Ok get them to play it without Geologist, see how good it sounds. If you want to hear the album version, listen to the CD. I think it’s refreshing to see a band willing to experiment with their own work and try something new, that’s why I go to live shows.

Drugs arent great and you shouldn’t talk like that. People die because of them. Think of it a bit…
And i hope AC dont take them…

I’m not trying to …
I’m not trying to argue whether this version is good or not, good is subjective and therefore different for everyone. If you don’t like it, that’s completely fine with me. I’m just saying they’re the artists, they can play it however they want. Likewise, I’m not saying this version is in fact better, I just can’t stand when I pay money to see a band and all they do is rehash the CD the exact same way I’ve heard it so many times before. If I wanted to hear the CD, I’d listen to the CD.

They weren’t …
They weren’t experimenting, just omitting. Everything was good except Geo just decided to not put in the best part of the song: The thundering almost horse galloping bass in the climax. Ya know the that makes you move.

In an interview, they said “No, we don’t do drugs. No, we don’t make music soley to enhance someones trip, and yes, we are tired of the question.”

how many times do …
how many times do you live? one. do drugs if you want to. dont do them if you dont want to. also, dont generalize, SOMETIMES people die from CERTAIN drugs. drugs are great, if you’re not a idiot about it.

also, i cant help but think that AC do indeed take drugs. sorry to burst your bubble. (correct me if im wrong folks, i havent heard any member confess to this)

I agree. The way I …
I agree. The way I found out about them not using drugs, was by researching on whether they use drugs or not, because like you said, they do seem to have a drug kind of style. Take Peacebone’s video for example. That definately isn’t something you see everyday. Lol. And in a lot of their songs, their lyrics don’t make any sense. I was surprised when I heard them say they don’t use drugs haha.

well there we go, i …
well there we go, i was wrong. the reason i said they probably do is that their stuff often seems as though it could have been inspired by trips possibly, but yeah im glad they said the part about not making music to enhance people’s trips. sure it will probably enhance your trip immensely, but there is SO much more to it than that. i’ve never listened to them on drugs and i am still blown away every time i hear them. so very creative and experimental; the world needs more music like this.
