[Willard_420]

Stoner rock has been described as easily as the genre is said... smoking some marijuana and listening to some good ol' fashion rock. Stoner rock are usually bands like

Cancer Bats
Wolfmother
Queens of the Stoneage

I wanted to make a thread all about stoner rock. Toss some songs/bands around. I'll start with a few:

French Immersion - Cancer Bats
California Babylon - The Transplants
Viva La Revolution - The Addicts

i dont consider most of the bands mentioned here stoner rock if you are talking specific genre. but they are rock you like high, and if thats what you mean then it is just good rock. labels are useless and i like most bands listed save a few

[fixinonsmokinaJ]

i consider stoner rock to be...

Rock made by stoners and pleasing to the ears of stoners

[fixinonsmokinaJ]

to me stoner rock is...

Rock made by stoners, and pleasing to the ears of stoners...

i consider them all stoner rock, cuz they all smoked pot, and being a musician myself, i know there music wouldnt be what it is without marijuana

Are you talking about songs to get stoned to in general? or were you refering to the palm desert scene that kyuss started with tuned down guitars and progressivem trancy rythems? Queens of the stone age are bascialy the best stoner rock band, or any rock band, on the planet. (The lead singer/guitar god, josh homme, was also the guitarist in Kyuss.)

If you dont have they're live DVD, then you should deffinetly get it. Its called "over the years and through the woods." Come with a cd and dvd of they're amazing preformance in london. Theres like 3 hours of music on it! theres also old live shows on it with dave grol playing drums and even billy gibons from zz top playing 'burn the witch' with them. awsome concert dvd.

As for Kyuss, I give you permission to slap me across the face for hearing of them but never listening to them. I'll check them out right now :) And you gotta love Queens of the Stone Age. Millionaire has been my favorite song for a while now.
