I have a book of Jim Morrison's poetry. I have every single studio recording, by The Doors, ever produced, a great collection of Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix, among other things.

In addition, if you even try to convince me that Third Eye (either from Salival or Aenima) or Merkaba (Salival) are not psychedelic, I will take time out of my busy schedule to laugh at you. I'm not saying that everything they do is psychedelic, but I believe they're a psychedelic band.

Perhaps Maynard is more of a visionary, though...

THe question you need to ask yourself is are drugs actually the influence behind third eye? Truth be told they arent, the song third eye is actually about shaminisim and meditation. the third eye they refers too is the shacra of preception.


I stick my hand into his shadow to pull the pieces from the sand. Which I attempt to reassemble to see just who I might have been. I do not recognize the vessel, but the eyes seem so familiar. Like phosphorescent desert buttons singing one familiar song... "So good to see you. I've missed you so much. So glad it's over. I've missed you so much. Came out to watch you play. Why are you running away?" Prying open my third eye. So good to see you once again. I thought that you were hiding. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing the tail of dogma. I opened my eye and there we were. So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me. And you thought that I had run away. Chasing a trail of smoke and reason. Prying open my third eye.

Simply for the sake of arguement mind you, i dont mean to start a feud with a fellow tool fan i just enjoy a good debate.
