Bands that were off their heads on drugs but made great music
https://youtu.be/lVIev94s7Mo
Jane's Addiction , blew poodle haired glam rock out of the window
Although considering how much heroin and crack they were using it's amazing they are still alive

they were off their heads - whether it was drugs was another matter. Amazing Live - Blur cite them as a major influence as do Napalm Death, Radiohead and Marillion to name but a few. Had the privilege of seeing them live a long time ago - will never forget it - what a riff

Sweet emotion is a fantastic song

The story is that for Their song "In the garden of Eden"
But they were so high/drunk when they tried to record it, all they could mumble was
"inna gadda da vida", and it stuck.

I saw them at The Astoria in London in early '91. I didn't think they were that good to be honest

Re: Bands that were off their heads on drugs but made great music
All of the truly great 60s bands produced great music whilst off their collective trolley. Off the top of my head: Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Love, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Traffic, and the Moody Blues. Probs loads I have forgotten here. Also Hawkwind were off their tree on LSD when they produced a lot of their best 70s music.
