Any stoner rock fans around here?

[The Revox]

We're fan of all that Black Sabbath kind of music and we even have a second band to play it loud. We already met fews garagist who played in stoner bands too.

Who here loves that heavy music ?

[Alex]

This guy.  Big fan of the Sabbath, of course.  I also dig Saint Vitus (saw them live last year, and they put on quite a show), Kyuss, Sleep, The Sword, Buzzoven, Electric Wizard, Graveyard, Harvey Milk, Melvins, Monster Magnet, Orange Goblin, Pagan Altar, Red Fang, Witchfinder General, and Whores (more recent, album was produced by someone from Harvey Milk).

In a little more of a punk direction (and probably more appropriate for this website), I really like Lecherous Gaze (definitely a heavy Black Flag influence) and Witch (J. Masics plays drums in this punk/metal group).

Cool -- will definitely check out Witch. Big J. fan here.

YES! Huge fan! All that early 70s prog stuff (so much riff!) all the way to the likes of Earthless and Sunn. And basically, anything in between. And Sleep! 

Been really into Windhand and Thou lately.

I listened lot to kyuss before. but im not fan of this high pitch singing that is very often in these kind of bands (kyuss got their cool songs thou). and i'm also not fan of this most manly voice in the world like down. For me pure screaming fits best to this kind of music. bands like Eyehategod, Weedeater and Bongzilla do this very well. I'm also fan for scary doom straight from Black Sabbath like Electric Wizard, Saint Vitus, Goatsnake... Electric Wizard is one of my alltime favorite bands. I forgot about Fu Manchu, they talk more than sing that is good, and they rock.

I agree, a lot of times for me, the singer will make or break a band. That's why I'm into Windhand, they have a chick singer, but the singing is more atmospheric than trying to sound like a manly man.

Good to see stoner fans around ! I will have to post the links to our second band (same bass player, same drummer, different guitarist) here, we re waiting for the mastering of our 1st album. And good new for Axel and Frank, we are 90% instrumental !

Anyone who knows me , knows I love The Cheer , and The Purps and The Sabs to a lesser extent. A lot of great , obscure , early 70's Hard Rock has been reissued , lately. I even like Iron Butterfly. I saw 'em in '96 , and they blew my head off. But , I never got into the newer "Stoner Rock " bands. I understand what they're doing , but I'm a bigger fan of some of the bands  that , whether it was obvious or not , influenced the new movement.

In case any of you guys are interested, I came across this blog that specializes in late '60's-mid '70's proto metal, doom, stoner, heavy prog & psych, and yes, even snotty garage. It's called "The Day After the Sabbath", and Rich (who operates the blog) unearths lots of obscurities from all around the globe. He does widen the span a bit to go into the '80's, and will also include newer bands from the stoner rock genre, usually doing a cover. I know this thread is narrowing on the newer scene, but there is TONS of stuff on there for download that you guys would dig. Check it out here: http://www.aftersabbath.com/

Fuck yeah, Electric Wizard, it's only been in the past year that I've been turned onto DopeThrone, and EyeHateGod drip with hate! Always looking for new types of metal (but not nu-metal)...

How many of you older folks out there went through the ol' 'I'm a punk now, and all metal/hard-rock sucks!' It bit me at the start of '84 (think that's Metal's all-time-low for units sold, w/ alla those hairspray metal bands). Sold my Priest, AC/DC, and a buncha lame-ass others. What got me back into it initially was hearing Motorhead, then after that, more experimental metal. Glad I came back! But Hairspray-Metal Still Sucks!

I used to be a big metal fan, but I'm not much into it these days.  Getting into punk rock has made me appreciate Black Sabbath a lot more, and I also like Blue Cheer, mainly their first album, "Vincebus Eruptum."  Led Zeppelin leaves me kind of cold nowadays; no rip on the band, but they just don't do anything for me anymore.  Not quite certain if they fall into this category, but I still like Guns'n'Roses.  Oh, and I also still like UFO.  They recorded some really cool power ballads WITHOUT the cheesiness of those 80s bands, long before power ballads became the norm.
