I listen to the sound of my heartbeart winding in and out of the words coming from people on CSPAN mixed with the gunshots of the city and the huge all-black block parties that seem to occur EVERY DAY at my front door.
Have to admit, Im hatin on Tool yo. Wu Tang is where its at. I love getting lost in the bass line. Program fat bass lines on innovation. getting drunk like a fuck and duckin five years probabtion. Somehow, my life has become avoiding LEOs for various reasons, listening to hip hop, raising my son in the ghetto and straight being the opposite of what I am trying, a Krsna Concious, peaceful, loving person. But life is not always what you hope it is.
hahahaha I love Wutang...but im more of a rock guy, even if your not a tool fan, you cant deny their innovation and talent. And how their sound can be directly tied in to the psychedelic experience. Alex Grey does their artwork, the guitarist openly talks about his LSD use, the drummer is always raving about DMT, Maynard (lead singer) trips absolute face onstage while they are performing...and if youve ever seen any videos of their live shows you'll know what im talkin about... Dont get me wrong i love all sorts of music form electronica to triphop, underground hip-hop, grunge, some metal, classic rock...but tool is my favorite musical talent of all time, they are more then a band to me
No I know what they are all about, I used to like them when I was like, 12, but I just cant get down with their sound anymore thats all
to each his own my friend...wutang is bombdiggity you should listen to tools new stuff tho...their old stuff isnt psychedelic at all its more grunge metal or not..whatever..i love them, im going to see them in concert in july and trip so hard its going to be insanity...not gonna lie im probably gonna orgasm...glowsticks in hand :-D
Meh, I'm not a huge fan of Tool either. My all time favorite bands/artists are definitely King Crimson, Bowie, and Dylan.
MOSER WOODS is probably one of the best bands to listen to tripping same with grateful deads "Serengetti"
Bob Dylan turned the Beatles on to pot not acid .John and George were turned on by their dentist. Pure Sandoz LSD-25.The original and the best.
Check here what is music for tripping. I get all of your points, but just see and here this when acid is kicking the hardest and you will see what I am talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPkRuWTzI28 Must be listened loud, very, very loud if possible! Enjoy!
I think I had the best trips listening to Hendrix. Especially the album "Are You Experienced". There are so many sounds on this album that are only revealed when having a trip. It's really magical.
I think music with a metaphysical influence is the best. The hardest i ever fryed was while listening to Ambrosia Caprice, (check it out on myspace) and The Fall of Troy (also on myspace). Instrumentals that sound...grand and epic, shit that makes you lose yourself in your mind...
thats definitely a great album to trip to. may this be love is one of my alltime favorites. im also really into pink foyd's early stuff, was never really able to get nto the wall though. im surprised nobodies mentioned rodrigo y gabriela, theyre amazing!
I reckon the best songs to trip while on acid are: Orion by Metallica Mother North by Satyricon Stairway to heaven by Pantera Die Dead enough by Megadeth Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix Iron Man by Black Sabbath Come on Baby light my Fire by the Doors and fucken People = Shit by Slipknot. I dunno if you agree and if you dont thats your choice, but this is MY personal Opinion.
to be honest i never got the beatles thing at all until i saw yellow submarine on acid... OMFG THAT MOVIE IS FUCKING AMAZING ON ACID! for those of you that have not seen the yellow submarine is was completely made by the Beatles and its literally MADE TO FUCK WITH PEOPLE ON LSD. lol.. and it does a damn good job.. haha i never really liked the beatles before then. as for other bands.. The Doors (i like to paint on my walls to the doors on acid) pink floyd (we have animals and dark side of the moon on vinyl) WEEN! ("happy colored marbles" rocks on LSD! next time ur frying look it up on you tube!) the Beatles ("doesn't matter what cords i play or what words i say") Jefferson airplane The Cure (pornography, disintegration, kiss me etc) Apoptygma Berzerk (what ever you can get ur hands on <3) infected mushroom (classical mushroom) shpongle (i personally find them better for mushrooms...) tones on tail (side project by Daniel ash: lead singer of Bauhaus) pendulum massive attack VNV nation Nine inch nails (some songs are too much and reznor gets irritating but some are just so industrial-psychedelic... i cant help it gorillaz (haha.. there really good on acid) mc 900ft jesus (nearly impossable to find on the internet) Mr. bungle (Disco Violante) Poe Space Buddha sneaker pimps 1200 micro grams.. (ha ha!) electric universe
my problem with your point is that i love the doors and have since i was a child.. i grew up with them and love them more than ANY OTHER OLD BAND (were talking pre '75) i love there lyrics and musical comp. it has NOTHING to do with them being popular or the lead singer being cool.. to be honest i think jim morrison needed psyciatiric help... to say the least. as for the beatles i never even liked them until i saw yellow submarine on acid... pink floyd reminds me a lot of tool in there musical attitude and in a lot of ways there style and i was always a huge tool fan... my point is that you cant just assume that because people like those bands that they are being closed minded or superficial about music... the bands that were popular with the psychedelic culture in the 60's were popular for a reason, there music not only was meaningful and deep... but it was DESIGNED to trip you out on lsd! they made it for other battery heads... while i love a lot of new music for tripping as well, i always feel like i am connecting with the psychedelic culture of the past when i listen to the doors or floyd on acid... it really hits me in a meaningful place.
Im a psytrance DJ... i have to say that spinning psytrance on acid is WAY cooler than listening to it.. OMG.. its the only way for someone to feel as tho they are really one with the music. if you ever get a chance to watch someone spin psytrance on acid... do it.. <3 when i first heard infected mushroom on LSD I WAS IN LOVE... i mean it.. i fell in love with psytrance. there is no techno in the world better to me.
psytrance in general does vibrating fat basslines way better than wutang... specailly for acid.. but then again i hate most hiphop... im down with the clown... but not on lsd. lol
Pink Floyds first album Piper at the Gates of Dawn is my favorite album when I trip its like made to be listened to on acid. I cant even begin to explain. Cold Sun's only album Dark Shadows is GREAT too. Any Velvet Underground and oh yeah... GD ANTHEM OF THE SUN!
to be honest for me its pink floyd obviously And stuff like red hot chili peppers Dispite metallica being a metal band, their slow stuff like unforgiven and fade to black are amazing on any psychedelic Mainly just slow acoustic or indi songs that are musically masterful I can't comprehend lyrics too well while high anyways but phrases with many possible symbolisms are great Also some ambient music like tropical rainfall or howls and chirps or waves are amazing
