Up until recently, I had never done crack cocaine. But the other day, I found some lying around and figured, "hey...I think I'll have a snort." When I did...WOW! I have never played so well in my life! The moral? Crack is ok, but only if you want to expand your guitar playing ability.
If I could be a solo...I think I'd be Eruption...

too bad you'll die before you get a chance to use your new found skills
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

You can't snort Crack; that would be coke, my friend. And there is a difference

It burns when I snort Coke.

I think it's all the carbonation?
Sometimes I hit notes only dogs can hear.

Who would support taking drugs?
Man, we see all those geniuses die at 25 because (directly or indirectly) of them, and there's always some dumb kids that'll go "I 'll do like them, and play better" ****...

Work your ass off on the guitar, THAT makes you play better. Drugs won't do anything to you, except killing you.

A while ago, I told one of the guys I work with that I was going back to my hometown to visit friends and family. He suggested I was going to be partying with all my doper buddies from way back. Without thinking, I replied, "I can't do that - most of 'em are dead!"

The sad,sad truth is...cociane DOES make you play better...at least to the brain of the beholder.
Most of my friends had a problem with "yayo" and made it a point to do some "rails" before jamming(I would of joined them if I didnt think it would kill me)...they thought the session went great all the time,when we really never got anything done...I assume it makes you play good on your instrument,but it dosnt make a band as a whole get any where...and when it wears of there unable to eat,a 120lbs and constantly opening the car door to hurl,sniffing water to ease the burning holes and...do I need to say more?

If any of you are serious(which immensley doubt...and everyone should know this)
Its not worth it!

Well, like booze, the only person who thinks you play better when stoned is you and that is because your perception is all messed up and your confidence levels are artificially high.

Coke can kill you, make no mistake. It also has several interesting ways of ding this, from just plane making your heart explode, to weakening it over time leading to early death via mr heart attack.

Coke is also terribly addictive, you know how you can tell you have really good coke, well it makes you want more as soon as it starts to where off.....this is not a coincidence !

I have seen a couple of my friends fall apart due to Coke use. It is not funny !

Crack is like freebase that is very pure coke, more highly concentrated and that means it will only kill you faster.

oh my god.. how old are you? 10? i wouldnt say anything if it was marihuana, but that just sucks. i highly recommend that threads like this should not be discussed for too long - just delete them.

Azrael is probably right, this should be closed soon. On the other hand, the thread is getting some good opinions.
If I leave here tomorrow,
Will you still remember me?

Coke makes you work harder, Im not talking from experience, but many great albums have been made on coke (Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil, Oasis - Be Here Now). Tommy Lee said on Shout they were working for 3 days straight without sleep and they still felt like they were slacking off, whereas without coke they probably wouldnt even have showed up to the studio. Also in Noel Gallaghers case he assumed everyone wanted to hear extended guitar solos in every song and the result was an album of 6 minute fret-wanker songs.

I snorted Coke once, but the bubbles kept tickling my nose... was I just doing it wrong?
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

Ok...you guys are scaring me. I put this post up as a joke, and am terrified at how many people actually replied. I thought it would just get (In the words of Strongbad) "DELETED!"

I don’t think their is any need to delete this thread (other mods may not agree with me), it was a childish idea to post this topic as a joke however the take home message is loud a clear.....

Coke will kill you if you abuse it as will so many other things.

It will also not make you a better guitar player, only practice will do that !
