Drugs and Music

--- Quote from: Kai ---I love that song. Also, Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk is pretty hardcore too.

Everyone gives "Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk" a lot of shit, calling it the worst song on Piper, but I think it's an awesome song. "Doctor, doctor!" First song credited to Waters, too, interestingly enough.
Speaking of Syd Barrett and LSD, apparently he got introduced to the stuff by his friends, who thought it would be a lark to put acid in his coffee. There's some home video type footage I saw in a documentary once featuring Syd tripping the fuck out, rolling around in a field, staring at his hands, and then laughing.
Shame he went so crazy.
Narr:
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver) yet. I believe that man no longer bleeds. Crack pours from open wounds on him as if it were sand.
I really wish he'd stop, you know, doing drugs and getting arrested so he could actually make more music.

--- Quote from: nescience ---Uh, Syd Barrett took a boatload of LSD. Early Floyd (especially Piper) is definitely drug music.

"I'VE GOT A BIKE,
YOU CAN RIDE IT IF YOU LIKE..."
Possibly the most deranged, 'stary eyed junkie' track ever.

Brilliant track. I think that's one of the best examples of his genius, the rhyming in it is fantastic - except for rhyming 'men' with 'man,' but I think that may have been deliberate on his part.
Narr:
Oh, I forgot to mention Red Hot Chili Peppers, especially during the early part of their career. It's not like they've stopped, though. Every time I hear Californication, I think to myself "Holy crap, these guys were so stoned when they wrote this song."
MilkmanDan:
--- Quote from: beat mouse ---whereas if i've been smoking weed i really like to drive around listening to three six mafia or lil flip. (which is probably a deathworthy sin on these boards haha)
--- End quote ---
By "drive around" I'll assume you meant "bounce and swang in my low-low". Because simply driving to Three 6 is a deathworthy sin. Also Gangsta Pat > All other South Hip-Hop.
