As a condition for recording contracts? I believe it is way past due. The recording industry certainly has a financial reason to do so. Other entertainment industries such as sports and professional wrestling have done so for years. Imagine how many famous musicians might be alive and still producing epic music if mandatory drug testing was already an industry practice.

omg it's back

[NiteDog]

No, and like most of your threads, they are absurd, entertaining, and missed. Good to see you back in good form Gseries.

You would deny musicians their creativity inducers?

 

Would the likes of Lou Reed, Keith Richards, Ozzy Osborne and a host of others be as successful straight? I doubt it.

 

People look up to sports figures and professional wrestlers (Bit of a stretch on the latter) but we like to look down on our recording artists.

NO, the use of drugs has inspired many songs and helped the musicians in the creation of the music and groups ability to play the songs to the masses.

G you've been absent too long you need to run a training academy because we have a bunch of noobs that think they know how to angle, but they can't even hit the water.

I hear that alot but if you take me for example, my art has gotten better since I stopped drinking 9 years ago. If we rail against Lance Armstrong for using drugs to enhance his performance arent we being inconsistent when we say its ok for musicians to use drugs to enhance performance?

If they were worried about enhanced performance most of today's popular artists would be canned because of auto tune.  But you have a point about many of them being taken too young from drugs and alcohol.

I can't believe Im getting so much push back on this issue. From what Im hearing you guys are basically saying that you are willing to trade piles of dead musicians stacked like cordwood for the sake of slightly better music. Thats Not a fan man, thats Not a fan!

Big G;

If you ever hear me play the keys you'll want what I'm smoking.

 

Seriously, drugs have been a part of the music scene since forever.

 

Sadly, many talented people have gone down in flames way too early.

Forget the drug testing. What we need is mandatory 'millennial whoop' testing on every song.

[tod914]

The musician friends I know from growing up would pass that test in flying colors.  As long as the exam is multiple choice.

Based on your profile pic, if you resemble that person in any way, perhaps it is time to regulate the sell and consumption of any food with high fructose corn syrup.

Oh fat shaming now are we? Like we meaning you too dont spend 12 hours a day playing WOT while swilling Mt Dew and eating cheetos from a trough. We all cant be world class athletes like Caitlyn Jenner.

Not sure what you mean because both thoses acts consistently sell out of tickets at every venue. To be honest though I was thinking more along the lines of Elton John, Kenny G, and Nickleback.

80s synth pop returns - Pet Shop Boys new song blasts social media.
