    you dont drink much on stage...need i remind you about the beer beaver spilled all over you during a solo at cubbie bear north...
    BUSTED!

    Taking any thing and playing isnt a good idea ...
    I've never played a gig yet but me and the band practice every weekend and always there seems to be 3 or 4 people down there anyways one time(EVERY time) we had hash but this time was different i said instead of smoking and then playing lets play abit and half way through we could stop and smoke to see if there was a big difference in the playingand my causen said naugh theres no difference but me and the drummer disagreed and so we tried this experimint and the results were unbeliveable we could only play our easist song just and with many mistakes the other songs were terrible like for getting which verse and the number of times on each chours etc

    yeah I can't say much on the drug side of the game. I've never been inclined to do drugs, other than alcohol of course. that alone can fuck a gig up. no need to add other things to the list. ;)

    yeah playing sober and on the adrenaline is best. party afterwards

    take it from Mike McCready. "I can't believe how much better I am sober."
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    yes indeed...

    playing really fucked up is not a good idea...

    playing with a nice buzz, on the other hand is quite an experience...

    I don't get stoned and play live, but in the studio, i love to smoke it up...i do shit that i would not normally do on the guitar...

    one of the best pieces of advice is...if you fuck up on stage don't make a face or act like something has gone wrong and the crowd will never know...they are usually drunk anyway...

    if you play a wrong note...play it again...and it sounds like it was supposed to be there...

    peace
