Are there enough of us to make a TFB Doom Room style thread?

Lew

In the same vein of HCFX Doom Room or I<3Fuzze's I<3Doom and is this sub-forum the best place for it?

A thread that we can chat about everything to do with DOOM, STONER. SLUDGE, psyche, desert, acid, new bands, old bands, gear, upcoming gigs, dealer issues, links to interviews etc etc...

This is the only guitar forum I actively take part in nowadays so it'd would be fun for me. We did a similar thing over on the BKP forum but it's kinda dead over there /sob.

So, I know we have @samzadgan @Philly_Q and @juansolo anyone else in?

Lew

I'll kick off with the new Sleep Adult Swim single. I read that this isn't a one off single and Sleep are working on a new album :-)

YOB and Pallbearer are at The Fleece the 4th Sept

Orange Goblin and Saint Vitus are at The Fleece Oct 28th

samzadgan

nice...@antique_guitars and @angrygoldfish would be in too

i haven't got my tickets yet, but I'm going to YOB in sept.

ill contribute...

Antique_Guitars

Yes I like the doom stoner stuff, my friends band are signed to the guy from Conans label.

Loobs

Can we just have a heavy music thread? 

meltedbuzzbox

Now I finally have a reference of what Satans arse gravy would sound like

:-P

Lew

@samzadgan see you there! 

@Loobs No no no no noooooooo! Nope! 

@Antique_Guitars ooooo got a link?

Deijavoo

I'm in!

samzadgan

I'm cool with general heavy music, with a slant to doom...just no djent 

as for YOB...I'm seeing them in London. I think that band Antique Guitars mentioned is Bast...who I think are also playing with YOB and Pallbearer in London.

i like that description!

Disappointed that the Sleep single is only 10 minutes long, think they need to smoke more weed.

I love a bit of early micheal Bolton, he could get quite "rocky" in his early days and was known to "toke the good stuff" , does that count me in?

Lew

@samzadgan ah I wont see you there then! No quarter on the threads doomyness :-!

Lew

Song from Electric Wizards new album here

Do these count? >>> QOTSA, Kyuss, TCVultures (i.e. anything Homme related!), most of the 90s Seattle-sound... none of it's really unknown, but the tracks here are fun and sound like what my friends & I used to make* before we all went our separate ways for uni!

*Especially Elder - I'm gonna check them out properly for sure. B-)

MattG

Hate to be a spoil sport but shouldn't this be in the music area really?

Lew

@guitargeek62 Kyuss were great. You should check out Vista Chino. The Melvins too as they bridge the Seattle and Stoner/Sludge sounds.

@MattG you clearly do love being a spoilsport ;-p

But yea as I said in the first post this might not be the best place 'cause people might get peed with it being stuck at the top. I think it is though because it'll have gear stuff in it and the traffic is good here, hah!

It'd be jolly nice if the mods let us sticky it here but I understand why that's very unlikely :-) happily go with general consensus/mod advice.

As I make Matamps I guess I should drop by this thread from time to time.....

Van_Hayden

To get this back onto gear (if that's what this thread is for?)

Matamp are doing a run of Green Matamp heads and cabs in green basket weave.

I quite like doom and I'm a real sucker for a fuzz pedal. So let's do some gear talk...

One that I'm running at the minute is the Maxon Fire, which is based on the Roland Bee Baa and could have been made with doom in mind - imagine an even thicker, heavier sounding Big Muff with some octave-fuzz properties too. It's wonderful.

Never played it on a properly downtuned guitar, I need to get my seven-string restrung and have a go.

My other fuzz is a Rainger Son of Freakenstein, which is just pure mental and sounds the absolute dog's bollocks no matter what tuning you're in - you can get some obscenely fat low-end sounds and some super-shrill, piercing lead tones too. Awesome.

I'm also after a Superfuzz (Shin-ei FY-6) clone at some point, and a Burns/Baldwin Buzzaround clone of some sort. I like fuzz, me.

That Superfuzz would be awesome. I've never thought of trying the Maxon one, but that sounds like it could be quite good.

I've had a more than a few different fuzz pedals...but for the last year and a bit, i have settled on the Pharaoh fuzz....its the one pedal, apart from my carbon copy that has been on my board for so long...and to be honest I haven't looked for another fuzz since I got it.

juansolo

I'm in obviously.

I rate everything from the desert rock rock of Kyuss/QotSA, the space rock of Monster Magnet, the psychedelic musings of My Sleeping Karma, the ludicrously fuzzy rock of Sasquatch, and all of the like in this category also. It covers a lot of ground. Basically if it's fuzzy, heavy and/or trippy, it's all good.
