Northlane DMT comments?

[Xardoniak]

I've noticed on most of Northlanes Lyrical Explanation videos on youtube, people posting stuff along the lines of "No its actually about drugs" and "DMT" and things similar, what do you guys think about it; Funny or Rude?


PS: I went and checked the videos and the comments seem to have been deleted.

Hahaha, funny question. I don't think it's really that rude, drugs have influenced some great songs over the years, and Northlane seem to have a couple of themes going that could support it (speech by Terrance Mckenna in Singularity is a good example.) And in their gear rundown video Adrian is very obviously having a chop

Who really cares... Good new album. Take all the drugs you want if the next album is even better.

 

[Xardoniak]

I'm not talking about the music specifically, I just wondering if you guys think it's okay to comment things like that.

 

[GRUNTKOR]

perfectly acceptable imo

 

[Chuck]

Its fine

 

[Vhyle]

Not a big deal in the least.

I disagree with the idea that I can only choose funny or rude. How about making an option 'it makes perfect god damn sense that contemporary musicians are influenced by drugs'

Hey man, you think bands that are influenced by drugs are rude? Then I guess you must have a hard time listening to just about any influential rock band ever.

 

[Datura]

I can't believe you exist.

 

[Xardoniak]

I'm not talking about the drug use or the band, I'm talking about pointing it out and more going out of your way to point it out.
I personally don't care if people do drugs, with in reason (eg; child neglection due to an addiction)

I personally don't feel towards either side though it would be more likely to be taken as being rude instead of being okay/good/funny

Calling DMT a drug is technically correct, but at the same time personally offensive.

It's not called the 'Spirit Molecule' for nothing. It's the most baffling paradox yet found in nature.

DMT is serious business. It's not a party or recreational compound, and it's not to be abused in any way shape or form. It's to be highly respected, and used only for deep mind research, spiritual exploration, getting to understand oneself and your relationship to this universe.

I don't know the band and I haven't done any DMT but that movie about DMT called Spirit Molecule is pretty interesting.

I don't know much about it, other than it being a drug.

It's actually already in every human being. It just requires a catalyst to be released and experienced voluntarily. A human being naturally experiences a DMT 'trip' twice in his or her life - the moment of birth, and the moment of death.

With that said, I've never experienced it, but I would LOVE to. I feel like I could truly benefit from such an intense session of mental self-exploration. I often lose sight on where I am, who I am, and my (in)significance in this infinitely massive, mysterious universe we all reside in. But that's for another thread.

On the topic - do you people realize how much good music that YOU enjoy was created while on drugs? I believe a man by the name of Bill Hicks put it best. I'm sure someone else knows the quote I'm referring to.

Right, agreed, still that doesn't change the fact that alot of young folks will treat it like a recreational drug. Granted - many are in a for a rude awakening.

The beauty of DMT is that it will teach you respect for it sooner or later...

As to the op, why shouldn't they talk about their inspirations? How is any different than someone writing about a time they were angry or abused or even just happy. Art is drawn from experience. It's up to the artist to as to what experiences inspire his art.

 

[NaYoN]

Umm...

Why does what random people comment on youtube matter?

 

[TheKindred]

Umm...

Because it's rude!

...or possibly funny?

 

[Narrillnezzurh]

Guys, the OP isn't asking if doing drugs while writing is funny or rude. He's asking if it's funny or rude to comment on an artist doing drugs while writing.

lol @ people taking DMT and then making this music
