any musicians here?

does anyone like to play while they're high? i play guitar and synth...i like to fuck around when i'm high, but i never get anywhere with it. my bandmates and i have tried to play high and we would take one idea and roll with it for forever...usually ends up with me and a few pedals on, turning the knobs and getting hellish noise out of my rig...cool, but i'm betting only potheads could appreicate it

thats whats cool about smoking though...song writing should be done sober, but to go into the outer territories of sound and texture, a bit of bud can't hurt!

lol yeh, I just stare into space strumming random chords on my acoustic... it sounds amazing to me ( but im crap ). lol.

Also, playing harmonica is fucked up when ur high...

i smoke and jam all the time. that's one of my preferred activities. I play bass guitar.

yeah i know, playing music and smoking pot isnt exactly a new thing, but its always fun :D

Oh god yeah - check out the stomer musicians thread. Me, I play de bass

I'm always stoned and I'm always playing music so I'm always playing music blazed. I used to play in a rock band when I was younger, and everyone in it was all anti-drug and whatever, so I'd always smoke before hand so I woulden't get bitched at. Anyway, they found out I love my drugs, and kicked me out, and I guess since then they haven't been able to pull together a single song since I left or anything and they all quit playing and shit. Looks like not doing drugs ended up ruining their productivity.

Anyway, I'm primarily a jazz/blues musician, and when I'm stoned improvising comes way easier to me because it takes down all of the mental barriers and helps me not think so much.

yea guitar is my life

i always play guitar when im blazed. i play since 3 years. i wanna learn harmonica and djembe too. i love music so much

i love music....deep down no matter who you are you have it inside you so always remember that....i myself find it quiet kick ass to toke out and play and 6 string guitar or any drumset..... ! smoke and ROCK OUT all !!! PEACE

I play guitar. Its better to listen and write music while high, but I suck at playing it while high.

i love playing guitar while high

I love and enjoy it a lot also, but I've listened to myself afterwards... not pretty.

I'm a drummer, DJ, and starting off as a producer. weed definately helps :)

yea i love to play my tipe of music high. (i play quitar), all my band mates smoke so we always jam high and it turns out pretty good..
Does anyone like Leftover Crack, morning glory or chocking victim? just wondering cause thats the music we play

i play the guitar and find it hard to concentrate when high

You get used to it, I've been playing for about a year and a half, weed used to make me suck horribly, now it makes me better. Creativity is huge benefit.

piano...I can play two ragtime songs. I love to bust out chords and shit when I'm stoned.

hehe, im going to get an upright as soon as i move into my new house...my parents wouldnt let me have theirs, but thats ok coz it wasnt too nice anyway

yeah, i played piano for 10 years, been playing guitar for 4, music is in my blood...i play synth now, which is really cool, and i have a couple neat modules, but theres nothing like sitting down at a piano for hours of improv goodness...sigh

we had practice tonight at our new place and its sweet, the room acoustics work out really well without any sort of work done yet...:D

Music + Weed = Awsome. If you want to perform high though you have to practice high. The whole tempo of your brain is different and therefore tempos of the music are different. Not just timing issues, but the way the sound waves move hits you differently, and you need to learn again how to make things the way you want them. So with a little practice you can be as good while high as when your sober. Also many people find they are more creative while high, so there is that added benefit.


BTW brrg, I've heard of LoC and CV. I have one of LoC's albums, but I dont know what its called. I dig them about as much as any punk band.... which is to say I dont really dig punk, but if I had to go to a punk show, LoC would be the first on my list. Used to be into that shit alot more in high school. Some kids I knew did a LoC tribute album, and had Stergin (sp?) come in and do some vocals for it. The bands name was No Cash. If they aren't in jail yet, they are touring around the U.S. and Europe.

No cash is a pretty good band if ur into their type of music, Its relly cool u know them, theyre a good band, and not in jail ;)

Yeppers, I went to high school with them. They used to live a few miles away. All during high school I went to see their shows. Glad to hear they are doing well now. They put on a damn good show.

I love having trippy space jams with my bro whilst getting lean. You can check out all my tunes in my sig. We've had some pretty crazy sessions :D !

yeah i love comin home baked an playin

Man how nice is it when you get all your guys together and just jam with smoke coming out your fucking ears. That's the way to do it man, you think there's a fog machine... but there ain't!

hahaha...how bout a fog machine that burns pot? mmm...hey that WOULD be cool

When I'm high I can also ride a groove way better. I can play ahead and behind of it, or just sink right in to that pocket. It seems like when I'm high, I can physically manipulate music a lot better. It brings out a lot of hidden nuances in everything that I can react to and just takes everything to a whole different level.

hey dude, pretty cool stuff there, definitely fun sounding to do while high. im in the process of bringing my computer over to our practice space so we can do some niiiiice portishead style trip hop (our drummer is a girl with an amazing voice, should be awesome...and i love otherworldly sounds)

in fact, that project should be done and i'll post the track at once!

well im a guitarist...im really good (if i do say so myself, but id never admit it to an ACTUAL physical person)... i come up with some truly incredible shit when im smashed... ull hear it when im famous one day...lol

it seems that whenever i smoke it improves my creativity when i play guitar, Ive came up with my most ball crushing riffs ever while stoned lol.....gotta love it.

i can barely make a freaking noise on my trumpet when I'm stoned :p

That sounds sick man. Thanks for the compliments.

Portishead are a big influence for me, they're just so fucking good :) !

Gotta love the live version of 'Only You'!

i love my band, but i cant play shit when im stoned... i dont know how u guys can... i just cant move my fingers quick enough

Like somebody else said, you have to practice while you're high and it gets easier. Or you can just blow some yey on top of it if your fingers are really draggin

i play, girls.

I smoke n drum quite often.. fun, but I found it hard when I tried to play w/ others stoned

I play guitar.

i play guitar, bass, a little keyboard, hand drums, and i also sing alot. I play almost every genre on guitar and bass and my main thing that i play for people is folk where its just me and my acoustic. I have a friend whos a really funky bassist tho, and we've played a few places with different drummers. Mainly ska, funk, and jam band stuff in that band. I just like playing anything i enjoy listening too, and getting high has actually led to some pretty cool inspiration.

I was wondering for all the musicians that are in bands that are looking to tour out there from MD, DE, PA, NJ and NY.

My brother in a band which will play 2 shows in NY, one in NYC and one in Rochester on the 15th and 20th of June respectively. I was wondering of any of you can assist the band on getting gigs (like bars, small clubs, etc.) along the way and in return if your band ever decides to tour in DC, they'll gladly hook you up.......

i always get the urge to jam on my fender strat when I'm high, but I'm always so goofed I can never play the damn thing.
