I prefer Duane Denison's playing in Tomahawk to TJL.

Really looking forward to this one as well.

Liked this as well! Its not that similar to Jesus Lizard is it?

[D.o.S.]

I mean Electric Wizard aren't that similar to Sabbath either but you're definitely looking at a really sizable creative debt.

I always like bands that people say "oh hey this is like jesus lizard". But i don't really like jesus lizard. I reeeeally like the birthday party though. Thats the other band people are constantly comparing bands i like to.

I mean the first two Young Widows albums are pretty Lizardy as well and no-one should give a fuck because they are awesome

This is a really good point. There's a good amount of leeway for sounding different than a band but still being grounded in their sound. And, other side of the coin, you can sound quite a bit like a certain band, but still be doing your own thing.

I stand by what I said in some other thread, that I respect TJL a lot, and appreciate how influential they were, and all that jazz. And no one is crazy for liking them, I get how much they mean to a lot of people. But they are not really my deal. The guitar is really good. The vocals are not so good IMHO.

Electric Wizard on the other hand are the fucking cat's pyjamas. The cat in question is a sabretooth tiger. He sleeps in the nude.

Either way this track and its accompanying was my #1 release of 2014, and I'm looking forward to a followup.

Its just so fucking soulful and broken.

Fuck all american rock bands. Im even talking QOTSA. These guys wipe their ass with QOTSA, IMHO. And especially the white stripes. And above all the foo fighters. These guys fucking destroy all other straight ahead rock bands. Im even going on record here saying these guys are the best ROCK band since stone roses, who were the best rock band since primal scream, who were the best rock band since JAMC, and it pretty much ends there. Fuck you.

[SPACERITUAL]

I mean i DARE YOU to find a straight ahead rock band that swings dicks as much as these guys since these guys

Imean WERE HERE TO SMOKE CIGS AND DRINK SHITTY BEER AND PLAY LOUD. DONT BE SUCH A BITCH ABOUT IT.

[SPACERITUAL]

The lyrics to the opening lines, translated by me, who doesnt really know japaneze, are as follows

"I WANT A MOTORCYCLE
I HOPE FOR YOU I DONT GET ONE
BECAUSE THEN
ILL FUCK YOUR GIRLFRIEND"

[neonblack]

SO MUCH INTERESTING THING HAPPENED HERE!

HOLY FUCK SPACERITUAL!

YOU LIKE THE STONE ROSES! I LOVE THE STONE ROSES!

HOW IS THIS IMPOSSIBLE?!

THIS IS OUR FIRST BREAKTHROUGH.

(I ASSUMED YOU WOULDN'T LIKE THEM BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE SMITHS.)

ANYWAY.

I think I can go to normal caps now. Your mistake is in calling The White Stripes a "straight ahead rock band." If you sincerely believe this, obviously your opinion is your opinion, but it's possible you missed something. There is very little about The White Stripes that could be called "straight ahead."

Foo Fighters suck though and QOTSA are not nearly as good as people suggest. For me Kyuss was twice the band.

Also Mudfuzz, Guitar Wolf are awesome.

I feel posi vibes in here today.

Seriously I was afraid to utter the words "Stone Roses" in here after the Morrissey thread and I wanted to so fucking bad.

[neonblack]

White stripes are pretty straight ahead. I mean they bring the riffs sometimes but so many of their songs are just one riff or two/three chords. That's not to say they're bad but they are pretty straightforward.
