"Sleep is a stoner doom metal band from San Jose, California. Active during the 1990s, Sleep earned critical and record label attention early in their career. Critic Eduardo Rivadavia describes them as "perhaps the ultimate stoner rock band"[1] and notes they exerted a strong influence on heavy metal in the 1990s."

Check out their song -

Awesome band, Any of you heard of them?

Pretty new to this metal thing..?
Sleep then broke up and now some members formed High on Fire. Their album Jerusalem/Dopesmoker is one of the arguably 'most' influential stoner releases in the last 20 years.
 
Well, I wasn't expecting to get responses like these.

Nope. And I just copied the beginning info of their Wikipedia page.

Yeah, I think we've all heard Sleep before...
Good to know the music gets the recognition it deserves.
 
Sorry if that seemed overly aggressive...
Just that yeah, they aren't new by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe if they were new to you and you wrote such a thing and then asked for us to 'check it out and recommend similar artists'. I dunno.
I think I just write like I'm a douche bag.
 
Mate, it's a forum. Unfortunately you have to expect that people are going to attack you. Eventually, with time, they'll figure out where you are in things and then have better insults. It's the way of "The Forum".
My best advice is to ignore the stuff that's not what you want to talk about and keep talking about what you do.

So is that (OP) your favourite Sleep song or just a 'good' one that you like?
 
Good one, fuckhead. This community fucking sucks to be honest. A bunch of elitist dickheads like you need to grow up, and stop being fucking babies. I came here to discuss Metal, which I have a passion for. Not defend myself from crap like this.

You fuckheads would have no fucking guts to talk shit like this in person, I'm surprised so many people here put up with your bullshit. Planning on scolding me for my language? What are you, my mother?

The staff members can ban me, I honestly don't give a fuck. They should focus on the rest of you though, because you honestly don't know how to act like respectful adults. That's right, your a bunch of fucking babies, you treat other people like shit, hoping you will look like a "bad motherfucker" in front of the rest of the community. Do you think it's all about you? It's not. Stop being a fucking dick, and be realistic.

The only person who seems actually respectful is MotherEel. And go ahead, laugh at this message all you dickheads who posted bullshit in this topic, you all know it's true, your all fucking dicks.

Bro, you're ranting on a fucking forum over the internet. You're being trolled and you keep falling for it. This is how shit is, but it's all in good fun. For example, Krow is an asshole, but he's MY asshole. (Love you)
 
I suppose your right, doesn't mean there is nothing that can be done about it though. I'm not going to step down to pricks like those. Fuck 'em.

Yeah, it's the first one I've heard from them, so naturally I'm most familiar with it. I was driving home from work with my brother when he showed me this song. I couldn't believe it man, I loved it. I've never heard anything like it before. I admit, I don't know too much about them, but I'm still checking their stuff out.

I'm listening to their Dopesmoker right now, it's a good album. Their riffs are honestly like nothing I've ever heard before.

No, man I don't have the same mentality as you guys. An internet forum doesn't mean it has to be full of pricks who try to humiliate you in the process. What ever happened to a good fucking community? Honestly, it's fucking weak to "Accept" the fact of letting people be assholes towards you, treating you like dirt for no apparent reason.
 
Classic album! You really gotta be stoned or tripping to absorb the spirit of the album. I've found that with a lot of Stoner/Doom bands.

I would agree, I don't smoke though. I've never been stoned, I don't need shit like that, I'm just fine the way I am.

That doesn't mean I can't appreciate the music just as everyone else does, maybe I appreciate it in a different way, who knows. Have any Sleep songs you would recommend to me? I haven't heard all their music yet. Hell, you should recommend me more bands similar to them, if you know any. I'd be happy to hear them.
 
Right, I missed that. I'll check them out. I've heard about half of them, Pentagram is great too. Reminds me of sabbath, they could have been as well known as sabbath too if the singer wasn't a fucking druggy haha.
 
Yes, I had a response to that, but the moderators must have finally got tired of the crap going on in the thread and deleted half of it.
 
If I'm going to be serious, Church of Misery and Electric Wizard are my favorite bands similar to Sleep.
