Thoughts on music completely changed after Ecstasy use

YEP! MDMA totally warped my musical life. Im a huge music lover. However, you guys are going to laff....I was introduced to MDMA 10 years ago through jam bands and crazy bluegrass music like String Cheese Incident. So for me, when I drop MDMA, I want to hoe down and hear fiddles....NOT Electronic music!! hahahaa so different.....Music Festivals are fucking awesome.
Later down the road I finally went to Burning Man and that event alone without drugs got me into all types of Electronic music. Funny though, I prefer taking shrooms or acid to Dubstep and the likes. Dubstep is just too freakin slow for me to enjoy on MDMA. Shrooms and pot and dubstep is awesome :) When I take MDMA, I like fast picking banjos and euphoric fiddles. Thats what was so cool about String Cheese. They had trancy grooves AND bluegrass. Most people would barf but for me this is heaven.
Plus, I am a huge fan of vocals and singing. One of my favorite things to do on MDMA is sing. Ya cant do this with electronic music! Not really...unless its fun remixes. I prefer to rock out, sing, funk it up, hear horns, and SING SING SING! Did I mention that singing is super fun on MDMA? If youre in the right crowd, nobody cares because they are all high and singing the songs, too!!
 
I've been rolling half the night, and last couple hours unwinding and playing songs randonly of yourube. Closest I got to Heavy Metal was Deep Purple and I accidentally keyed up Disturbed. Fine usualy just don't think it's so good w/ a roll. I've been pretty much open to listening to anything w/ my girlfriend and we covered everything from the Pixies, Gretchin Wilson with Alice in Chains doing "Barracuda," Hank Williams Sr, Tom Waitts, Lenny Kravitz, Prodigy, Filter and Chem. Bros. remixes,. Cake, Bob Seger, Eminem, Wu Tang, and back to Filter. I can't believe country Music sounded fairly good tonight. Usualy it hurts my ears. I tend not to like the NuMetal stype bands that do a lot of screaming. I get the anger first time around. It gets old kind of fast with a singer screaming the whole song, though maybe that's an age thing. My definition of the hardest metal band I have ever heard was Iron Maiden in the 1980's. The New stuff is just to screamy for me anyway, but to each his or her own!
 
dude i'm the same way I used to listen to a broad range of music then I started abusing ecstasy pretty hardcore and during my depression stage for the past 4 months I would only listen to music about Ecstasy. Like mac dre and thizz nation and stuff like that. One day I woke up and felt much better and I could feel that my serotonin finally recovered. I tried to listen to some of the mac dre songs like "thizzle dance" and realized how bad the music really is. I no longer have any craving for E and I feel like I was such an e-tard when I used to listen to it.
 
I don't know if i read your post properly but if you truly love electronic music, why dont you try to produce? use your music skills, make your own style. You say you're a metal head, incorporate that into your own original music.
Lastly, never think about the money. Do what you love and it'll all work out in the end. besides the world ends in 2012 so....
 
well before i started rolling i hated any kind of electronic music, couldnt stand it... after rolling a few times i started to love it, but it didnt change my love for other styles as well. more just expanded my love, music is one of my favorite thing, i guess it just helped me apprecate dub, dnb, trance, ect.
 
Have you tried rolling at a metal show? Its not for everyone but I've heard good things.

I'm new to the rave and drug scene. After reading this post I think I might want to roll at a metal concert so that I i don't go down the same road as you and many of my friends. They tell me that they think they abandon their former musical tastes because electronic dance music becomes associated in their minds with the euphoria felt while rolling.

IDK, a metal concert may sound like a terrible environment to roll but because of my current musical tastes I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I think the Big Four concert in April (Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica!!) would be perfect with the loud thuds of the double bass kicks, heavy guitar riffs, pyrotechnics, and the whole idea & feeling of unity behind the concept of the big Four coming together.
 
i used to think techno sucked until i started rolling. i have always and will always love hard rock/metal though. nothing could get that to change for me lol. my band is currently working on songs to release on a demo cd. but X did get me to appreciate techno because now i love it. i listen to it all time but metal is still my fav. it sucks that i only just discovered daft punk recently, compared to how long they have been around. it sounds like you need a long break from it. matter of fact when i was abusing X i didnt hardly touch my guitar at all. now that i rarely do it anymore, i have since started playing drums and havent looked back. abusing X deff messed with my determination and drive to do alot of things so that might be the reason why you dont play or listen to it anymore. i mean, you said you still wanna do it you just lack the ambition. so at least you know you still wanna do it deep down. i would say take a long break and figure out your priorities.
