Do you get trashed while playing?

alcohol, weed, coke, whatever it may be.

when i was drumming, i loved to get trashed, i swear it helped me play better, but now that im playing bass i find that if im too fucked up i get dizzy when headbanging LOL

yeah, those things will make you think that .



i sometimes have a beer or 2 before i go on stage... but getting trashed and playing and performing well, i can't do.

i like to save the partying 'til after the show.

start drinkin when it starts slowly, then just get a good feeling going, but not to the point when you can't play and disrespect your group. then afterwards party to you pants come off.

No beer till after the gig or rehearsal. No drugs at all.

Absolutely not, I'd rather not play like shit and make an ass out of myself on stage.

After the show? Absolutely!

What about at practice...its always a party for myself and friends towards the end of that. sometimes I come up with a new riff and nobody has a recorder. Then the next day, "Do you remember how that riff went?"....

"i'll come back, just hand me another beer".

Only after playing a show. Only time I'd do it before/during is if I was just having fun with some friends, just jamming at their place or something and having a good time (a.k.a. not playing a show).

No drugs period.

And no alcohol until after the show. Drinking alcohol for some reason completely ruins my voice. If I don't drink, I can scream, growl, and sing through a 40 minute set with no problem (or a 2-5 hour practice with no problem). But, if I start drinking, my voice is ruined within 10 minutes. All hoarse and stuff.

If it's just a little alcohol, I can play guitar fine, but the more alcohol, the more sloppy I get and the more my timing gets thrown off. One beer isn't going to give me even a buzz, but it will ruin my voice and make my lead guitar playing and such ever so slightly sloppier.

Therefore, the answer is "no." After I show, I go out drinking like crazy. Or, even at the show after our set has finished (if we're not the last band), I'll start drinking.

Maybe one pint, but I'll nurse it for the 2 hours of setup and soundcheck...been drunk once on stage, but thankfully our power metal band was playing a gig full of punks, so noone noticed :P

Practice, we stopped having drinks because after 3 or 4 we'd start getting lazy and distracted, and from 4 it started to get sloppy and not worth the money to hire the rehersal room

tl;dr after, not before (also no drugs)

(Also looking for some help with my RG2120xvv, there's a thread on it)
