Monster Magnet are a shtick. Pentagram are a shtick. Shtick = a comic scene or vaudeville act. Many people like shtick. I often enjoy shtick. Pick your flavor. In this manner of shtick, mine is Pentagram.

dopes to infinity is awesome, top to bottom. "negasonic" should've made 'em famous. it's a shame. but at least you can count on MM for a coupla lines per album that make great metal sludge message board sigs. i prefer "cashing satan's checks with my dick in my hand."

saw them on sunday night. dave wyndorf is a huge physical mass now - i was a little bit shocked. he had a guitar strapped on the whole time and barely played it. great show though and a true breath of fresh air. some awesome riffs and the occasional scorching guitar solo for good measure. plus the songs that i knew (mostly from "dopes to infinity' and 'powertrip' really held up).

"I went to see a heavy metal band in New York ... called Monster Magnet. Man, they were heavy, boy. The lead singer got on the monitor, and he said, "How many of you people feel like human beings tonight?" Then he said, "How many of you feel like animals?" And everyone cheered after the animals part. But the thing is, I cheered after the human being part because I did not know that there was a second part to the question. "Yes, I do feel like a human. I do not feel like a tree."

that scharpling interview is awesome. even if you couldn't give two shits about monster magnet, there's great stuff on the 60s/70s music scene, early NYC punk, the similarities between hawkwind and the ramones, etc. I'm 30 minutes in and they haven't even started talking about monster magnet yet.
kinda weird listening to this thing cuz I grew up around the corner from dave, and I spent a lot of evenings in that exact kitchen having the same convos with him. and y'know I still haven't heard most of these chestnuts, he's a bottomless pit of wry observation and batshit rocklife stories.

Hmm. Maybe he just figured we all know of his deep, undying love for them. Personally I would've replaced Granicus with Hawkwind.

― reggie (qualmsley), Thursday, 27 March 2014 22:45 (ten years ago) link
I'm glad someone else wasn't bowled over by it. I'm actually way more partial to the Pandora "Space Amazon" album that had some vague connection to Granicus.
― brains hangin (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 27 March 2014 23:21 (ten years ago) link
"A lot of the records in this list, I just gave it a try because I liked the cover," the man says about Nuggets. i know what he means; that granicus cover is amazing. four rock bros with flares jamming in the sun! still it just hasn't clicked for me yet, after years of chances. never heard of pandora. what's 'space amazon'? i'd give it a try because i like the name!
― reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 28 March 2014 12:15 (ten years ago) link
It was a glam/hard rock band from NYC 1974 produced by Granicus' drummer, but it really leans towards the HARD side of the spectrum, outside of the vaguely Bowie-esque title track. Which is still pretty hard. They originally did a flexi disc sampler but the full album wasn't released until the 90s on Arf! Arf!
― brains hangin (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 28 March 2014 12:29 (ten years ago) link
Stupid Question: Was there ever a version of "Space Lord" that goes "Space lord motherfucker" or was the actual lyric originally supposed to be "Space lord mother, mother"?
got this album a few weeks ago, its fucking immense.
however, tonight while listening on headphones this exact question hit me.
anyone know the answer ?

Anyone heard Milking the Stars? I actually haven't heard Last Patrol yet but I'm intrigued by the idea of the songs being redone with a "weird 60s vibe."
― from the straining pagan waistbands (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 20 November 2014 23:36 (nine years ago) link
me too.
― mark e, Thursday, 20 November 2014 23:46 (nine years ago) link
So, for the record, I think I dig Milking the Stars a little bit more than Last Patrol. Last Patrol is mixed like what you expect a Monster Magnet album to sound like; MtS definitely has a more expansive, psychedelic quality to it while still having some pretty heavy stuff. Doesn't sound 60s, exactly, but if you dig the early albums idea of psych it's worth checking out.

Not quite Monster Magnet but the Acid Reich tapes from 1989 are resurfaced:

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 15 April 2021 14:30 (three years ago) link
Not sure how I missed Ned's last revive, but I definitely need to check that out!
I actually really like both of their full album reworks, both the Milking the Stars redo of Last Patrol and Cobras and Fire: The Mastermind Redux, they both injected the weirdness and unexpected turns that had been missing from their more recent albums. Of course this approach led to the natural conclusion of last year's A Better Dystopia, on which they just straight up tackled a batch of proto-metal and psych-era covers.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 11 August 2022 20:12 (two years ago) link
I think my post 6 yrs ago sounded a little lukewarm but Milking the Stars really stands out as a late peak to me, easily beats out Last Patrol, great stuff and he even rewrote some of the lyrics for the better.
