Monster Magnet

[Hammy]

I thought i would start a thread on this great band, i've only been listening to them for about a month or so but already have most of their albums and think they are ace and the album Powertrip is a classic, just wondered what everyone else thought of them

[Gunner80]

They're Okay. Seen them with Megadeth way back in '98 and they put on a pretty good show.

[Thumper]

I have their God Says No cd and I'd recommend that.

[R4tfink]

Just started listening to them again recently, i dont have any albums but they rock and ill probably go and see them at Rock City in February!

Stoner rock rules!

CAT - does that album have powertrip on it?

[Chris Misfit]

Powertrip is on Powertrip, amazingly.

EF toured with them when Monster were the shit a few years ago, and were offered huge amounts of record deals as they blew MM offstage every night.

I'd like to see them play the UK, but that's only because the amazing Gluecifer are on the tour.

THE MIGHTY BOOT OF BIFF MALIBU!

[Hammy]

I believe they are playing Academy 2 in Manchester on Feb 22nd it's only ?14 so i think i'll go should be class, Powertrip is such a good album my top 2 songs by them at the mo are there cover of Into The Void and Negasonic Teenage Warhead

[RicO]

Its an odd world isnt it?. I first Realized Monster Magnet due to the fact that i watch Wrestling. Now Matt Hardy Version 1 theme music is Monster Magnet's Live For the Moment. I then never listened to them until i looked at the Matrix Soundtrack that i have had for over 3 years now and there we have it another MM song.

I have Recently Got Power Trip and i have to say i am very Impressed.

Myself and StonedMaides are going to see them on the 22nd!.

Ill get back to you after the concert.

Later All

[Hammy]

New album! 'MONOLITHIC BABY!' out Feb. 16 in Europe! SPV STEAMHAMMER records! U.S.A. in March! Tour starts Feb. 20!

[Chris Misfit]

If any of you see Gluecifer let me know what you think?

I doubt I'll be going as I can't afford pay 18 quid to see Gluecifer, not when I'm going to see Winnebago Deal and The Dangerfields around that time.

[R4tfink]

Will do Chris!

[Hammy]

Monster Magnet a week on sunday for me so if i see Gluecifer i'll tell ya what i think.  I just got Monster Magnet's new album 'Monolithic Baby!' today and i must say it is fucking class, well worth buying.  I've only read one review, which was extremely good Kerrang gave it 5K's and i would have to agree with them (for once) i heard they gave Skid Row's 'Thickskin' 1k........FUCKERS!!!!

[Lineker10]

What type of rock is this? Like in what kinda vein?

[R4tfink]

Stoner

[Hammy]

Stoner

Ya stoner spacey rocky stuff (that should make sense if it doesn't blame the weed  }

[Thorazine Shuffle]

God Says No was released a month overseas before hitting the states just as Monolithic Baby will as well.  I'd Love to see them tour the states this summer.  Europeans have more of an upper hand than they think.  Also some great Gothic bands outta Europe that We will probably never see in the states

[Hammy]

Saw Monster Magnet last night and they were fuckin' ace (Dave used my lighter ) they played greats like Space Lord and Powertrip along with lots of new stuff, Dave also decided to sacrifice his guitar at the end and smash it up just before it he had been singing 'American Pie' he was stoned as a monkey and all the better for it

As for Gluecifer, id never heard of them before and did not expect much but boy they were class i was so impressed all i can say is Automatic Thrill

[Chris Misfit]

Glad you liked Gluecifer. I really wish I had gone to see them. I was actually at the venue when they were playing, but as I said, I ain't payin' near ?20 to watch them for 20 mins.

Monster Magnet are not a bad band, but I only have about two stoner albums, it really isn't my thing.

Tickets were only ?14 plus i would say the Gluecifer set was about 40 minutes maybe more they played a good number of songs and everyone was class i was majorly impressed im going to get hold of some of their albums as soon as possible

These are Monster Magnet's remaining tour dates im going to the one in London on the 12th April, means i get to see Gluecifer again as well anyone else coming to that one or going to any others?

[R4tfink]

Stoner Rock is my fave sub genre of Rock and Roll, Monster Magnet are one of the pioneers of this and i still dont have one there fucking albums!

Orange Goblin are another good stoner band, Chris Misfit used to have one of thier albums...i have however stolen it...un beknowns to him.

Down are another good Stoner band and so are Pantera and superJOINT ritual to an extent although both the latter are really more metal!

Some of Zepplins stuff is also Stoner, i can listen to that shit and just fade away and think about trivial unrelated to anything stuff!
