I honestly hate calling the genre this but im talking about bands such as Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Nebula, BLS to some extent, etc. Personally, my fav band is Kyuss and i think Scott Reeder could be one of the most underated bassplayers of the 90's, so who digs this kind of music at TB?

their music makes me feel slightly nauseous now, since it was playing in his room when we came back from a very drunken night and the swaying repetitive rythem made me throw up.

Damn, I miss Rick Bass.

I do not partake in the partakables, but Heaviness that grooves with floaty melodic whatnot on top of it. Whenever I pickup a guitar, I sound "stoner" or "doom"... probably because it's such rhythmically based heaviness, and I'm a bassist...
... I mean... I wasn't here... I didn't post this...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: Germany (org. Preston, UK) | | heck yeah! I love it. I used to be more into it that at the moment, but wow, when I didcoverd it I was like "this is what I've been looking for all these years" 
Started of with "Queens of the Stoneage" who I saw live a few weeks after hearing "Feel good hit for the summer" album for the first time. Then went on to The dessert sessions. I was obsessed with getting them all, for worrieing of missing something. Then came the mighty "kyuss", with thair heavy sound and blew me away again, as well as the rest of the family tree of those guys.
My latest fav. with Josh Homme are the band with the misleading name "Eagles of Deathmetal". I can't quite dicribe what it is, but it sounds like some songs on some of the the Dessert sessions.
Stoner Rock = yay!

Although, I've never heard Kyuss, I've heard lots of people talking about them, so I'll have to check them out. My personal new favorite "stoner rock" band would be Clutch. I just bought Blast Tyrant on a whim and I love it! I'd also consider Corrosion of Conformity's "Deliverance" album as "stoner rock" as well as some Black Sabbath.

Fu Manchu kinda bothers me, I own California Crossing, the singer kinda talk sings, it gives every song a similar vibe.
The only Kyuss album I own is And the circus leaves town, which I'm told is their worst, and I love it. So I'll be buying more.
Though this is crossing over to "Doom Metal" (the heavier brother of Stoner Rock), Sabbath fans should check out Cathedral.

It's caught up with Metallica's Master of Puppets as the most listened-to album in my collection. And Queens of the Stone Age's Rated R is definately great as well, listened to it twice a day for about a week straight. But outside of those 2 and Black Sabbath, I haven't listened to any other "stoner" bands.
Superjoint Ritual is a thrash metal band full of stoners, so does that count as stoner rock?

I was in the photo lab, and this guy was playing some stoner rock that was totally killer, and it seemed almost every track started out with some audio blurb about pot from the news or whatever. How much more stoner can you get. Really thick heavy grooves... don't know who it was though.
With a message that obvious, could it have been Bongzilla?

I strongly recommend getting "Welcome to Sky Valley" as your next Kyuss album. IMO this was Kyuss's best line up with Brant Bjork on drums and Scot Reeder on bass. The album will BLOW YOUR MIND..with or without the greens
