I don't know any in particular, but I think it would be funny if Good Charlotte were huge smack addicts or something of that nature.

Sonic Youth! Who'd a thunk, eh?

any band that isn't very popular

I don't want to fuck with the libel laws, but a friend once very straight-facedly insisted he'd caught S*r*h Cr*ckn*ll shooting up at the venue where he worked.

What about artists who are renowned for drugs, who talk about drugs, who make drugs *cool* and *legendary* to teenagers and impressionable people, that you doubt?

The Libertines!

― John Cei Douglas (John Cei Douglas), Thursday, 20 May 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

In that case, John, I'll out Bobby Gillespie as a big fat camomile-tea-drinking fake.

The jury's out on the Libertines until one of them has the cajones to die.

For that one, Joh, The Stone Roses. Their manager admitted lying about their intake to make them seem cooler.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 20 May 2004 21:55 (twenty-two years ago)

The oddest cases I can think of are Charlie Watts and Smokey Robinson, who both picked up drug habits (heroin and cocaine, respectively) late in their careers. (Both reportedly clean now.)

The Stones are all level 3 vegans now (except for Keith).

Eminem, the pussy

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Thursday, 20 May 2004 21:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm really interested in the state of drug-taking amongst indie-rock bands, actually. I have no clue; it's not a big interview topic these days.

x post

Yeah, Eminem even took pretend Es onstage. Milquetoast.

Alcohol, weed and the occasional pill for most indie-bands
Bring back PCP, I say

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Thursday, 20 May 2004 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Travis, Starsailor, Coldplay, Keane etc. The odd spliff maybe.

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Bring back PCP, I say

Yeah, what Keane need is for one of them to go on a sensational cop-killing, bitch-slapping, horse-fucking Angel Dust rampage.

Okay, what was the point of Evan Dando using drugs? I mean, if he did, that is, you couldn't really heer it.

― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd at least like to see a return to PCP for hip-hop....Wu-tang on PCP was brilliantly vicious, Wu-Tang off PCP is "Iron Flag"

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I was serious.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I know...hopefully Starsailor would be in the room doing lines off of Chris Martin's cock

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

"Lines off of Chris Martin's cock" = Best (Coldplay) Album Title Ever.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

i going to sleep soon, so when the bizarro spin-off thread is inevitably appears, someone post my answer as "4 hero". thanks in advance.

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I was rather surprised to hear that Chris Cornell had a smack problem prior to the Audioslave album. You'd think after all the Seattlites who'd had bit of heroin trouble, he'd have veered well clear of it.

Doesn't Chris Martin insist that he's drink/drug free? You must be talking about those three other guys, right?

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris Martin = drink/drug/entertainment free.

The Velvet Underground. Bohemian New Yorkers who hang out with Andy Warhol, doing drugs? Who'd have thunk it?

Don't talk ridiculous - why you'll be trying to tell me that Bob Marley inhaled next!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 21 May 2004 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

he did. they got too close to him.

― i hope somebody gets that (Oops), Friday, 21 May 2004 07:30 (twenty-two years ago)

but it was only right before he exhaled

― Buster (mokey), Friday, 21 May 2004 07:39 (twenty-two years ago)

seventeen years pass...

Are there still "drug bands", you know, like Grateful Dead, Happy Mondays, Kyuss, that kind of thing? I guess trap with its xanny and drank worship counts. But this feels like less of thing now where musicians actively define and boost themselves according to their intake

― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Sunday, 7 November 2021 23:11 (four years ago)

I mean you did mention xanny but I think this counts

I think one of the big takeaways from Mike Judge's Tales from the Tour Bus is that the country guys are perhaps even more drug crazed than their rock and funk/R&B compatriots. They are at least more often would throw the guns into the picture along with the drug madness.
