Stoner/Doom Bassists 51: Back To The Future

Really excited to see them on 4/19. Somehow this will be my first time seeing them.

I am considering making the drive (5 hours) to Toronto for 04/18.

I will agree that Earth Rocker is pretty ****in' solid. I like it more every time I listen to it, as well. Cyborg Betty is probably my favorite track, but I also really like DC Sound Attack & Book, Saddle, and Go.

DC Sound Attack is great, "Hell hounds on your trail, what a pity! Shaking hands in necro city"

Gone Cold is the only one I keep skipping. too slow for me.
 
I love Gone Cold. Lots of cool dynamics and atmospheric stuff. Reminds me a lot of the acoustic version of Motherless Child. Sometimes you say more by saying less. Definitely doesn't fit into the high energy template of the rest of the album, but I like it.

Tomorrow is the official release, right? I never got around to preordering it because I couldn't decide what package I wanted lol.
 
I'm going to download the new Clutch tomorrow from iTunes I think, when it's officially out. I wanted to order the vinyl + tshirt + sticker package, but they're sold out. In the meantime, I'm rocking out to Alice Cooper's "Love It To Death".
 
World's most terrifying bridges, unrelated but cool
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I've been to one of those, the Capilano suspension bridge, when I went with my parents to Expo 86 with my parents in BC. I remember my dad trying to convince me to go across it, me taking about 3 steps and going "nope" and back right off. I think my mom and dad laughed, then started to walk across and someone in the middle jumped, then they turned around and said "Mmmm...yeah, nope".
 
Any Swollen Pickle fans in here? Just got a good deal on one so decided to try it out. I think it's gonna sound great in noise/drone sections, but I'm not 100% convinced about it the rest of the time. Any suggested settings?

Yeah I loved my Swollen Pickle but upgraded to a Pickle Pie.This thread has some good suggestions for a starting point for bass with the internal trim pots.

That's a trip.I had to cross this crazy three point wire bridge over a raging river and I mean raging(fall in I am pretty sure you are dead) in Army Basic Training, it was kind of fun though, but creepy as all get out.
 
Yeah those bridges look dangerous. You could live in PA and wonder if you're going to plummet to your death in the comfort of your own car on a near daily basis :rolleyes:. And if they fix the bridges, prepare to have your commute completely screwed for the unforseeable future.

Just last week we were on the way to the car dealership and went over a bridge that was ridiculously uneven. My wife was like "Yeah this seems safe...".

Far and away my favorite Alice Cooper album. Great bass playing on that one. A friend of mine had the 8 track when we were in high school, we used to listen to that over and over again.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite albums. The theatricality of Alice Cooper usually ends up being the only thing discussed about the band, but Love It To Death is just a solid, diverse and interesting rock album.
 
Got the job, if I pass said drug test. Good thing no money = no green. but just in case, H2O chugging starting now...glug, glug, glug



Practice tonight, hopefully well start recording our demo, since my guitarist picked up a better computer that can handle our new mixer.
