SLEEP (and Om and High On Fire and etc.) - Page 3

honestly, in regards to om's new drummer. as far as i'm concerned, a duo loses one member and it's not the same band anymore, simple as that. too bad to, as far as i could see, there wasn't gonna be much from holding om back from dominating the world.

I love Om

Sleep are OK.

Never listened to High On Fire but they rule live.

that's that.

It's the original trio, Matt, Al and Chris.
That is what got me so surprised, because the latter two separated so drastically (cancelling a tour and all) only a few months ago.

Those two Sleep reunion shows were among the very best I've seen in 2009.

Anyway, what's everyone's opinion on God is Good, OM's first full album with Emil Amos on drums?

i really like GiG...it's a bit of a departure. go see them play if you live near a tour stop. the addition of rob lowe into the mix is a critical one.

i've been busy w/ the Sleep/Om/HoF axis over the last few weeks:

Dude.

Dudes, Elecrtric Wizard, Dopethrone. I could make a thread for that Motherfucker.

loubarret · 11.20.2009, 11:35 AM

013 is the venue I will see them.

Toilet & Bowels · 11.20.2009, 09:21 PM

that's interesting that sleep are reforming again

narlus · 11.21.2009, 12:23 PM

Chris isn't playing drums. Jason from Neurosis is filling in.

lame

pokkeherrie · 01.15.2010, 03:48 AM

^Yeah, I don't like the idea of them continuing the Sleep reunion without Chris either.

New High on Fire will be out on February 23rd.

there's a new track up at Stereogum:
http://stereogum.com/archives/new_hi..._ 108881.html
they appear to be going for the massive slayer/mastodon kind of sound... not sure what to think of that.

Toilet & Bowels · 01.15.2010, 07:15 AM

hopefully they'll tour the UK again soon

then its not really Sleep - are they playing gigs other than ATP - supposedly that was it.

pokkeherrie · 01.15.2010, 12:49 PM

Yes, they're going to do some east coast shows in the US... they have a booking agent:

I'm still waiting for that live DVD of the 2009 ATP gigs (their only reunion shows with Chris) to come out...

narlus · 06.09.2011, 04:13 PM

three more shows this year...next week in NYC, and some festival in Calgary and a show in LA.

if i wasn't so busy @ work i'd head down to see the NYC show...Winter and White Hills as support = superb.

btw, i did an interview w/ Emil and he mentioned the new Om record is just about complete.
