I'm glad you enjoyed it, but if you are high 24/7, then you were too high to realize how much they fucking sucked. Go pick up "Live: 101 Proof" and hear just how rotten they became. They went from being a machine to a onstage party, and it was the fans that suffered for it.

and noodles, it probably never worked out for you getting messed up because its not a regular thing for you.

No, it doesn't "work" for me because I play more technical music, and I care about my fans. I can have a bad night sober. I don't need to help the situation. There is a word for people who say they are messed up so much that they can function fine while messed up: addicts. People who kick the habit go on to speak of how they feel clear headed for the first time in years. What is often mistaken for being able to function under the influence, is someone getting used to the feeling and the handicap, to the point that they don't even realize it anymore. I know, because I was in a band that was always high, all the fucking time, and when our weed connection dried up...suddenly we started putting on the best shows of our lives. We played so good that we tripled our fan base in three months as word of mouth spread. From that point on, it was sober at practice, sober on stage. Save the parting until afterwards.
I'm not trying to be a dick, but I've been there, done that. A whole lot of people have before me, and a whole lot of people will after me. It doesn't work, no matter what anyone thinks. Racks of scientific research show what substances do to your thought process, hand/eye coordination, reflexes, reaction times, etc. You are better sober, but an addict will have an adjustment period, learning how to function sober again. We're not born fucked up, you know?
