@@evillord7103"yea they sit around and just fuckin fill their heads with chemicals i dunno like thc pcp acid pot hash coke mescaline, anything, drug of the day, drug of the day" think that fits any form of drug music lol
I recall being really wasted on acid with a buddy of mine back in the good ol 90's; middle of summer in SUBURBIA and his street backed onto about 100 acres of forest at the town limits...we both put a copy of TAB in our Diskmans and went for a walk in the woods under moonlight. As we got deeper in the woods we became hopelessly disoriented and got lost. Stumbling around, fuckin shoes all muddy and shit, cryin and laughin the whole bit. The darkness looked like whipped cream laced with squid ink
A truly inspirational tribute to the word: "Psychadelic". Something that i heard when i was 17 (still a virgin psychalic mind), this brought me to that chaotic beautific love i needed to be in half an hour. Pure perfection that cannot be rivaled. I play this track to friends and even now they wonder where they've been all these years. To them this song is like starting all over again, ALL HALE THE MAGNET
sometime in the 90s, in some cruddy campground (just a big clearing in the woods, basically) with around a thousand other "campers" on that May 24th long weekend, I dropped some liquid acid in my eye, and sat down by our campfire, after cueing up this song on repeat on our very adequate stereo system we had set up. I then produced a garbage bag that my friend & I had filled up with our latest harvest of primo BC bud, and started rolling.
This is not and they are not "stoner rock" this is literally space rock. SLEEP is stoner rock. Every stoner rock song is just super fuzz on top of fuzz on top of overdrive pedals and GREEN amplifire. Every song is just fuzzed out dronning guitar and lyrics usually kinda have a chant or cadence to it. Space rock sings about cosmic shit alot of reverb and echo and delay guitars are pretty normal as I heavy rock sound but not like Sleep. Space Rock birthed stoner rock. Check out lemmys band hawkwind before motorhead. Listen to "Sace Is Deep" you will basically hear late 60s early 70s monster magnet sounds. Not trying to be a snob but every one makes that mistake and Space Rock gets forgotten and called Stoner . It was stoner rocks Dad😅. Space rock is to awesome to be forgotten and misidentified. Think about all those space travelers that died for our listening pleasuwe. Can we can't just leave them floating out there forgotten LOL Also, I've literally heard Dave say in interviews. They call the space rock. because it is
Holy shit! I heard Tab today on KDHX, and had to listen again to make sure it was what I really heard. I listened to it again, and then Ozium played due to auto play. I have heard of the band but never their music. Just WOW! Time to go exploring.
I would roll a joint, light it, have a few puffs, and pass it off. And repeat. I continued this until the sun started coming up. At the start, there were 7 of us around that fire. By sunrise, there were at least 600 others with us. And not a single word was spoken.
Now I'm going to have to listen to 3 or 4 Hawkwind albums next lol. Warrior on the Edge of Time, Hall of the Mountain Grill, Doremi Fasol Latido, Levitation, In Search of Space, maybe Quark Strangeness and Charm
Absolutely. I hate to be one of those people, but after McBain they definitely got less experimental/psychedelic. Ed Mundell is a fantastic guitarist, but the material suffered from McBain’s departure. The long spacey drones were mostly replaced with kinda schlocky borderline “cock rock” elements. McBain-era MM had an unique sound and pushed the envelop musically. After that, while they’ve never been bad their sound got streamlined and sounds like any number of “stoner rock” bands following the formula. While they are certainly amongst the pioneers of that genre, after Spine of God they lost a good part of what made them unique and great in my eyes. The focus changed from an ensemble exploring the outer reaches musically to more traditional song structures and Wyndorf’s “character” and singing became the focal point. Oh well, at least we got TAB.
@@Tyrannosaurine 110% agree with you. Monster Magnet Without McBain lost the spacey jammieness of it. It would be like Yawning Man without Gary Arce. I always said that Queens of the Stone Age should’ve kept McBain along with Alfredo Hernandez and gone a much more stonier spacey jam direction. You can hear that on the early Qotsa demos.
I saw this $8 CD on 2-28(FEB. 28th) Twenty years ago at the same time i saw a $4 'radioactive green' and black cover CD w/1st song with slowed-down bell chimes.
I didn´t think it was a good band (even seen them live, and it was easy to tell when the songs would stop, because then suddenly the song became good, and you knew it was 4 bars til the end...), but a friend of mine said I should listen to this song, and wow, was he right! This is basically in another solar system, so to speak.
Monster Magnet - Tab (full length) 0900am 8.10.23 first track reminds me of one of my fav cut and paste d.i.y fart about at home releases: powderburns....
The conversation he has is so fucking out there he talks about a chick with killer knockers in porn then talks about a an abusing his woman and punching the hell out of her then he talks about the charles manson murders and something about some dude telling someone to go get him a sandwhich

In all fairness, he didn't say he finished it by himself. And he did mention thousand "other" campers. I imagine that considering the spirit of such gatherings, there was gonna be a lot of passing around of the goods.
I was lucky, this was the first MM I ever heard, 1994 I was reborn, "dinosaurs in viet fuckin nam mutherfuckers!" " I know, I'll go home, I'll go home"
