Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk were once shrouded behind a veil of mystery. Secretive and nearly voiceless, the duo managed to remain detached almost completely from their music personas. Fans had very little insight into the mind’s of the French duo, however, Random Access Memories would change that entirely.
In the months leading up to the release of Random Access Memories the duo came forward to voice their opinions and thoughts on the world of dance music. Appearing in publications like GQ and The Rolling Stone, Daft Punk opened up a whole new world of insight for all to see. Some of which we didn’t enjoy so much, namely the whole Thinking EDM was a producer, because “it all sounds the same” thing. Other stories, like the one below are more humanizing and sometimes downright funny. 
In their May interview for The Rolling Stone the Frenchmen talked candidly about their experiences with Ecstasy during their younger years. Supposedly and not surprisingly, Daft Punk found Molly back in 1993. Bangalter experimented with the drug for a year, but today, the Frenchman doesn’t look back on it too fondly saying,”The problem was that I was liking any music I’d hear, any crap – I had no critical judgment. The last time I did Ecstasy was the day Kurt Cobain died. We were at a party in Glasgow when I heard. Then we were going to an afterparty and I almost got hit by a truck.”
Now, I don’t know about you but that sounds like a typical Tuesday night to me… I bet I’m probably not alone in that. But if you think about it, there’s some serious wisdom to be gained from their story. If you don’t like Random Access Memories there’s a very simple solution, straight from Daft Punk themselves. Take Ecstasy. In no time, you’ll be rocking out to the freaking amazing guitar lines and drum patterns that sound like, so real you know? But to be sure you avoid Daft Punk‘s misadventure I recommend not listening to it in the middle of the street, no matter how good the pavement feels.
Here’s the obligatory we here at Your EDM neither condemn nor condone the use of illicit substances.
So this article just was either written very sarcastically or it just sent a verybad message.
Obviously very sarcastically
I retract that statememt but I do question the how professional the writers act. This article feels very “commercialezed”
everyone that reads this article is going to look up when kurt cobain died to see when the last time he took ecstasy.
you sound like a smartass
I don’t like the fact that they want people to be on an entheogen just so they can loke the RAM…
if you know the rave scene you would know it wasn’t sarcastic lol.
great article,…RAM sucks.
literally hating just to hate the kid has no idea what he is even talking about haha
If you have had experience with MDMA, the statement holds pretty true, you don’t care what you’re listening to, it all sounds GOOD! No critical judgement, and a few days of utter exhaustion afterwards! I enjoyed Molly-Mayhem for a good year or so, glad I choose to refrain nowadays. I also like being able to remember what great tracks I hear on any given night!
This is so funny! I want to find the original rolling stone article now.
personal perogative
I think Molly has become a staple for most of the edm community. I mean, if you know where its coming from, its tested, and you use it only once every friday and saturday and at music festivals, that’s healthy right?
Lol
