Stoner/Doom Bassists 55: Speaker whore anonymous

[Ron Now]

they probably weren't selling well. a lot of the people buying Bergs are more interested in the Fearful style cabs, light weight, full range etc. Bergantino isn't exactly the first think many rockers and doomers think of when looking for a big cab.

This is definitely true.

Every sound guy we work with is always super interested in my cabs, and has good things to say once we're done.

Also I've now had two friends borrow one of my cabs at a show and then end up buying their own because they like it so much...slowly taking over Chicago haha

It's a shame Bergantino discontinued the NV line, but I imagine they just weren't selling well enough. Too big to keep making them, too small to keep making them.

I like the sample where it keeps saying "I heart radio" really progressive of them.

New Sabbath single: Invalid Link Removed

listening now.

this will be so bad lol.

made it half way thru. if this wasnt black sabbath, nobody would care at all.

 

[MICKUSS]

What? Are your bandmates non helping ********?

I like the sample where it keeps saying "I heart radio" really progressive of them.

That's Rick Rubin's modern production techniques!

 

[MICKUSS]

It's actually better than I expected it to be. I like how Geezer is sounding(not as much as his classic sound though).

 

[LOCOPELAND]

doesn't want to load for me...

****, do i really want it to? ehhhhh...

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Not bad. Kind of boring. I could list 50 other bands that have released something in the past year that I'd rather listen to than this.

 

[beebassdude]

lol, listen to any song off of their first 6 albums, then listen to that.

please report back without laughing.

 

[Ron Now]

The middle section "bridge" where it picks up the tempo for a bit is kind of cool, otherwise pretty boring overall.

as bee said, if it wasn't black Sabbath no one would care....kind of the same as the last MBV record too.

 

[LOCOPELAND]

yeah, this track is pretty ****in' boring.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

It's not bad. Revisiting the first album with less enthusiasm.

 

[beebassdude]

im glad a lot of you arent metallica fans. im worried you would have tried to tell me St Anger was "pretty good". hahaha

 

[Ron Now]

I really can't think of a good example of a band who has been able to put out a record that was as good or even comparable to their heyday material 20+ years after the fact.

Anyone?

St. Anger was crap, but the latest one they did with Trujillo was pretty effin' kick ass, no lie!

its just not possible. technology, gear, playing style, guys voices change over time, band members change, etc.

i think the CLOSEST (at least for me) was Alice in Chains last album, Black Gives Way to Blue. came out in 2009 and sounds pretty close to their heyday stuff (not as heavy/dirty as Dirt, but had a good combo of that and Jar of Flies). Those came out in 92/94, so were talking about a 15-17 year gap. pretty close.

thats all i got. bands that try to rehash their sound two decades later always fail miserably.

yikes. we'll have to agree to disagree on that one before i seriously get banned from this site lol.

I thought Maiden's "Brave New World" was pretty strong, although it might be a few years shy of the 20 year mark.

New Sabbath isn't actually bad, and I say that having listened through Paranoid up to Sabotage on the way in and out of work today. Doubt I'll be rushing to listen to it again though.
