When i recorded an album in the 90´s (recording to 24 track tape) with my band at the time we recorded it in a work week so about 40 hours and mixed for about 40 additional hours the second week and that was a VERY pressed schedule and we were very prepared but we recorded alll the instruments separately so that takes a lot longer time. From what i remember Iommi himself saying in an interview they were actually given 2 days for just the recording but they misinterpreted that and thought it was 2 days including mixing so they worked with that in mind, 12 hours is really 1.5 work days also so its not really just one day in that sense.

    Stoner Metal is basically an off shoot of Doom Metal with a heavy emphasis psychedelic and acid rock.
    Notable Bands:
    Fu Manchu
    Kyuss
    Saint Vitus
    Down (A Supergroup with Phil Anselmo on vocals, Kirk Windstein from Crowbar on Guitar, Pepper Keenan from Corrosion of Conformity on Guitar, Jimmy Bower from Eyehategod on Drums (Plays Guitar in EHG), Rex Brown was the original Bassist, and Pat Bruders currently on Bass from Goatwhore and Crowbar previously.)
    Mastodon
    The Sword
    Red Fang
    Truckfighters
    1000mods
    Doom Metal, Stoner Metal and Stoner Rock all overlap but the main differences comes down to tempo, song structure and tunings. Doom Metal is typically tuned to C# and lower though that's not a definite.

      But I think the biggest difference between stoner and doom is purely subject matter and imagery. I'd argue that most stoner bands are doom bands and vice versa, the terms aren't mutually exclusive. Kinda like how Down is stoner band, and a sludge band, and a doom band, and a groove band.... bands can be more than 1 thing.

    Terrance "Geezer" Butler was brought up in a very religious household and wanted to go into the clergy when he was a boy. They all wear a cross when they perform and still do to this day. If you listen to the song "After Forever" you can hear what they really think about religion. They had a gig once across from a movie theater that was showing horror movies. They had realized at some that horror movies were big box office money. They decided to write "horror music" for the same reason.

Black Sabbath: 8 sacred albums released in the 70s: the biggest band in the history of Heavy Metal...After this, Ozzy Osbourne began his successful solo career in the early 80s with two masterful albums: Blizzard of Ozz (1980) and Diary of a Madman (1981), both with the phenomenal guitarist, the genius Randy Rhoads. Ozzy's voice: unique, impressive timbre, a living legend...Immortal...And, after Ozzy left the band, Black Sabbath continued to release excellent albums with the following exceptional vocalists: Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Tony Martin...And, for me, the Grand Master, when talking about the greatest band in the history of Heavy Metal, a band that even created Metal: Tony Iommi. This is an alien that is a million light years away in every way. Many people say that he is the greatest in terms of guitar riffs, but, in reality, Tony Iommi is the greatest in terms of everything: riffs, composition, arrangements, creativity, musical boldness, avant-garde, musical grandeur, timbres, effects, etc, etc, etc...I made a special highlight for Ozzy Osbourne and the Grand Master, Tony Iommi. But I can't forget to mention the other 2 geniuses who were part of the masterful and unforgettable Sabbath of the 70s: bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward...

    Good question about stoner vs groove metal. They definitely blend together often especially sonically so it can sometimes come down to the lyrics. Stoner metal is usually drug/fantasy theme. Doom + psychedelic rock. Sludge = Doom + Punk. I’m sure you could come up with formulas like this for all the sub genres.

    Black Sabbath's debut album was a seismic shift in the music landscape, birthing heavy metal as we know it. Their fusion of blues, rock, and classical influences created a sound that was entirely new and groundbreaking for its time. While their music might not fit neatly into one category, their impact on shaping metal is undeniable.
    The band's ability to create an ominous, haunting atmosphere owes much to their classical inspirations, notably Gustav Holst's 'The Planets,' particularly evident in 'Mars, the Bringer of War.' Meanwhile, their blues roots provided a raw, emotive foundation for their heavy sound.
    Regarding the jazz influence, while Bill Ward's drumming was jazz-inspired, Black Sabbath's music wasn't explicitly jazz. Instead, it reflected a diverse range of inspirations that coalesced into something entirely original.

    When they were still called Earth, the guys had to change the name due to another band had that name already. They had already written this song and eventually decided to change the name of the band to Black Sabbath, after their first song on their soon-to-be-famous first album.
    Their first 6 albums are absolute fire, how many bands can say that?

    One of my favorite jokes is that every early Black Sabbath track inspired a new genre of metal. Like all good jokes, based in truth.
    It's not just the triad, it's the time. The combination of the two is devastating.

    For stoner metal, Monster Magnet are always fun. They're a bit overplayed but Powertrip and/or Space Lord from their Powertrip album are a must listen if you don’t know them already.

      @@rustinpeace770 they were amazing, rock gods. It comes down to a subjective view. Zeppelin had an extraordinary sound, a range of rich influences and a visual dynamic that Sabbath could not get close to matching. But ( for me) Sabbath's blend of heavy, funk influenced blues, and their intuitive song building left Zeppelin in their wake. Just my view!

    I really like your approach and especially your sense of humour. Tony Iommi lost the tips of 2 fingers which included the bones, in an industrial accident. This obviously devastated him and he thought playing the guitar for him was over. The factory foreman paid him a visit bearing a gift (a record) Tony was initially reluctant even to listen to it. The foreman pointed out that the guitarist on the Django Reinhardt record had just two fingers, yet he could still play the guitar masterfully. This ignited a spark within Tony and even though the loss of his fingertips presented an obvious obstacle, he was determined to find a way to overcome it. After many attempts to cover these fingertips with various materials he eventually made covers of leather from an old jacket and adjusted his style to suit. What an achievement! As a youngster in the seventies Sabbath were my fav band and I still like to visit their stuff now and again. Have a wee listen to 'Changes' which was written by Geezer Butler when he split from his wife. If you have ever felt low and depressed you will appreciate this song. It shows another side to Sabbath. Please don't select the 'Changes' Ozzy recorded with his daughter, it's not good at all. Have fun.

    Oh, and speaking of Tom Waits, I recommend listening to "Lucinda" off 'Glitter And Doom Live'. Genre-wise, I guess it'd be some sort of blues, but the vocals are strikingly close to extreme metal in a lot of ways. You'll see what I mean if you ever hear it.

    Stoner bands like Sleep and Kyuss were doing their thing a little after the early doom metal proper( since Sabbath et al stick to hard rock-esque music) giants like Trouble and Candlemass in the 80s, but stoner metal is definitely derived from doom and got big around the same period that grunge was happening in the rock scene

  • @nickharland3795
    @nickharland3795 11 месяцев назад

    Stone metal... try the band Sleep. Dopesmoker is one of their best :) Other bands I've always considered stoner metal/hard rock are Kyuss, Corrosion of Conformity, and Cathedral.
    Great videos guys!!

  • @llaeeZ
    @llaeeZ Год назад +2

    Ooooh, Stoner Metal, thats my jam!
    Kyuss, obviously. Songs like 'Green Machine' and 'Demon Cleaner'
    Fu Manchu - 'King of the road' and 'Evil eye'
    Lowrider - 'Caravan' and 'Red river'
    Truckfighters - 'Desert cruiser and 'Atomic'
    Red Fang - "Prehistoric Dog" and "Wires"
    Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - '13 Candles' and I'll cut you down'
    Acid King - '2 Wheel Nation and 'Drive fast take chances'
    "stoner doom"
    Electric Wizard - 'Dopethrone' and 'Funeropolis'
    Bongripper - 'Satan'
    And completely out of the blue, the genre of "dark jazz/doom jazz" with bands like Bohren & Der Club of Gore.
    That would be a fun video.
    'Prowler' and 'Constant fear' are great.

    They said that where they used to rehears and play the people around wouldn't really pay much attention as they were playing. Then they said when they started playing Black Sabbath they looked up and the crowed was like that scene in Back to the Future when he went off on the crazy guitar solo and the crowd all had their mouths hanging open.

    - The Sword: Freya
    - Gods & Punks: Ascension
    - Apodemus: Monolith
    - Sleep: Dopesmoker (A very notable mention and absolute classic. It is also a 45 minutes long song, Dragonaut is not nearly as deep but probably a better bet for a video.)
