Sorry dude but this = 100% moral crap. Suggesting that making stuff during a hangover just provides angry music the world doesn't need is wrong! Assuming this would actually be true, what would the music nowadays be without blues and other "depressing" genres to reflect what we are as humans?

Also, you seem to forget that tons of superb and positive music were made during intoxicated/ stoned state, not after.

[DJVespers]

@Drrolfski Sure, there's lots of well known and popular music that has been created while on drugs or alcohol. But at what cost? Many of those artists were depressed or addicted or otherwise afflicted. I'm reminding people to look after themselves and their bodies and spirits by using those things in moderation, if at all. At the end of the day it's to each his/her own. If you don't feel it fits for you, you don't have to implement the guidance.

@DJVespers Music is passion dude. And passion sometimes comes at a cost, Although using Alcohol/drugs doesn't automatically means you are a junkie like you are suggesting. My biggest gripe is though is that you are completely missing the point. You are suggesting: "I need to be disciplined and live like an athlete in order to be successful" which is complete bullshit. Being passionate about your stuff doesn't necessarily mean living like a Spartan.

[DJVespers]

@Drrolfski What I am committed to is encouraging artists to live healthy and sustainable lifestyles that help them to create the music they are passionate about. I don't happen to believe that you need drugs or alcohol to write music. Both of those have a huge cost and end up lowering the user's vibration. In no way does that mean living with the discipline of an athlete, but it does take being conscious of how one treats his or her body. All the best.

[Drrolfski]

@DJVespers There's nothing wrong with promoting a healthy lifestyle, I personally would prefer that as well. Just don't suggest it will make you write better music because you have absolutely no ground for that.

[DJVespers]

@Drrolfski What I'm sharing is my personal experience and that of my students. I've observed myself and others produce higher quality results that are more in alignment with their ambition as artists by adopting a lifestyle that leads to a higher vibration through better health. I'm basing this guidance on experience and observation of many people I've coached.

For the record, I think Dj Vespers said that he does drink occasionally. If that makes any of you feel any better, but I don't think it should. Some people like George Burns can smoke cigars until they are 90 some odd years old, but obviously this doesn't go for a majority of people. I think the spirit of this video is "be ahead/on top of your game". Do what you will but don't fool yourself. We are not all Hendrix, thankfully (he died at 27). Get to know yourself and your limits.

[Drrolfski]

@DJVespers Fair enough, just don't present it as a general truth because you have no scientific evidence to back that up.

Good for you vespers, I get so down when I hear about my fav producers getting high or drinking to the point where they can't function. You are spreading a good message!

[Drrolfski]

@DJVespers At least you are suggesting it to be on the moral high side: "I really like that bit about artists being just like athletes."

[DJVespers]

@Drrolfski Did I really say "you need to be an athlete to create top level music"?
