Therapy and drugs?

#

Started by Paddy in General Therapy? Topics

Ive seen it mentioned lots of times about band memebers and possible drug problems around the time of Infernal Love. Does anybody know who it relates to and what substances. I’m just a nosey bast@rd who likes to know these things.

So go on then, spill the beans!!!!!!!!

I think it was widely reported that Andy was fond of cocaine around that time… I think the vast majority of bands dabble at one time or another in some form.

Andy said in an interview once that he was so fucked up on coke one time that he was sitting on a beach talking to geese and they were talking back. I didn’t realise coke had this effect, but there you go.

I think Sister is about having an overdose and wakin up in hospital.Loose is about taking pills.Andy’s often mentioned grass.I think theres a refference to Ketamine somewhere too.
There are few bands who dont dabble, not that this is a bad thing. Look at Ministry, heroin addicts for 22 years, and they have made some fantastic albums.
Theres a speech by bill hicks on the tool Aenima album.Take a listen it’s very funny.

andy was into coke around the infernal love tour. Generally bands and drugs are a good thing. That might sound like a really moronic thing to say, but its true!

“Somebody please get me out of this K-hole” on ‘he’s not that kind of girl’, plus ‘the night we took mad acid’ on ‘six mile water’ also springs to mind.

Andy looks to fat to have ever done much heroin (if any). Just remember what Mr Mckay would say ‘Drugs are bad, mmm’kay?’ Just say no ;)

Christ just look at the sleeves on the Infernal Love album and the singles from it.

All those fake moustaches and sunglasses. it’s just crying for rehab.

And what about the videos for Loose and Diane? It’s about as drugfuelled as Yellow Submarine. :rolleyes:

Recommended reading for the topic of drugs and rock’n’roll:
‘Powder’ by Kevin Sampson, a brilliant novel about the rise and fall of an indie rock band. He seems to have a lot of insider knowledge as he’s worked as manager for The Farm (remember ‘Altogether Now’?!)

MMMM not sure what your sayin, you have to be thin to look like you’ve done heroin? He was a lot thinner circa 95-96. What about the other members, it’s kinda weird that Andy has been singled out. But its not like its a good thing to brag about.For those of us who have done, how many of us go out and say” Hey man last nite I was so fucked on coke” People don’t generally do drugs to tell the tale.(Apart from Hunter.s.thompson.)

Jaegermeister…eerrrrgggghhhh. Made me collapse last week that stuff did. Well, it was a pound for a testube of some weird Jager cocktail. It was like giving a monkey a climbing frame and saying “Leave it alone you!”.

Anyway I heard somewhere years ago that Andy blamed the drugs for him gaining weight around the Semi-detached period- thats not very heroin or pills like is it? Just a thought.

I think Andy was just referring to Disco Bloodbath when he was complaining about the K-hole. Or maybe he listened too much to mr. Molko’s lyrics in which he mention Special K. Or did he read too much of mr. Welsh’ books where everybody seems to take Horse. Why don’t we start a new topic and try to convince him that there really is bad porn?! Or make a poll to find out which Therapy? member has had the most hangovers? Or, no, I know a better one: who is the vomitmaster?

Vaguely recall an interview when Andy said that to join the Subbutteo league that T? and the MSP had, you had to do some coke and shag 2 supermodels, although whether consecutively or concurrently wasn’t made clear.

Next time anyone’s tempted to do coke… take a look around you and try and figure out up whose bottom it might have already been…

Harvey’s Bristol Cream, now that’s the way to go.

Last time I binged on Jägermeister, I ended up threatening one of my friends that I was going to break his jaw for chatting up my ex-gf, punching a mirror with my bare fist, being sick all over myself, getting thrown out of the club we were in and feeling like absolute horse-shit for the next day. I’m glad I don’t drink anymore :)

According to the Scopophobia DVD, when the T? lads’ pre-stage routine consists of “yoga and beer”. I’m guessing it’s really only one of the 2 :)
