Stoner Rock Appreciation Thread

[anonymousnick2001]

VVVVV's was a little out-of-date, so I'll start a new one:

Recommend and/or fellate the hell out of stoner rock bands, songs, albums and culture. Anything from Mastodon to Fu Manchu to The Obsessed. Hell, even stoner-esque doom metal and stuff like Cathedral or Sunn0))).

I recently fell back in love with Kyuss.

\m/ >_< \m/

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Mastodon, Down, Kyuss, The Obsessed are great.

 

[NAD]

Kyuss
Sunn O)))
Down
House of Aquarius
Monster Magnet
Cathedral
Unida
Hammers of Misfortune (they have one doom song )
Ufomammut

Stoner/doom is pretty much the only metal I listen to right now, I've grown tired of most black/death/brown/poop/whatever, but Big n' Nasty Riffs still get me going.

 

[J.]

Slow Horse
Clutch
Slo Burn
Grand Magus

old Monster Magnet rules.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I forgot Monster Magnet. Good stuff.

 

[NAD]

Slo Burn, yes. That EP is so fucking good I really wish they would've recorded more.

I need some old Monster Magnet god dammit. GOD DAMMIT!!!

 

[Starbreaker]

Great thread!

Kyuss
Fu Manchu
Orange Goblin
Nebula

The little Monster Magnet I was exposed too seemed stoner rock lite. It seemed more spacy (with a tinge of mainstream) than down 'n dirty like the ones we've already mentioned. But I'm gonna plead ignorance. Recommend me some old Monster Magnet that I should check out that would change my mind.

Speaking of crossovers, High on Fire fucking dominate. One of my favorite new bands. Cathedral in the doom/groove crossover...another brilliant band.

I was lucky enough to see Slo Burn at Ozzfest '97 on the side stage. Best band on that stage all day.

Spiritual Beggars are pure ownage. Catchy beyond all reasonable catchiness.

 

[byrne]

yeah I'll second/third

Fun Manchu (Boogie Van!!!!)
Kyuss (Just plain rule)

I'll add
Rollerball (Australian band, possibly the laziest on the planet) but they did some wicked stuff, like a cover of 'Evie Let Your Hair Hang Down'

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

500 Ft. Of Pipe > most

The best ones are Spine of God and Dopes to Infinity.

Down think there's any chance of a third album? or will we have to wait seven years again?

 

[NAD]

I don't think Phil will be releasing anything anytime soon...

The first Down is incredible, the second was disappointing in comparison, but not a terrible album.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I actually liked the second one a little better, because the vocals weren't all "Cat Scratch Fever" if you know what I mean.

However, Down fucking own.

High on Fire own.

Orange Goblin own.

Spiritual Beggars own.

500 Ft. of Pipe own.

Nebula own.

Check out Electric Wizard and Fireball Ministry.

Hell, www.stonerrock.com

^^^That jukebox is nuts. The low quality enhances the music because it adds to the dusty desert feel of the music.

I think we might be waiting longer inf Phil is a man of his work. NOLA was an awesome album. A Bustle in Your Headgerow was very good, but defanitly not as good as NOLA.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

500 Ft. Of Pipe don't have a bassist. True story.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

They're pretty damn heavy for having no bass player.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

The vocalist plays low-end keyboards. Haha.

Dope Deal is one of the best stoner rock albums I've ever heard.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Agreed...again.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Indeed, dude.

Oh yeah everyone listen to sHEAVY if you haven't already.
