Stoner/DOOM Bassists part 35: Colorado Bound - Page 29

Thinking about all this band recommendation talk and seeing this band brought up numerous times before by different people (which has convinced me this is def the place for me)....

Do you guys consider Bolt Thrower to be doom metal, or doom influenced? or do you consider them something else?

I've heard too many times them described as death metal, and to me they are not DM at all in the slightest bit. Yes they have alot of gain on the guitars and double kick beats, but its slow, super heavy, and at time melodic.

if you like Sleep check out OM which is/was 2/3 of Sleep while High on Fire is 1/3 of Sleep. Eyehategod for some mix of sludge and crusty kinds of doom. Neurosis is another heavy hitter. Shrinebuilder is one of best supergroup kind of things with a bunch of stoner/doom legends. YOB is another really incredible band in the stoner/doom scene.

I'll second all of Laz's picks. Weedeater is a good band to get into, from North Carolina too. Zoroaster is from the ATL. Check them out if you can.

Buy the Meteor City Records Comp ...And Back to Earth Again. It's 3CD's with a ton of good bands to get your feet wet. You can find it (at allthatisheavy.com) for a pretty good price. I got mine for like $12 and it had been on sale for $6.66.

Oh, yea. I'll be on these too. Funny, instead of spending My time and coins on more bass gear I dont need(lol), I'll get back to spending it on some new tunes. Love it!

One last recommendation, familiarize yourself with Small Stone Records: http://www.smallstone.com/

A bunch of medium sized bands are supported by them. They have almost 100 bands on their label and at least 1/4 of them are on constant rotation for my listening!

And now My head is spinning, rock on!

To hell with going to try out for this band tonight, I may just sit on My arse and do some listening.

there's always internet for listening to music go to the try out!!!!

BTW are those your Jag basses in your avatar? I have a MP Jag bass identical to the one on the right and love it! The only quarrel is I wish the nut spacing was 1 11/16 like my p-bass, other then that its amazing for the price i paid.

There is also a TB Stoner/DOOM band list somewhere, too. I have really enjoyed listening to all your guys' music. Hopefully, you have all enjoyed mine too.

Also, www.vibrationsofdoom.com has an archived albums section with so many old school doom and death bands. I highly recommend all of you guys to check out Steve Cannon's page. He does a weekly podcast too. Really good stuff.

Yeah, me too. I'm on a schedule of about 1 show a year for the past 4 or so and it's been over a year since the last one. Before that I played A LOT of show, steadily for a long time, so I was ok for a long time. It's getting to me now though, big time.

Yes, those are Mine. The red one is a Japanese Fender Jag, that I took all the flash'n'dash off of. One is a MP, basically stock. One is a MP Body with a VM Squier Jag neck. All got the same pickup and bridge appointments ( EMG PJ set and Badass II). IMO- the MP stuff is a damned good bargain, all around.

So is it normal to have train tracks in the middle of the road in smaller cities? this is a first for me.

Lazarus.Bird · #**574** 11-14-2012, 03:27 PM

Lol, parallel running right down the street? That's a first for me. In San Diego there's something similar but it's the public transportation trolley.

Holy crap, never seen that before. BART goes right down the middle of the street and highways in the SF bay area, but there are at least concrete curbs, if not full medians and walkways on either side.

Lazarus.Bird · #**576** 11-14-2012, 03:34 PM

Actually Salt Lake City has public transportation trains that run down the middle of the street too, and they aren't even separated by any barriers. I was out there for work, working with the SLC Fire Dept. I told them I thought it was a terrible design, and asked how many calls a week they get because of car + train collisions. They said they didn't want to talk about it haha.

Right down the middle and they are big ass trains. also the traffic lights are not coordinated with the train so just because its green doesnt mean there isnt a train coming through. it just blows its horn all the way through town and you just have to avoid it. theres a train that comes through at 5:30 am everyday...would suck to live in this part of town

Yeah we have little tram cars in Toronto and some other cities but not full on frieght trains.

****, what's that movie where a guy is staying at a hotel and a train wakes him up at like 5:00 am, and he asked the hotel guy if that's normal and the guy says no. Then next day, train wakes him up at 4:30, and asks the guy why he said no and the guy says normally it comes earlier. Driving me nuts that I can't remember now.
