Goddam that's a great lineup.

I loving love me some Matt Sweeney.

5th time I'm seeing Sleep since they got back together, never seen a bad lineup.

They weren't supposed to go on hiatus for 3 years after June '18, but here we are.

It'd be super nice if I get to see Om, High on Fire and Neurosis again pretty soon, too. I saw Sleep and Neurosis like 2 weeks apart in '18 and it was awesome.

I had tickets for HOF last week and didn't go because my daughter only has one lung and isn't old enough for vax and I'm not quite ready to be packed into a small club if it puts her at risk :smithcloud:

You made the correct, yet painful, decision.

Excited to see the first post-legal-weed Sleep show in Albuquerque for sure.

The worst hearing damage I've ever had in one sitting was High on Fire/Mastodon/Suplecs/Clutch, and I'm pretty sure it was High on Fire and Mastodon that did it.

Absolutely, every time I've seen HoF or Sleep it's been a few days of recovery.

edit: first time I saw HoF was opening for Opeth on the Watershed tour, and Matt was so hosed up that he could barely play or sing, Jeff and Des carried him the entire show and I was like, "who is that shitass Nathan Explosion lookalike and what the gently caress was that?"
Then within a month his corpus of work reversed that opinion.

During the 2000s I had a side-gig interviewing bands for a site that was big at the time. I interviewed a bunch of punk and metal bands (among others -- novelists, comedians, scientists, etc). Anyway, almost to a rule most artists I talked to were just normal people with an extraordinary talent, but if they were your neighbor or something they'd be just another person. Particularly a lot of big scary looking metal dudes are really dorks at heart. Wouldn't be out of place at a Magic: the Gathering tournament if they weren't covered in spikes and tattoos. The metal persona was just that: a mask.

Matt Pike, though, was loving intimidating. Very laconic.

Incidentally Andrew WK was just as magical as you'd wish. I asked him a total of FOUR questions and he filled up both sides of a 90 minute cassette.

as I'd expect from a man who legitimately believes the annunaki engaged in a war with the reptillians and it's 100% real

RE: baroness

I saw them when they toured with Deafheaven and Zeal and Ardor. They had a bunch of their stage lights aimed directly at my face for the whole set. I will never forgive them.

not stoner but lighting related, I saw APC one time (:rolleyes:, but I was young) and The Mars Volta opened.

Mars Volta suck dick live anyway, but at one point Cedric picked a spotlight up off the stage and shined it directly in my loving face for about 5 straight minutes.

I honestly just wanted to leave the rest of the night.

The fact that getting that beast requires a sub to their vault is a crushing decision. Is that record worth a $75 spend? My weedian brain says yes. The new house and real life says ... maybe not.

I have the other one and it was, so, gently caress me I'm gonna do it

edit: I did it, I think this is like the 6th vinyl version of dopesmoker I'm gonna have now?

e2: also, all I did was cancel my vault sub after I got live at third man, it wasn't a big deal and I didn't get anything I didn't want. You're pretty much paying a convenience fee and production spot with every quarterly purchase on the day they tell you to pony up by.

Third Man is... interesting to deal with. I have never had a shipping issue with them though, they always come through. It was like a month after people started getting their Live at Third Man when I got my shipping email.

I actually called them about Live at Third Man and was reassured that it was in the pipe, you can do that too.

We are shipping this package in alphabetical order (A-Z) by FIRST NAME. If you see that your information says 'Pre-Shipment', don't worry! We have our shipping labels pre-printed, so your package is simply awaiting shipment.

Like I said, dealing with Third Man is weird.

"Sanctioned Annihilation" is my jam and those last two tracks rip. Maybe slightly more filler and less killer on that record, but I still maintain there is no straight up bad High in Fire album.

Sanctioned Annihilation is some of the most savage tom playing I've ever heard once that part starts (you know which part)

My favorite is De Vermis, 100% hands down. That album is mastered to sound like it is punching you in the face with drums.

Zoben posted:

I'm literally listening to De Vermis right now while working. It rules so loving hardcore. Nothing against Sleep, but I've always found HOF like a million times better. Serums of Liao? Hell yeah. Snakes for the Divine? Hell yeah. Devilution? Hell yeah. I love Matt's voice, it's got the perfect Lemmy growl but is unique, and there is a melody running through it unlike sludge vox (which I do love on their own in a different way, EHG and Bongzilla and Weedeater and such).

Definitely funny how everyone has different favorites, mine is Death Is This Communion. When I hear a lovely song playing when I'm out at a store or at the gym I always start humming "Fury Whip" in my head to drown it out. The title track has such a cool slow burn to it, I used to love listening to it when I'd be running. When he goes "Slithering blasphemous curse upon all liiiiiife" and the chorus riff blasts in, it's just so fuckin killer. Maybe not everyone's favorite track but it's got a lot of atmosphere, like Bastard Samurai (probably my fave track from Snakes, I drew a gig poster for them with a samurai on it which was cool because I got to meet Matt, although I was a bit too drunk and stoned to remember our interaction perfectly, haha).

First time I saw HoF was when they opened for Opeth on the Watershed tour, and in Albuquerque... Matt was very drunk, forgetting/not singing lyrics, broke a string, and it was one of the worst shows I had ever seen until Opeth came on stage and redeemed it. Never seen them play a bad show since, and Sleep are loving immaculate musicians when they play live. Really glad Matt is doing whatever works for him, because looking back on it that show was just an absolute mess for HoF.

My girlfriend went to the 4/20 Sleep show this year (she's a edm freak) and thought she was just gonna go see this band I love that she likes with my brother and I, and walked out of the El Rey theater saying, "I get it now." Granted, Al did pull out a double bass.

The only time I saw High on Fire was in a bar, when they toured for Blessed Black Wings but it rocked.

The first time I saw them was when they opened for Opeth on the Watershed tour in Albuquerque at the Sunshine Theater, and Matt was so drunk he was forgetting lyrics and then he broke one of his strings and it was a very bad show that Opeth thankfully redeemed.

Never seen them like that ever again, thankfully.

They still play dead roots stirring and the end live most of the time from what I've seen

I bought a copy of Lore on vinyl and resigned to getting the black one and they sent me the Euro tour color disc instead, it was pretty sweet. Lore is a really nice vinyl package, too.
Really pissed I missed them when they were here not too long ago, I haven't seen them live and would like to see them play DRS.
