You seem to know alot about drugs :thinking:.......
I was smoking cocaine in 1978. ~:confused: Its not as new as people think. The stuff they started making in the 80s and 90s was crap not crack ~D Nothing like the original stuff we smoked and made ourselves ~;)Quote:
No no, see, it was cocaine our president (well rumoured to) took, since crack didn't exist back then.
Well I don't know much about the hard stuff. I just know about pot, acid and shrooms (but I don't take acid or shrooms, and haven't smoked in ages, since I have no money. Thank goodness for me finding a job!). I thought that crack hadn't existed back then... guess I was wrong. ~;)
Well they didnt call it crack they called it free basing. Unlike crack it was pure cocaine.
Man Gawain, you're conservative to the end man! Even hard drugs aren't what they used to be!Quote:

Political commentary (from whatever angle) in songs I like, but that can't be an excuse not to make it a great song - that's why I can't stand Green Day's new stuff; the songs are all rubbish (especially that When September Ends song, god I hate it, it's so boring). And it's not just left-wing political commentary; Iron Maiden's last album Dance Of Death had a great song on it called Age Of Innocence:
Age Of Innocence
(Murray/Harris)
I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more
I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
I can't be sympathizing with a new lost cause
I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all
And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
The victims' minds are scarred for life most everyday
Assailants know just how much further they can go
They know the laws are soft conviction chances low
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
You can't protect yourselves even in your own home
For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their eyes
So now the criminals they laugh right in our face
Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace
Despondent public worries where it all will end
We can't protect ourselves our kids from crime the trend
We cannot warn each other of evil in our midst
They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just
So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream
Yes because that neither true nor is that their best stuff. Now Satisfaction you would have a point. I like Ruby Tuesday, 2000 light years from home, Get off my cloud and sympathy for the devil. Face it all their early stuff kicks butt.Quote:

Touche' sir - I did indeed forget Satisfaction. And all their stuff with Brian Jones and especially with Mick Taylor is indeed awesome. But Gimme Shelter and Street Fighting Man - c'mon man, how can you say those aren't two of their best ones?Quote:

I didnt say they werent. I was disputing you saying that the political stuff represented all their best . I like His Santanic Majestys Request.Quote:

Fair enough. Post edited, now says "some of their best stuff"
:bow:
Exile certaintly is my favorite album. But I think Gawain is right, there are songs better than Street Figting man, but it certaintly is up there.
Yeah like Paint it Black and Honkey Tonk Women. ~;) I like the early stuff like Little Red Rooster also.
