Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

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:


I already know both! Great bands!

But more recommendations are veeeery welcome :bookworm:

Room 429! Strapping Young Lad!
That's how I learned about Cop Shoot Cop, anyway.

BTW I'm browsing a list right now and jeeeeesus... There are so many bands I didn't want to remember :smug:

Hehehee, it was a genre that became commercialized and awful remarkably quickly after Nirvana. Anything that is a first release by a "grunge" band after Nevermind came out is almost surely awful. But then again, 90% of everything is crap, so.

It reminds me of what Mark Arm said in Metal Evolution:
Mark Arm: Like what the F<beep> is this? And if those bands have grunge influences and somehow I'm responsible for grunge, F<beep>ing kill me.

ME: Why do you feel that way?

Mark Arm: Have you *heard* the bands? :D

Yeah they sucked. Most of them sucked. And Mother Love Bone sucked even before Nirvana became famous :D

And of course five minutes after that, I see this for the first time:



I mean, I'm surely no Christian. But the dude knows how to verbally condemn something. I'm sure if Covid-19 had feelings, it would use them to feel really chastized right now. The guy setting it to music follows his tempo changes really well, though! :D

BWAHAHAHAHA it's sooo fitting with the music :roflmao:
reminded me of "Sacred Heart" by Crust or this weird release on the Tzadik label "Lunatic Fringe" series from a few years ago :smug:



Fun record.

I saw Clutch open for Tad in Kansas City in 94 or 95. Great show. If I remember right, Clutch opened, then Tad played, then the local support band played.
Man...I remember seeing Tad open for Primus...Thats a name I have not heard of in a long time.
 
Any Dungeons & Dragons fans here? In two days I'll be playing D&D for the second time in my life. I'll be a Gnome, and likely a Bard, that's all I know now. My daughter will surely be an unwavering Dungeon Master.

The first time I played D&D I was 20, and I'm 53 now. So it seems I do this every 33 years, or 3x per century. Do you have a thing you practice three times per century? :laugh:

I like D&D but have never been able to find a stable group. I also haven't looked that hard, though.

I played in High School, picked it up again last year (25 years later) due to lockdown. Now playing as Dungeon Master for a weekly game...we are doing the Curse of Strahd adventure. Definitely appropriate for DOOOOOOMY bass lines and fuzz noise. We use Roll20 and D&DBeyond to play virtually...

It's been a fun enough alternative to weekly band practice. Hopeful that will start again soon!

Just to let you know I kept chuckling all day
like an idiot for this video, 77 views are mine :smug:

I demand judgement on you
I demand
I DE-MAND!
