More of that Monster Magnet stuff

Here's the tune that got me hooked on them. This version of "Nod Scene" (from their 1990 "self-titled EP":http://www.discogs.com/release/499931 - a German release! yay!) is simpler in production than their later stuff, but that just makes it all the more hypnotic. I immediately dug their raw presence which in their best songs has a Stooges-like intensity. So people, don't overlook Monster Magnet no more!(Never mind the video to the song - I couldn't find a better one, *and* this one has the EP version, not the one from "Spine of God", which, albeit good, doesn't have the "Raw Power" of this cut. Listen!

  6. River Lethe says I thought their last one, Monolithic Baby, was rocktastic! Made me go back and check out the older stuff again.

  7. poebegone says ooh, what a reminder. and i agree, the version from Spine of God is less raw, although that album does still rock hard. River Lethe's right, time to check out the oldies. (8

  9. mickimicki says @poe: I feel really old now!!! This song was a "newie" when I was 20... pretty alarming when it's being referred to as an "oldie"... time flies, though, so I'd better get used to it...

  10. Nixne Svix says Ive been listening since spine of God and have seen them many times , in fact I was in Holland and we had tix to the Amsterdam show and Wyndorf O/D'd before. You'd think it would be after Amsterdam, oh well. fantastic chaps , got to meet them at a In Store , which just happened to be a strip club. we were among about 12 fans , 20 strippers and Monster Magnet. Great night! Prost!
