It's Monday morning, which means it's time for another edition of#AskNitaAnything! This week I talked about guitar heroes, alcohol at work, envelope filters and more. Check it out here and let me know what you all think as always!! http://nitastrauss.com/pick-brain-monday-dec-1-2014/
GinaX: Can you talk about drinking and stuff? Is it better to drink or not to drink? There may be pros and cons to both, but I’d like to know from your experience. Thanks
My favorite subject! Haha! It’s no secret that I like to drink. But over the years, and especially in the gig I have now, I’ve learned the importance of moderation. This may not be right for everyone, but here’s my opinion: on days off or after the show, if you want to go out and have a drink or 5 (which I generally do), that’s up to you! Just don’t show up to the gig drunk or hungover, and if you get sloppy on tour prepare to hear about it from your band members and crew for a long time. Know your limitations and adhere to them. As far as drinking on stage goes, one or two is great to loosen up and relax before performing, but be prepared to play without that “liquid courage” if you’re in a band that calls for it. You never want to “HAVE” to drink. Drinking is supposed to be fun, not a responsibility!
That being said, I just did a quick google search and I guess I’m not exactly one to talk about not drinking on the job. http://nitastrauss.com/pick-brain-monday-dec-1-2014/
