One of the best bands of the last two decades. Live version from KEXP of Blood and Sand is a perfect representation of three hugely talented musicians who are completely in sync.
Yes! They are extremely good at writing space into their songs to suit their live performance. That KEXP performance of Blood and Sand is a perfect example.
of all "stoner rock" bands in the world, you are in for a treat with these guys. So much variety and depth and amazing musicianship. one of the best bands playing today.
By far my absolute favorite band of the last 20 years. Amazing musicians. So many songs you MUST decompose. Charles William All 3 Coyote Woman tracks Diamond When God Comes Back Saturnine & Iron Jaw Elk Blood Heart Harvest Feast Man I can go all day with these guys 😂 Glad you found them! Nashville represent 🤘
I always loved how at one part of the song he says "am i going up" in a lower tone then "am i going down" in a higher tone. Polar opposite to the rest of the way he sings those lines.
Geebz! Desert Rock started in the Palm Desert in the 90's. They used to have generator parties where they would bring their gear out to the middle of the desert with a bunch of generators to power it and just get noisy. They were basically jam sessions at this point where the guests took things and the bands would try and accentuate what their patrons were feeling through music! It evolved into stoner rock which is rooted in blues based phrasings and heavy distortion. Things spiraled out of control after that when someone got their hands on a couple of fuzz and delay pedals and fused it with doom metal. Bands like kyuss, QOTSA, and sleep are some premier desert rock groups. If you want something more sludgey I would recommend electric wizard and monolord will put some hair on your chest
For those that like QOTSA, Here’s a link to Make it Wit Chu from a Desert Session way before QOTSA recorded it on their album. m.ruclips.net/video/64DTlfBGp2Q/видео.html
That square-wavy synth sound is Allan Van Cleave on the Fender Rhodes, super interesting setup, runs it through two delays and at least one overdrive pedal iircc, they used a Mellotron in a few places on this album as well. Please check out more All Them Witches, these guys are so much more than the sum of their parts.
Best pick of stoner rock week. I love ATW. In my top five greatest bands of all time. You seemed to get drawn in a little more with this one. I completly understand.
@@GroupDaGroup Tool, Led Zepplin, Opeth, and Mastodon. Top 10 I would add Mettalica, Black Sabbath, Queens of the Stone Age, Pink Floyde, and High on Fire. That just my opinion. And I wouldn't give you a hard time over yours. Because its subjective and I'm not an asshole. ✌
@@hermestrismagistos3145 so we have very similar tastes. Atw, queens of the Stone Age, zeppelin, floyd, beatles, tool, the mars Volta, radiohead, system of a down, deftones. Honorable mentions are too many to name but bob marley, miles Davis, mastadon, primus clapton are up there. The past few years I have been trying to get into more obscure artists due to my saturation of the big ones. But ATW is the only one to crack the top 10. Fleet foxes are a fav also.
These guys are a gold mine. My favorite band for a couple years now. You can clearly hear all kinds of influences in their work. Pretty fascinating. Just saw them live!
Nailed it. They have a 1971 Fender Rhodes played by Allan Van Cleave, who’d never played a Rhodes before joining the band. Ridiculously talented band who simply can’t make a bad record.
As a fan of Stoner Rock since it started, right now I can't recommend King Buffalo enough. Their newest album, the Burden of Restlessness, is my top album of 2021. You should give Doom metal a go since you're heading that way. UFOMammut is a great start for psychedelic doom metal. Also, I've been listening to ATW for a long time now and some of my favourites are '41', 'Charles William' and 'Funeral for a Great Drunken Bird'.
I've not watched the video yet but I am so happy you picked All Them Witches. Probably the best band around right now! Definitely the most varied back catalogue of all the stoner bands.
Very Nice. All Them Witches are great. “Charles William” is probably my favorite by them. I’m glad you decided to perhaps do a stoner rock week each month. It really is an incredible style of music. If you’re going back in to the heavier stuff, a good band to help transition back to it would be High on Fire. A song like Rumors of War or Snakes for the Divine. Anyway thanks for the music this week, a few I knew, a couple I didn’t. It’s been a good ride.
Probably one of the best 5 rock/metal bands on the planet right now. If not the best. They are criminally underrated. Saw them live from 10 feet away in a small venue and it was INCREDIBLE. Super nice guys too. Please do alot more of their stuff. They not only have trippy stuff but also blusey stuff, heavy stuff and much much more. I wouldn't be mad if you did at least one of their songs a week along with Mastodon and Clutch.🤣🤘
Thank you Geebz, for turning me onto All Them Witches; I can't get enough of them! I would love to see you react to some more from them. Open Passageways, Blood and Sand / Milk and Endless Waters or Diamond make great choices. And their live stuff is criminal! I can't believe it's been almost a year since Sober! Congrats & well done. You have completely changed the way I hear music, and thanks to your recommendation of a headset, I have been able to experience Tool on a whole new level! It's almost like hearing them for the first time again & that is a priceless gift! Many thanks, much Love & I look forward to year #2!
This track really is like if Gilmour wrote a river gospel song, I could easily imagine his voice and lead guitar all over it. I easily fall for anything that captures that Floydian essence.
I absolutely fell in love with this band after my first encounter with them in 2019 on tour with Gojira. I had heard of the name by seeing it as a recommended on YT but never took the dive. They have so much emotion and diversity in their albums and Its always a journey. One of my favorite things about this band is how reminiscent they sound of The Doors. There are a few songs and live recordings where he fully feels and sounds like Jim Morrison without it feeling like a ripoff. My wife always loves me putting them on despite her not liking most of my music choices, but I always know its a sure shot choice since The Doors is her favorite band. Highly suggest something like "1x1" or "See you next fall" for future reactions.
great band I already knew, even though I am not the biggest stoner/psychedelic/rock-guy, but that snare with the reverb and delay is TO. DIE. FOR. Oh, all the rest as well, superb riffing, great vocals, great composition .
Had a feeling you would dig stoner rock/metal genre. as you said a lot of it is "listening" music, it so easy to get lost in a lot of the bands. I have a OK stereo in my car and on those shitty days. i like to decompress and cruise down the highway at night while listening to this music. puts me back in the right state of mind. Keep on keeping on.
I am in love with the track ‘41’ off of the latest album, Nothing as the Ideal. But that whole album is fantastic. I love all their albums but they’re so varied and ‘Nothing’ really resonates with me. Anyway, thanks for taking us along on your journey, Geebz. 🙏🏻
One of my favorite bands, really happy to se this reaction! I do have a few more song suggestions for you from these guys, though it'll be difficult to only name 3 or 4 songs...so I'll give you five, haha. "Elk. Blood. Heart.", "Charles William", "Diamond", "41", and "1x1" are just a few of the great tracks these guys have to offer, glad you're looking into them
A great band and a good song choice from them (although they do have more interesting songs than this one) I can listen to these guys for hours, without even being stoned lol
Others have said it and I'd like to just back them - All Them Witches are such a fantastic outfit. The much heralded KEXP performance of Blood and Sand is a massive sound and a personal favorite of mine, even if you don't review it, hear that session outtake it because it showcases some of the best of the band as a live act. Was due to see them in the UK this month but the pandemic has killed the moment. I hope this comes back around as a rearranged gig sometime soon.
Me and my ladyfriend are going to see All Them Witches in mid-October. First live show I'll have been to since Queens of the Stone Age in May 2018. I'm pretty stoked; we'll definitely be enjoying some stoner rock stoned.
Thank you for doing Stoner Rock! And for the love of the gods PLEASE do ASG- Horsewhipper!!! Now, for my usual :) Janes Addiction - 3 Days (studio remastered version) Moron Police - Captain Awkward Tool - Bottom
ATW is unique, even with the Floyd vibe. Nothing As The Ideal, the entire album, is on the level of Dark Side Of The Moon. I couldn't pick one song, but I bet you could.
One of my favorite bands! If you liked this a lot I'd suggest a track of theirs called 3-5-7. Charles William is a classic too. But you pretty much can't go wrong with choosing at random honestly. They just kill it always. Excellent live band too
Hey Geebz, good picking out that Fender Rhodes. They do have a Rhodes Piano in the Band. Check out their Live in Brussels for a feel of the live show. Aloha
Late to the party of this week, as it has been a busy one for me. Catching up on all this goodness! Bands that should be added: Acid Bath Clutch Corrosion of Conformity Yes, I posted them in alphabetical order. Also yes, that was on accident.
Wikipedia is wrong. Stoner rock began in both the East and West Coast during the late 80s. Kyuss and other band in California and Monster Magnet in New Jersey. They both released material in 1989 with Monster Magnet doing two on cassette "Forget About Life, I'm High On Dope" and "I'm Stoned, What Ya Gonna Do About It?", which are up on YT. MM vocalist/writer Dave Wyndorf's influences are early 70s space rock bands Hawkwind (who he saw in concert as a teenager), Captain Beyond and Sir Lord Baltimore, who are known as "The Godfathers Of Stoner Rock."
Wow, amazing track, thanks for introducing me! If I could give a suggestion for future installments, a band that I don't see getting enough love is O'Brother. They definitely have some real stoner rock vibes on their album Garden Window. I'd love to see you react to "Lay Down" or "Lo" from that album.
This whole album is a fucking masterpiece, it's not the most popular one from the band but it's definitely my favourite album from one of my favourite bands
The atmosphere this song breathes is dark and I dig it. Not one of the most memorable songs I have ever heard but still damn solid. MESHUGGAH - i (Come on Geebz, you know you want to!) THE FIVE HUNDRED - Walls of Jericho 🤘
Love this band! Their albums chronologically chart the development of their sound, and their gradual mastery of the studio beautifully. Nothing As The Ideal being the culmination of that to date. You must listen to The Coyote Woman Trilogy which runs through their work.
First time hearing them and I think I’m pulling very similar faces in appreciation! 😋😵💫 Definitely going to check out some more from them, really enjoyed that
You have to do MELVINS. Night goat is a good one they go wayyyy back. Give us a Stoney second week. So many great bands to explore in this genre. You da man geebz Awwlright. I am still here
Love All Them Witches. Bands like ATW, King Gizzard, Ohsees, King Buffalo, Torche, Elder, Snail, and Kvelertak are keeping rock at the top of it's game in modern day. And hell, even if I don't really like the mixing on Purple or Gold & Grey, Baroness is still a top tier band. Edit: As for the stoner rock vs metal, it's basically a difference in aggression, but they're all rock n roll, so it's all great.
An interesting band that bridged between hair metal and stoner/doom is Mindfunk. The difference between their songs Big House Burning and 11 Ton Butterfly are night/day.
Man, when you dive into the ATW discography, you are gonna need more gummies. They are truly one of the best modern bands out there right now.
WORD!!!!
Just found these guys after hearing Diamond for the first time a couple weeks ago.
I have to agree with you.
What a great band.
Mushrooms will do the trick 😊
geebz was soaring through the clouds on that first chorus. :P
One of the best bands of the last two decades. Live version from KEXP of Blood and Sand is a perfect representation of three hugely talented musicians who are completely in sync.
Yes! They are extremely good at writing space into their songs to suit their live performance. That KEXP performance of Blood and Sand is a perfect example.
Their live recordings are always top notch. I'm excited to see them live finally in our hometown of Nashville
HOLY FUCK! THANKS FOR RECOMMENDING THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE!!! I HAVEN'T STOPPED WATCHING IT! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
@@jjo.4717 This tracks an absolute masterpiece of what a 3 piece can sonically produce!
4 actually think you're forgetting Allen van cleave they're main man on the keys
Another band added to the playlist within two minutes of hearing them.
me too
Make sure to check out Lightning At The Door. I still love these guys but I can't say they've topped their sophomore album yet - it's just too good
@@makepeacewithdirt Everything on that album is phenomenal.
@@chrishexx3360 Hell yea man, glad you like it too! I like their whole catalogue but I def go back to that one most often
yeah, this song sounds great from the get go
of all "stoner rock" bands in the world, you are in for a treat with these guys. So much variety and depth and amazing musicianship. one of the best bands playing today.
By far my absolute favorite band of the last 20 years. Amazing musicians. So many songs you MUST decompose.
Charles William
All 3 Coyote Woman tracks
Diamond
When God Comes Back
Saturnine & Iron Jaw
Elk Blood Heart
Harvest Feast
Man I can go all day with these guys 😂
Glad you found them!
Nashville represent 🤘
I second When God Comes Back, that's how I initially found this group back when
@@sarumayne same!
I always loved how at one part of the song he says "am i going up" in a lower tone then "am i going down" in a higher tone. Polar opposite to the rest of the way he sings those lines.
Good to hear Sleep is on the menu. All Them Witches is great, anything by this band you can't go wrong in my opinion.
This is like their 20th best track. You need to go deep on ATW. Best modern rock band out.
Call Me a Star, Effervescent, Diamond, See You Next Fall, The Death of Coyote Woman, Internet, Cowboy Kirk, Swallowed by The Sea
Agreed!
I love ATW, but completely disagree. I love this song, its my fav from them.
@@freeman2228 they’ve got a lot of good ones that for sure!
@@chuck3586 you are right. I saw them last year. Best concert I saw all year. Cheers!
Ben Mcleod is one of the absolute best guitarists in rock right now.
Hes got crazy slide skills. Awesome guitarist.
He’s on this record next: ruclips.net/video/Da68oC1pOZU/видео.html

Wow, I can’t believe you put All Them Witches on. I love this band, but I don’t hear them mentioned very often. Very cool.
Glad to see All Them Witches getting attention!
You nailed it. They actually used to bring a Rhodes piano on tour with them.
Added this whole album to my library based only on this reaction video. Excited to hear the rest.
YES!! Hahaha i love when you find a band I would never think that you'd come across. ATW entire discography is phenomenal
These guys are a gold mine. My favorite band for a couple years now. You can clearly hear all kinds of influences in their work. Pretty fascinating. Just saw them live!
The vibe and trance this song gives out is so pure.
This group has it figured out.
This is an all time favorite song of mine. Thanks for doing this and all that you do.
They are my favorite band! And they absolutely use a "Rhoades" piano
If you like All them Witches, then you might like King Buffalo. Try "Loam" "Silverfish" or "Longing to be the Mountain"
Absolutely!!! Both bands are spectacular live. No BS to take your ears off the prize, just pure music!
Nailed it. They have a 1971 Fender Rhodes played by Allan Van Cleave, who’d never played a Rhodes before joining the band. Ridiculously talented band who simply can’t make a bad record.

Charles William is the jam.
Charles Williams must be decomposed
Totally agree
YAAASS Charles William 🤘
ATW is a great choice. I recommend Dying Surfer Meets His Maker.
Still voting for Symbol Song by Dredg though.
This one's more bluesy psychedelic than pure stoner, but of course, the genres easily blur and blend into each other ;-)
Diamond is their best one in my opinion!
Seeing them live is a whole other experience all together!!! Dive deep man, dive deep.

Yes to Blood and Sand / Milk and Endless Waters!!
Ooooooooooohhhhhhh..... Finally the Witches get some love. Thank you Geebz..... such an amazing group
Geebz, check out Black Mountain. Definately Pink Floyd vibes, and a very underrated band. Trippy, beautiful and amazing moody rock.
This track really is like if Gilmour wrote a river gospel song, I could easily imagine his voice and lead guitar all over it. I easily fall for anything that captures that Floydian essence.
ATW CAN DO NO WRONG, one of the few bands that sound different and yet fuck everytime. i recommend EVERY SINGLE song from them
one of my favorite bands, their live show in Belgium is a great watch
I'm so stoked to hear you react to ATW. They have a great variety in their song sounds. Thanks!
Truly pleasantly surprised by this! This is exactly my style!
Yes! Love ATW. Another great up and coming Stoner Rock band is King Buffalo. Please check them out!
Yesss! I love this band, but they’re small enough I wasn’t expecting too see a vid on them. Thanks!
HOWDY FROM NEW ENGLAND....YES THX SOOO MUCH FOR HAVING STONED JESUS LINED UP.....I LOVE THAT BAND FOR A 3 PIECE THEY KICK ASS!!! PEACE..
Best band of right now!!! Very special and important band.
Best band in the world! This is like their 25th best song too! Thanks for checking em out
These guys really jam , they're so young and have been jamming all around the world
Wow you are just hitting so much good stuff right now. Any ATW album around a campfire fire is magical. Dose as needed.

Blood and Sand / Milk and Endless Waters live at Rock in Bourlon 2019. Please and thank you.
The amazing ATW! Gotta check out 'this is where it all falls apart', a tune rarely mentioned but so so good.
Great call on the Rhoades! Allan Van Cleave plays keyboards for them and uses aforementioned board.
AGAIN, Stoned Jesus!!! "I am the Mountain"!!! We'll ALL sit through you watching that in its entirety!
Talisman by them is one of my favorites
See You Next Fall and Harvest Feast some of my favs!
A great band and a good song choice from them (although they do have more interesting songs than this one) I can listen to these guys for hours, without even being stoned lol

Geebz finally listens the way we listen music
Stoner rock is totaly his thing
ATW fkn rock. This song is one of many that will blow your mind.
I am really pleased to see Geebz taking a look at ATW as they are awesome and one of my favourite bands.

these guys also make cool blues-like rock they're pretty good at that as well
All Them Witches - Funeral For a Great Drunken Bird
First time hearing them and I think I’m pulling very similar faces in appreciation! 😋😵💫
Definitely going to check out some more from them, really enjoyed that
Reacting to YOB would be fantastic!
You have to do MELVINS. Night goat is a good one they go wayyyy back.
Give us a Stoney second week. So many great bands to explore in this genre.
You da man geebz Awwlright. I am still here
All Them Witches - The Marriage of Coyote Woman. That's the ATW track for me. I'd love to see your reaction/dissection to REZN - Waves of Sand.
Awesome!!
New abo
