Julho/July Stoner Rock

Bom, to saindo de férias e num tenho nada de bom pra fazer. Então eu decidi postar um disco por dia, só que só de stoner rock. De 1 a 31 de julho, eu vou postar meus discos preferidos ou aqueles que tenho curiosidade de conhecer do genêro. É difícil delimitar o que é e o que não é stoner, se é que existe o tal Stoner Rock, mas acho que no final, tudo vai ficar bem relacionado. Obvio que um monte de ótimas bandas não vão entrar como Orange Goblin, Yawning Man, Throttlerod, Dixie Witch, Colour Haze, Solarized, Green Machine, Karma To Burn, Cathedral, Bongzilla, The Obssessed, St. Vitus, Hidden Hand, Glasspack, sHEAVY, Earthling, Spiritual Beggars, Alabama Thunderpussy, Wolfmother, Fireball Ministry, Acid King, etc. Difícil escolher 31 nomes. Tentei incluir uns brasileiros e argentinos também. Pra falar a verdade, num tem nada de muito diferente do óbvio. Eu só estou sem ter o que fazer :P

----------------------------------------------------

Finally I will have my vacation and, well, I don't have nothing to do. So, I decided to do something different. In July, I'm going to post one stoner rock album a day. Some of them are the ones that I really love, some others I just want to listen because every blog that I go, I see people saying that Electric Wizard or Sleep is fantastic. To be honest, I never give them a chance, so I think that is going to be interesting to listen all those bands in this month and share my thoughts about them. Of course, some bands will not enter the list like Orange Goblin, Yawning Man, Throttlerod, Dixie Witch, Colour Haze, Solarized, Green Machine, Karma To Burn, Cathedral, Bongzilla, The Obssessed, St. Vitus, Hidden Hand, Glasspack, sHEAVY, Earthling, Spiritual Beggars, Alabama Thunderpussy, Wolfmother, Fireball Ministry, Acid King, etc. So, is hard to choose 31 names, but I do my best. I'll include some brazilian and argentinian bands to. Anyway, there is nothing different in this bands, all of them are very known. But, I don't have nothing better to do, so....

Skid Row - [1995] Subhuman Race

Todo mundo fala que o Skid Row é metal farofa e tals, mas eu acho que num é bem por ai. Pra mim, eles foram uma banda de hard rock bem respeitável nos anos 80 e começo de 90. Perdem só pro Guns N' Roses, mas aí já é covardia, ehhehe. Gosto desse disco, principalmente por causa de "Breakin' Down", que pra mim é uma música impar na discografia da banda. Top 3: "My Enemy", "Beat Yourself Blind" e "Breakin' Down". Pra quem gosta de: Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses, Buckcherry, Kiss e Ted Nugent.

--------------------------------------------------------

Everybody says that Skid Row is a hair metal band, but I just don't think so. They are just a good hard rock band to me. Well, not like GNR, but they deserve the second place in the late 80's. Maybe not, I don't know. Like this record mainly because "Breakin' Down", which is one of their most different tracks. Top 3: "My Enemy", "Beat Yourself Blind" and "Breakin' Down". For those who likes: Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses, Buckcherry, Kiss and Ted Nugent.

Death - [2009] ...For The Whole World To See

Não confundam com o Death, banda americana de Death Metal. Essa aqui é outra história. Rock de Detroit dos anos 70 que nunca tinha visto a luz do dia, até agora! Bom disco. Num muda a vida de ninguém, mas é uma boa audição. Top 3: "Keep On Knocking", "Rock N' Roll Victim" e "You're A Prisioner". Pra quem gosta de: MC5, Stooges, The Clash, The Sonics e Bad Brains.

--------------------------------------------

Do not confuse this Death with death metal Death from Florida. This one is from Detroit of 70's. Recorded in 1974, this album never saw the light of day 'till now. Great guitars and vocals by the Hackney's brothers. Top 3: "Keep On Knocking", "Rock N' Roll Victim" and "You're A Prisioner". for those who likes: MC5, Stooges, The Clash, The Sonics and Bad Brains.

Dinosaur Jr. - [1992] Start Choppin'

"Turnip Farm" é o principal motivo por eu admirar John Mascis como guitarrista e compositor. Como esse cara tem bom gosto! Quer dizer, nem tanto, ele podia ter arranjado um bom vocalista pra banda, :P . Pra quem gosta de: Neil Young, Sebadoh, Guided By Voices, Wilco e Screaming Trees.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"!Turnip Farm" is the main reason that I find to love John Mascis' guitar and song-writing skills. This guy is just awesome! Well, not that much, I still think that he should put some other guy singing his songs, because his voice... For those who likes: Neil Young, Sebadoh, Guided By Voices, Wilco and Screaming Trees.

Faith No More - [1995] King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime

Eu adoro FNM e acho que esse é meu disco preferido deles. Um disco com uma música chamada "Caralho Voador" não poderia ser ruim, hehehe. To cruzando os dedos pra eles tocarem aqui no Brasil (Fácil), principalmente em BH (Difícil). E espero que role um disco novo, por que ficar só em turnê de reunião é coisa pra banda velha, hehehe. Top 3: "The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies", "Caralho Voador" e "Take This Bottle". Pra quem gosta de: Janes Addiction, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Tomahawk, Rollin's Band e Korn.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I just love FNM and this album is my favorite one. A record with a song called "Caralho Voador" (something like Flying Dick) coulndn't be bad. Looking forward for a new album. I hope they put some new songs in this reunion tour. Top 3: "The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies", "Caralho Voador" and "Take This Bottle". For those who likes: Janes Addiction, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Tomahawk, Rollin's Band and Korn.

Black Label Society - [1999] Sonic Brew

Eu sei que o Zakk Wylde é um excelente guitarrista e um vocalista razoável, mas eu simplesmente não consigo achar esse Black Label Society essa coisa maravilhosa que todos dizem ser. Pra mim, é uma tentativa um pouco frustrada de ser um Alice In Chains mais pesado ou um Pantera mais melódico. Não que seja ruim, longe disso, o disco tem bons momentos e o "Hangover Music" é um disco aonde eu acho que a banda se achou, realmente muito bom. Mas pra falar a verdade, eu acho que a banda é bem superestimada. As vezes (lá vem as pedras) eu tenho a impressão que todo solo que o Zakk Wylde faz é igual. Estranho. Mas é um bom disco. Top 3: "Bored To Tears", "Beneath The Tree" e "Low Down". Pra quem gosta de: Pantera, Alice In Chains, Black Stone Cherry, Damageplan e Corrosion Of Conformity.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I know that Zakk Wylde is a very talented guitar player and a good singer, but for me, Black Label Society is not that as good as everybody say it is. To me, they sound like an frustrated attempt of sounding like Alice In Chains with a heavier aproach or a more melodic Pantera. And It isn't a bad thing, the record has good moments, and I really enjoy "Hangover Music". But, to be honest, I think that BLS is an overrated band. But is a good record anyway. Top 3: "Bored To Tears", "Beneath The Tree" and "Low Down". For those who likes: Pantera, Alice In Chains, Black Stone Cherry, Damageplan and Corrosion Of Conformity.

Nebula - [2008] Heavy Psych

Ultimo lançamento do ótimo Nebula. Eles tem ficado mais "space" e menos "punk" nos ultimos anos. Eu gosto dos dois jeitos. Que temos aqui? Fuzz no talo? Confere! Garageirices? Confere! Solos espaciais? Confere! Músicas falando de mulheres malditas? Confere! É Nebula como sempre foi, ehehe. Ouçam! Top 3: "The Dagger" , "Aphrodite" , "The Other Side". Pra quem gosta de: Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Atomic Bitchwax, Black Drawing Chalks e Black NASA.

--------------------------------------------------------

This is the last release by the greatest Nebula. I think they are more spacey and less punk in their later releases. Well, I like them in both ways. So, what we have here... Fuzz Guitars? Checked! Garage sound? Checked! Solos from outter space? Checked! Songs about killer womens? Checked again! Simply a great EP. Top 3: "The Dagger" , "Aphrodite" , "The Other Side". For those who likes: Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Atomic Bitchwax, Black Drawing Chalks and Black NASA.

The Black Crowes - [1992] The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion

Cacete! Quanto tempo eu não posto nessa budega? Séculos! Enfim... Black Crowes é minha preferida e isso todo mundo sabe. O "Amorica" de 1994 é meu disco preferido de todos os tempos e isso também num é novidade. Mas ultimamente eu tenho redescoberto esse aqui. Clássico! E nem é por causa de "Remedy" ou "Thorn In My Pride". É mais por que "Bad Luck Blues Eyes Goodbye" é uma tremenda de uma balada e "My Morning Song" é uma das coisas mais legais que já ouvi na vida. Incrível como eles nunca me cansam. Ouçam no volume mais alto! Top 3: "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye", "Sometimes Salvation" e "My Morning Song". Pra quem gosta de: Jayhawks, Jellyfish, Izzy Stradlin & Ju Ju Hounds, The Faces e Humble Pie.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Wow! It's been a long time since my last post! Anyway, Black Crowes is my favorite band. "Amorica" is my favorite record of all time. But lately, I rediscover this pure gem. Geez, this record is fantastic. And it's not for "Remedy" or "Thorn In My Pride". For me, the real gems here are "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye" and "My Morning Song", one of the best songs ever recorded. Hell yeah, I love this band! Top 3: "Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye", "Sometimes Salvation" and "My Morning Song". For those who likes: Jayhawks, Jellyfish, Izzy Stradlin & Ju Ju Hounds, The Faces and Humble Pie.
