Drugs and Pink Floyd

>>74352961
I totally agree. A lot of the songs people are like, "I love to get high to this!" doesn't make since. Why get high to Animals or Atom Heart Mother? I've never tried weed or anything with Floyd but I think my opinion on Animals or The Wall wouldn't change if I ever was. I went to the new Waters tour and these jackasses in front of me were on acid and were doing some fucked up dance during Breathe, Us and Them and Comfortably Numb. For the duration of the concert they took out their blunts and kept hitting it and then blew it and all the smoke kept going in my face. If it wasn't for the fact that Waters knows how to make a concert entertaining, I would've been pissed.

Fuckin idgits. Worse part is that I'm the only one who can listen to Pink Floyd in my group of friends without blasting my face hard. Truth is, I can't, its not enjoyable. But all my fuckin weed friends just go to roger waters tours and fuck themselves up before going. And they always think they connect so fuckin well with pink floyd. They all think they could easily share a joint with Roger Waters or David Gilmour so easily because they smoke weed.

I agree. Their music is actually so intricate and delicately crafted in some cases that being stoned actually detracts from the experience in my opinion. I'd rather be sober so that I can actually appreciate the craft. Sure, something like Breathe is relaxing while high, but can you really absorb the full wonder of Echoes while you don't really know what's going on? I don't think so.

I got into Pink Floyd when I was 12 or 13. Never drank or did drugs. 4.0 student. I just really loved their music. Years later, I listened to Animals (my favorite Floyd) on weed, and it was a different experience, but not necessarily better. I just focused on things more acutely...and then ate an entire box of Little Debbies, and washed it down with Strawberry Quick. heh. Anyway, NO. You don't need drugs to enjoy music. If it's great music, it doesn't necessarily make it better. Just different.

See this is what I mean, don't get me wrong I've tried weed and sometimes do it but rarely (lmao its gonna be legal in Canada next year) and like you aren't one of those irritating fans, just some bloke who tried weed and PF before, like me.

You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, but you need Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs.

It's just a different experience, but weed is the plebbiest drug.

Listen to Pink Floyd under the influence of Magic Mushrooms or LSD. It's fucking beautiful. When I'm listening to music while sober, I feel like I'm not fully "immersed" in the experience, if you know what I mean. There are songs/albums that were made especially to "trip", like The Magical Mystery Tour from The Beatles.

I wish I was joking because this is so dude weed but it sounded so fucking good man. DSOTM has an atmosphere and you get really pulled in when you're high. That's really the benefit of weed, you immerse yourself in the song. However, the highs weed have given me have not been worth the lows weed and other drugs have given me. Don't do drugs, not worth it. No sarcasm.
