That's sad... I love their music, unfortunately it's true of many of the most popular musicians today, great records but not so great live.

They're really disappointing live. I tried to give them the benefit of doubt and went to see them a second time. It was still just sheer disappointment. It'd probably help if they did less heroin before performing. Probably...

In the studio, they're absolutely brilliant. Their songs can be a great challenge to cover.

On the other hand - I've managed to cover them in live performances and done just fine. I cheat and tune a specific guitar ahead of time, toss it in the rack, and then just switch. I do less heroin than they do before performing!

I used to drink (a lot ) and gig, I always though we sounded great, as the crowds dwindled. I came to understand that was not the case. The first time I did a gig stone cold sober was a traumatic experience.

I perform sober.

As a general rule, I do.

I may have a shot or two, and maybe a beer with me up on the stage, but never intoxicated.

I have performed shitfaced. I have performed extremely shitfaced. It ain't pretty - for anyone. I owe the audience a good show. They're my boss and they deserve quality work.

Now, I have been known to give the audience a completely extra set while we were all drinking, calling friends and family to come play with us on the stage, and generally having a giant jam session that just happened to have an audience...

You can get away with that at certain times and with certain audiences.
