Sleep - "Jersulam"/"Dopesmoker" - C/D?

yeah they do from time-to-time. they played a few shows in 2010

played at a festival w/them in 2010 iirc & they were directly after us and opened right with a crushing Jerusalem/Dopesmoker riff section for about five min damn right I'm bragging, I got to geek out w/Pike & his son backstage afterwards

Saw them last week and it was uniformly excellent. No trouble hearing Cisneros either. Dopesmoker and Sonic Titan were the highlights.

Don't miss them if you get the chance.

yo am0n i know about the sabians but they haven't put anything out since 2003 afaict? are they still going?

not really into this new version

i dl'ed jerusalem and i think this is now the one i prefer, the drums are a little more up front

wait you like the dopesmoker reissue more than jerusalem or the other way around

other way around

yeah me too

no way

HERETICS

BREAK THEIR BONGS
DEBUD THEM
CAST THEM OUT

nah dude jerusalem is "the o.g." if you know what i mean ;-)

i heard it first too back when it came out as my mates brother bought it and he loaned me it to tape. i also have a tape recording of an interview with the band on some cable radio metal show (solar radio it was called) with the whole thing playing in the background as the band explained what happened with London Records. And i still think Dopesmoker is better ;-)

no dude it's THE OG do you see???

what were we talking about

I don't need to buy the same album over and over again. I'll stick with the CD I bought 10 years ago, thx

I kinda want to buy the vinyl reissue because I do like the cover. But this is totally a CD album for me.

I think I know what's going to be on disc 2 of the inevitable deluxe edition...

o yeah, they replaced the unnecessary extra live track with a horrible sounding live 'holy mountain'. wonder what the thought process behind that was

probably some bong rips were involved

listening to this for the first ime

this is one of the longest albums i've ever heard *tips hat*

lol

important q: *which* album are you listening to, cause there are at least two

the new one on spotify with some jawas and camels and shit, it's a 60+ minute track and a 11+ minute track?

i don't know the lore of this.

it's ok but i dunno doesn't really do a ton for me

fair enough

i am p fond of it

though i listen to the alt mix 'jerusalem' on spotify so everyone doesn't see me listening to DOPESMOKER

Breathe deep the gathering dank:

SLEEP 2012 U.S. Tour Dates:

6/02/2012 The Ritz – Tampa, FL

6/03/2012 Neumos – Seattle, WA

6/04/2012 Neumos – Seattle, WA

6/05/2012 Fox Theater – Oakland, CA

I do love the tour logic there. "Okay, from one corner of the country to the other in a single day..."

you don't go straight that way, guh, you cut through the riff-filled land

I nod my head in acknowledgement (and then can't lift it again).

ok guess who missed out on a sleep gig in glasgow

The Dopesmoker reissue is currently on UK eMusic for .84p
I don't know if this screws them over, or if it's even a mistake, but - yeah. Good deal...

Seeing them tonight! Psyched.

\m/ I haven't been as excited about a day at a festival in ages.

So, that was special. I can't be the only person who thinks that. Equally so for Melvins and Yob as well. Just on fucking fire. Slayer put in a really good gig as well. Not 100% convinced by your man from Exodus but his guitar work on World Painted Blood was fucking ridiculously good and they played Die By The Sword.

Sleep though, sweet baby Jesus it was amazing.

Yeah, it was. Everything was buzzing. I didn't even bring any weed with me.

The room where Yob & WITTR played didn't seem to have very good sound and it was way too small for Yob, I could hardly get in. The main stage bands were all great though.

I managed to get down to the front for the second half of Yob and it was better but I think Mike's genuinely uplifting stage persona and having the crowd really behind them made it for me. It's a real breath of fresh air having a very positive doom metal band just as light relief I think. I don't feel the same way about Black Metal though.

they seemed to be ironing out some sound issues while A Storm of Light were on cos they kind of sounded like ass but I thought it was fine by the time WITTR were on certainly

I still don't know if the new one is a different master from the version on Tee Pee from 11 yrs ago.

It is. It sounds very slightly better. But it's still a 63-minute song about weed.

lol
