>>570299You don't get good music from people with their ducks in a row.
But with grunge, it seems focused on the frontman.
Would Soundgarden or AIC be anything without their fucked-up frontmen?
Look at thrash metal. Everyone who's gone clean is making shit music now.
I know I "feel" rock music most either while I'm spun or crashing, or tripping.
I'm mostly sober in life FWIW, but music connects with me and my mind best when I'm "fucked up" as it were.
So what can one do? There are no good sXe acts. That is an objective fact.
But substances can and will ruin you if you lose control.
