Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sometimes, but it could be just the enjoyment of the music combined with the enjoyment of the drunken state. So you're not really enjoying the music any more per se, you're just getting an extra body high. I know after a few shots of Jack Tennessee Fire, everything seems better.

Bespin 8,472 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I can't listen to whatever type of classical music when I'm drunk, it annoys me. JW's music too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Drunk, no. Stoned or high? It depends. If you're on the right high, then listening to E.T. or TFA is an unparalleled experience. A powerhouse of emotion and beauty. The effects of marijuana slow down the music, so you can savour every note, and more clearly hear what's going on in between the notes. But it's not a casual experience.

nightscape94 965 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Not sure if I'm in the minority here, but on the rare occasion I get plastered it never occurs to me to listen to music. It's the only time music doesn't really cross my mind. Don't think I can listen to it if my mind is racing around or distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only time music doesn't really cross my mind. Don't think I can listen to it if my mind is racing around or distracted. I'm mostly the same, at least in terms of intent listening. When I get drunk (or am in the process of getting drunk), all that works is beat-based popular music, from metal like Rammstein or hardhitting psytrance and goa. Maybe some 80s electropop. Stuff like that. John Williams' music -- regardless of style -- rarely serves any purpose in that state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 JW is great when you're blazed, but probably only if you're by yourself. I fell in love with Tintin in such a circumstance. I also discovered the layering of Rey's theme with the Force theme at the end of Jedi Steps/Finale while walking home from the pub about a week after I got the soundtrack. Blew my little mind.

crumbs 14,287 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Only happens a few times a year, but I quite enjoy cracking open a vintage bottle of red, reclining in my comfy lounge chair, then blasting Lapti Nek at full volume out my windows.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Orchestral music and more intricately written pop I don't like to listen to at all when I've imbibed. That said, I'll cop to some embarrassing solo drunken singalongs to entire Randy Newman albums in my younger days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeardedTrio 5 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I listen to John Williams practically everyday. His music is my comfort blanket. Hard day at work? Nothing like listening to Journey to the Island to put a smile on your face. Saying that, I can't deny that on the weekend it is a little of my life's luxuries to have a glass of whiskey and coke, headphones on and relax to random soundtracks. The majority in my collection are John Williams. A perfect Sunday evening for me. Rob Cerebral Cortex and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,159 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I once, years ago, decided I had to finish some programming task drunk. Couldn't get it to work and gave up after a while, but left the PC running. Looking through the undo history the next day was hilarious.
