I was less discussing the technicalities behind it all, and more trying to make the point that art and drugs have been intertwined for a while now, and that "GETTING" 100% of the msg the artist was conveying sober cannot be achieved. Arguable of course... and ps. I'm the first person on the dancefloor to let it all go and to just rock out.

I totally agree, I loved house music well before the drugs came into play, but sometimes when you are in that state of mind you hear differences from when you hear it sober. Does anyone else get that?its kinda cool because even though you are listening to the same song its different and its almost like having twice the library for listening too.

I'm not sure if I'm going to make any sense, but how many of you actually believe that taking drugs makes music 'better', or is it merely a perception, or an illusion?

Now I'm one of those 'virgins' who haven't done any sort of drugs, unless you count being around weed smokers and tons of alcohol.

I admit that certain times when I get drunk, I will go around and dance like a maniac even at a top40 club. Intoxication is a funny thing.

But am I dancing like a maniac because alcohol made top40 music better, or is it just the effects of alcohol... encouraging me to dance to top40?

Well thats different, thats because top 40 is crap hahah. Anything you can do to make it better do it!!!!

I think its the effects of alcohol there, two questions, did you like top 40 before you got drunk and do you dance to top 40 normally?

Of course good music is just a perception, there's no absolute way to measure the goodness of music. And yeah, they definitely make music better. Me and Mona would blaze a lot and just listen to music in the car while we were high, and I can tell you the emotions and feelings and just plain goosebumps the songs stirred in me I'd never get when I listened to the exact same songs when I was sober. It's something you can't really understand till you experience it first hand.

Speaking of which, alcohol just makes me more jumpy and more willing to dance, but it has no effect on my appreciation of music (i.e. everything sounds the same as it does when I'm sober). Weed or E on the other hand pushes your enjoyment of music to such a limit that you feel like if you don't dance to this, right now, you're going to explode from the enjoyment of it. This alone makes alcohol a much more inferior drug to weed imo.

I think that alcohol makes music sound better.. Not if you get shitfaced tho. If you have a few drinks and put on a red hot chilli peppers cd you will know wat i mean.

Originally posted by geroin I'm gathering it from my own experience and from what I've seen. It is obviously an assumption and not a fact but me you and the rest of the people on here know for fact that not everyone parties for the love of the music. To prove my point, go to guv/the drink/gallery on any given saturday and ask 10 sketchy people who the dj is, i'd say 6/10 would tell you they don't know. Hell 80% of the guv are asian people and most of them don't even care what music is being pounded in those speakers as long as it is.

I would agrue that the people who don't know who the DJ is are there more for the music....really....who cares who spins the tracks....I could care less if its tiesto, M & S, MO, Dennis Hahn or any other DJ....as long as the tunes are great then who cares who spins them.
