i seriously believe that he's telling the truth. pink floyd didn't take drugs! all of my friends are opposed to that theory, but i don't care...i truly believe the floyd didnt do it. which is ironic because their music is some of the most "trippy" music out there....
@jmhall97 I agree with you,there music is very trippy but I still don't think they did drugs & tbh ive never understood why people say you have to be blazed to enjoy their music ive never smoked weed or done any other drug in my life and pink floyd is my favourite band,but I gotta agree with you on that one my freind.
I am not arguing with you guys, you want proof look up on youtube Roger Waters, Richard Wright interviews on Syd Barrett. Watch "Which Ones Pink" documentary, Read Nick Mason's book. The facts are there, yes they used to smoke weed as seen here, but they didn't dabble into psychedlics as most people believe....it was a myth....
um. what he means is that lsd is not a drug, syd barrett got into *drugs* after being into clean lsd and it destroyed him and the band's image.
the whole interview about how the "equipment couldn't control itself" and it "isn't thinking of what to do any of the time" is ABOUT......
how they are the equipment, and lsd is the musician. it is surrender to a higher consciousness with humility rather than one's personal agenda, that's why they sound like one breathing machine.
other than Syd the Floyd were not into psychedlics (Acid, mushrooms) as much as everyone thinks. Waters and Mason have admited to never talking LSD.They all smoked pot (but who didn''t then) However Rick has said he only like to take one or two puffs off a joint every now and again it really made him parnoid. They all pretty much stopped doing any drugs in the mid to late 70's, except for Gilmour and Wright who had brief affair with cocaine in the 80's.
@Deltarogers you're extremely foolish, you should be embarrassed. lol
just because the
Last
Sunlight
Disappears
from the world doesn't mean they fell off
what's mind boggling is how people believe this, as if Floyd thought psychedelics were too "heavy" when their fans were eating 250+ mics and sitting in dark rooms listening to them on headphones for hours on end
really? we had more balls at age 14 than Pink Floyd, who made Dark Side of the Moon?? lsd is THE COVER of the album.. duhhh..
@Deltarogers yo have to be a moron to think anyone in PINK FLOYD were too paranoid to handle smoking a joint, that;s supposed to be EXTREMELY FUNNY, I mean if you're not a moron.. you think Pink Floyd has the substance-use profile of a 13-year old schoolgirl whose "boyfriend smokes weed but I can't handle it"? WOW.
Even after "Things are not what they seem", "The words had different meaning" and.. ..... "the Last Sunlight Disappears"? and um the film La Valee? ROCLMAO ;)
@BeechwoodSilasLang he doesn't look that stoned, and his pupils are not dilated. there are clips of him and Waters in early Trouser Press magazine from '75 where their pupils are bulging out of their eyes and they're sweaty like they're drenched with lsd. you maybe have to be them to discover what.... superhero cartoons were about: LOOKING normal in real life
people are so gullible in both directions.. either they "don't get high" or they're "always high". They were TOO high to be visible.
@candymanego yes it most certainly is, much like you have to open your eyes to see. it's hidden music, buried mathematics, deeply woven continuity of phrasing which needs encoding Agents to fully hear, experience and comprehend. don't fool yourself, just be where you are and be comfortable not daring to reach for what they were reaching for. but please don't imagine that you get it, they laugh at people like you, that's what the Wall is about.
I never liked drugs when I was a teen in the 80's. I was an alchohol kid., I liked to drink. But whenever I got stoned, it was always Floyd that I ran to!! Listening to The Wall from Start to Finish stoned out of my brain is a good memory!! Especially daves solos!! I brought Animals on cassette to Yosemite in 1987 and it was perfect background music!!
@zeprock70 OK first off David Gilmour said he thinks Syd would have gone crazy regardless of psychedelics and he was on that path any way. And yeah, sure, they probably weren't as heavy users as Syd, but who was? There's a big difference between "uses less drugs than syd barrett" and "stayed away from drugs". The fact that they made an acid-inspired album to begin with speaks to their use; i don't think they would have followed Syd down that path if they didn't like it.
@zeprock70 its my favorite band too, that means nothing when their actions should be clear. Also its not your "opinion" that they never used drugs, its either true or it isn't.
I highly doubt that they used drugs. With the knowledge that it fucked Syd and the fact that did so much homage to him, they couldn't have. I'd be a little bit sad if they did.
He reads the interviewer to see his reaction...and then he plays a little bit of a mind game. See if he denies that they smoke or do drugs...then people will WANT to disbelieve them. If he admits to it...than they lose their mysterious status and are labeled a druggy band. David had no choice but to answer that question in that manner...I think the truth is that they experimented with ethnogens on occassion. Most people are incapable of tripping on a regular basis, except Syd Barret.
"not so bad". to this day, thats one question i would ask gilmour, which is wut was the drug use during the years of pink floyd. lol im hoping alot of acid and weed
Roger Waters said they took acid several times in the sixties, and sometimes had a puff of the "occasional joint" and nothing more. This is quite ironic, given the fact that their music is considered to be the ultimate stoner music ;)
It's true, whether or not they did drugs does not partain to the question, they still weren't " drug orientated group". There music wasn't about drugs. I've heard rumors that they used to take sheets of acid, but then again those are just rumors(well Syd might have but who the fuck knows)
i just know that the music is awesome to get high with i used to smoke weed and listen to pink floyd and it was awesome the first time i took acid my friend put pink floyd in the car fuck that was too intense man i even got scared lol
Were the Floyd a drug orientated group? Well, if they would have continued with Syd absolutely. But we all know where Syd finally ended up. I feel David was a BLESSING to Pink Floyd, if it wasnt for him, I dont feel they would have received such notoriety and phenomenal sound!
Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen....I drink mostly and don't even do drugs...but those are the eyes of the most red and fucked up kind .saying "we don't do drugs...you can trust us.." simply incredible, genuine, and meant to be.
@dreamwebs I disagree if you watch the whole video (live at Pompeii) they seem to be very coherent I am not saying that they didnt do any drugs I just think that many people think they did way more than they did because of syd and how people like to listen to them high but who really know how much they did
haha...he says with an evil smile...whether they are drug oriented or not...there's only one band I would put on the old 8 track as I smoke a fatty....and that's the floyd!
i seriously believe that he's telling the truth. pink floyd didn't take drugs! all of my friends are opposed to that theory, but i don't care...i truly believe the floyd didnt do it. which is ironic because their music is some of the most "trippy" music out there....
