Musician Smokers?

[aparadis]

Anyone here a musician? What do you play and what influences your writing?

I play drums. And progressive metal, classic rock, 80's speed metal, and weed all make me what I am today.

I play bass and vocals for my band. We play progressive/melodic/death metal. Check out our MySpace if you want - www.myspace.com/asphyxiametal

We haven't got any audio up yet but it'll come soon.

I find that weed often inspires me to write quite good lyrics and music, and a cone before playing is always good for loosening up the vocal chords...

Drums, hell yea.
Actually, drumming's about the only thing I don't suck at.

When first started, I played a bit of Jazz (school jazz band) and got a good base from that. I also listened to a lot of Dream Theater and Symphony X back then, so those are some big influences.
Then I got in a metal band, and started listening to more metal starting with Lamb of God. I don't listen to them much now, but their drummer's style has definately influenced me.
I moved on to heavier and some more melodic stuff then. I got really heavily into Dimmu Borgir and Old Man's Child. And now I've got a pretty big list of awesome bands, mostly black/death/melodic/speed/progressive metal (not all together, those are just the styles I like especially).

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Bloodbath, Between The Buried And Me, Necrophagist, Thurisaz, and The Project Hate. \m/


I've only played drums after smoking once, and I was coming down at the time so it's wasn't too great really.
Then again, most of the time I smoke it's late, and I can't play the drums past 8:00 pm.

I am a drummer predominantly, though I do play a fair share of jazz piano. Lately I've been trying to start a kind of classic rock/funk band with some friends at college, and I think I am finally starting to ease away from the straight swing scene. I still do love jamming though. It's really cool how when you're jamming with some talented musicians, you can just switch styles, keys, moods and still get everything to make sense for 20 or 30 minutes.

Musicians and drugs? Well, I never!

Actually, I do all the time. Fresh bag + emtpy house + drums = solo jamming. Nothin' like it.

Although, now I'm living with my guitarist brother and we's gonna learn some stuff together. I'm thinking some Dire Straits and Grateful Dead.
