BESIDE GOING TO A SHOW, WHAT ARE THE BEST WAYS TO COMBINE WEED AND METAL?

MS Maniac King Cheezit just sent us the following e-mail:
Dear the merry gentlefucks at Metalsucks,
I come to you as a fellow metalhead and enjoyer of the reefer. If you enjoy watching The Wizard of Oz while listening to Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon, then boy oh boy do I have a suggestion for you! I just got out of Avatar in IMAX 3-D while completely stoned out of my mind, and there was only one ingredient missing (for me) and that was the sounds of Gojira. What a perfect way to blend such beautifully heavy progressive metal such as theirs with the intensely spiritual creation from Jame’s Cameron? Can you imagine the power of “From The Sky” during the fight scene in the end, or…well I won’t make any more suggestions to protect from spoiling said experience for anyone else, but I highly suggest the mixture of the three. Any other crazy interesting ideas to mix metal and weed besides just going to a show? I’d love to know, now that I’ve discovered this gem of an idea.
Thank you,
King Cheezit
Now, I actually hated Avatar. I know everyone loves it, but I was stoned outta my skull when I saw it, and I was still as bored as fuck. They really should have called it Avatard.
But His Majesty has a point: what are some good ways to mix metal and weed, besides just going to a show?
Honestly – and I know this gonna sound weird – I’ve never given it much thought. I mean, I like to get high and listen to metal and write about metal, and that’s great work if you can get it, but I don’t think it’s what Cheezit had it mind.
I think I could happily watch Days of Heaven set to some Insomnium. I’d love to see someone edit together the best kills from, say, the Friday the 13th franchise to a score of God Forbid or Chimaira.
But I feel like there probably way, way more creative answers out there that I haven’t even considered. So, if anyone has any tips, please leave ‘em in the comments section below. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so curious to hear what you guys and girls have to say.

Avatar was a metal movie if ever there was one. That being said, I’ve never indulged in the weed. I stick with quality beer (and not-so-quality PBR at concerts).
Weed + Shopping for a new CD + Taco Bell on ride home in the summer with that new CD playing = Top notch
OR!
(Insert game you play online here) + (Favorite metal band playing in background) = Entertainment for hours
The second one I do probably way to much. Modern Warfare 2 and some war themed thrash metal is always good.
Yeah me and my best friend do that, MW 2, plus 160+ death/thrash/black metal albums choose from, do this from about 10pm to 5 or 6am
I like to do this with Skate 2. Put the ipod on shuffle, smoke out, and free skate the city…love it!
Like you said though, this works for just about any game.
i like to play Aion while i listen to Baroness’s Blue Record. and yes, while stoned its a hundred times more entertaining.
Ha, jake listens to Baroness, awesome
Mmmm. Regarding option 2: Oblivion and Ensiferum playing. I’m a dork, it’s true.
Or: Driving under the influence+crippling some innocent person for the rest of their life= The shizzle.
Loser
STFU tool, have you ever driven high?? Going 10 under and paying perfect attention to the road because you’re paranoid is gonna kill someone?!?! Get your shit comments out of here and go join SADD where your style of commenting is welcomed
Take a good 3 footer rip, throw in some Red Chord and get one of the most intense workouts ever done. Or get ripped, plug into some Neurosis or Isis, or anything of the sort, and take a hike on a nice fall afternoon.
I digs.
All I know is my session last night to the new Pelican album was pretty epic. Highly (no pun intended) recommended. There was nothing good on TV at the time, so I can’t help ya there.
Listen to any BTBAM album while looking at the stars.
I’d rather get my 10$ and spend it on weed, then listen to Gojira while watching cartoons. Avatar sucked complete ass! Fuck you James Cameron, fuck you and The Titanic!
BTW. the 3rd Kick Ass trailer is here, I’m pretty psyched:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oy4IFvH2Tc
I never heard of that movie before…looks pretty cool!
Kind of ridiculous that they’re making a movie out of a comic that’s put out 7 issues to date, though.
Step 1. Smoke bowls.
Step 2. Plug guitar into amp.
Step 3: Smoke bowls again.
Step 4. Turn amp up really fucking loud.
Step 5: Smoke bowls once more and possibly take a shot of JD or Jager.
Step 6. Make my neighbours/roomates hate me for playing along with (insert fav band) riffs for hours on end at distractingly loud volumes.
That’s how I spent my last 4 days.

Godamn I miss college days when that was an excpetable way to spend an afternoon. Then you gotta wake up and begin a career – enjoy it while it last bro.
Hahah i do actually work a 9-5 at a software company.. just had a 4 day weekend…gotta love the holidays while they last. Back to normal hours this week.
That’s why I became a professor — the college lifestyle with an adult’s salary.
Get a nice good even stone on, drive to work, and work while jacked into 30 days worth of metalicious itunes on random…repeat each workday.
Replacing the soundtrack for “Jason Goes To Hell” with ANYTHING else would be a vast improvement.
It’s not really metal, but along the lines of the “Dark Side of the Rainbow” (Wizard of Oz + DSotM) thing, Rush’s 2112 apparently synchronizes with the old “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”.
Wu-Tang Clan and old Scoobie Doo cartoons. Pretty fucking funny when stoned.
I just like to fire it up and ride around in my truck on a gray, cool, rainy day listening to Pelican’s “The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw”…not really original or anything, but it sure is nice to do. No vocals = actually just listening to the music and getting lost in thought.
I also like to toke and play the whole “Rust in Peace” album while working out at 5:30 in the morning before work, then sitting down and toking again with something soft like Jim Croce while cooling down and watching the sun rise. I usually get to work in a pretty nice mood.

The only way to make Pelican’s drummer sound decent (by that I mean like a 4 yo kid – almost the top according to Pelican’s rythme scale) :
A) To listen to their music being completely stoned or drunk … and I mean fucking completely !
B) To never listen to their music !
C) To be deaf !
What? Is english your first language?
I’m sure I stumbled across all the great ways to mix weed and metal, but I was so stoned I forgot what they were.
Weed + Animals as Leaders & Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Project’s “Cryptomnesia” (back to back) = trip.

Was baked when i listened to the AAL album for the first time. Fucking amazing.
Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, blazed. the end
Yes.
haha… best time ever.
Hands down.
1)room full of your best friends
2)heavy amounts of medicinal marijuana
3) BDM DVD – Majesty
4)headbang everytime live footage comes on and laugh at the rest
omg
Just Electric Wizard. Or Sunn O)))
i like sunn o))) but listening to them stoned would bore me to tears.
fucking.
Your guys’ ideas fucking suck. Way to let Axl down on his birthday, you fuckers! It’s this man’s fucking BIRTHDAY and he says that he’s never been so curious to hear what you boys and girls have to say and you guys are coming up with walking in the rain and watching Scooby doo?! You guys call yourselves friends…
I think you should start smoking weed so you can calm down…
Where’s your award-winning idea then?
Weed + football with the stupid commentary muted + 80s thrash. A match made in heaven.
Damn I don’t really watch football but this actually sounds really fun
I absolutely cannot fucking believe I’ve not thought of that. I love football. I hate the commentay. I love metal. I’m a dumbass. I’ve got to get on that. +1 my friend
Replacing Cris Collinsworth with Dave Mustaine (on drugs) was the best decision I ever made.
going to a football game blazed while listening to napalm death – the code is red on my zune = best decision i’ve ever made.
One night while smoking with some friends I had put on the movie Koyaanisqatsi. Being more of an art film peopled didn’t initially get into it so I put on Opeth’s Damnation. The banter soon ended and we were all completely engrossed in the spectacle. Give it a try sometime.
Good Calll!
Smoking Pot makes one depressed for life.
http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2009/12/17/marijuana-teen-brain-rats.html
Really painful when you think about it. Fun for now, then lifetime depression later.
that study was done on rats. if i was a rat in a cage and smoked pot, i think the realization of my entrapment, brought upon by the drug, might make me depressed too. in other words sure pot makes you depressed.. if you have something to be depressed about. if you have something to be happy about it can make you extraordinarily happy too.
fail on your part -1
your a dumbass one study dosent prove anything. For the record it’s meth that makes you depressed, you get so much dopamine because of the meth your brain shuts down your dopamine producers, just saying.
Stupid desicions, feeling under-appreciated, failing to develop your abilities, beeing mistreated as a child or having shitty genes makes one depressed.
Smoking pot can facilitate all of the above. But it does not CAUSE depression.
You don’t have to swallow everything they ram dow your throath in high school.
Unless it’s your teachers’ cock. Then you gotta because they will fail your ass.
Mixing metal and weed hmm. I tried this and fucked up my lungs and my throat . Never mix metal and weed example being making a foil pipe and using it constanly for a few days. Using gum paper and leaving some metal on the wrapper and using it for rolling papers can also be bad for you.
Mixing weed and metal isn’t good for your health.
unless you’re stranded in the wilderness, you should never, EVER use ANYTHING but glass products to smoke weed.
also, your biased study means jack shit to me because anyone with half of a fucking brain would realize that you’re going to be depressed for life whether you’re on drugs or not, which all of us are. so go fuck yourself and keep your head outta the cloud if you don’t enjoy it.
I’m impressed you mentioned Days of Heaven. Someone’s a cinephile!
Bud + Pan’s Labyrinth + any metal you want because that movie is awesome, especially whilst high. But I would recommend something along the lines of Cynic or Opeth
Also just listening to “Through Silver in Blood” with headphones on while ripped is a pretty intense experience. Actually I say “intense” when I really meant fucking terrifying! I don’t smoke much so it was one of those loss of self and place moments and listening to Neurosis in such a vulnerable state… well you can imagine.
The good thing is I could hear some really cool panning tricks I never heard sober. Everything seemed much more three dimensional.
Am I the only one that gets stoned as fuck and comes here for new metal?
nope!
Getting high and finding Ancestors on here was a great thing for my life.
Totally agreed on that! Finally ordered Of Sound Mind on vinyl last night. Can’t wait to get blazed to the bejesus belt and spin that for a few hours!
gettin high and then watch the first “the omen” movie, you feel demons around yout head
I love the ad on the left warning you about the dangers of drug use.
On another note: Lord of Rings set to Manowar.
THAT IS THE BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!!
I did this the other day because of your suggestion, good call! I also made a playlist for songs that fit each section of 300 so it’s a separate metal soundtrack…do this with any movie cause then it fits your personal taste and will change every movie you like lol.
go in a supermarket and try to buy just one thing, that you don’t know yet. I ended up with beers, candy and Kafka’s version of The Trial. it was fun, the first time.
when i was 18/19, me and friends used to watch some random porn along with some metal while we were drunk and/or high. real funny because at some point, the fucking and the song would sync up.
laughs last for about 5 mins, then it wears off.
thats funny you mentioned avatard…

i caught myself watching the weather channel for about half an hour one time, and it was just the blue screen with all the current temps.
that was intense.
first, load your ipod or make a playlist on the ipod or computer with your favorite metal, emphasizing brutality in your choices
then, load your bowl (in my case the killer pipe, Ormagoden, Creamator of Your Lungs)
smoke dat shiiiii-
put God of War or God of War II into your PlayStation 2 or 3
start your game, hit select, go to options, turn the music all the way down
get your ipod or computer hooked up to some awesome speakers
crank the brutality, slay some demons of legends
this is good for any number of games. can’t wait to try it with Dante’s Inferno
I personally get stoned and put on some headphones in a dark room and blast atmospheric music like Tool, Isis, Neurosis, Minsk, Opeth, Genghis Tron or better yet some cool psychedelic textured listens like Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Black Moth Super Rainbow or Aphex Twin. Oh fuck it, weed makes all music so much better.
