Billy Bloomer hey man, sometimes all you need is three notes and fuckload of overdubs and you produce one of the greatest doom metal albums of all time.
You can learn much from Neil Peart and his lightning fast drumming/timing. Playing slower, gives more space, and power, to the sound, yet relies on the same techniques Peart used/uses. Same coin, different sides. Hard to play fast and tight! Incredibly hard to play slow, and tight!! I just heard of them.. Poor man's Melvins! IMHO!
I saw them live for Scion. I have never witnessed a heavier band in my life. Every bass note Al hit sent quakes through my body. I became a vibration during their set. It was amazing
nah, each riff repeats 4 times and riffs have A/B variations so when you are at the second B variation you know next riff is coming, also bass does octave/blues scale fills before riff changes
@@tyretear1263 no way you actually listened to the whole song and figured it out! I like to listen to it, but more to the droning aspect of it. It's a real big and complicated to rehearse thing and i salute you if it's true what you said.
My two all time favorite bands are Rush and Sleep. Here we have a video where Sleep is rehearsing Dopesmoker while the drummer is wearing a Rush shirt. I’ll let you the reader work on the physics of the epicness that exists in this video for me.
Matt basically uses physical shit instead of a bunch of different pedals. Stacking a ton of amps, ect. He also frequently uses a 12 string with the octave strings removed on the 3 low strings, and the high strings being doubled instead of octave pairs. Basically his high strings sound like a chorus without a chorus.
@@aniquinstark4347 sorry for the random bump but Matt Pike has a 9 string. Not a 12 string with the 3 extra strings removed from the bottom 3 strings. You are right about the top 3 being doubled up and giving it a chorus effect. First Act does make (made?) 6, 9, and 12 string versions of the guitar he has though. But they're very hard to come by and last one I saw for sale was about $4k.
Riff charts used at the writing for each section throughout the song & then individual learned and put together. Google the riff chart and you’ll see the sections (Hotel Room/Cultivator/Morris) 🤘🏼
Why did this finish just as it was about to get even better.... DRRROOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.......... OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT........
dude, seriously, go see them live. it is fucking mind blowing, really. nevermind this rehearsal, like jason (the drummer) has already said in the comments, they were not in the best shape at that moment:) and he is an amazing drummer, he fits perfectly, the guy really knows how Sleep needs to sound.
I'm not sure if it's the same drummer but when I saw sleep they were playing with the drummer for neurosis and they sounded really great together. With all of the amps and the theatre sound, Matt pikes guitar was so loud
I like Marshall's but your so right, not enough balls for this kind of stuff, Orange and Green all the way. Sounds more laid back. Still great though. Also, Mapex, get in, I'm in Mapex Mafia 👍
Austin Eddington-Howe You're doing the right thing! Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend of the Who wish that they had.They've lost like 85% of their hearing during their career. The Who was in Guiness Book of World Records for a couple of consecutive years in 74' and 75' (I think) as loudest concert band.
@@chucknorris843 It's Jason Roeder, from Neurosis, right? It's been a while since I made that comment, but I think that what I meant was either that Hakius is a genius for coming up with the drum part for this song, or that he is just too good at what he does and couldn't be easily replicated, even by a good drummer. I'm pretty sure I've meant both of these.
Nipple, unfortunately there was no board mix or anything like that for audio, just the simple mono on-board mic of my camera. so consider this a drum-heavy mix.
@@MethSloth that's hardly "shitting" on someone, when merely expressing a preference for a former member. are you one of those utopian snowflakes by any chance?
Just looked at your channel and whats a girl like you doing in a place like this? seriously. Though, it is fucking awesome that you enjoy sleep. Check out Tuber. Not like stoner or doom but something pretty awesome.
he drummer has no pressure. none wat so ever. holy fuck replaising Haikus and sitting between Al ad Mat. i would fucking shit my balls from the thought of it, even to i thing id have an okey chance of doing the drums
mr neuroeder, i need to see if i can fix the sync of the vid + audio...your tempo sounded fine to me. thanks for melting thousands of faces off @ Roadburn.

Jesse Baart most of those amps were sold to Wayne 3. You can find some videos of him playing holy mountain and other sleep songs playing with those green amps used on dopesmoker.
vi cente No idea why I said Wayne 3. I meant Hank 3. Search for hank 3 exit in, there's a 4 hour set with all the amps as the backdrop. About a third of the way through he starts playing heavier stuff. There's also some videos of him playing sleep online.
Of course it doesn’t; it’s recorded from a phone/camera lmao. If you’ve heard Matt use a Marshall on occasion live (miced), you’d know he makes any of his amps sound incredible.
@@noahb498 Cool story brah LmAo. Not doubting Riffmaster Pike's ability to achieve amazing tone because I HAVE seen him live on multiple occasions, I'm just saying he sounds way better with a wall of Oranges behind him.
coming back to this, it feels like they turned the amps down and they are going through it to make sure Jason got the song right, I might be terribly wrong with this doe
In jam rooms, often the percussions dominate all other instruments. So that's why it sounded a little low to us. Matt's probably got in-ear monitors here, I'm watching this in Low Quality so i can't really make out.
@@jetaimeminaHe did say in the most recent rig rundown video that he doesnt wear earplugs lol. not the brightest idea but.. oh well, its Matt Pike. He’s the riff god for a reason.

plays three-note riffs at 20bpm for an hour
still listens to Rush
Billy Bloomer hey man, sometimes all you need is three notes and fuckload of overdubs and you produce one of the greatest doom metal albums of all time.
yeah, but a fucking complicated three notes
I mean the timings are complicated and there are these little steps out of the notes and come on, it's not just this
I know, I know, I just wanted to explain it's not simple

Great comment brother 💜
They rehearsing at Castle Wolfenstein?
John Stonebraker It’d be nice to use those Amps as weapons lol
Castle Reefenstein.
"achtung!"
GUTEN TAG!
Fucking nerds
This song is a gift to mankind.

I think the difficulty lies in knowing where u are in the song. Especially an hour long song like dopesmoker.
Nick de Aquino Harasz and especially when you’re stoned.

Didn't recognize matt with that shirt on
Matt has an amazing sixpack, but it's hidden under his bear like manifestation.
You sure that's a six pack, and not a pony keg?
it must've been REALLY cold
His t-shirts bend light around him like Predator.
Fucken boreing intro set the pace for the rest of the song👎🏻
When your bass player has a bigger pedalboard than you

How do they remember it? These long riffs take some serious memorisation, and you wouldn't have thought stoners could manage it!
It was sleeps biggest song
@@SJRIX405 Yes of course. Biggest in every sense. Matt Pike says memorising and recording it was one of the hardest things he's ever done in his life.
Yeah especially with all the small nuances and slight variations in the riff.
they wrote it.

"A jet-lagged Sleep." So would you say Sleep was...sleepy?
"jet-lagged smokers." I would say they're probably... Dopesmokers
why did cameraman stop filming just a moment before the voice begins? i wanted to hear "DROOOOOOOOP OUT OF LIFEEEEEE WITH BOOOOONG IN HAAAAAND"
+gimmigimmigimmi fuck yeah, i did too
gimmigimmigimmi Follow the 💨 to the riff filled land
*Ian Hand
Matt’s like every member of Sabbath but in one guy.😂
Simple things in life make me happy, like seeing the drummer of a band called Sleep wearing the tee of a band named Rush.
*Insert joke about Matt wearing a shirt*
The amps must actually be as loud as the drums, but when you record with a simple camera in such a room, the drums get over everything.
Played the entire album straight when i was DJ at whpk chicago 2010 or so. That was fun.
You got away with it!?
completely, late show.@@zampanoelegy7946
We used to play this on 420 on our doom and sludge specialty show at my college Station, wsou.
Hahahhaa unreal
Did that a few months ago on my local college radio station lol. Had a dude call in after the first half and ask if it was the same song
anybody else notice the picture of Max Cavalera behind Matt?
Matt is using Marshall's and Soldanos right now. Love those amps, but the Matamp Green is amazing.
HOLY SH*T IS MATT PIKE WEARING A SHIRT?!?!?
+casvandalist lol that is the first thing I thought seeing this after having seen them live

Absolute masterpiece of a track this
I love how small his drum set is
this song always makes me wish for the return of the Druids to Earth
Man just when it's getting ready to take off it ends...
All the youtube people who dont understand Sleep, or the mighty dopesmoker, make me love this so much more :)
almost sounds like a different song on Marshall amps wtf
C0nnie i think is more about the quality of the recording.
lotusflowerdeathstar
That’s part of it but the real difference is the Marshall amp, they always sound so thin for this style.
I was thinking the exact same thing
Those green amps don’t fuck around
a literal wizard matamp greens and orange amps
I like Marshall's but your so right, not enough balls for this kind of stuff, Orange and Green all the way. Sounds more laid back. Still great though.
Also, Mapex, get in, I'm in Mapex Mafia 👍
Haha people always give me shit for wearing ear foams to metal shows... look at Roeder plugging them up before they start to jam.
Austin Eddington-Howe You're doing the right thing!
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend of the Who wish that they had.They've lost like 85% of their hearing during their career. The Who was in Guiness Book of World Records for a couple of consecutive years in 74' and 75' (I think) as loudest concert band.
Yea. Whenever I play or go to a show, I'm stuck with ringing the rest of the next day. I just got sick of it.
***** Yea, it is better to plug them up to keep your ears alive to hear another day.
WHAT?!? Huh?!?
I've heard that many techs actually set up the sound specifically to sound good through plugs. Definitely the smartest choice.
Mike is king at the riffs....
holy shit! matt is playing guitar with a shirt on!!

Just doesn't have the same effect without Chris Hakius's hypnotic precision & reality-transcending groove.
IMO their current drummer does a really good job emulating Hakius

Who's that guy in the black shirt? He a back up guitarist or something?
Max Cavalera photo behind Matt,cool
they need their green amps back from hank III
Wow... Matt with a shirt?
Cold guitar Riff
tfw a Marshall stack is just your little practice amp... before you step out from behind the Great Wall of Orange
When I turn it on, I turn on the trees, and rip it for 29 minutes. Cops drive up and just listen in shock, like, "What is it?"
drummers confusion for the first 25 seconds....priceless
Can you imagine sitting in that room taking dabs
They need to rehearse this? I would think it's indelibly ingrained in their beings.
+Robert Smith Always need to rehearse. Always.
Thomas Carmichael unless you’re Lars
@@jakeherington7237 well, he still needs, he just doesn't. That's why it sound like he didn't

The picture on Dopesmoker's jacket resembled that of Roger Dean, who was in charge of the art side of Yes.
0:19 Seems like roder is being told shut up by Matt, Like a “be quiet young one” by the elders.

That ride, that damned ride!!!
Chubby. Weed, success, beer, and pizza, and time. It's all good.
Matt Pike with shirt? Confuse.
I wonder that's that black pedal that Al is using, and grey one too
The only song where you can skip ahead a week and the drums haven't kicked in yet. Fucking love sleep!
Wish they played the whole thing live
awesome rush shirt
matt just looks like someone who has traveled to worlds beyond and back again.
So bizarre that the drums cut through the guitars THAT much
anyone know what kind of cymbals are those? Paiste Giant Beat?
he drummer has no pressure. none wat so ever. holy fuck replaising Haikus and sitting between Al ad Mat. i would fucking shit my balls from the thought of it, even to i thing id have an okey chance of doing the drums
Jason is a founding member of Neurosis, so he doesn’t need to hide 😂
Jason is very experienced, and a great drummer from one of the heaviest and most intense bands, Neurosis. So of course he is a professional.
That Marshall may sound good in its own way but man you can really tell the difference between the Marshall and the Green amp.
Yeah it sounds like Lemmy is playing Dopesmoker 🤣
i need more of this
wow..catchy and i can dance to it..
I think he should keep practicing that intro....and it might not be long enough
