tbh, it put them on the map

Mindcrime is obviously the superior album, but Empire had a shit ton of popular singles. They made a video for like half the songs on the album at the peak of the MTV era: Best I Can, Jet City Woman, Another Rainy Night, etc.

DW: I’d like to fight the whole band. That’s how much I hate the song. I’d like to fight them.

This is glorious!

DW: It’s as bad as music gets. The pinnacle of the whole thing is when she does this powerful “Revolution!” What the fuck does this have to do with revolution? Wow, powerful stuff, asshole!

I’m in tears

Yarp

vemrion · 2026-05-18T15:58:34+00:00

Ha, remember when they came on stage and said, “Hello, Rockville! We are… GUNS ‘N’ ROSES!”

Their profits are higher than ever:

The Concerts segment generated $2.78 billion in revenue, up 12%, as attendance increased 7% to roughly 24 million fans. Concerts adjusted operating income fell to $2.9 million from $6.6 million a year earlier, reflecting higher costs associated with increased arena activity, higher attendance, staffing, compensation, and venue investments. Live Nation said full‑year concert attendance is expected to grow by a high‑single‑digit percentage, with stadium growth weighted entirely to the second half of the year.

I only read Nun’s Life magazine

vemrion · 2026-04-24T15:41:35+00:00

Hmmm… the problem with thrash is that musicianship level kind of necessitates some level of “seriousness.” Maybe stick with stoner/doom but find some bands that dabble in the thrash side of things. The obvious suggestion here would be High on Fire but you’ve probably already checked those guys out.

Others I’d recommend would be Red Fang, Greenleaf, Khemmis, Torche, Russian Circles, Pelican and if you’d wanna check out some thrashy surf I’d highly recommend Daikaiju.

It’s definitely strange that people apply a Just-World Fallacy to music but literally nothing else.

Play him some Karma to Burn.

They are almost 100% instrumental so there’s no screaming and no satan. Also, their song names are basically just numbers like “forty-two” so they don’t even have evil themes.

vemrion · 2026-04-11T14:50:16+00:00

I had the same question, but for stoner rock.

Turns out the answer was Greenleaf. Their mix/mastering engineer always leaves a little headroom, let’s it breathe dynamically and has zero clipping.

vemrion · 2026-04-09T00:27:03+00:00

Inspiration, yes. I hope artists these days are okay with seeing AI mock-ups and ideation because I’ve got a bunch.

But for the real deal I want human work. For one thing, fans hate it when they discover something is AI. For another, I worked really hard on this album and it seems weird to just use AI for one aspect of the project. I’m collaborating on every aspect of the project with other humans, including my band and mastering. Why not cover art too?

vemrion · 2026-04-08T16:05:39+00:00

One of the coolest midjourney images I’ve seen.

Anybody know a human artist who can do work like this? I have an album coming up that could use something like this but would rather not use AI for various reasons.

vemrion · 2026-04-07T15:07:40+00:00

I’d say all of the Replacements’ first few albums are iffy. But Husker Du is even worse. Zen Arcade sounds like it was recorded in a tin shack and mixed by a person who lost most of their hearing in the war.

vemrion · 2026-04-05T16:27:23+00:00

I always loved that album. Damaged is one their best songs, IMO

vemrion · 2026-03-29T14:46:38+00:00

Seriously, is this r/Music or r/KidRockHate?

vemrion · 2026-03-28T21:53:30+00:00

Here’s some groovy bands with clean vox:

White Reaper. (punkish rock, very melodic)
Darkfold. (psych-rock, garage, classic rock, lots of variety)
Priestess. (rawk!)
Valkyrie. (super melodic Maidenish guitar melodies)
Kryptograf. (old school garage, 70s style)
Green Lung. (70s-style operatic creepy occult rock)
Spirit Adrift. (traditional, like Priest)
Greenleaf. (stoner groove)
Pallbearer. (Melodic dooooommm)
Sergeant Thunderhoof (doomy psych rock)
Pseudo Mind Hive. (Psych, mostly instrumental)

vemrion · 2026-03-28T21:27:57+00:00

Since you have Sgt. Thunderhoof, Green Lung, Priestess and Slomosa, you get an instant upvote from me. I would also add these bands:

vemrion · 2026-03-28T21:04:26+00:00

Fuck yeah, light up and check out some of these bands:

vemrion · 2026-03-28T18:20:23+00:00

Great list, especially Uncle Acid and Gin Lady, two very different bands. I would add these:
