The channel has now gone stoner rock! What stoner/desert rock band should i talk about next?

*Guitarist's guide to stoner rock* Step 1: buy a bass Step 2: buy the first 4 Black Sabbath albums on vinyl

Short version: stoner rock is like Sabbath, except more Sabbath-y.

*does NOT like to be labelled "stoner rock"* *is called dopesmoker*

Stoner rock/metal has been by far the most fun sub-genre to jump into. Such an array of sounds across all albums and artists. Weedeater and acid bath are always my go to recommendations to set someone on the path

Dopethrone. That’s it.

I love that the channel has started leaning towards guitar lately. I'd like to take you up on your offer if you'd like to chat, platform is your choice.

Thanks to Alice in Chains, they introduced me to SOOO many other artists, and then to Kyuss, which lead to desert rock (or 'stoner' rock) is now one of my favorite types of music!

Step one : smoke a ounce of weed Step three : slave ten amps together half them dirty half them clean. Step ten: eat a jalapeño.

I highly recomend King Gizzard and the lizard wizard

Dopethrone by Electric Wizard is my favourite stoner album. Love the vocals and the drum lines, especially on funeralopolis!

All them witches

No Electric Wizard?

I've been playing like this for decades and never knew it had a name. Thanks!

Boris is a gem of a band. Listen to their whole catalogue if you can. Absolutely mesmerizing.

Josh credits his "Kyuss" sound from 2 things"A Bass cabinet with two 15' woofers & no other speaker cabinet",And secondly he cites his guitar"A late 70's early 80's Neck-Through body Solid body Ovation Electric guitar"(used on all the recordings for Kyuss, can also be seen in any home video taken from this era). That sound he got on blues for The red sun, welcome to sky valley, and the circus leaves town,Queens of the Stone age Kyuss split EP(where they cover "Black Sabbath-Into the Void"). Is probably my most favorite guitar sound ever. Once I learned how to recreate that sound?.... When I play metal that's the only sound I use(to this day).

Stoner Rock's my favorite genre!!

I highly recommend Electric Wizard. That’s the real heavy stoner doom

I really dig how you're bringing more of your personality to the channel. Makes the videos more engaging (they totally were before, but this is just a real nice addition)

Everybody who was worried they had a dead pixel on their screen.

One of my favorites in this genre is a band called Monkey3 with noteworthy songs like ‘through the desert’ and ‘Icarus’. They are largely instrumental and have many songs that are fairly lengthy, but really take u on a journey.

You honestly have such elite music taste 👌🏾

You HAVE to check out Mars Red Sky. One of the best modern stoner bands I've listened to.

There's a few tracks of King Gizzard's new album that are very stoner/doomy as well. Check it out if you're into Sleep, Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, etc

You need to listen to Melvins ASAP. Check out Lysol it’ll fit right in with the some of these albums.

I wish you would've talked about "Dead Roots Stirring" by Elder. Maybe one of the musically most impressive records in this Top 10 you used for this video. Long really great layered songs with a lot of variations of riffs and sounds. Most bands in this genre stick to 1-3 riffs and the usual song structures in almost every song while these guys have like 5-10 riffs in one song and no typical song structures. Which results in many surprising and great shifts and changes within the songs. Every song tells an epic story. They further explored this on the next record "Lore". This band overall makes epic sounding records. They are something special. When you really get into them you know what I mean. Every record from them sounds different and got it's own magic. Over the years they got the label "Progressive Stoner Metal" because of more and more Prog elements. My favorite record by them is "Reflections Of A Floating World" from 2017. This band inspired a new wave of Stoner bands who are creating more varied sounds than the typical Stoner formula.

The Obsessed is the 80’s Stoner Steppingstone from Sabbath to Sleep

Earth’s “Pentastar” would slide in nicely here.

I saw Sleep live a few years back it was so freaking loud. I don't like the label Stoner Rock either, since I love it and don't smoke.

Do one of these for psychedelic rock! Great analysis btw!

Watch the documentary ‘such hawks such hounds’ for a full trip into the depths of this genre.

If you're interested in Clutch's progressive side, I urge you to check out Elephant Riders and Robot Hive Exodus. Lots of time signature silliness between those two albums.

Great video again. Really like this new format with you talking to the camera.

Monster Magnet had the "School-Free Drug Zone" concert t-shirt on the Superjudge tour. Over the course of of several years, I saw them perform two amazing shows and one muddled, self-indulgent, trainwreck turd of a show on the Powertrip tour.. That was the last time I saw them. Dopes is a great album. I still break it out from time to time.

Blues For The Red Sun was dope, but Welcome to Sky Valley will always be my favorite.

That was an amazing, slick and informative production.

Pretty cool you checked out Clutch, especially Blast Tyrant. While BT is my fav Clutch album, and kind of changed my life as a teenager, I feel like their self titled is the most stoner album they did (many people tend to lump that abum in with other 90s stoner stuff)

Clutch sounding like Mastodon wasn't lost on Mastodon. Blood and Thunder features vocals from Neil Fallon of Clutch. As for Melvins, I would highly recommend the Stoner Witch album. Some of their best work. Mastodon's also covered their song "The Bit" from their Stag album. Check out King Gizzard, too, if you haven't. Great band from over here in Australia. Microtonal Flying Banana as well as Nonagon Infinity are great psychedelic/Stoner/punk/prog albums. They're pretty prolific and genre bending. They just released a stoner thrash album and a folky, bluesy, boogie based album in the one year haha.

Monster Magnet actually formed in 1989, not 1998. They were already a national act in the early 90s. (I'm old).

The guitarists of clutch used to be a friend of my parents and I ended up playing with his son as a kid..

The Black Angles - enough said. Saw Clutch a couple times back in the mid to late 90's - knowing nothing about them before hand - and they just ripped the place up. They were so devastating live man. Loud as hell and super tight. I never would have considered them stoner rock back then. I just called them super grooving hard core/punk. They were a blast to see in a small club.

Blast Tyrant - Clutch blows me away with how good it is. It was instant love when i discovered them.

?????????? How could you not talk about Sleep's Holy Mountain or Dopesmoker? Literally the definitive albums of stoner doom...

Songs for the deaf is one of my favorite albums. I've only recently got into Boris thanks to Jason from Fuzzlord effects

Thank you young gentleman for shedding some light. Bless!

Mercury was a first Clutch song I listened to. I found it in one stoner playlist among Kyuss, Acid King, Peeping Tom, Monkey3, Mighty Nimbus, Kamchatka and many others. Now I'm trying to find that playlist, it was something magic, something totally new for me.

Man I don’t know how you just shrugged off clutch’s 2nd album, that album inspired me to pick up a guitar and is one of the best albums imo. You should give it another shot dude!

ELDER, Dead roots, Lore and Reflections are perfection

Awesome video! By the way, what do you think of Stoned Jesus? If you haven't heard them already I'd suggest "I'm the mountain", I find the build up in that song particularly amazing, hope you do too?

Fu Manchu is pretty good. They throw in a bit of punk with the stoner sound.

Sad that nobody mentioned King Buffalo. They’re GOAT

Tbh you could just get 'Blues for the Red Sun' and 'Welcome to Sky Valley' and call it a day lol. However I'd also throw in 'The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull' by Earth, and 'Delmar' by Los Natas, who are a lesser-known outfit from Argentina. Or just raid Stoned Meadow of Doom's channel for albums!

Hey, catch this: Dopelord - Dead inside I&II Dozer - Star by star Truckfighters - Desrt Cruiser Lowrider - Convo V 1000mods - Into the spell True Widow - Four teeth etc by vibe... You are welcome.

It would be the "Dune" soundtrack

You should definitely listen to Boris' 2005 album "Pink". It's a really energetic and crazy record

Man, robot hive Exodus, and from Beale street to Oblivion are great. Also Jam room is super funky and weird. Definitely check those ones out Lie!!

Definitely check out Clutch's newer stuff. Psychic Warfare and Earth Rocker are absolute beasts.

7:54 Monster Magnet was formed in 1989. Your pronunciation of La Curandera was spot on btw 5:32

Boris is one of the best bands of oat they don’t get enough hype and there pink album deserves a whole video

if you like this genre you should give stoned jesus - i'm the mountain

When I saw the title first thing I was going to comment is "Anyone labeled as stoner rock rejects the label" but that's the first thing you covered XD

The first two Blue Cheer albums , "Vincebus Eruptum" & "Outsideinside" are phenomenal. Leigh Stephens guitar playing alone was enough to hook me in ✌️

EyeHateGod, Red Fang, Music Hates You, Crowbar, Acid Bath, COC, Bongzilla.. Turn it up to 11 and enjoy!!!

Please give Mars Red Sky, Holy Serpent, Dozer and Ruff Majik (they’re from South Africa) a try 🤘🏽

Good pickups, fuzz, bass and overdrive. I recommend wo fat, red desert, 1000mods, planet of zeus.

Monster magnet-formed in ‘89, not ‘98, I think you meant to say.

Really loving Black Rainbows and Truckfighters right now

Clutch is the greatest band of all time and everyone needs to listen to them

Check out pure rock fury and elephant riders from clutch

I know how to play Stoner Metal on bass. Dragonaut is easy for me just get an passive bass which I use an 1986 Ibanez Roadstar II RB650 bass which is a PJ bass a boss ds1 and boom ride the dragon into the crimson eye.

As a fellow Norwegian its your duty to check out "Honcho", "We", "El Caco" and "Thulsa Doom".

Clutch

Is this the same studio space as Living Room Gear Demos?

Atomic Bitchwax and Danava are a couple bands you should give a listen to as well

Apart from Kyuss, King Buffalo , space slug and All them witches are a good starter point for fans and first timers.

Dopesmoker understandably get annoyed when labeled 'stoner rock'

monster magnet is more like from 89 than 98. i can not recommend their self titled ep enough. absolute stoner/noise rock masterpiece

I’ve been jamming about TRIGUN’s ost lately, and it was Neat I love it when I found out this genre can also called Desert Rock it’s pretty cool af

This is an excellent presentation! Still watching as I comment. The Sword is my favorite in this genre. Hope they get a prop here.

Listening to electric wizard sounds like walking though knee deep mud while getting struck my lightning

If Only

absolutely. song for the deaf is a kickass song and for me the best among them

Hey Lie, I have some recommendations for bands that fall under the progressive stone category. I've spent alot of time looking for good "stoner rock" Check out these: Mammoth Volume - Mammoth Volume Truckfighters - V, and basically everything they do Creature with the Atom Brain - The Birds Fly Low Witchcraft - Legend Reach out if you want more recommendations or want to talk about the genre.

Monster magnet was formed in 89, and their first official release its from 91. Dopes to infinity its from 95 and it was my first approach to this awesome band. Checkout the Wikipedia my young fella.

He’s missed one Randy Holden Population ll (1970)

Blues For The Red Sun is my acid album. I will for ever associate that album with all the times I had tripping on LSD with my high school buddies in my basement ripping bong. Good fucking times.

Fuzzin' right! I love stoner rock!

huh. there's a dead pixel in your cam near the upper center

Monster Magnet is awesome! Their 9th album „Last Patrol“ is one of my faves from the last decade! Check out the deluxe edition, very cool stuff!

Clutch - Elephant Riders. Great summer time album

“ Kyuss, which is a little bit Heavier than this?”😂

You should do a video on the European stoner rock scenes. Seems like a lot of good bands come out of Sweden, like Truckfighters and Asteroid.

I was just listening to Dopesmoker before this video was uploaded!

Orange or Laney amp Les Paul or SG Some sort of fuzz Done

Trip hazard - rat race is pretty cool, highly recommended it

Oh man I've been waiting for something on stoner rock

the fact that there's no Monkey3 here, hurts me.

You should check out Red Friday. They didn’t get nearly as much attention as they deserved. As in, they have around 50 subs on KZfaq.

Am I wrong to consider Flower Travellin' Band a Stoner Rock pioneer?

Monster magnet were going well before 1998!
