First of all, what is your definition of stoners? Second of all, they're not into drugs, if that's what you mean. Did you think so just because they have long hair, or what?  ???

Remember, as Elizabeth always said - "you don't have to be a stoner to play stoner rock."

Or was that John?

yes, i thought they were stoners cos they play stoner rock and they just kinda seemed that way when i saw em on the teevee, not because of their hair ::) i know stoners with long hair and i know stoners with shaved heads, so that wasnt it.

To be honest, I never quite understood what exactly stoner rock is...

Well, if QOTSA is stoner rock, then MMJ is definitely not!

i think of stoner rock as rock that isnt just rock. its definetly got the roots of rock, but it wavers from that pretty narrow description. see with MMJ, they have total head-banger rock, that flows into sometimes down-on-the-bayou ballads, to bold arena-like echoes. at least in my mind, some stoner rock bands (that not all nececarily contain stoners) are the smashing pumpkins, radiohead, U2, the beatles, pink floyd, zappa, etc...

i dont know if their stoners or not, but this shit sounds cool when your baked, and when your not baked but either way its kick ass.

im not saying no one GETS baked....im just sayin they arent "stoners".


but um i find most music sounds better when "enhanced" to coin a term.

Neither am I. And at the risk of sounding dry, can I just suggest that talking about it isn't cool. It really bugs me when people rave on about smoking/getting baked/being a stoner. To me it just comes across really half-baked, if you know what I mean.

Sorry guys, that was a bit of a rant. Maybe I just shouldn't have read this thread at all. :-/

Well, like everything else, we welcome folks of all persuasions...stoners too!  ;D

You would be shocked to learn what kind of public figures, atheletes, ministers, business leaders, etc. are stoners...I know I was!

Yep and here's curtis back again.

God I love that song.

I'm your mama, I'm your daddy,
I'm that nigga in the alley.
I'm your doctor when in need.
Want some coke? Have some weed.
You know me, I'm your friend,
Your main boy, thick and thin.
I'm your pusherman.

And no I'm not a stoner, though I like the stones

He's never early, he's always late
