No, I think he means like eating milk and cookies, getting his diaper changed then getting burped.

This.

>Implying potheads can't be productive. Last year's valedictorian would like a word with you. As well as many famous scientists, musicians, artists, and philosophers, they wanna talk too.

I'm really REALLY liking The Sword right now. Damn.

Hell yeah!

You're welcome.

Like 'bating to indie rock and PT actually.

[Birch Boy]

Listening to The Sword's Gods Of The Earth. Fuck yeah.

[wolfking]

Listening to The Sword's Gods Of The Earth. Fuck yeah.

I should seriously check this band out!

Do it! They're honestly one of my favorite bands. I still need to get their new album, but I have "Tres Brujas"... check that out too!

Warp Riders is pretty fucking good.

I love, love the title-track.

[Birch Boy]

"Inhaling deeply of the sacred smoke, slipping in between the worlds"

Love that line from "Tres Brujas"!

[Basekick]

God's Of The Earth?   

Pfffft.  That albums a flying turd compared to Age of Winters and Warp Riders.

If anyone's looking for more of the sludgey/drone aspects of stoner metal, listen to "Holy Mountain" by Sleep.  If you want more of the groove-laden riff heavy stuff, listen to "Mantra III" or "Ad Astra" by Spiritual Beggars.  There are many others to look as well, but these will establish which side of the coin you prefer, and you can go from there.

Edit:  And seriously, those who think that listeners to Stoner rock/metal must smoke bud or whatever are completely hollow in their head.  Seriously.

[Seventh Son]

I prefer Dopesmoker to Holy Mountain personally, but I think I mentioned HM in the thread already. But both are awesome! 

[Jakartabassplayer]

When I first met you, you didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind

[True Death of Life]

I've been listening to a lot of Electric Wizard lately, mainly just their latest album, Black Masses, over an over. It's pretty amazing shit.

I have never touched drugs either, but I can't resist their tongue-in-cheek aspect to their music and the low, wailing riffs and crushing basslines.  (And how about the Mellotron on "The Nightchild"?)


I can't stop listening to "Crypt of Drugula" for some reason...creepy as hell. And when it comes to music, I can't get enough of straight-up creepy.

[SPNKr]

Have you heard of Down, Crowbar, Stonehelm, High On Fire, Lair Of The Minotaur, shit like that?

[True Death of Life]

Cole has shown me some Down and I loved that. But not any of the other bands, no.

[SPNKr]

First, you will require Crowbar because Kirk Windstein is also a lead guitarist of Down. Down is a supergroup actually, and they all love Black Sabbath (specifically Iommi).
Crowbar's self titled I actually heard last Friday. Massively heavy.

[True Death of Life]

Looking into them right now. Any albums you recommend?

[SPNKr]

I recommend 1993's Crowbar. That's their best as well. They have a new one out maybe next month! I hope so.
Stonehelm gave me a link to their unreleased album, they're unsigned, but that stuff sounds SOOOOOO stoned. You'll wanna take up mary jane . They're quite Sabbath influenced too!
I can PM you a link.

Epic thread bump.

Was doing some cd browsing today where I surprisingly saw a copy of Sleep's Jerusalem!!  I instantly thought of this thread and Dopesmoker being recommended.  I looked on the back and saw it was indeed one track at 52 minutes length.  I picked it up and am about 12 minutes through it at the moment.  Insanely brutal stuff.  Again, I'm not a pot head at all, but this shit is damn good.  I'm loving Pike's soloing at the moment.  I love how he is clearly Iommi influenced by tracking two different solos in the left and right channels.

I have to search for Dopesmoker now, as I read it's 10 minutes longer. 

[SPNKr]

wolf I think you'll like Stonehelm. Let me know if you're interested. Details above your post actually, forgot I wrote that.

[wolfking]

Yeah man, anything Sabbath like, I'm into.

Man, this song is amazing, how the hell am I 33 minutes into this and still enjoying it? 

[ZBomber]

Sleep is brutally awesome, my friend and I were in a stoner metal mood last night and they came up several times in the playlist, of course! 

[lodeus]

Kyuss
Down
The Sword
Sleep
High on Fire
 

[Iarwain]

Is "Om" considered stoner? They don't sound a lot like other stoner bands I know, but I always feel I should be smoking something while listening to them.

Also, The Melvins are awesome , although I like Bullhead more than Houdini.

Bumping this thread because of the newly released The Sword song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqodh4DEHOc

Also, one of my favorite doom bands Ahab is coming out with their 3rd album "The Giant" this month. Here are samples and the title track:

[Ravenheart]

Electric Wizard and Sleep are awesome. I need to listen to more of both bands.

[lateralus88]

Yob are basically the best stoner/doom/sludge metal band to have ever graced my ears. And you know what's great, fucking missing their show here in Seattle because I was born in 1991 and not 1990.
