nicksg941 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 One thing that ive always been curious on is the "power" of rock, u know what i mean? All those famous people like Jimmy Page, Angus Young, Kurt Cobain, Noel Gallagher and so on- most of them have been using drugs. And some of them i think are very talented( Jimmy Page). But can't u still be a great player and not be addicted to all that bade stuff? I know, music and ideology shouldnt mix and i agree, but the reality keeps telling all of us the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 My personal opinion is that those great songs by the greats mentioned would not have been written if not for the drugs. They would have had decent careers without them, but the altering mind substances did make a difference. They allowed them to think outside the box, if only for a brief time. Some folks might not have needed them, but obviously some did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I know it's hard to believe in todays world, but I've never even tried drugs, and some consider me a great musician... I consider myself an average to good musician (not completely good or above good), and if anyone told me I would be great or better if I did drugs I would preffer to remain an average to good musician (I've seen what drus do to people, some of them friends of mine, and I don't know why anyone would want that).

Bluemoon Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I would agree with Homz, though I would add that the creative benefits of drug use is very short lived. Eventually, the drugs will consume you and eventually crush all your creativity. What is more important, a short, creative [yet painful] career or a long, healthy and productive career?

Homz Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I just realized the Satan card had been played. I don't think that is for real. I think many bands played it in order to get some free press. Such as, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy, and B.O.C.. It's hard for me to get a grasp on the whole concept since I have a general disbelief that Satan even exists.

grampa Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 There's the story about a couple of baby boomers going to a Dead show, the first rock show for them since their younger days, and they realize that without drugs, the music sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djroge1 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I think some bands may have jumped on the satan band wagon, but I know Jimmy Page was so infatuated with Aliester Crowley that he actually bought Crowley's old house in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a linguist and a major translator of many languages . He didn't have a clue what he was doing. he was just feeding the missinformation for the masses.

But remember the summary of that book is "Do what thou wilt" and that goes in direct opposition to what God desires which is to do His (God's) will. If we look at a simplified doctrine of Satan we find that satan is adversary or one who causes adversity. An adversary who is opposition of someone or something and this case the Bible talks about being in opposition with God. This is why I would say he was a satanist. All people are at some point in opposition with God, but Crowley promoted it and tried from what I know of him, to glorify that position. I could be wrong, but that's how I see it.
