do drugs make you write better music?

>>74670173
NO. It just helps music be edgy.

Frank Zappa never did drugs

>>74670173
Maybe, but it is a fact that pot will activate the side of the brain that will make you more creative

>>74670339
inb4 anti Zappa replies

>>74670173
if any album was made while any of the writers were high, I would instantly stop listening to it. drugs make people think differently- I want to listen to shit that truly comes from the writer's mind.

>>74670339
I'm very anti Zappa

>>74670173
No. Drugs make you write more interesting music if you're already creative but if you're a talentless hack, drugs won't help you.

>>74670173
Maybe if you're talented anyway, but it can also fuck up your abilities to make music (see Barrett, Bolan, etc.)

>>74670403
Agree with this

>>74670173
Yes.
>>74670339
>Zappa never did drugs

This only proves my point more.

since it makes you think differently instead of being jaded and inside the box it could free someone but i don't think it inherently makes anyone better. i say if you're a creative person that's driven to make art you'll do it with or without drugs

Yeah, yeah, incessant shitposting is so much fun.

You guys are absolute children

>>74671115
This is correct

>>74670403
It still comes truly from the writers mind. Just used differently. It's like all the original data is there, the memories, but the way the data gets processed is changed up a bit. That can lead to very creative musical insights not normally accessible.
People have this false belief that their normal way of thinking is better than an altered way of thinking, but it's really just different. Not necessarily better or worse. Experiencing as much ways of thinking as possible is enlightening.

To answer the OP: I think it does. When I am on psychedelic drugs (hell, even weed) it feels like have root access to my brain. That I can see what's going on and decide to give more attention to certain aspects such as feeling in my hand, experiencing those aspects intensely. I can think more "meta". For music it allows me to process much larger parts of music at once.

>>74670347
depends what kinda pot you smoking there bud, may I know your name? no reason

>>74670173
Fuck no

>>74670339
which explains his music

>>74670173
Yes. Drugs make people creative, which makes their music creative.
