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

I would rather heat my liver with drinking.

holy mountain is fucking awesome

fyfuckingi

So, anyone going to ATP: The Fans Strike Back, May 8-10 2009, where the reformed Sleep are playing Holy Mountain and selections from Dopesmoker & more...?

oh shi

I agree with whomever said Om is better above.

Wrong

selections from dopesmoker?

I almost bought St. Vitus last night but was scared away by worries it would sound thin with no bottom end. Do they?

uh... no? i mean, which album?

if it's the s/t it's pretty thick guitar-wise

both sonically and in technique

i feel assured that there are dudes out there that shall never run out of riffs

uh... no? i mean, which album?

I was looking at the live album (only one the store had) and thinking of the thrash I'm accustomed to that has nothin down there.

haven't heard that one, actually.

the best thing sleep ever did was accompany those white trash kids prowling around their trailer park on their dirt bikes. their albums were tedious, meandering crap that were basically black sabbath remix records

CHALLOPSIN

Drop out of life with the bong in hand
Follow the smoke toward the Challopsian Land
Proceeds the Challopsian, Pantheism F. Mohair

its just like

omg did you know early Scott Storch beats sounds just like Dr. Dre

why yes in fact that is exactly why i listen to and enjoy them but thank you for opening my eyes and all doggie

I'm tired of Sabbath songs but want more Sabbath sounds hence Sabbath The Genre aka stoner metal you know?

"Wrong"

I haven't heard Holy Mountain, but Dopesmoker/Jerusalem doesn't quite do it for me. I think Conference of Birds is my favorite thing from the whole Sleep/High on Fire/Om axis.

I guess, but these guys are a low-rent knockoff. It's not like it is with Beatles, how they paved the way for a much better and much more transcendent band with better music, lyrics, and singing quality-- Oasis.

hahaha

what's so funny

oh man you were serious huh

man this troll can roll

troll?? ME? B-b-but I've contributed so much to the intellectual discourse on this board!

res will you pave the way for a much better and much more transcendent troll with better challops, contrarianism, and zinging quality--?

save your accolades for someone more deserving than this old, washed-up troll. i just hope that in my death, my decomposing flesh will fertilize the soil for the growth of a troll more worthy than me.

btw, is Geir Hongro a troll? He seems to fit squarely within this narrow definition.

Sleep's entire output is great.

I was a fan of Asbestos Death and Sleep Volume I. When Holy Mountain came out, I initially felt like it was a tasteless Sabbath rip-off.

Years later, I've come to realize that Sleep does a lot of things Sabbath never did. Sure there are some very obvious riffs/nods, but it's in tribute. There are all kinds of techniques and directions employed on Holy Mountain that Sabbath never would have touched.

Having said that, I think the first High on Fire record is the best thing any of these guys has ever done.

okay, but only because that one dude was missing his fingertips.

trying to figure out a joke about dead & euronymous here

couldnt find a holy mountain thread. check out the recording of the first night of the Sleep reunion at ATP back in May.
This was AMAZING.

I actually preferred the second night, but this^^^.

"follow the smoke toward the riff-filled land"

Stoner.

surely you jest

;-)

uh, pretty psyched for Sleep show tonight

2+ hour set at ATP was like whoa.

yep, tonight was def like, dang..

I liked it when someone from ATP said on this very board that the UK ATP shows were the only ones Sleep would ever do, ever, and poured scorn on me when I suggested they might ever want to play another show, ever.

If there's one thing 2001 - 2010 taught as w/r/t reunions it's "Never say never."

Think the ATP people have been using the "Oh, it's not the original drummer *this* time" as a get out clause.

xp and if there's one thing an ilxor with his place of work in his username taught us as w/r/t "is he going to be a shill for ATP y/n?" it's "y"

Eh? I paid $50 for mine, you sure you weren't looking at the three day pass?

sigh yeah a tour of the south :(

this says $330 https://greatamericanmusichall.secureboxoffice.com/E/e-2850804/v-2092

that's for 4 tickets?

oh wait nm

yeah but they're all $330 each! fucking ticket sites are such a scam. I should've drilled down my search results more and just gone here, where they are in fact $50: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sleep-saturday-gamh-w-grayceon-tickets-50364070290#tickets

heyo I have two tickets to see SLEEP at the Great American tonight…. But I am sick ☹
On the off-chance that anyone is in town tonight and wants to see this show (which is sold out), or knows anyone who wants to see this show, plz let me know and I will happily sell my tix! webmail me. Tix were $60 apiece.

guesses on price?

https://thirdmanstore.com/tmr-vault-platinum-subscription-new#

way more than the $20 ticket price for the actual show.

It says $60 right there at the top
