    they were off their heads - whether it was drugs was another matter. Amazing Live - Blur cite them as a major influence as do Napalm Death, Radiohead and Marillion to name but a few. Had the privilege of seeing them live a long time ago - will never forget it - what a riff

    The story is that for Their song "In the garden of Eden"
    But they were so high/drunk when they tried to record it, all they could mumble was
    "inna gadda da vida", and it stuck.

    I saw them at The Astoria in London in early '91. I didn't think they were that good to be honest

    All of the truly great 60s bands produced great music whilst off their collective trolley. Off the top of my head: Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Love, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Traffic, and the Moody Blues. Probs loads I have forgotten here. Also Hawkwind were off their tree on LSD when they produced a lot of their best 70s music.
