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

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

Bad pill stories always make my hands go all sweaty

'I dont feel anything'. Takes more CLASSIC MISTAKE

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

i love the chemical brothers myself

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.

Excellent clip. Hilarious! To be commended for his candidness too...

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

genuinely couldn’t think of anything worse while on a pill hahahahahaha

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

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

As someone who is a MEGA MEGA fan of the chemical brothers and has recently learned about limmy through his show, this is super awesome to see him talk about.

Electronic Battle Weapon 8/Saturate is the best thing they've ever done.

I like how these read like Muran Buchstansangur episode titles

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

6:16 Limmy does his best borderlands psycho impression

Good mate to your pal there, good man!

galvanize and go are very catchy. 2 of my faves

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

10:12 that made my heart ache a bit, limmy responded so well though. gg auld man.

yeah mate that "Galvanise" chewn gives me night terrors!

Ah, limmy and his colleague on the super googs

Saw them at T back in the day, fully bingoed on ectos. Had no issues at all.

Big up the Limmy, listens to Aphex

star guitar is an uplifting track

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

9:32 spot on impression

That chemical brothers song ye shown was exactly what you think when your havin a bad trip anyways man.

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

I like hey boy hey girl, never had a problem with their music... TILL NOW!

Let's next explore the demonic undertones of Donk

Limmy: “I just want a Tuna sandwich and mong out to some snow patrol”

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

No gonae lie i was freaking the fuck out aswel at that rockness...

Yeah, galvanize sounds kinda creepy.

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

Electronic battle weapon 9 will calm those sunshine underground nerves. Your kind & enlightening words do more to encourage the pursuit of these block rockin to innocent ear drums than DO IT AGAIN

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

Alive Alone is one of the darkest songs ever

Phenomenal.

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!

Limmy needs to get himself to a phish concert "stat!"

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

Electronic battle weapons ftw

Sparks.

Gold bars...

The classic solution: "let's get drunk"

Haha aww limmy you the man

Old man admits to investing class A substances multiple times. That's enough to put him away for good

Never thought I'd see someone scared of "Do it Again".. Hilarious..

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.

I can empathise, if you were rolling too hard Chemical Brothers would be a bit intense lmao, good job you weren’t tripping on acid or something

Fuckin terrifying stuff that

Wonder what Limmy makes of Tool

Thanks, Lim. Ruined Chemical Brothers for me. Haha.

5:57 He's starting to lose it

I liked star guitar, wasn’t too scary.

Nothing like a Green Rolex and a few of these bangers EDIT : Nothing like 3 pink ninja turtles and a Limmy vid 😛

pills had gone a bit shit and weird around 99, probably thats why he was freaking out

This story just filled with anxiety tbh lol

Big scaredy

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

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.

Awee

top friend

I know hes no doubt addressed this in the past. But why doesnt Limmy have Premium RU-vid. No ads.

I’ve been unsure as to why I dislike Chemical Brothers for around 25 years… I think this might be why. Astute.

Is your mate still trippin?

I could see myself enjoying the absurd visuals on E, but acid or mushies would be a big no go.

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 😊

Yup, they're pish.

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

That's definitely a contaminated pill. pure mdma won't cause such confusion or hallucination. My guess is a awful PMA cut pill (potentially dangerous) PS: Dance music can get soo much more 'freaky' than the chemical brothers lol

I'm not on anything and it's making me feel nauseated. It's not scary, it's more like some kind of mindless repetition MK Ultra mind control propaganda videos. Bad vibes for sure!

middle of the road pish

It's so boring waiting for what limmy is gonna say next

Hate that kind of music. Just a computer on the blink. Absolute shite. Music for people who dont like Music.

Really? Even Galvanise? Even Hey Boy Hey Girl? I get it for some of their stuff, but... All of it?

The worst pill music
