Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

New Hedvig Mollestad Trio album :thumbsup::bassist::thumbsup:
Never heard of them. Started listening on YT as soon as I'd read your post. :)
First impression: very cool. They remind me a bit of the Travis Larsen trio, but more playful. Ms Mollestad really can look at her guitar like she thinks: "Hey, this thing can make cool sounds!"

Thanks for mentioning them.
 
Just noticed that on this site of prudes there is a user whose nickname means c##k in a veeery vulgar Sicilian :smug:

Kudos! :smug:
 
I’ve never dug into TAD, but will try to do so!

I read Mark Lanegan’s book recently, so I’ve been going back through Screaming Trees’ discography. I don’t enjoy their early stuff too much (neither does Lanegan), but Sweet Oblivion and Dust are great albums.

I highly recommend Lanegan’s book to any fans of 90s music. His life is crazier than I ever imagined, and he tells tons of great stories about all the artists the Trees were associated with.
 
I got a little bit of nostalgia today and relistened to stuff of my youth.
When we talked about the grunge years weeks ago Tad didn't come out, surpisingly... Any fans?
Such BIG, HEAVY, FAT RIFFS :bassist:
I never listened to them, but do know that my favorite HM-2 clone, the Earthbound Audio Throat Locust is named for a song of theirs. The PCB has "Listen to Tad" or something etched on it. No idea if they ever used an HM-2 or anything of the sort.

And now I'm currently listening to the namesake song for the first time. Solid, and worth a listen. I certainly prefer it to most stuff on the radio these days!

Hehehehe, I know I mentioned them a few pages back through Foetus covering "Behemoth", but that's not a direct mention. I loves me some TAD. Still have my copy of God's Balls bought when I was young-ish.

My first exposure was "Sex God Missy" from Sub Pop 200



(dangit, I love the multiple whammy bar solos)

A favorite I look up often just because it contains so many tones I love (and well, it's a pretty neato vid) is "Wood Goblins"



And well, partly because I found out about him on the same comp I found out about TAD from. And also because he apparently interviewed Tad Doyle once. Also, this poem kind of scares the bejeezus out of me on some levels. It's not for the faint of heart. It's very like a poem delivered by a street preacher who's probably a little dangerous, you might want to walk on. But dammit, even though I'm not certain what it's about, it's art. And damn, how do my lyrics compare to that?
Stephen J. Bernstein, "Come out Tonight"

Seriously, it's just poetry, but it's pretty much all screamed at you. You have been warned, not for fragile folks. Damn, he kicked ass.
 
I think my music search next weekend will be "lesser known grunge bands that I have missed", I never investigated the ""genre"" much, aside from the bands I knew back then.

I don't know if you are familiar with them, but one of the great lesser known bands from back then are Cop Shoot Cop (who had two bass players, but have a synth, so maybe more D-rock than grunge-y):



(Really, that whole comp is great)

And well, I just don't feel right if I don't have a little Lubricated Goat every few months:
