Anyone into their stuff and this genre as a whole? I'm guessing so if we like our dark alt rock with PJ.

I've been listening to 'Nude With Boots' by Melvins today. It really is like a master class in heavy guitar riff music. Its wicked. Nice bass driven Sludge/Stoner sound - I dont think that means all that much but I'm very impressed all the same! They remind me a bit of Mastodon which are another fantastic band.

Im quite obsessive about Kyuss too with 'One Inch Man' being quite a favourite: I love the groove to it. Makes me want to dance straight away.lol

Enjoy and nice weekends one and all :wink:

I've always liked The Melvins although I never really considered them "stoner rock" (maybe if I smoked more :laugh: :???: ) Saw them with Nirvana a "few" years ago.
I listen to QOTSA and have tried checking out Kyuss but didn't care much for them.

Finally saw the Melvins last month; they borrowed folks from Modest Mouse and played with 4 sets of drums at the end, sounded great!

There was quite a few I didn't recognise, take it that was their latest album, can't find a setlist. The guys from Mudhoney were down the front listening too. I did one shaky video, always good sound on the stage there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM9PYqw0fMM

I like QotSA and the Heads from that genre too, the latter are very underrated.
