New High On Fire

[jrmy]

Le sigh. Ah, ILF - ever iconoclastic.

Well, I'm diggin' it. I got to see them live at the end of the tour just before they went into the studio for this one, and the new tracks were the highlight of that night - they were clearly stoked to play them, and the audience responded shockingly well considering that much of the stuff was totally new to our ears. I'm enjoying this one much more than De Vermis Mysteriis (which I liked all right, but somehow never fully got into).

Gonna give another listen today...

[D.o.S.]

I'm stoked to listen to it -- the stuff on that tour sounded great. Just need to get my ass to the record store. Anyone that doesn't like Pike/Sleep/The Sleep family tree is either a certified mongoloid or Dase and Goroth.

[Iommic Pope]

Clearly.
Dase at least had the nouse to blame his attention span, though.

Its always fun to go see live but the shit is boring to me on cd. Also i don't like mastodon. Come at me. I will fight you all.

[daseb]

dude, I LOVE Sleep. I just never could get into holy mountain because jerusalem was the first record I heard of theirs. I won't go see them again live because the show I went to was perfect in every way and nothing will ever stand up to it.

[Iommic Pope]

it's ok tiger, just giving you grief.

Yeah I get that about Holy M. To me the production kills a little of the magic as well.
It needs to be remastered and reissued Dopesmoker v6.7 styles (or whatever they're up to now).

They were great shows when they played down here on that first tour.
I saw the Sydney one. It was fucking great.
The Brisbane show on the last tour was not as special, but that was mainly due to Brisbanites being complete fuckwits, as per usual.
Brisbane. You can't take us anywhere. Not even to ourself.

SR, I loved the first four Mastodon albums. I can't do the hunter or the new one. Shit just ain't as rad.
Enter doS with how much he hates Crack the Skye...

Speaking of holy mountain, these dudes were so righteous

[daseb]

youtube is blocked at work but if we're talking holy mountain the sort of crusty band that had people from combat wounded veteran? Hell yes.

Iommic, yeah, doom punishers is why I didn't go to either sleep show here on the second tour. Let me enjoy my band without a bunch of toys too pussy to smoke weed talking about fucking riffs and the newest red fang video clip.

[krlpuretone]

^^Good points!

I've heard a couple tracks from it and it's yet to light me on fire, but I can listen to Sleep day and night.

[Iommic Pope]

I am in agreement with dase and SR.
Vesters, dude.
That's all I'm gonna say.

[SPACERITUAL]

no offense to anybody but why the fuck does smoking weed always have to be associated with this genre? Like i get that there is a genre called stoner rock but fuck dude its 2015 weed is legal in all kinds of places now nobody thinks you're a reckless badass or anything. It seems like dudes are just trying to play into the stereotype and its getting played out as shit.

Its ironic because I'm drunk as fuck writing this and can't form my thoughts into words all that well right now. Expect a more convincing argument tomorrow afternoon when i wake up.

[Iommic Pope]

Lifestyle choices.

[SPACERITUAL]

BRO WE PLAY SLOW AND TALK ABOUT OLD HORROR MOVIES AND HAVE PATCH VESTS AND WE SMOKE WEEEEEEEED MAN.

[SPACERITUAL]

I tried to make fun of doom once but my friends were waiting on me to go to taco bell and it really ruined to mood and it was a dismal failure

[Iommic Pope]

I kinda get what you're saying.
It becomes cumbersome when music you love becomes attached to a heap of idioms and tropes that some douchers bought with them because that's what they were "supposed to do".
It happens to everything at a certain threshold.
