Stoner rock

[PiercedFromWithin]

Anyone knows some great bands? I'm gaining interest on this particular genre since I bought the latest Queens of the stone age.

Here's what I own now (and that's all I know)

- QOTSA - Songs for the deaf
- QOTSA - Rated R (Man, this is so
cool...especially the song "better living through chemistry"...wicked riffage!)

- Kyuss - Welcome to the sky Valley
- Kyuss - And the circus leaves town

All these albums kick my ass...
Josh Homme is really a guitar god.

So, thanks in advance

I don't know much about the genre, although I love Kyuss.

I just know certain names of bands that I believe are part of the genre, but know very little about them...

Masters of Reality, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu (Kyuss's former drummer, Brant Bjork, plays in this band)

If you go on www.amazon.com and look up some of these bands, I'm sure many of the the related artists will also be stoner rock and can try and look more up from there.

Dude....you HAVE to get The obsessed - "The church within" Wino is a God amongst stoner rockers. Also, check out some St. Vitus, Spirit Caracan, Bad Wizard, SHevy, the sattelite circle, the glasspack, clutch, and many others I cant htink of right now. By far my favorite genre....Oh, and the first QOTSA cd is better than both of the new ones! And if you ar einto Kyuss, I recomend getting "Blues for the red sun" IMMEDIATLY. It is the definative stoner rock album.

 

[ricochet]

Yeah, you are obviously familiar with Kyuss.

I also recommed St. Vitus a lot. They were one of the first big bands from New Orleans. I'd also recommend Spirit Caravan, Orange Goblin, Sheavy, Electric Wizard, Goatsnake, and Count Raven.

Not really into the genre but Down is a great band.

 

[DigestingGandhi]

Down, stoner rock? bwahhaa....they try, but are unsucessful.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Kushantaiidan]

I love Big Elf.. check them out..

Stoner Rock with more 70's proggy sounding Hammond keyboards etc..

Fucking great stuff though..

 

[Revelation #9]

It depends on your definition of it. I like Cathedral, Down, And Goatsnake. Las Cruces is pretty good too.

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Kyuss, High On Fire, Sleep, Goatsnake, Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, Fireball Ministry, end.

I see lots of Doom Metal in here... but thats ok... Doom and Stoner all originate from the one band...

BLACK SABBATH

Greatest band ever...

You know it's true...

To me, stoner rock is music that makes sense when you're wasted on magic mushroom, acid, LSD, etc...

Thank you all, I'll sure check these bands out

What the fuck is stoner rock? Phish and the Greatful Dead? Old Floyd (first 3 albums)?

 

[Satori]

Hey Pierced, I see you are from Quebec... (I'm a mostly french Newfie living in Toronto, heheh). Ever hear of a band out of Montreal called Bliss? They played heavy grungy rock that was pretty proggy, groovy, and demented.

[raccyd]

first QOTSA album is amazing- really great guitar work and riffs so get that one. masters of reality, desert sessions albums, fu manchu, there's some good spirit caravan stuff. you can also check out www.stonerrock.com.

 

[Carnage]

Yeah, Sleep and High on Fire, rock on!
Be sure to check out Corrupted and Iron Monkey! Bongzilla is great too!

No haven't heard from bliss...but I'll check 'em out too.

And when will Opeth come to Canada dammit, I can't wait to see them live!

Deux Newfies sont à la chasse aux lapins. Un dit à l'autre:
- C'est pas facile d'attirer le lapin. Le plus dur, c'est de se cacher dans les buissons et d'imiter le cri de la carotte.

Well, I really enjoy Nebula, but they get kind of boring.

"To The Center" is my fav song.

Then the Norwegian bands that I like...

Stonegard... Pretty young stoner rock, but I still like it.

"St.One (the days we broke our heads)" is really groovy )

But my fav is Honcho.

Check out 'Dead Medow' and 'Natas'. Both very gud.

 

[Silentjohan]
