@XcatisX

Blame your dumbass family members then, It was their own damn fault for getting hooked onto drugs in the first place. No one either forced them into it, nor anyone wants to hear your moral bullshit for their own faults dude. If you feel so strongly about it, go make a campaign about it or something, at least we'll all laugh at your pathetic attempts to put blame onto others for their own vices. Oh and no, i'm not some 'pathetic meth head', despite your ignorant assumptions.;/

@trinoply My brother and aunt both died of heroin overdose. After stealing from and hurting people to pay for their addiction. After going to jail multiple times each. After getting in a car accident and killing 3 people. That really improved their lives right? Drugs can't improve your life in any way. Although you're probably some toothless meth head so there's really no point in me trying to convince you. Go back to shooting up you fucking loser.

@XcatisX

You're implying that drugs are a bad thing. Children of the D.A.R.E. programs these days. Drugs are a choice and can only be viewed as a bad thing if they interfere with life rather than improve it.

[XcatisX]

@trinoply Nice logic there. If you're a musician drugs are A-okay kids!

@cerebraljelly

I don't see how drug use should hinder a guitarist at all. a guitarist is a guitarist like all of us, marijuana,coke,sober,whatever. If the person puts out high end musical content and does drugs, who cares? I mean unless its like Dragonforce who get so drunk they can't fucking play live (Not that it would matter lol)

@Saintuana Exhaustion and amphetamine met at the Isle of Wight recordings. But to measure a guitarists ability one should take his best Moment to judge his potential, which would be Filmore East in this case. After Billy Graham had talked to him about him getting sloppy when making his moves on stage he played in a way that was far away from being sloppy. But few people know that nor do they compare the recordings... And in addition to that and once and for all: MUSIC IS NOT A SPORT!

[EbonyPope]

@Saintuana Whenever Jimi is introduced to a debate terms like "sloppy" are guaranteed to appear in the comments. But this is a poor description for describing his playing. "Inconsistent" would be a much more approriate term. Jimi new that a great percentage of his performances were sub par (and I as a fan don't denie that either). He freely admitted it and even apologized to the audience sometimes. Most of these sloppy moments were either drug induced or caused by mere exhaustion or both.

I also went to this little concert. It's unforgettable!!

as far as I can tell, Paul is a clean and sober musician and his technical proficiency is a result of labors of love. The great guitar players that some refer here to, Jimi etc, were amazing. AMAZING! But should they not have an asterick by there name that points out drug use to achieve results?
