Limmy thinks The Chemical Brothers are VERY scary [2021-10-01]

[@polly_pasta]

oh my god it really touched me to hear him describe how he comforted his friend and calmed him down, what a sweetie

[@KarlHamilton]

Beat me to it. What a guy. Imagine getting wiped out with Limmy.

7:52 why is he so good at doing an impression of someone who’s desperately trying to hide the fact that they’re freaking out

[@Poopscipade]

Experience.

He got an education in The Arches.

i saw chemical brothers at glastonbury a couple of times absolutely battered and it was great. i love the anxiety and repetition of it all. guess it's not for everyone.

[@Acechao111]

That’s great that you told him ‘this is shite, I don’t like Chemical Brothers’ cos then that’ll reassure him that it is pretty intense, and that he’s not bothering you by getting out of there, great move Limmy

[@drewx123]

know exactly what he means. "Hey Boy Hey Girl" is right anxiety inducin

I once had a mate freak right out while Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim was on in a club once. That part about 4 minutes in, his head couldn’t handle it.

Under the influence is an absolute banger on pills and no one can tell me otherwise.

I saw their live show in Melbourne - it was absolutely incredible visuals

[@Rickyroo1980]

I had that on eccies in the Liquid room in Edinburgh about 20 years ago, folks faces were growing old before my eyes, thankfully those hallucinations didn't last too long

[@MrJonojono34]

i love the chemical brothers myself

[@mikeprice25]

As someone who has watched Chems several times on MD, the 'demonic' aspect is what keeps me hooked. Never had a bad time. And Do It Again isn't even their most demonic. On the flip side they have stuff like Star Guitar that is so blissful and uplifting.

[@Manhandle730]

Yeah they definitely have a range of material. As far as you can go within their genre of course. I forget what album but the one that has Setting Sun on it was a good one. We had that on repeat for awhile on a heavy mushroom trip once. That was definitely a good time.

[@JJRocheO]

Swoon is chill too 👌

[@alexwells6876]

The Sunshine Underground would probably be euphoric on pills

[@dantheman8384]

Why am I imagining Limmy's pal in this story is the guy from the "Gies yer laptop" sketch?

The Golden Path is a great tune with a quite positive video.

[@DominicGeraghty]

Was just thinking that.

[@sunsaengnim6880]

Big up the Limmy, listens to Aphex

[@chrisr1415]

There are loads of deep chill tunes on the albums, they just don't often get released as singles. I seldom listen to the singles..give them a blast

Limmy's story was like Ronnie Corbett's arm chair monologues if he'd guzzled Tramazepam.

[@plankcaller]

i think you're talking about MAH (Mad As Hell where they have this weird demonic thing as the visual)

[@soundexphonetic.1]

I was at that Homelands... me and load of my pals would refer a comedown as 'Homelands Syndrome' for many years after. There is footage somewhere out there - as it was shown on national TV in parts a while after - of me, 18-19 at the time - on top of my brothers shoulders held up with a whistle and a water bottle jammed in my mouth, hands in the air but I can never find it as I have done many times to no avail. It was either Leftfield or Public Enemy and I'm fairly sure it was the latter. Shame foot and mouth bawz had it chopped down the next year and didn't come back but.... I WAS THERE!

[@intraum]

now i understand why the music limmy makes is like that lmao

[@Macho_Fantastico]

I'm totally with Limmy on this one, I'd probably have a bad trip if I witness this.

[@teddyvision7563]

Wow Chemical Brothers is too dark for limmy the fucking world is upside down

[@da-p6814]

doesn't take much for music to be too dark when you're tripping. just a subtle negative vibe and you're fucked

[@tjames4597]

I get it. A lot of Chems tracks have a pretty intense and noisy atmos about them that can be off-putting. Not all of them though, some of them have a fucking amazing, uplifting vibe about them.

[@timothy790110]

When I lived in NYC 2007-2009, we used to do blow 2-3 time a week, and always listened to Believe before we went out. Man it really triggers me now, cant listen to it

The classic solution: "let's get drunk"

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

Pills might have had a lot of 2CB in them. Proper ecstasy pills are a combination of MDMA and 2CB, the latter of which is a potent hallucinogenic (MDMA is as well, but not to nearly the same level. It's more potent as a stimulant but it still affects your perception of colour) That being said it's not uncommon for pills to be made from any old shite, which is why recreational drugs should be made legal and regulated IMO

[@annother3350]

But in the UK it's only been MDA since mid 90s as they banned a substance

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

@@annother3350 yes, the fact that it's illegal makes it impossible to obtain 😉 In all seriousness, the fact it was banned definitely made it far less safe to purchase pills

What are you on about. Proper pills are pure MDMA.

@@annother3350 Pills in uk come mainly from The Netherlands,if you test your pills yourself you would know I’m pills are not mainly MDA, they are mainly MDMA nowadays. The risks these days are pills being so pure and high dose.

I genuinely bumped into the Chemical Brothers once at Newcastle Station after work. I had my head down and Walkman on and accidentally barged into them on the footbridge not looking up. They were playing Newcastle that weekend. They didn't seem down to earth and didn't seem very funny at all.

[@Manhandle730]

I’m sorry you feel that way. For what it’s worth they had nothing but good things to say about you.

Dark?! Quite the opposite for me, I find them really sterile 🤔

[@leepaulturner83]

The irony is the chemical brothers turned down a collaboration with Noel Gallagher to do a cover of helter skelter because of its relationship to Charles Manson murders . Totally agree that song would kill me on an E!. In the club coming up to that song would give me the fear . Limmy is great 😊
