Yeah, I was thinking of combo organs. I bought myself an Arturia Minilab to dick about on recently and I've been obsessed by the Vox Continental simulation in Analog lab - it has some pretty crunchy noises. I'm thinking that the issue with keyboards and metal is you can't quite get the rhythms a guitar is capable of - you can't really chug.

Artic Brother on that album is kinda getting close to what I'm after.

I'm surprised no one has assaulted your ears with this infamous album in regards to keyboards. Though it's probably due to it being more hard psych than stoner, maybe proto metal if you're feeling super generous. I can't decide if I like it or hate it personally, but there is no guitar on it!

Before going solo, Billy Joel was one half of a Psychedelic / Heavy Metal band called Attila. They released their one and only album in 1970. It is considered by many critics to be the worst rock album ever made.

End of the sixties, I was in a two-man group. We were heavy metal, we were going to destroy the world with amplification

They didn't.

Would anyone know any stoner or doom bands that are keyboard or organ based?

I know there's a whole bunch of psychedelic bands, but I'm thinking more of a Sabbath or Sleep sound.

Or is it impossible to play doom on an organ without sounding like Iron Butterfly?

Not organ/keys based but REZN have a fair bit of synth at the front end of a lot of their songs. they have two albums, the first one a sort of cosmic/space vibe to the synth, and the second album is more a underwater/deep sea vibe.

also check Ruby The Hatchet for some Hammond organ backed 70s rock with an absolutely incredible female vocalist.

Brann Dailor (Mastodon) had a side project that was /[super]/ synth heavy. But it veered toward prog rock and not really stoner metal.

I prefer this tbh, I know I know hour long tracks are "experiences" but sometimes I just wanna throw a few Dopesmoker or Bell Witch riffs into a shuffle playlist without having to listen to the whole drat thing

Interestingly, the Tocatta and Fugue that the kid is playing there (that's only the Tocatta bit) is pretty much 4 minutes of shredding, followed by 5 minutes exploring a riff - arguably the 17th century equivalent of stoner metal.
I have BWV 565 on vinyl somewhere with a bunch of other Bach organ works, it's definitely an important early development in SDS.

IDK but now I'm listening to the entirety of the two track version again. lol that people get upset about how hosed up Bongripper do or don't get when they keep putting out records like this.

Yeah but I did a little bit of digging and drop tuning had been in use by classical and blues for quite some time.

tho Iommi tuned to Eb standard, not a drop tuning. He mightve been the first I can find to do that.

s/t and paranoid are standard and MoR is three half steps down. Not sure if they started tuning down live leading up to recording that one though. The timing of losing the fingertip and tuning down seem to have been somewhat conflated over time

i stand corrected i couldve sworn i heard MoR was in Eb

I also did a bunch of research once and Sweet Leaf is in fact the earliest bong rip sample I could find (tho was that bong rip sample in the original record or added later?)

Some of Paul Chain's later work reduced the emphasis on guitars and focused a lot more on keyboards, although I'm not really a huge fan of that stuff when the traditional doom material is so good. Like, compare this to this

He's still making music, although he declared Paul Chain's artistic death years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1FI5Bs2h9s

Anyone got good youtube concert/documentary suggestions? been watching a few to get my gig fix and it doesnt really hit the spot but some come pretty close.

Thoroughly enjoyed the King Gizzard 'Chunky Shrapnel' film, and found this one the other night and there is some killer performances from early 2000's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSurEUOnqVA

That first song by Unida (black woman) is so intense. Really goes to show too that Josh Homme (who appears in the above doco in QOTSA) was not the mastermind of Kyuss.

Looking forward to hearing their version of Hard Times
The two tracks I'm most curious about are March of the Pigs and Purple Rain, which is a WILD spectrum of songs in the first place.

They've been one of my faves since Sky Burial & The Cavern, and as some have said they're amazing live, especially just watching TJ and his endless stamina. If you haven't seen it, here's TJ effortlessly aping John Bonham when he was 7 years old. Dude was born to drum.

Yeah, after some debate I decided to get one of the 1985 reissues that's supposedly mint off of discogs, because a large part of what sells it to me is that ridiculously awesome cover art, and it's much cheaper than a 1970 original. So much for the cassette tape I had impulse bid on, oops. Perhaps I'll darken a friends door with it or something.
