GOD FORBID Guitarist On Drugs, Sex And Rock 'N' Roll

GOD FORBID guitarist Dallas Coyle has written the latest entry for his weekly column on MetalSucks, "The Hard R." In this installment, Dallas talks about his experiences living the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle. An excerpt from the blog follows:

"I had always been against cocaine. I thought it was the dirtiest drug ever. I honestly thought black people never did cocaine. I thought it was a rich person's drug and I never knew any rich black people. Oh, was I mistaken! The first time I did cocaine is still one of the most rock 'n' roll things I've ever done. And as most of you know, I'm half black. So, my ideas fell like a glass ceiling.

"Sometimes we'd play at 9:30 in the morning. At 10:30, we'd do signings at the Jager tent. By noon, I was usually hammered as fuck from about 10 shots of Jager and the copious amounts of beer me and the rest of my band ingested. It was so hot you'd sweat it out but there was no shortage of beer. THROWDOWN and BLEEDING THROUGH were straight edge so they gave us all their beer which means every single day our bus would go through about 10 cases of beer and 2 bottles of Jager a day. That's no fucking joke. Thank God for straight edge!

"We were a second stage band and we hung out there mostly. Our bus was the Ozzfest party bus. We'd have about 25-30 girls on our bus a day. SLIPKNOT's road crew would come to our bus to party because we were the ones supplying the tomfoolery and the fun vibe. We were a party band.

"Up until this point I had never seen cocaine in real life. Never before. I never thought about it. I avoided it. But one day I'm hanging with one of my friends from one of the other bands and one of his friends. His friend was a beautiful, down-to-earth woman. She had huge tits and I was just down with hanging. This was summer camp. Everything was on the table. So, my friend from the other band was like, 'Hey, is your bus empty? You got beer?' I'm like, 'Yeah, we always have beer and I'm sure it's empty.'

"We go to the bus and go to the back lounge. I hand out some beers and look at this girl. She takes off her shirt and I'm like, 'What the fuck?' My friend locks the door to the back lounge. This girl takes her bra off, pulls out a bag of cocaine and begins to spread it all over her tits! My friend does a line and I'm like, 'What the fuck? What do I do?' I remember my silent pact. This is about the most rock 'n' roll thing that you can think of. I watch her put some more on her tits, which were beautiful. I kneeled down near her nipple and snorted my first line of cocaine ever. Then I licked the nipple. Crazy, right?"
