Mood also greatly effects my playing, if i'm depressed I usually just don't feel like playing.

I was angry as hell, and played several songs, but my volume somehow kept going up - I don't really remember turning it up, but by the time I was done, the recessed lights in the ceiling were shaking, I shifted a heat lamp and started burning the wood tank, and knocked my pizza straight to the floor...
...All of which pissed me off even more... |

As for not being able to play stoned. I honestly can't remember the last time I picked up my bass sober. Not saying that I couldn't play straight but I haven't in a very long time. Maybe I'll give it a whirl sometime.  |

When I'm mad... Well, let's just say it's good for me that there's no such thing as Bass Protection Services...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Finland | | I generally don't feel like playing too much if I'm sad, but those times you should actually write songs...  I can't say I can't play when I'm sad, but perhaps it's more difficult to concentrate on it then.
If I'm angry, there's nothing like playing drums. Loudly. Same if I have a hungover. (That's true actually! ) It's just sad I don't have a drumset. Playing bass is too little physical work for those angry moments...
