Lucifer Sam-
Directions-
1) Trip Out on some serious acid.
2) Sneak around your room and pretend to be James Bond.
3) Repeat.

I love this album, it has an amazing charm that draws me in every time...

"Unfortunately, Syd Barrett was fired from the band after overdosing on LSD"


I'm sorry, it was a good review and everything but if only you knew how stupid the above sentence sounds to someone who isn't living under a rock. Overdosing on LSD is physically impossible, and it's not even what happened to Syd if that was the case. He was (reluctantly) fired due to unstable mental behaviour.

He didn't mean overdosing physically, he meant mentally, which is one of the few dangers of LSD. He literally LSD'd himself into insanity, thoguh some claim his mental breakdown was inevitable anyway.

I'm always confused after I listen to this album. It seems like a lot of wanking without any real point. Weird for the sake of being weird.



And yes, PATGOD was recorded at the same time as pepper's, and the members of Pink Floyd have said that they listened to what the music that was coming down the hall and tried to copy it.

This album is interesting in parts, but nonetheless mainly serves as a primer as to why I should not ever do shit like LSD.

You don't have to do drugs to enjoy music made on drugs, just try to feel it, if it's mellow go with it, if it's off the wall go with it.

That's not what he's saying. He said he finds it boring anyway, and pretty much views it as a reason not to fuck with acid.

You know Jimmy, I think you'll find most psychedelic music is just wanking around. I quite like this album, but some of the jams can be a bit monotonous.

And where/when did the members of the band say they were ripping off the Beatles? Yes, they were both made at Abbey Road, but the styles of the two albums are really quite different. Pepper's is merely a pop album (A very good pop album). PATGOD is a true psychedelic record. The ideas behind the songwriting process of each band were different. Paul McCartney an John Lennon wrote catchy pop songs with devilishly addictive hooks. Pink Floyd wrote 9 minute trip-outs based around manic jam sessions. The plagiarism card just doesn't work for me.

Unless of course, Roger and the guys actually did admit to ripping them off, in which case my argument is complete balls.

Most every psychedelic band owes alot to the Beatles, but I don't see much resemblance, not to the degree you're speaking of. As he said^, you've got one band that writes hooks, and another one that drones on for twenty or so minutes.
