was from Noel Gallagher of Oasis After talking about wriitting lyrics when your stoned, and recording music when your stoned he said:
"But you know, in the end you've got to be true to yourself, and your fans"

George Clinton did a lot, and everyone should be trying to be more like George Clinton.

And Arthur Lee...?

I think drugs can inspire you to write music (good and bad), but an artist can't rely on dropping acid or smoking pounds of marijuana just to write good music. I think being stoned just makes you think of a cool idea or perspective to write a song, it's still up to you and your skills to actually write and perform it though. I've written more good songs sober than high, but usually when I'm high I think of really good ways to improve songs I've already written.

Good luck with your acid Schyma, be careful too.

So you know how I bought that friend of mine that Beatles sheet music book? Well she said she started learning Eleanor Rigby and it sounds pretty good. I'm excited now. I wish I could play keys good.

The problem with playing stoned is that you could play a power chord, and just stand there admiring it and letting it ring out. You'll be thinking "This is amazing.". But, in the end... it's just a chord. :lol:

Exactly, that's why you still need skill. I don't even play guitar when I'm stoned anymore, it's sort of a waste of time because I can't concentrate. I just think of good ideas for songs, then when I'm sober I go and play them.

Can someone explain to me what The Weight is about? My friend heard it, and asked me what it was about and I couldn't answer him. Anyone know?

Is it a movie? A song?

It's a song, by The Band.

I can only remember one line from that song, and it just sounds like he's tired and wants to go to sleep. Of course there's more to it, but uh...I dunno what.

I didn't know it had some powerful meaning.

I pulled into Nazareth
Was feelin' bout half-past dead
I just needed some place
Where I could rest my head
"Hey mister could you tell me
where a man might find a bed?"
The man just shook my hand
"No" was all he said

First verse right there
