Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Grew up on wrestling. Watched hulk hogan body slam Andre live. Spending summers and holidays in New York I was blessed to go to some ECW shows. I wanna find a Joey styles omg ring tone so bad! Did wrestling school and got liscenced. I was ate up with wrestling. I can't watch wwe now. Its terrible. Plots and characters are weak. The wrestling is sloppy and lazy. Every now and again its fun to catch some good wrestling on telemundo.

I was thinking about how I liked Mr. Perfect and Bret Hart a lot when I was younger. Those guys were pretty precise.
Good tip. Those Mexicans are crazy! High flying and tumbling around. Very fun to watch.
 
Stacia, yeah a few minutes maybe.
You liked Lemmy though? Interesting. That's an hr and a half of people taking turns jerking him off. :p
VH1 behind the music needs to come back. You could watch a bunch of those! Dirty laundry and drug addiction. "They were on top of the world. But eventually it would all come crashing down."

Oh I just thought it was funny, him sitting in a bar all day playing video poker or making French fries and doing speed.

There's a pretty good Flaming Lips one. The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Anvil... hmmm... You've probably seen all these already. You could watch Metallica be a bunch of whiny pansies....

Ohh, get ripped and watch Butthole Surfers: Blind Eye Sees All. Not a documentary but there is some interviews mixed in with a great live show.

Dug the Flaming Lips, pretty wild he still lives in the poor part of town, getting held up working at Long John Silvers, and his junkie brother.

Anvil was depressing as hell.

Need to see that butthole surfers flick. Is it on YouTube?
 
I liked how they were b*tching about how they never made it. But they are touring countries over seas. Sure the crowds are non existent and they are getting d*cked over. Still seems cool too me? Maybe my dreams are not ambitious enough.

Yeah it's on youtube :)
 
Hated the pentagram doc, by the end I wanted to kick bobbies ass to the curb. What a douche to his parents.

im sorry but this whole infatuation with pentagram is hilarious. the band was literally irrelevant for decades, and all the sudden doom/stoner music is getting some recognition and suddenly pentagram are the godfathers of it? i dont think so.

and on top of it, they just arent very good. relentless is an ok record, and thats about it.

Yea to still be playing that dated music anywhere when they weren't that big to begin with is pretty cool I guess, but he's pretty delusional to think he'd ever get truly famous off it. I'd focus more on a new music or my day job, to hell with delivering cafeteria food or whatever to fund my mullet.
 
Pentagram played as a headliner on a stoner festival here in Warsaw. I didn't listen to much of their music, but but it seemed ok at the beginning. Then, the vocalist ran to the stage flailing his arms and legs, he looked as if my father grew long hair, made a crude eye makeup and acted like he was 16. I left. Besides, Acid King opened for them, that night couldn't possibly get any better anyway.

As for the documentaries, check out Jodorowsky's Dune. It's pretty cool, Jodorowsky wanted to make Dune in mid 70's with Salvador Dali in it, but it backfired and they never started filming. Watching it right now. All the sketches of costumes, starships, locations etc are pretty far out.
