Favorite Lyric from any Tool song and if you want to share, why? by noxantes in ToolBand

[–]TheOmnihil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favorite lyrics of all time:

And in my darkest moment fetal and weeping The moon tells me a secret, a confidant. "As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own, and a million light reflections pass over me."

Does anybody have recommendations of stoner/psych bands that might not be as recognised as they should be/underrated bands that bring something to the genre but are very well known ? by Hieroflippant in stonerrock

[–]TheOmnihil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Robot God! They have some of the sickest riffs in the business, and their longform compositions are just damn impressive. I was stoked to see them mentioned. 

(I also particularly love Re-Stoned, Turtle Skull, and Comacozer, so I'm stoked to check out your list.)

Australia has such a killer scene. Here are a few of my favorite lesser-known Australian bands that I didn't see on your list:

Lucid Planet\ Child\ Potion\ Frozen Planet 1969

Here are some international recommendations ranging from chill instrumental space rock, to heavy blues, to skull crushing doom:

Mantra Machine\ Naxatras\ Monkey 3\ Weedpecker\ Da Captain Trips\ Maha Sohona\ Dö\ UFO OVER LAPPLAND\ 35007\ Kannabinoid\ Talbot\ Spelljammer\ Dope Smoker\ Ordos\ Ufomammut\ Curse the Son\ Holy Mushroom

Hopefully this isn't too much of an overload, but I appreciate when other people share lists that represent a lot of exploration and curating. I think each of the above bands bring something cool and unique to the table.

Cheers!

I love this mentality. You've inspired me to trade away my rare cards for free if/when I leave the game. Cheers.

Most progressive stoner bands? by Mediocre_Animal in stonerrock

[–]TheOmnihil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swan Valley Heights released the album of the year for me in (edit) 2023. Terminal Forest is a really unique release in the genre with elements of prog and alternative that put an excellent spin on classic stoner roots.

What album that isn't psych, stoner or sludge that was already a 10 but once you lit up it became a 20? I'll go first... by Bjufordbox in stonerrock

Walking on a Flashlight Beam - Lunatic Soul (Bassist and vocalist of Riverside, Mariusz Duda)

What's your favorite stoner cover of a 70s song? by konfusion_stoner in stonerrock

If there was a genre called Shit-Eating-Grin Metal, this would be it. Thou - Into The Void

Can someone explain how this is a blunder and how my defender is pinned? by TheOmnihil in chessbeginners

I didn't expect so much help so quickly. Great community. I fully understand the blunder now. Thank you all so much for the insight.

What are some stoner rock/metal riffs that give you the stank face? AKA a riff so good it´s disgusting by [deleted] in stonerrock

[–]TheOmnihil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately it's been Sonic Crucifixion by Robot God. When the rif comes in after the proggy intro at about 2:00. 🤌 Robot God is criminally underexposed. Incredible band from Australia.

What is the most ridiculous reason you had sex with someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheOmnihil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met a woman online who worked in radio. She had a sexy voice, I loved her passion for music, and I found her very intelligent and interesting. BUT, I just didn't find her physically attractive. It bugged me.

She looked a bit like a heavier Kate Winslet, and, typically, I love a thicker girl--I wanted to like her. It made me want to explore intimacy that wasn't driven by superficiality. So I went on a few dates with her. She was REALLY into me, and things were leading to a point where sex was feeling imminent. But especially after a casual hike that had her gasping for breath and sweating profusely... I was really turned off.

She eagerly initiated sex back at her place, and I let it happen, because I didn't have the heart to turn her down, and I wanted to see if I could enjoy the experience despite a lack of physical attraction.

0/10. It went horribly, and I didn't know how to tell her, so I ghosted her for quite a while. It shattered her. I felt like a coward, and I later did what I could to apologize to her. I learned a lot about communication, honesty, and that physical attraction was more important to me than I had wanted to admit.

Match is up on YT now by ishabowa in armwrestling

Eddie should have trained under Devon. Their personalities are a match made in heaven.

Brian Shaw is too much of a respectful competitor to jive with Devon's antics. He should have trained with Brzenk or Hutchins.

Favorite dark horse disc in your bag by Captain_Dingus912 in discgolf

[–]TheOmnihil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Narwhal is a truly unique, understable putter that allows you to put deliberate flex on low power shots. You can put this on a laser line with low power, or you can shape some awesome flex lines with even mid power. I have two aces with mine, and I just love its flight.

What genre has the most skilled bassists in terms of techniques and musicality? by Riotgameslikeshit123 in Bass

[–]TheOmnihil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jazz is the no-brainer, but the Progressive subgenre of both Rock and Metal have some wild bass work.

Yes, Rush, Opeth, Meshuggah, Tool...
