im sure you guys have heard of these guys... has anyone gotten the album?
i have and its pretty trippy/funky
they seem to make alot of remarks about taking psychedelics... this is just my taking on it.
hell, the entire song "crazy" to me sounds like he is talking about a trip the entire song.
what do you guys think?
by the way gnarls barkley is made of of cee-lo and dangermouse.

I'm listening to the CD as I read this forum. Crazy does sound like a trip song. We listened to the CD on the way to a trip party on the beach off of 1.

i'm SURE DJ Danger has dabbled. Cee Lo, on the other hand, I have no idea about.

I remember on MTV cribs Cee Lo had a pretty large collection of Pink Floyd. This does not mean he trips, but it is a pretty good clue.

yeah how are you cerain hes a dabbler?
most of the lyrics are probably his.... danger is just a beat maker.... but they seem to mention clues and hints through out the cd...
cee-lo is a very creative philosipher too.
plus look at their style.... every performance they dress up as something different... the ENTIRE band dresses up in character with them.
the wizard of oz star wars fear and loathing...
just really goofy shit... thats what made me be drawn to them to begin with.
check out their myspace... its pretty wacky.

I agree that he "may" use these drugs, but those are just clues. We will never know for certain, unless he says in an interview or something.

Most musicians that are actually into music and not just a simple good beat and getting famous have taken some hallucinogens.
Music/the arts and hallucinogens go hand in hand. SO most musicians who have access to them tend to use them once or more.
One of the greatest jazz musicians of all times took a whole lot of acid in his day. It actually changed his style a bit and he even said that himself. Im talking about Coltrane. It would be hard to find an inovative new band or singer who has not used hallucinogens at one time or another. As far as barkley. Id assume he has used them just after hearing his inovative style and seeing his music video. The man is an actual musician unlike most of the shit you can see on MTV, or VH1. People who make music cant help but to not pass up a good thick dose of something.
Id almost bet everthing I own on the fact that gnarls as used some hallucinogens in his day.
You never really can know although it is interesting to think about. Zappa didnt use drugs as I recall. Listening to Jerry Garcia, I wouldnt EVER believe he had never touched a hallucinogen. Same goes for trey anastasio, or the guys from shpongle. I would not be atall surprized if norah jones has had her fair share of doses. That girl is amazing. Its like lounge music made for tripping folk. Tori amos used hallucinogens go figure, and some of her songs are inspired by those trips. Same goes for trent reznor, the guys from tool, pantera, portosehead, Dizzy Gillespie etc etc.....
Wouldnt be surprized if puff daddy never tried a psychedelic. SOmeone like Gnarls is not anything like "p-diddy".

He has said many times that he has never and will never do drugs.
He could just be saying that so his answer does not detract people from his music. He certainly never pulled a ted nugent and totally slammed drugs and drug users.
So I dont really know for sure. ---------------------------------------------- Norah jones was just a wild guess as were a few of the other people I mentioned. She is actually ravi shankar's daughter and learned to play the piano in 2 years time and made it big. I mentioned her because she seems like an unlikely candidate. Her music and her aura is pretty subtle and very trippy though. I saw her band live at bonaroo. Everything she writes is just so well written and full of soul. She and her band just jams in a unique and subtle way. Many rock and roll fans would consider her to be just another chick, making chick music. I come from more of a jazz background, so I can really appreciate what she does, alot. I was kind of just saying I wouldnt be at all surprized if such an inovative young artist like her was not influenced by psychedelics. She just has this new almost alien sound, and sings like an angel.

Add santana to that list of ayahuasca users. Santana is very serious about it and has done it many times----it changed his life many times. "Metatron is the architect of physical life," Santana explains. "Because of him, we can French-kiss, we can hug, we can get a hot dog, wiggle our toe."
He seems like my kind of guy. ------------------------------------------------
interesting note: You know the famous footage of santana playing soul sacrifice at woodstock.......Well most people would figure he was on something during that amazing performance.
In santana's own words, or from what I remember, "the neck of my guitar was like the body of a snake and I was trying to subdue this pulsating snake". He was infact hardly able to make it to the stage and was scared about the fact that he was tripping so hard and was bout to play infront of more people than ever before. He was infact on LSD, mescaline, and ayahuasca all at once when playing on that stage.
