LSD is why Syd Barrett got kicked out of Pink Floyd. He got high once and locked his gf in a closet for three days, feeding her nothing but crackers.
They did loads of LSD in their early days, but Barrett took it one step to far.

P.S.
You should find a copy of a CD called The Dub Side Of The Moon. A tripped out dub version of the classic, totally owsome stuff.
If I remmember correctly, they recorded a bong and placed it at the beginning of Brain Damage.. or was it Money?


The cash registers are replaced by someone sucking a bong and coughing.

Thats right!
Now I remmember.. I need to see if I still have my copy of it, its totally awsome.

Nevermind, I'm going off topic.



Now when I think about it, ambient artists like Thomas Koner would be graet drug music.

I think the biggest difference is in what drug you're taking while listening to the band. 60s-70s psychedlic bands like Floyd, or the Doors, would be much better left to, gasp, psychedelic hallucinogens, 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)

Any kind of crazy psych drug I like to listen to music like Porcupine Tree, Gentle Giant, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Dillinger Escape Plan, PsyOpus, anything that's really hectic and put together bizarrely.

If I'm chilling after a sesh though, I like to put on rap music, MF Doom, Madlib, even DJ Shadow fits the bill, anything that is really well produced comes through awesomely on a good sound system and makes the experience just that much more enjoyable.

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

I love that song. Also, Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk is pretty hardcore too.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

Actually, the thing about Syd Barrett is that most of the acid he took wasn't even intentional.  Once Pink Floyd gained a following, people started to treat him as a musical genius who only "worked" while he was tripping and they'd feed him the stuff at every opportunity they had.  It wasn't like he wanted to always be high, it's just that his friends thought he made his best music while he was tripping and whenever anyone was hanging out with him they'd slip him acid.  He was pretty much always on the stuff and it wasn't even intentional, which is probably the reason why he had such a bad reaction to it.  I think it's safe to say that there are people who took as much LSD as he did without going nuts the way he did.  The Grateful Dead, for instance, spent the first portion of their existance playing music all day long (literally ... they were practicing as if it were their full-time jobs because it was how they paid their rent) during the weekdays and taking acid every weekend.  And anyone who's ever taken acid can tell you that doing it every week is completely ridiculous.

The other legend is that Syd Barrett actually took a shot glass of acid once.  A single drop administered by microdropper can sned someone some very strange places, so a shot glass is downright scary.

I'm ridin spinnaz, and they don't stop. and the name you're looking for is Project Pat, or Gangsta Boo :o

edit- though i'm gonna argue and say that considering Project Pat and Dj Paul pretty much make the music for everyone in the bay area, it's hard to really decide. Houston and ATL both have some huge names that could contend, but I'm totally agreeing with memphis being the top.

Listening to Boards Of Canada feels like a euphoric trip, Pink Floyd feels like a bad trip.

I love minimalistic tranc-y techno, in the Richie Hawtin vein, and absolutely adore good Acid House, yet I've never consumed anything harder than a few shots of bad vodka.

Irony is a very hard thing to display over the intra-webs. Cause looking at your post, you could totally get the idea you were saying it's totally drugtastic.


Remember!  Everything on the inter net is somehow sarcasm.

I think you'll find that Gangsta Pat is most definately the name I was reaching for. Project Pat is good, but as already mentioned, Gangster Pat is better. Just check out 'Deadly Verses'. Allmusic says it's meh, but they are incorrect. That seems to be pretty hard to find, so here's a lil taster:

Also, Memphis 4 lyfe. Well, as Memphis 4 lyfe as I can get having never actually been to America, and prefering motherfucking DJ Screw to any Memphis production.

if you look, the record he's scratching is going back and forth, where as the other maintains normal spinning :D
