MickeyBreezy	Date: November 25, 2004 @ 1:10 AM well, on occaision, u might have 2 stop what ur doin n sniff a little bit. also, depending on how strung out u are, u might experience quivering, which could lead 2 a negative affect on vocals, but u never kno. my best is advice would b 2 try it 4 urself...i did.
chazcountry	Date: November 25, 2004 @ 1:32 AM Actually more interested in the vocal chords being affect...but appreciate the input
onewhodreams	Date: November 25, 2004 @ 2:59 AM Yes, I'm sure it does. For one it will dry out your vocal chords and since your mouth might feel a bit numb, depending on how exactly you took the Cocaine, it may be difficult to sing well. I would also think that it would either add or take away from your performance on stage. For me personally I would not feel comfortable being high like that and singing in front of a live audience.
chazcountry	Date: November 25, 2004 @ 2:49 PM Good info.... Actually, the original article came from something I ran up on online about an english artist... In short it concluded in saying even short term usage of snorting Cocaine would stress vocal chords, and long term use would eventually lead to what is actually compaired to a torn ligament, the vocal chord being stressed to no repair. So, I was actually courious about it.

hueseph	Date: November 25, 2004 @ 10:25 PM That's because the beer you drank counteracted the coke. Drugs in general don't help a performance in any way. They might enhance your creativity for a while but in the long run they tend to just slow you down and your general peseption of your performance becomes skewed because you're high. Ahem. Speaking from experience.

chazcountry	Date: November 26, 2004 @ 1:03 PM So, after careful deduction, I think it safe to say, do it if you wish, but not during performance...why take the chance of ruining the talent we all cherish!
