[You can invite three musicians to a dinner party..]

I'd prefer to eat alone, but I might want to invite Vivaldi and Beethoven, just to give them a big nice shock when they see the 21st century. Hmm, yeah, I think I would do that

[RIP Mom]

Sorry to hear that My neighbour just died because of cancer, just yesterday. It's not easy to see those you love pass away, but that's something which most of us will just have to experience... sigh, but yeah... my condolences again

[Examples of Crappy Distorted Guitar Tone]

Grr, Painkiller ... Ok, hmm, what was that band... Dragonforce! oh yeah, some people say their guitarists are very good but I just hate their sound, it's not playing at all... you know, just like radio when you try to search for the channels... hideous, yough!

[Heroin and the great guitarists]

If you beat drug addiction, you're a hero.

If the drugs kill you, you're turned into a "tortured genius" icon;  elevate to god-like status

If you say "No" to drugs,  you're a loser.  We'll do a different show about people like you.

Lol, that's exactly how it goes, at least the two first one, third is not so true, but then again I'm sure that was somekind of a joke or sarcasm. I appreciate musicians who don't use drugs many times more than those who use it. I've never used drugs, don't even smoke or never even used to do that. Not going to use drugs either, it's just so stupid, I think.

[Heroin and the great guitarists]

Yes, many of these great musicians were great allready before they used heroin so it's not about heroin, but heroin may give you an inspiration, it brings a new world for you. The Beatles used a lot of LSD when they made their best songs, but it's still not worth trying out. You might instead try if you can get your inspiration when sleeping and drugs might just be an escape from reality to those "real geniuses."
