The group dates back to September 1986. The very act of setting up the band took place an hour before Iron Maiden concert in Poznan, when Tomasz "Titus" Pukacki (vocal, bass guitar) met Robert "Litza" Friedrich (backing vocal, guitar) and they decided to sell the entrance tickets. The money they got was in no time spent on cheap Polish wine known locally as "kwas" (English "acid") The line up was then enlarged by Dariusz "Popcorn" Popowicz (guitar) and Maciej "Ślimak" Starosta (drums.) Soon they created a few song such as Barmy Army or Del Rocca which are performed live even these days. Unfortunately, after two months of blissful existence, the band suffered the loss of Titus - the leader, who had been called up to the army. Titus stayed there two years while the rest of the band performed with other bands. Popcorn joined Wolf Spider and Litza became a member of legendary Turbo and later Creation of Death. When Titus was finally released from the army, ACID DRINKERS was reactivated.
They first appeared on stage on 26th August 1989 in Wroclaw at a fairly big metal festival called "Metal Madness". They played three songs during which they remained completely still on stage, which was a pretty shocking idea as for a metal band at that time. The audience was absolutely taken aback. The same year they played only one more gig together with Turbo, Wolf Spider and Gomor.
In the meantime ACID DRINKERS recorded their first demo including Nagasaki Baby, Del Rocca and I Mean Acid. The demo noticed by Tomasz Dziubinski (Metal Mind Productions) was presented at Midem Fair in Cannes. A month later ACID DRINKERS signed a deal with Music for Nations. In 1990 ACID DRINKERS performed at Metalmania Festival in Katowice, which has been the largest metal festival in Eastern Europe for many years. The show was so excellent that not only fans but also critics and journalists regarded it as a triumph. In a blink of an eye the band gained popularity across the whole country. It was even called "Guns'n'Roses at Metallica's speed".
In October 1998 Litza left ACID DRINKERS, soon replaced by Przemyslaw "Perla" Wejmann. The same year the band was awarded "the Best Rock Band of the Year" by Polish Public Television. ACID DRINKERS also received "Fryderyk", the Polish equivalent of Grammy Award in category of "hard’n’heavy" in 1998, 2000, 2004. In 2003 Perla left the band. The place emptied by him was soon taken over by Tomasz ‘Lipa’ Lipnicki, the leader of another famous Polish band – Illusion. When Lipa left the band in march 2004, next guy joined the band. His name is Aleksander “Olass” Mendyk, guitar player from great hardcore band called None.
Acid Drinkers has always been one of the best and the most live-impressive Polish heavy metal bands. It has been estimated that so far they have played over 700 concerts in Poland and abroad. From 1996 to 2003 Acids headlined 7 tours and their audience reached a million of people. They headlined all the important Polish rock and metal festivals. The band supported many international stars, such as Deep Purple (in Katowice 03.06.1996 and 24.06.1998 and 27.06.2004 Legia Stadium-Warsaw), Ian Gillan ("Toolbox In" tour in Poland and Czech Republic December 1991), Megadeth, Bruce Dickinson, Sepultura, Paradise Lost and Slayer. The band has been recognized as the best Polish band of the 90s’ by Polish journalists, readers of Polish rock and metal magazines and, of course, BY FANS.

Superstitious Motherfucker
Acid Drinkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so damn superstitious
I run from black cats
I don't wash my dick on weekends
You can't change that, so don't try
I am so damn superstitious
I shake hands with chimney sweeps
I don't talk to taxi drivers
I am so damn superstitious
I sleep the thirteenth away
I don't screw the wives of friends
I don't piss in the wind, no way
I'm so damn superstitious
I don't hunt for Charles at night
Ola is the girl I want
Dealer's gonna get a fight
Another spike in my head!!!
Another spike in my head!!!
Another spike in my head!!!
Spike in my head!!!
I'm so damn superstitious
I run from black cats
I don't wash my dick on weekends
You can't change that, so don't try
I am so damn superstitious
I shake hands with chimney sweeps
I don't talk to taxi drivers
With a whore I screw the pimp
Another spike in my head!!!
Another spike in my head!!!
Another spike in my head!!!
Spike in my head!!!
The lyrics of Acid Drinkers' song "Superstitious Motherfucker" are about the singer's extreme superstitions. The song starts with the line "Spike in my head," which could be interpreted as the superstitions constantly weighing on the singer's mind. He expresses his superstitions in a humorous way, such as running from black cats, not washing his private parts on weekends, and avoiding certain people like taxi drivers or the wives of his friends. He even goes so far as to screw the pimp when he has sex with a prostitute.
The repetition of the chorus, "Another spike in my head," emphasizes the singer's preoccupation with his superstitions. The singer seems to be aware of how irrational his behavior is, but he also seems to be resigned to it, telling others not to bother trying to change him. Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer's superstitions are a burden, but also part of his identity and something he can't let go of.
