This is the first video Monster Magnet ever made, Medicine, from their first full-length acid-drenched album Spine Of God (1991). There are indications that Monster Magnet will release a new album in November 2007!!!
Wyndorf and McBain are the shit, even Iggy was going soft. No one had the balls or brains to be themselves and simply deliver the goods. Everything was watered down with bands recording the drum tracks digitally and spending ass loads on coke/studio time. Then out of nowhere comes MM with the full 'staches, the longhair and most importantly the tunes. It was as if they never even left the basement for 15 years and then blammo just steamrolled everything in their path into oblivion.
bollocks, Motorhead had 1916, Corrosion of Conformity had Blind, Cathedral - Forest of Equilibrium, Entombed had Clandestine. Monster Magnet steamrolled fuck all.
Great minds think alike bro! Is this really true, I would hope so...Spine of God came out in '91ish and Ill Communication in '93ish? We'd play both them back to back at house parties because both were the shit back then and the riff was exact.
Monster Magnet rules! Kyuss, Acid King, Alabama Thunderpussy, Texas Hippie Coalition, all are great, but NOBODY has the edge, originality, presence, sound, and consistency this guys display all the time! Oh yes, and that retro feeling...
I actually remember seeing this when it aired way back in the early 90's, maybe '93. It took a while but I had the record store order Superjudge. been a monster Magnet fan since.
Great song! I saw them live in 1993. Memorable show. They played most of Tab and a couple tracks off this album to about 10 people. Talked with Dave Wyndorf for awhile. Interesting guy.
I remember catching this on Headbanger's Ball a lifetime ago. I was like: "What the fuck is this?!" at the beginning of the video, and "I have to get that album!!" by the end.
Saw their show last month-MINDFUCKER. Third time since 1998 i enjoyed the MM-experience live. For me still the greatest stonerrock band today! and they will always be my favorites!
Can't describe the intensity of this song....it feels like someone is hammering a nail in my head AND i'M LITERALLY ENJOYING THE PAIN....MM Rulezzzzz \m/
@Brooklyn7071: probably because the time signature (5/4) and its devision (3-3-2-2) are exactly the same as in Qotsa's 'Hangin' Tree'. Only the little drum break around 2:48 is two bars of simple 4/4 time.
Wow, MTV actually DID have a Metal show called "Headbanger's Ball"... I thought ever one joked 'cause I don't see much of this on MTV! XD ...Yeah this rock!
Well I agree with mo' fo' 8ditspete. This band is the shis'nit. Or should I say was. Wasn't so fond of Dopes to Infinity, but Spine of God rests forefer in my top 20 of wicked ass albums of all time.
I'm not going to debate what "complex" means since MM make dense productions and Metallica used to write classically inspired arrangements. That said however I think MM have better vocals and no matter who is playing drums it is more groovy and rockin' than anything Lars will ever do.
Fuck yeah man only Spine of God through Dopes is worth listening to IMO. I hated this band for so long because of crap like "Spacelord" and "Heads Explode", but holy fuck did Spine of God and Superjudge completely fuck my mind when I first heard them. How they got so bad so fast I have no idea.
@@seventhblasphemy408 I posted that 12 years ago, since then Monster Magnet came back hard with Mastermind and The Last Patrol in the 2010's and were rocking as hard as ever
Love them both, and do you have to compare 2 of my all time fav bands ? Metallica used to write pretty complex stuff back in the day man.. Especially in Justice album. This ain's no "new" Monster Magnet either..
@RiverMpls Biased much? I like both Monster Magnet and Metallica, but if you think this song is as complex as The Call of Ktulu, or And Justice for all, you are fooling yourself.
@ImNIClK @ImNIClK Yeah. But you listen to Radiohead.... and have add-cack favourited so maybe stick to videos where your short attention span and need for tripe is fed ?
