Stoner Train's music is a mix of the bearish vocal which makes children cry, the tough harp reminding a gritting of iron in a bloody fight, the shaman percussion which rhythm forces you to up your ass, and the charming guitar making you to drink a couple of bottles of beer and to start on a neverending satanic dance!
Stoner Train originally comes from Moscow, Russia. Founded in 2011 the band started playing Stoner/Blues/Southern and released 2 LP albums that caught the attention of the underground scene in different countries.
In 2013 Serj Gdanian moved to Berlin and met Ivan Mostacci (Italy), with whom the band recorded the third LP album “III”. At the moment the band is playing around Europe and preparing new material for their next studio album.

Gandalf Took The Drug
Stoner Train Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gandalf Took The Drug
From the top of the mountain rocks are falling down,
Purple clouds are flying above the lonely town.
From the heart of the forest runs a burning tree,
Giant mushrooms are laughing at what they see.
Gandalf took the drug,
The wizard wants to rock,
Gandalf took the drug.
Frodo Baggins is dancing in the cloud of smoke,
Crazy king of the pigs is telling funny jokes.
Crying walrus is riding a horny snake,
Happy horses are swimming in the yellow lake.
Gandalf took the drug,
Gandalf took the drug,
The wizard wants to rock,
Crazy wizard!
Come on, oh yeah...
The lyrics of "Gandalf Took the Drug" by Stoner Train paint a psychedelic picture of a fantastical world quite unlike the one we know. The song begins with the image of rocks falling from a mountain top and purple clouds hanging above a lonely town. These surreal descriptions set the tone for a song that takes the listener on a journey through strange lands and unlikely scenarios.
The mention of "burning trees" and "laughing mushrooms" adds to the otherworldly feel of the song, before the lyrics shift to the title character, Gandalf. We learn that he has taken a drug - which drug, we can only imagine - and that he "wants to rock." The chorus repeats this sentiment, with Gandalf's desire to rock becoming more and more urgent with each refrain.
The second verse introduces even more bizarre characters, including Frodo Baggins (of Lord of the Rings fame) dancing in a cloud of smoke, a "crazy king of pigs" telling jokes, and a walrus riding a horny snake. The verse ends with the image of happy horses swimming in a yellow lake. The song ends with a call to action - "Come on!" - implying that the listener is invited to join in the wild and trippy ride that Stoner Train has crafted.
Overall, "Gandalf Took the Drug" is a song that celebrates the absurd and revels in the surreal. It is a journey through a bizarre and fantastical world that is both strange and alluring.
