try listening to classical music such as beethoven's moonlight sonata, chopin's piano nocturne in e flat minor, rachmaninoff's third piano concerto, or mozart's ave maria. those are some of my personal favorites to listen to when i'm ripped.

does anyone else listen to classical music when they blaze? oh, one last thing... what are all your favorite nicknames for chief?

Yeah I like to listen to a bit. I really like Debussy cuz his rythms are mad, the way he puts his songs together. And Lizst (sp?) his piano concertos really make me fly :spliff:

Mussorgsky, greatest composer ever in my opinion, Baba Yaga is one of the freakiest classical songs to listen to when stoned 8) and The Gates of Kiev really made me feel good when I listened to it, just a rush of emotion because it's so powerful

oh, and everyone into classical, don't forget the Star Wars themes 8) The Imperial March is really powerful, and the Tatooine homestead music is truly beautiful to listen to any time :)

The thing about classical is that alot of it is composed around a set of 'rules' so some of it can be quite emotionless, I find Mozart quite boring tbh, I don't reckon he was a genius. Its people like Ludwig Van, Debussy etc. who broke the rules who actually make the music interesting because they make it their own. In Debussy's day he was considered very experimental like stereolab etc. because his music didn't follow the rules and alot of people just didn't understand the complexities of it.

as with all music.. they all follow rules and sometimes that can be comforting in a way..but boring if you take it to extremes

mr. bungle is great stoner music, but it can get a little too much sometimes if yer REALLY baked

Nah the rules aren't like the ones laid out for classical, they are actually very specific.

huh? really? like what chords can follow other cords and what notes NOT to play in sequence and shit?

nowadays they're not set rules i guess... but all mainstream artists conform blindly anyway :wink:

Yeah certain disciplines are that way, there are just certain chords you just don't use etc. Not really sure why but there you go. I think there are a few minor 5ths, 'devil tones' etc. your not meant to use and stuff like that.

The only classical piece I like is Carmina Burana, but I don't really know anything else.
