Lucretia My Reflection - cover by Destroid (originally by the Sisters of Mercy)

Such a great version. There's one line in the song, "hot metal and methedrine."
So I guess that's enough to make it on this list.

Oh, and "Sue" by Brian Jonestown Massacre - about a junkie chick.

I'll even put the video in here so y'all don't have nary an excuse to not listen to the song.



Oh oh, and "Totally Wired" by The Fall



This song captures the essence of amphetamines if any does, this one does.

You don't have to be weird to be wired.
You don't have to be strange to be strangled.
When the goin' gets weird, the weird go pro.

Elliott Smith - Needle In the Hay (or any Elliott Smith song, really)
Nico - Chelsea Girls (also the Velvet Undeground, obviously)
Bright Eyes - Spent On Rainy Days
Perfume Genius - AWOL Marine (not about needles, but it's about a guy going gay for pay to buy drugs for his wife)
Cat Power - Lived In Bars

There are so many, but those are a few that come to mind.

I had the pleasure of being
In Layne Staley's presence ~10 times
Hey used to party in New Orleans
And back in those days
Hero1 was the dude to contact
If you wanted to party in New Orleans

I REALLY HATED using ANY of his songs
In this thread
B/c he was SO MUCH MORE THAN AN ADDICT
He was a true artist thru and thru
Have you ever seen any of his ink drawings?
Or listened to Mad Season- Above?
He wrote that whole album

The Black Crowes "She talks to Angels"

"she dont mention the word addiction in certain company"
"She got her eyes black as night now, and she pulls the shades down tight, she got a smile now when the pain comes, oh the pain, the pain gonna make everything all right
and she says she talks to Angels, she says they cal her out by name..."


That's one of hero's songs to me

I know that most people don't think of Don Henley when they think of songs about addiction/ drugs, but his lyrics to "The Genie" knock it out of the park and absolutely tell my own story....minus the famous musician who used to be a part of The Eagles part of it!

Is this what you wanted?
Did you even think twice?
Didn't they tell you that anything that feels this good
Comes with a price
It gave you such a rush
Now you think you've had enough
It's not that easy to walk away
This is the hard stuff

You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
You can't get the genie back in the bottle
And everything matters, everything matters
Every little thing you do

That smoldering tingle under your skin
That sweet, delicious, but not-so-original sin
And when the world becomes too little or too much
The shadow mind contrives
The triumph and the tragedy that we invite into our lives
And Adam glanced back at the tree
As he was leaving
Said, ¡°Baby, that's the price we pay
Knowing is grieving

(chorus)

And the past comes back to smack you around
For all the things you thought you got for free
For the arrogance to think that you could somehow
Defy the laws of gravity
These are lessons in humility
Penitence for past offenses
Consequences, consequences

(chorus)

Ummm, I D K about "Genie" knocking Gil Scott Heron "Home is Where the Hatred Is" out of the ballpark..   IN fact, I'd put money on this track blowing all others out of tha ballpark



"Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams
Home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams
Home is where the needle marks
Try to heal my broken heart
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never, if I never went home again"

Daughter of Dionysus- wait what!! You have me like foaming at the mouth I would honestly love to hear any and all stories you have on him and that New Orleans situation! And to be honest no I didn't know that much about mad season or his art. I fell in love with the band because even though it might sound weird but his voice kinda reminded me of Jim Morrison with the feel mellow feel and the loud raspy tone and The Doors were always my favorite. I haven't read anything beyond his wiki page where it did say he loved art and would sit in his apartment make art and get fucked up. Seeing him play live was always my favorite as he was always so god damn amazing (on YouTube on course) I will check out Mad Season and please please any cool info or stories you have to enlighten me on my ignorance would be awesome! Also on a side note I think I saw you say something along the lines of not liking Jerry Cantrell which I would love to know why as I have never heard a negative thing about him and I know he did write a lot of the songs for AIC but then again I love their music but don't have tooooo much knowledge on the band itself outside of their albums.

I don't like Jerry 'can't tell' Cantrell b/c he was running to their manager, Susan Silverman, and saying that he was trying his best to get Layne clean when in fact he wasn't. He was just telling Susan that so that he could have more control over the band.

He was referred to as 'can't tell' Cantrell b/c you could never tell what kind of mood he was going to be in. Nor could you ever tell if he would play Layne's "friend" or be his natural dick self.

I also think it was a douche move for him to sue Layne's Mom for the rights to the name Alice in Chains (Layne thought of that name, Jerry wanted to call it Alice n Chains) only so he could replace the singer. I'm sorry but you can replace a guitar player but there is no way you can replace Layne's voice.

Some of these things I know from Layne himself.

Think about the line "New Orleans gotta get, pin cushion, medicine"
Where do you think that line came from?

I'm not gonna use this thread for stories about Layne

(Wow this is the first time in the history of opiophile or this site that I have postd like this)

Google AIC HEADBANGERS BALL NEW ORLEANS CEMETARY
That happens to be the cemetary that hero's grandma is burried in

Jerry claims to love Layne and goes on and on about how they were brothers which is bullshit. Layne hated Jerry. For a very good reason. Layne actually wrote most of those songs but when Jerry was running back and forth to Susan he convinced her to give him writing credit b/c if Layne were to get ALL that money he'd just kill himself (which is how he convinced columbia and Susan)

hero asked me not to go into it anymore b/c he knew Layne for quite sometime.

Interesting...thanks for the insight though very cool! Seems fucked up though as I never heard of that side of Jerry before nor have I really looked though. One more question if at all possible? Did you guys know Demri Parrott and see first hand their relationship or was that before you guys linked up? Understand if you guys don't want to answer but cool stuff non the less....slightlyyy jealous!!

Layne only brought Demri to New Orleans two or three times

A lot of people don't know that side of Jerry
But I heard it from Layne
So I'm sure none of that shit is on the interweb

A Perfect Circle – Weak And Powerless

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace
And some peace of mind
Whatever, just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you
