I'm at like 21 min on Echoes right now.

Man, what a jam. I was somehow singing the guitar playing in it. Intresting.

I actually didn't know that. That would be a pretty aweful thing to do to someone...

It was pretty commonplace back in those days. For example, the Who were unwillingly tripping for about 24 hours before their performance at Woodstock because of people doing that.

Were they still tripping by the time they got onstage?

I think they were either finished or on the way down.

I can't imagine The Who on drugs. It just seems weird.

That was the thing back then...it's just how it was

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]I can't imagine The Who on drugs. It just seems weird.[/QUOTE]

Entwistle and Daltrey never/rarely got involved, and Moon didn't do as much as you might think. Townshend smoked a lot of pot and did some more psychedelic drugs until late 1967 when he had a terrible experience and decided to give them up. All the acid at Woodstock was taken involuntarily.

Didn't Entwhistle die from a coke overdose or something?

Sex + Drugs + Rock and Roll = Da Bomb back then.

Just like I said a minute ago. And it's really too bad

Yea, I was referring to psychedelic drugs and the group in the 60's (sorry for the confusion). I'm sure they did plenty of coke later in their career.

they didn't do lots of drugs but I think they did drink quite a bit

[QUOTE=Kingofdudes]The people he lived with spiked his coffee and other drinks with LSD without him knowing.[/QUOTE]

LSD must have been alot less expensive back then. Not many people would do that nowadays just because you have to pay so much to get it.

Right....

I swear officer

Yeah in the late '70s The Who had major drug problems. Like Lunch said, I don't think they did too much in the '60s but in the 70's, Townsend, Entwistle, and Moon all had serious drinking problems. Moon died from pills he was taking to stop his alcoholism. I think John's death a few years ago was caused by alcohol, and Townsend has come very close to dying multiple times from alcohol and numerous other drugs. I don't really know anything about Daltrey and drugs.

Pink Floyd didn't really do any drugs, which is kind of surprising because their music is often considered "drug music". I mean Syd did his LSD and stuff, and I think Roger did acid occassionally and Mason did some coke but I think Gilmour and Wright were pretty clean.

Bands back in the late 60's, sadly, never would have been as good as they were if they hadn't taken all the LSD and pot. But it wasn't all the band members who would do drugs. Take Pink Floyd as an example. Everyone did drugs, but Syd Barett was the only person who was seriously addicted. Syd Barett wouldn't have been so drugged anyways but some of his so called "friends" would put acid in his food and his water when he didn't know, so that he would take more drugs while he was already on a trip.

/going off the drug topic now

I just watched the 'Classic Albums' DVD on Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon.' It was great. Anyone else seen it?

Yeah it's kind of ironic that they were clean for the most part(besides Syd) seeing as how the made some of the best music to chill to.

I'd say that is false for the most part. It wasn't that the music would suffer if no one did drugs, it's just that the overall style of the time period would be different. Although drugs clearly influenced some great songs/albums in that time, I'd say the real talent of that era would still have produced quality music with or without the drugs. Again, only the styles would be different.

I would love my friends to drug me with LSD. :D

When acid was legal believe it or not the army would give random people LSD at bars and study their reactions.

I agree with this statment

is that really true shyma?

Just to varrify, Syd did so much acid he would trip 2 and 3 times a day. Roger did acid once and didn't like it, but drank quite often and smoked pot rarely. Mason drank often too. Gilmour and Wright were the ones who smoked pot fairly regularily. (out of Mason's book.)

I can understand that, because I saw an interview about DSOTM with Gilmour and he took lots of pauses and just looked like he was high.

Where did you see this?

It was on VH1's "I Love the 70's" but I don't know which year

Could of been off Live in Pompeii. Dave definitly looks high in a few interviews on that DVD.

Mmm, DSOTM is sooo good on a late Saturday night.

L8: Are you sure LSD is expensive? I'm sure chemists have come up with easier, more effective methods of concocting this drug,(and pretty much anything else) which would make it a fraction of the cost now than it was then.

Unless you're setting inflation aside, then of course it would have been cheaper 40 years ago.

Pot's really cheap but I've never/will never/try it

I think Dave was main;y a drinker. HIm and Roger

Dave didn't drink much. He did weed. Roger and Nick were the drinkers. According to Saucerful of Secrets, at least.
