Garcia wrote the music to most of the songs he sang in, but never wrote any lyrics for the band, he and Hunter had some great synergy

same goes with bob weir

and Robert Hunter is a genius, gotta love the no bullshit lyrics

Bob Weir wrote some of the worst Dead songs ever. In his wildest dreams he can't even compare to the Hunter/Garcia song writing duo.

HELL YEAH! I fuckin hate Eminem now. He's just another "gangsta rapper" now. He used to be the most original crazy fuck out there.
 
I'm going to have to with with The Mars Volta for sure. Some of the most intense music I've ever listened to tripping. Oh and Shpongle. ;)

And for the record, AIC > Nirvanadsddd
 
Trent Reznor.... by far the greatest fucked up artist of all time, notice how that now that he's sober his music is far less aggressive and full of emotion. Want to see the best, most emotional, aggressive, head on fucked up, in your face concert you've ever seen? Woodstock '94 - Nine Inch Nails..... Reznor was so unbelievably fucked up he was rolling around the stage, kicking over equipment and screaming his lungs out and pouring emotion into each and every song. Drugs can do some amazing things mixed with a man as talented as Trent Reznor. If you are a Nine Inch Nails fan, or even just a drug user you can feel the raw emotion and many of us and feel that same raw emotion inside ourselves when we've been so fucked up in life we just want to scream. Here it is in its entirety, amazing performance:

On August 13th, 1994 Nine Inch Nails took part in the Woodstock Music and Art Festival.

Their performance is considered one of the best in the band's history, despite the band's opinion that it was one of their worst.

They took the stage covered head-to-toe in mud. This single performance is widely accepted as the one that made the band famous.

Thanks for those links, DeadheadChemistry. I'll definitely be checking those out tonight.
 
No problem, anyone who has been that fucked up can appreciate how raw and emotional that concert was. Trent Reznor + Drugs = Good Music

Nine Inch Nails is probably my favorite band just because most of Trent's earlier work touched on the trials of addiction he was going through, from soft ballads like hurt and something I can never have that make any junkie form a bond immediately, to the raw anger at not being able to stop and just wanting to "burn the whole world down" in songs like Burn, Sin, Down In It, Head Like A Hole, and many others.

pete dougherty used to write beautiful songs, (this is for lovers), play sketchty shows for drug money and was pretty bad ass with the libertines (up the bracket lp) , he was jailed for robbing his roomates and band members for drugs,
drugs are slowly killing him and his talent...too bad,
peace,

I have to go with Miles Davis. The man lived through nearly every drug craze there was besides meth and partook in most of them. His music changed through time as did his drug of choice. He created some of the greatest music of the 20th Century, a lot of it as an addict. I guess he is not really a song writer but they way he played the trumpet is so lyrical that it is the same to me.
