History of Psychedelic Rock 迷幻樂的歷史

Part 5

中文字幕

Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that attempts to replicate the mind-altering experiences of hallucinogenic drugs. It emerged during the mid 1960s among garage and folk rock bands in Britain and the United States. Psychedelic rock is a bridge from early blues-based rock to progressive rock and heavy metal, but it also drew on non-Western sources such as Indian music's rāgas and sitars.

While the first contemporary musicians to be influenced by psychedelic drugs were in the jazz and folk scenes, the first use of the term "psychedelic" in popular music was by the "acid-folk" group The Holy Modal Rounders in 1964, with the song "Hesitation Blues."[citation needed] The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to The Deep, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Moods of the Deep. Roky Erickson, lead singer of The 13th Floor Elevators, coined the term 'psychedelic rock' in a 1966 interview.
In 1962, British rock embarked on a frenetic race of ideas that spread back to the U.S. with the British Invasion. The folk music scene also experimented with outside influences. In the tradition of Jazz and blues many musicians began to take drugs, and include drug references in their songs. Beat Generation writers like William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and especially the new exponents of consciousness expansion such as Timothy Leary, Alan Watts and Aldous Huxley profoundly influenced the thinking of the new generation. In late 1965, The Beatles unveiled their brand of psychedelia on the Rubber Soul album, which featured John Lennon's first paean to universal love ("The Word") and a sitar-laden tale of attempted hippy hedonism ("Norwegian Wood", written by John Lennon). The British rock act The Yardbirds recorded the single "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" in 1966, another track frequently cited as the first psychedelic song, this one due to its frantic evocation of drug-induced paranoia.

Psychedelia began in the United States' folk scene with New York City's Holy Modal Rounders introducing the term in 1964.[citation needed] A similar band called Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions from San Francisco were influenced by The Byrds and the Beatles to switch from acoustic music to electric music in 1965. Renaming themselves the Warlocks, they fell in with Ken Kesey's LSD-fueled Merry Pranksters in November 1965, and changed their name to the Grateful Dead the following month.[citation needed] The Dead played to light shows at the Pranksters' "Acid Tests", with pulsing images being projected over the group in what became a widespread practice.

BECAUSE SYD DIDN'T WANT TO FAKE ON A PLAYBACK. That's all Roger. And you know it perfectly... So come on, don't push him down like that. No good without Syd and no Pink Floyds without the trip. Or it would have been a little bit more... Classical.

In the live world-wide broadcast of "All You Need is Love', there is a person there holding a sign that says, "come back willie". I've wondered about this since I was a kid back in the 70's. If ANYONE knows ANYTHING about this... who the person is... who willie is.... PLEASE, i'd love to know sometime before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Thanx... ;)

too many people misread roger barrett. he smoked grass and took LSD.... and didnt put up with any rubbish. he also destroyed his ego with all the acid he was taking. which is probably why he never talked back. he was stoned either way and didnt want to do anything phony. and i dont think he could handle the idea of being a mega sensation rockstar. even though its too late. hes a genius and we all know it. we should be thankful he gave us what he did when he did have the courage to get out there

So what destroys these movements... drug ingestion or capitalism?

Seems to me that once you replace the interest for forms of expression into a series of palatable products... from then on, it seems to hold for a little while longer but soon enough, it all collapses.
