drug music without the drugs

Well, there is such music as "stoner rock", also sometimes called "desert rock"- stuff like Kyuss and Brant Bjork. It's some good stuff. Kyuss guitarists use bass amps, nice chunky sound.

 

Same here... I listen to the same bands, go to the concerts... I don't always listen to them or go to the concerts while I'm baked, though that's always a nice plus and it can kind of enhance the style of music...

 

Indeed, the combination is very fine, but it's not the main reason why the music is being made.

 

Oh come on, they dont call the grateful dead a psychedelic band for nothing. All those bands were high or on something when they made that music, especially bands like the grateful dead. What about the acid tests? Raves? Without the drugs these would be near meaningless. I'm still a fan of being sober while listening to music though.

 

'say maybe to drugs', but seriously, is drug music created by people on drugs??!

 

clearly everyone does that but some are "normal" (our 3rd dimension ) only 2 times a month or as me, nearly 80 % of the time i listen music i'm without any drugs... so when i listen music on drugs the effect his even better than somebody who listen always music on drugs...music became normal when you're always high... but it brights more if you use it sometimes...

You never tried pot!?... 60's 70's rock n roll will became a revelation to you when this day will happen...

Until this day came...take a look to the movie "Almost Famous" it's a fabulous introduction to some hidin' rock n roll secrets...

 

wow... you speak good english for a non english speaking person, if ya dig what im sayin, but you still threw me for a loop...

music is what it is... music. it is not meant to be listened to while you are impaired, or while youre walkin the straight and narrow... regardless of your state of mind (excepting most pop) whatever you are listening to has a meaning and that is why you listen to it. or maybe you dig the guitar playing or the funky bass lines... youll like it high or not, so what does it matter?

 

to call something 'drug music' is to drastically sell it short. anything's drug music if you listen to it primarily to aid a drug experience. i know people that like to listen to heavy metal when they take psychedelic drugs, and others like myself that would prefer a cd of buddhist monk chants or sounds of the rainforest. Bands like The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, etc. didn't even make music about drugs--they were writing satires and cries for help about the problems of their times. it was very grim music with a hopeful message attached, and people now label bands like that as being 'stoner bands' because their sound and overall message wasn't to be miserable and depressed, but rather to find a light in the darkness. perhaps the real matter at hand is whether the listener of that music is listening to it to feel secure in a sterotype where they feel like they have a crowd, or because they genuinely relate to the music on an intellectual and emtional level.

 

Ya man, I know you dont believe me but I do

 

you should read about Frank Zappa...

 

I didnt read all of this thread's replies because it all seemed kinda pointless. Drug music is to each their own. Personally i dont like it when im told my music is "drug music." To say something like that is disrespectful almost because it classifies all the greatness of your favorite bands and songs into a genre that most people would find offensive. I personally only consider one album truely intended to explain or glorify psychoactive substances. That album is by a group called 1200 Mics and the album is called 1200 Micrograms. In this album, each track is titled a different type of drug and talks about them in each with a techno or rave background or beat. I personally find them very entertaining but then again i loved drugs soo ya hahah. But anyways. I got off topic. "drug music" if your gonna say that, can mean a whole bunch of things but if your refering to pink floyd and bob marley and those types of bands being listened to without the use of drugs, then id say yes! although listening to music of that nature is very fun and in most cases helping you apreiecate it more, listening without drugs makes me feel as though im high on the music itself. I love pink floyd, and i love velvet under ground, and i love the dead and the airplane and hendrix and all those types, with drugs or without.

holy shit, whats up man, nother dead head from texas

 

There's clearly a lot of metal stoners all 'round us...we're a little colony who want some liberty we want 2become independent from the mass social who govern u, who push always harder upon ourselves... the fact that actually metal is so huge and hippie so tiny is really the reflect of our society...
The Mass got no(t enough) hope for another system (they tried and fail b'fore) ...so frustration will be the way of expression of the mass youth...and metal(stoners or not) eat mostly frustration as dinner and metal is born from frustration of a limited human condition ...

Metal Music is the production of a youth under pressure with only one way to go...everyone got to pass thru the same door...(you've got to take this way son...i told u bohemians rebel time is over)...
They don't see those alternative doors... 30 years and the dust of time make them disappear......at less apparently......maybe drugs can help us in this way...try which alternative way to ride...but there's no guardian at all in those roads...all can happen... (the best) an angel with broken wings who fell from the sky into your st-saviour arms or (the worst) protecting your fragile nose (oh so sensitive!) from the garbage hill you're climbing ...etc...
The Risk is the reason why most people don't want to use those old ways built by the fathers of our father father father's...maybe those way were built with those solid Giant scandinavian hands of the mythologies time....

They always talk of security in those decades.... what they want?
Their fear don't let them live what they dreamed... in fact the reason why our society in overprotected and oversecurised ...is simply the fear of death....it's how i imagine it... everybody want to be immortal.....but the taste of life came partially from the death ...without this end ...maybe after 300 years the man will be used emotionnaly without any place to disconnect for a while...and slowly this condition will become infernal to him......madness is waitin' on the corner of a century somebody who want to live for thousand years...
...Personnaly i don't want to be the mirror of my time... a friend told me recently : "you are dressed as if you were livin' out of time"...and it was a compliment...i just told her "thank you!"

i do. im kinda in the same boat as drumminmamma. weve probably seen between the 2 of us 10000 hippies come and go, doing mass quantities of drugs and ending up strung out or dead or pissed off at good music becase of a dirty scene. but we're still at the shows, and sober, and having a blast with very little drama. and its fun. a great release. theres very few of us really, but theres even fewer hard core partiers that have lasted as long as us.
