I can't believe Bill has been doing his show for so long and hasn't learned to not talk over people.
You mean like ... Oprah ? haha
@@lamnuck Or any of them really, these people are horrible interviewers lol
@@Nabo42 I work with a guy like this . I learned that you have to talk over someone sometimes or you'll never get a word in. mic hogs, haha
It’s partly regional communication style and the fact that the more emotionally involved and engaged in a topic someone is the more they tend to talk over one another. It can simply be a sign of an interesting conversation provided they aren’t trying to abusing shut down the other person from speaking.
Seems like how normal conversations go to me…
Imagine how good this show would be if Bill would let AMAZING PEOPLE tell their AMAZING FUCKING STORIES!
Maybe the weed won't let him.
@@briweeks71 unfortunately, bill maher is turning into a grumpy old man
Imagine how good this show would be if he wasn’t on it, ever.
@@Hapotecario
Ever since Trump, these liberal snobs have been in a constant state of butthurt and it’s great to watch.
If Bill Maher interviewed Bill Maher, it would be two guys each saying 5 or 6 words before the other guy impatiently interrupts because he's convinced whatever he's thinking is way more interesting than what his clone is saying.
Kyle Dunnigan has that covered already
he needs to interview Brandan Schaub
😂😂😂
Brilliant.
😂 TOO REAL!
Bill destroys every interview.
Facts the dude is a smart and yet stupid stupid asshole !!with in essence basically destroys his very potential for greatness
Oh hes the best worst
That comment could be taken two ways, both correct
Yes he does.
It's a conversation with 2 dudes. Not an interview bud
"Why do people do drugs? I don't get it." As he puffs a cigar and drinks liquor every episode.
Both physical addictions
He doesn't even see the hypocrisy.
He also asks about drugs in the music business as if the world of standup comedy when he first came up (70s and 80s) wasn't filled to the top with cocaine.
And smokes huge blunts.
For someone who’s flaunted their drug use for years, he still comes off as a total narc.
This Bill guy really likes to hear Bill talk
Bill doesn't know what you mean.
That's basically what this podcast is: Bill Maher talking at famous people.
Bill is the coolest dude Bill ever met.
Yes, let's get pedantic about the fact that paper LSD is technically a liquid, Bill
Is every question Bill asks now rhetorical? Or, does he just enjoy hearing himself talk over his guests? Either way, I’m so glad Bill knows more about being a rockstar than rockstars do. Such a unique perspective.
Yes
John McEnroe said in his book, "You Cannot Be Serious!" that the roar of the crowd is totally addicting. Also, the attention from the media and hero-worship from the fans. I'm convinced the Stones went from drug addiction to simply switching one addiction for another. Or stopping one and continuing another. All of these ancient rock bands are addicted to the attention and roar of the crowd. I rather doubt U2 needs the money. For cryin' out loud they did their best work 35 years ago!
Bill steps all over the story about LSD. RELAX, BILL.
ikr instead of hearing an interesting macro dose trip story from the mind of a rockstar we get to hear about Bill's experience with poppers and weird sex
@@microplasticsinurblud Bill is the epitome of a malcontent narcissist. He is always butting his stupid asides into things. He thinks this is really in his basement club space. No, this is an interview for those of us watching and we would like to enjoy it. Billy even had to warn him he was stepping on the story. And then he called Billy Corgan a complete idiot basically.
"You could have died" LOL. Bill is so naïve.
@@AnthonyL0401 lol. there was a second there where Billy was like "Huh? Did he just call me an idiot?" then he let it slide cause it was the polite thing to do and he understood what he was trying to say. I mean we're definitely prone to make bad decisions and do some dumb stuff when we're young but idiot is kinda harsh. It's that same youthful exuberance that can and has created some amazing contributions across the board.
@@Shlogger And the worse part is that Bill Maher presents himself as a rebel and who wants to say whatever is true for himself, yet he has such rigid views especially as he's getting older. Bill is just truly an asshole, tbf.
Motley Crue was right. Performing on stage in front of a ton of people is the biggest high ever. Afterwards it’s really hard to just “shut off” so you want to keep the party going.
It's because your ENDORPHINS and Dopamine levels are THRU the roof. There is a real chemistry behind it . Also the testosterone levels and youth is on your side.
I think Motley just liked to party in general. Look at Vince, poor guy ...
Very true. I wanted to keep playing often
im surprised he didn't make the "drugs fuel artistic creativity" argument
@@microplasticsinurblud I believe he'd agree with that argument, so long as they aren't abused.
IDK which is dumber: that Bill thinks 25 hits of LSD will "kill you" or that Billy thinks 2 cupped hands full of liquid LSD is anywhere NEAR 25 hits (try "in the hundreds" unless it was seriously watered down).
my favorite genre is people who don't know anything about drugs talking about drugs
giving him the benefit of the doubt I think Bill was making the argument that taking that quantity of an unknown substance from a guy you just met can definitely kill you. if that was some DOM Nbome or Bromo he would be a dead man. also yeah a cupful of liquid lsd even watered down would be like 25mg at least or 250 hits. definitely, a couple sheets worth which would leave you in a psychedelic trance for days on end and might traumatize you to the point of no return mentally. but physically I think you'd be alright and there are stories of people taking thumbprints or dousing themselves in the liquid and coming back to reality. lucy is a kind substance that will take care of you if given the respect it deserves
One hit of Cid is 100 micograms. One microgram is a millionth of a gram. Two handful s of acid would be like millions of hits or some shit
Okay so would 2 cupped hands of LSD kill someone? As you say "in the hundreds" of hits?
@@microplasticsinurblud xcept that such things encourage draconian Drug Laws, but it is otherwise quite amusing LOL
Mahr cant resist showing how much he knows. LOL.
*"doesn't know", you mean (cf. "25 hits of LSD will kill you")
he doesn't know shit. LSD isn't always just liquid. it comes in crystal form as well. 25 hits won't kill you but taking that high dose of an unknown substance definitely can be lethal if it's not actually lsd. lsd 25 is one of the few drugs on the planet where you can overdose to that extent and still walk away without major physical harm. your mind is another story, but he seems alright all these years later. also no surprise he experimented with amyls
Being interviewed by Bill feels like talking to a doctor about your problems, and they're correcting your grammer instead of listening.
Grammar. And no, I'm not a doctor😁
One reason why some rock stars started using drugs was to help keep them awake after being on the road for days on end with very little rest. And some to help cope with the pain
It's difficult to sleep on a tour bus even with bunks. I have slept in a sleeper carriage on an overnight train and woke up every time we pulled into a station. Sleeping in a cabin below deck on a ferry or ship is difficult too as it is so suffocating so I went upstairs to deck level lounges to try to sleep.
I like that his example of another profession is industrial adhesives. A job where you could literally sniff glue all day.
I'm a blue collar worker and about half my coworkers are acohilics or partake in some sort of drug!
Anyone who's worked in a major restaurant in a big city can tell you that most of the staff is on uppers all the fucking time.
@@VuotoPneumaNN Yet it still takes 25 minutes to make my nachos.
@@mneugent7658 Not sure they serve nachos at Osteria Francescana
@@VuotoPneumaNN Well that's a shame then.
Billy is a guy who comfortable in his own skin and he’s not afraid to make fun of himself. That’s awesome
There’s a lot of material
@@aWomanFreeddidn't he bang Courtney love, ?
You know very little about him, don't you? Most interviews and most durect accounts, plus much of his online behaviour actually paint the picture of a very insecure, backstabbing narcissist.
I'm seeing Billy everywhere these days..... I LOVE this man. I know it's Cliche....but his music influenced me greatly when I had several personal tragedies in my late teens. God Bless Him.
to hide the pain of the reality that 1) you are a puppet of the music industry and 2) you are completely alone when not on stage
I can't feel sorry for Rock/Pop stars, they're making huge amounts of money doing what they love. As Ozzy once said, "If you think you got it tough, go get a real job mate".
@@pillsareyummy oh i dont feel sorry for them either
I took an Addy and perk one time and started playing the guitar and literally felt like I was playing like Jimi Hendrix and I filmed myself. The next day, yeah I definitely was not Jimi Hendrix lol.
Before I went to college, I'd only smoked weed once or twice and it was low quality small town brick weed. My first week of college I was introduced to really great weed by a guy across the hall. I went back to my dorm room, put on The Doors, and laid down in my bed. For the next two hours I was Jim Morrison. I never even got up out of my bed. I just lay there being Jim Morrison.
Roflmao I fucking love this!!!
as a "boots on the ground" industrial adhesive manufacturing worker... There are more of us than rock stars, but we're mostly just a bunch of potheads.
Bassist form queens of the stone age says there's no better feeling than playing live and that's why people that take drugs is to replace that feeling it off stage. I have played in front of people and the feeling is truly amazing
Bill is clearly a connoisseur of LSD then 😂
No. He's an idiot.
LSD is not "always liquid". LSD is a crystalline powder, which is usually diluted into a shelf stable carrier liquid, such as ethanol.
Meanwhile, Alice Cooper said that he wasn't "partying" like people imagine; he was drinking because it was boring and depressing to be alone in hotel rooms all day while he was waiting for them to set up the venue.
There was also an interview with Harrison Ford where he openly admitted that he only really got to see hotel rooms, and traveling wasn't exciting for him. So it isn't a musician/rocker/rapper thing, it's a famous thing in general.
1. Musicians are artists, and drugs have always been used as a means of enhancing creativity.
2. Concerts are just parties, and people tend to drink/use drugs at parties, performers or otherwise.
3. Self-fulling prophecy. Drugs/alcohol are strongly associated with the culture of being a stage performer. To a degree, performers probably do feel like it's just what expected of them.
4. As Maher alluded to, people are likely offering them stuff, everywhere they go, as a means of gaining their favor.
5. To deal with the unique stress of being famous.
Rush is one of the rare bands that grew out of the drug thing early
@@lamnuckThe Manic Street Preachers too.
Rock bands rarely have drug tests. I imagine that is another big difference.
@lamnuck I think it's more that they kept it pretty quiet and aren't really "partiers" per se.
But when you are an entertainer you are staff just as much as the catering staff and lighting crew so you are working not partying.
it was the just the time, me and my friends didn't really play music but damn we partied like we were rock stars, I mean massive amounts of everything we done. if you weren't there you wouldn't believe it. it amazing any of us survived or didn't go insane. we lost a few in the early 2000s
I can relate. there's definitely times throughout the day when I'm hit with random memories and I think how the fuck am I still here? lol
When I was in my band playing in Hollywood, I realized to Billy's first point, that there is a lot of down time, a lot of time to waste that the draw or allure to drugs and alcohol was an easy time waster before you even get into the effects of it all. After that you crave to keep that feeling and it's all over. I was lucky enough to exercise some restraint but the allure was all too easy.
I only drank when I was onstage. It numbed the cigarette smoke sting from eyes and made being onstage tolerable. I quit music years ago and haven't had a drop since.
@@xpicklepie As soon as I got out of music and out of that environment, it was easier for me to not to drink or smoke anymore. Part of the problem was my lack of discipline but the environment did not make things better.
Disposable income and too much free time. These two items go hand in hand.
It is almost impossible to OD on LSD. Now it can leave your mind in shackles.
You mean shambles?
in 91 I went with friends to SF that just so happened to be over the weekend for the Bill Graham memorial concert(Golden Gate Park). We went and it didnt take 5 minutes for someone walking around with a glass bottle, an eye dropper, and a bag of sugar cubes to offer us a dose. We didnt want to be rude so...anyway I dont know how we got backstage(a friend said it was a roadie for Tracy Chapman of all people), but there were drugs everywhere. All free. Everything, anything.
I work in the LA/Hollywood film industry and there are a LOT of drugs(more so a decade+ ago). Ive been to a lot of concerts and gotten backstage(the first 3 Lollapalooza for instance. Parties with famous actors and musicians) but that concert was on a whole never level.
I always thought that the drugs start with just trying to deal with playing on stage. I was in a band in high school and I would get so nervous that I could barely play my instrument. With hundreds and sometimes a couple thousand ppl and all their energy coming directly at you, it was like sensory overload. I started smoking pot and it worked like magic. On the other hand are lead singer was just the opposite. He was an extreme personality, didn’t know what the word nervous even meant.
I think at a high enough level (i.e. rockstars playing packed arenas) *most* (but not all) artists get used to the pressure and taking drugs becomes more about dealing with energy exertion (tiredness or what Corgan was talking about - the sudden low ofter performing) or even pain (mental or physical). Also, artists' performance really varies under the influence. Some can perform just fine drunk or on drugs (sometimes better), others are absolute trash.
Eddie Van Halen got into hard spirits and smoking in his mid teens as he was too shy even to perform with a school band.
@@lemsip207 David Bowie famously suffered with stage fright, the time he did Soul Train he was off his head on coke, he also admitted to being physically sick before Live Aid in 1985. The lead singer with Steely Dan was bad with nerves too.
The other side of the coin is that all sorts of people from all walks of life are ending up dead from drugs. When I scan the obituaries in the local paper and see that someone between say 20 and 50 years old "died at home", chances are high that it was an overdose. The musician and drug use is likely true but it would be interesting to see some statistics of drug deaths among musicians and the population in general.
I came home after drinking all night and ate a bag of mushrooms my girlfriend got me for my birthday. There were probably about 30 standard portions in the bag and I ate the whole thing before I went to bed. I woke up about 30 minutes later and lost my mind for the next several hours. The closes sensation I could compare it to would be sprinting along the edge of the Grand Canyon on a race-horse while being terrified of heights and not knowing how to ride a horse.
That's it? I dream that kind of thing NIGHTLY and then I wake up shitting myself LMAO and I don't do drugs LMAO
lol, I get mad scary dreams straight from hell when I go to bed sober
That's an amazing metaphor man, made me laugh out loud!
and you want reparations...?
just be glad you are alive.......
LOL, I did 2 portions one time after being like nothing with 1 and the 2 portions sended me to another galaxy hahaha, can't imagine someone surviving a whole bag.
I'm glad that Billy finally allowed Bill Maher to talk!
when I was in college in Greece, this guy I knew actually brought some poppers back from the UK. So one day while we were hanging out in between classes, he comes to me he says, hey man try this…I had no idea what it was but I thought what the hell, I’ll give it a try. so I take just one small sniff. Next thing I know my mouth just opens wide and I’m laughing like an idiot for absolutely no reason for about a minute or two straight. After an hour I go to class and as I’m sitting down I start to laugh again for 10-15 mins. It was so weird and intense I still remember it like it was yesterday. I’m telling you those poppers are no joke…
If you meet a person in a situation where they are fairly young and have the time to drugs and enough money to either do a lot of drugs without consequences, there’s a good chance they do a lot of drugs. Likewise if you meet a poor person who has time and doesn’t see their lives getting better even if they were sober and dedicated 100% of the time, there’s a good chance that they abuse drugs. It’s also pretty common in the middle class actually. New theory, people abuse drugs in every profession but no one cares unless it’s a celebrity that is getting destroyed by them
i love when guys who didnt start smoking pot until they retired and never touched hard drugs in their life think they know what they are talking about when it comes to drugs.... "hey I wonder what happened if i ate this?" smelling salts? realllllll hard stuff bill
I think part of it is people who become musicians are excitement seekers and risk takers by their nature or they would have taken up a safe, stable profession like accounting.
Very thoughtful, cool dude.
The EDM, House and Techno scene have the best of the best.
Billy Corgan is the top dog of rock stars presently.
Maynard James Keenan - "Lol."
False. 😂😂😂
Doc Ellis pitched a no hitter on LSD in the All Star Game in 71'. That must have been a great show.
By reading the title I thought every rockstar is doing drugs with Billy Corgan 😅
I thought it might have to do with the fact that creative sensitive people (which a lot of musicians are) can more easily get overwhelmed by their emotions because they’re so intense. So you’ll do anything you can to get away from those turbulent emotions, which alcohol and drugs do for you temporarily. The problem is that it becomes a vicious cycle which leads to addiction.
Was looking for someone to say something like this.
I’m a musician (not a famous one obviously) and a drug user. I think a lot of creative people who make art where they dump a ton of emotion and passion into it come from some pretty fucked up backgrounds, at least in the rock world. I’m a huge metalhead, and a lot of those guys had some fucked up lives, and the songs they make reflect that.
Drugs are an escape from reality for me. I don’t want to be sober because then my thoughts are there telling me awful things and filling me with anger and self-hatred. So… I do drugs to quiet them down. It’s not safe or sustainable, but neither is self-resentment. A lot of us are constantly running from reality. Drugs let you stop running for a while. It’s a welcome break, but it’s delicate. You keep pushing the highs more and more because the escape feels amazing. And that’s how you overdose or drive drunk or do other dumb shit.
Billy seems like he comes from a stable background and may not have the pain in his past that a lot of musicians I love have in theirs, so I don’t think he identifies with the escape aspect of drugs. Believe me, it’s there. Layne Staley wasn’t doing heroin because “he didn’t want the party to end.”
"Hold on....let me tell the story...." - priceless
There's also the creative side. Most of them couldn't even come up with anything if they weren't high or drunk. They're really not that creative without "help"
Another reason for drug consumption among working musicians, and probably the entertainment industry in general, is because outside of the actual performance, that life is incredibly boring. Ninety-nine percent of your time is spent either in a van, in a strange hotel trying to sleep, waiting at the club between your sound check and your set time, and then waiting around after your set to get paid. It’s a lot of time to fill and there is almost always someone in every city eager to get you drugs and party.
Plus in the early days they often have to share single beds, sleep in the van or stay in grotty back street hotels. REM members used to take it in turn to sleep in the van.
The waiting around us valuable down time for relaxing, exercising or doing vocal exercises. You can't be on all the time.
Only Bill Maher would drink an *inhalant* like amyl nitrate. Seriously, that's like saying "instead of sniffing glue, I almost ate glue".
The industrial adhesive industry is sniffing glue all day, Bill....
They skipped the most obvious reason which is that artist of all types often struggle with trying to coax out and sustain moments of inspiration and epiphany, and these are very slippery things to pin down (drugs can sort of simulate these states, however the longer you do this the less effective it is and you ended up chasing an ever receding creative state of mind).
Bill clearly doesn’t understand anything his guests ever say Jesus
@@danacuff7982 he has to cut off soooo much lol. even to try to explain to a literal rock star about the differences in acid as if he doesn't know. like c'mon xD
Well maybe it would help his understanding if he wasnt stoned all the time?
@@shanerjedi1138 not even that, just listening more. You can be stoned and understand what people are saying. If you spend someone's whole story waiting to debate small bits of it you'll miss the big picture which is what seems to keep happening on these
I'm not a rock star, just a regular person. I've taken shit off people that I just met many times, when I was young.
Yea, people exchanging drugs is normal when youre young
Not many jobs are allowed to drink while working . Wish you'd let Billy talk more . New fan of his . Being too honest ain't gonna wreck his career or anything
For fun.
Creatives have a tendency to be mental, but musicians are a whole special category of mental. Just combine that with everything Billy said.
The stuff you pop are called poppers and are Amyl Nitrate. This is prescribed to heart patients, as it dilates the blood flow. That stuff in the little bottle is called LockerRoom. It is Butyl Nitrate and was used as an air freshener.
About two decades ago my best friend at the time was getting some amazing liquid Sid. I lived in SO, UT. He lived in Northern UT. My ex, and I arrived at his house. When he opened his door, he was like “stick out your tongue,” so I did. He then took out a lil bottle of breath freshener which was actually acid. He then squirted some in my mouth. THANK GOD IT WAS SOME OF THE GOOD STUFF. I’d always bring Molly with us, and dude always had the best Sid. Those were some fun times. There is no way in hell I’d touch any hard shit like that these days. Oh, to be young, and dumb.
I remember doing poppers! It was sold in a machine in a club. 😂😂
This video should be titled “Bill Maher asks Bill Maher about drugs”
Bill the only guy who can interview a famous person and make the interview about him. SMH…
He's a tosser
The REAL reason is that music is fantasy, just like painting or acting, and in order to sustain and explore that fantasy, most musicians (and artists in general) must step outside of "reality" in order to function. Because "reality" is meaningless without another perspective to define it. There, I said it.
Nice talk.
When bought in the bottle, it was called Rush.
And Locker Room
Clear windowpane and Purple microdot. Yup! I still recall, the smile on the wall.......
Poor rock stars, a lot of money but unhappy... I'm so sad for them😢😢😢
Jesus ; look at Kurt Cobain. He would have been better off being a local band that never made it.
The old tale of the tragic artist
So u would rather be a nobody/ nothing than billy idol, most people will pick the rock star,
The real reason they want to get high is because they are always "on" so much. When they finally get a break/time off they just want to "check out" from it all. It's a way to shut it all off.
l couldn't find anything online of a fatal LSD overdose. lt must not really interact with the autonomic nervous system [heart rate and respiration] like the opioids, heroin, fentanyl.
i.e. rockstars don't work as much as the rest of us. (Btw - I was a "rockstar" for 15 years touring and recording with a big band. You can also "work" under the influence most of the time.)
Creative people are high in a trait known as "Openness" and these people are high in negative emotions and many of them not all of them use drugs to regulate their emotions. Others may use exercise like why I believe Kobe Bryant had such a work ethic and Tom Cruise used high risk to regulate his emotion but all these produce the same chemicals in the brain that these drugs do. I use to have a deep craving for drugs until I learned how to regulate my emotions.
Bill Maher at 2:15-“you could of died”😂😂
What a rookie
What Billy said about Motley Crue wanting the high of being on stage makes a lot of sense.
I did stand up once and the feeling of hearing people laugh at your jokes is an incredible high. I was on cloud 9 from the minute my set was over and so pumped up after I couldn't sleep until early in the morning. I can totally see why someone who entertains for a living would do drugs. It's not easy to turn it off.
I let a random stranger drop a hit of acid in my eye at a Grateful Dead show, that was not smart but worked out for me 😊
When I was a kid. Buddies and I would have contests, to see who could take the most acid. I made it to 13 over the course of about a weekend. It was summer so we were camping and tripping in the Olympics. Weird times. We knew straight LSD couldn't kill you. It was just a matter of who could handle the trip, best.
It won't kill you but it can make certain people lose their minds... Permanently.
@@ryanjacobson2508 yes, a buddy of mine did. 😔
Bill is high when he does this podcast!
I've always thought it's just because it's accessible and they get carried away with it. I've known people that have said they'd probably be dead by now if they were rich.
Just next level ironic that Bill is sitting there stoned drunk talking about why people do drugs 🤔
Maher is trying to establish that he is the expert on LSD.
I remember that stuff Bill was talking about in college. Weird stuff.
Corgan did the soundtrack to a movie about meth called "spun" It was a great movie and soundtrack
Isn’t it amazing how people can talk so freely about how they did weed now, when we all know it was all bullshit from the beginning to be illegal in the first place?
Looking to replace/carry on that "Performance High" that iconic, brilliant Billy Corgan spoke of is also something athletes seek out as well and is a reason college wrestlers & football players etc tend to overdo it or get in trouble while celebrating the big win.Testosterone,endorphins,Alcohol & ?? can lead to some bad decisions for young men which is why many coaches always speak to their athletes about being responsible after competitions as we did while i was a college wrestling coach
Dopamine levels are super high.
Drugs hit you a lot harder when you are in peak physical shape as well.
When I was a wrestler, smoking weed felt twice as strong as say smoking weed while sedentary
Remember the first time I got puddled. Phish lakewood 99 if memory serves
I love how Bill Maher makes assertions with all the confidence of a sniper rapidly firing off bollocks for ammunition.
LSD has multiple pharmacological routes and forms. It is not always, as he ridiculously asserts, 'always liquid'.
I think just about every industry has a level of it.
I remember one time we did some “poppers”, tee hee hee, that was crazy shit
I think Bill is too accustomed to his HBO show where he's either giving a monolog or the moderator of multiple guests. He doesn't know how to do have a one on one conversation with a person where he actually lets them talk for more than ten seconds without always interrupting and bringing the focus back to him.
Like the Zero sweater
In the end, whatever floats your boat, like the Nike logo states- 'just do it'
This Interview was brutal. I thought Maher had it together.
You can't die from just taking that much LSD. There's no way of knowing the strength for a start, secondly the more you take the longer it lasts. It gets to a point with LSD where it peaks, levels out and you're just in a psychedelic wonderland from there onwards exploring the landscape. You won't get much higher the more you take, it's a bit a myth. So no he couldn't have died just from ingesting the drug, but he could have had an accident whilst under the influence. That's possible.
I've been hit by a car on acid before, it just clipped me but it happened. I was careless and young, but it could have killed me. It's best to have some grounding when diving into these things
The first and only time I have done liquid LSD, was in a squat in London. The squatters were mostly Spanish speakers - most of them were street performers (living statue - clowns - acrobats etc).
I was invited by a barmaid - she met up with me after she finished her shift. She sat next to me and I told her I'd taken 4 drops of liquid Acid so I was tripping - I still remember her look of disgust before she stood up and walked away.
Great night - couldn't stop laughing. London is sh*t though!
May I take a guess ? - 2002 -2005 ; location : a squat in (* sorry !You have already said it was a squat ) Hackney /Dalston . Is that somewhat accurate ?
@@saraivatoledo1842 It would've been there or somewhere close.
I remember it being at least three stories high - to me it looked like an abandoned school.
@@garyphisher7375 That was Dalston , one of the coolest squats I´ve ever been to regularly , I was friends with this dealer called "Grubber " (think he was German if memory serves .). This was one of the major reasons I would be there daily ...also a LOT of mad Eastern European girls.
Crazy squat ...you would walk in and there would always be a lot of different parties in different rooms/ parts of the school . Different sound systems and DJs in different rooms ... did I have some crazy times there ...in hindsight it seems like I dreamt it all such was the dissonance with what was going on outside. K, liquid acid , great Green ...also some hard stuff which I really didn´t care for back then .
You would have to go in through a back door ,right ? Just a few minutes away from Dalston´s train station . It´s London anyways , might be a very similar place somewhere else -the resemblance is striking though .
A guy at a music festival in Australia drank amyl nitrate. RIP.
Bill apparently hasn't done much lsd, or at least the research on it. 😒
When i first seen "This is why Rockstar do drugs w/billy corgan" I thought "How the hell did he do drugs with Jimmy-Janice & Amy winehouse?
Because they don’t have to wake up until noon.
Fuck yeah, that's what happened to me the first time I took LSD. I got puddled. Changed my life.
We called it rush, Bill
Locker Room was the first name I remember. Instead of amyl nitrate it was butyl nitrate. We jokingly referred to it as brutal nitrate...
Never realized that Billy looks physically huge compared to Bill 😮
Billy seems like someone who's never done drugs in his entire life.
also, what is bill talking about "if you drank acid, you'd die"? no one has ever died from acid
Plus you don’t kill anyone if your drum solo is off. If an engineer designs a bridge high and it collapses it kills people. Some people need to be competent.
If I had to sing the same song every night, I'd do drugs, too.
What's the difference between a musician singing the same song every night and an average person getting up to do the same job every day?
@@BackwoodsFilms Depends on the job. If I were required to do the same thing at my job as I did 5 years ago, I'd probably do drugs. Also, you can do your job in different ways, but people want you to sing your hits as they remember them from your album.
