Monster Magnet - Ozium

[@thundertyrant]

This is for you Sean. We lost you 16 years today. We listened to this album non stop at your house when it came out. This song was always an end of the night closer in a smoke hugging the ceiling filled room at Club Ward. We miss you around here. I love you my brother rest easy. Riverland Gang Forever!!

[@redshaftedflicker]

The faster you gyrate, the faster we'll be there. Now that's what I call perfection.

[@1ocellus]

the one and only time i ever saw Monster Magnet, i was in high school and they were touring for superjudge, with raging slab opening, and there was a crowd of like 20 people in the club, and both bands played there asses off, and Dave and the band hung out after the show and were super cool. to this day, one of my favorite shows i saw as a teen.

[@billriddle9215]

Best tour ever,saw them in San Jose,played most of the first two albums live.

[@FreakishPower]

One of the most under loved bands in the history of Rock

[@Psych0nautilus]

They sure tried hard, and thats a good thing

[@zztosha]

On of the mellowest songs out there. Earlier Monster Magnet are amazing.

[@mrgerrytube]

Out there on its own, stretching out into the cosmic infinity… I will not be denied. Baby yeah. Never bettered. Incredible tune. The nadir of MM 🙌🙌🙌🙌🤘🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@yootchoobe]

Absolutely.

[@fluffyusa]

one of the best albums in the 90's. not too many people ever heard of. the spine of god, baby. have a beer in one hand and other hand (puff the magic dagron).

[@michaelheinen4870]

Dopes to Infinity IS a little Bit better i think

[@Tyrannosaurine]

To each their own, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Having said that, I believe that their music suffered from McBain’s departure. Gone were the long space jams that are right up my alley. They were replaced with a more “rock and roll” sound that can be kind of generic in my opinion, and no where near as unique or experimental. Also McBain had a certain tunefulness that they lacked later on. He got “out there” and “heavy” without playing the same distorted power chords every other band in the world uses. Their more “rock” material can border on “cock rock” and at times can be downright cheesy. I don’t think their later material was necessarily bad, but as the focus shifted from long psychedelic jams to shorter conventional song structures my interest waned. Early on they sounded like a group of dudes just “going for it”. Exploring the outer limits of the droney psych jam. They created fresh and exciting sonic landscapes and they had a sound that while influenced by early Pink Floyd and Hawkwind was unique and all their own. Nobody else sounded like Monster Magnet. Later on, the material was more conventional and the material was simplified. Over time it became more and more about Wyndorf’s persona and his singing was much more prominent than before. Now there are hundreds of bands doing similar things. Certainly they were one of the first “stoner rock” bands but fuzzed out 70’s rock isn’t exactly a style that they alone created. Of course, Ed Mundell can fucking rip, but I much prefer McBain’s more atmospheric Syd Barrett style textural landscapes. I guess what it boils down to is: Monster Magnet are no doubt pioneers in their genre and continue to be a good band. They do what they do well. But there are many, many bands doing a similar thing. TAB/Spine of God-era Monster Magnet didn’t sound like anyone else. It was unique and artistically progressive.

[@ozricness]

I reckon Dopes is a fantastic album; it may be even more psychedelic in some respects. But I don't like the non-psy albums after that.

[@Otho666]

Bra-fucking-vo!!!

[@psychomantis183]

Space jam’s are under the banner of rock’n’roll and they did not get “simpler” or less unique as they went on. Their identity evolved into something that wasn’t for you i.e.: they became broader than space rock.

[@DominiqueVanheusden]

Finally someone that expressed my thoughts. 🔊👍🦄🦄🦄

[@paulkruger491]

That long red hair guy?. He's fantastic. But Dave is great. I love all his work. But power Trip is my favorite.

[@kyussgre]

psychedelic masterpiece...proud heritage of Roky and Syd!

[@Syd4510]

This is as amazing as Acid Mothers Temple. Brilliant track!!!!

[@scribs76]

I hear ya.Being a teen at the time this is all i listened too. Dark nights laying in bed with the lights off stoned just soaking up my thoughts without one depressing thing to think about. Cant do that now seeing this world has a grip on my ass being older!!! But still listen from time to time.Thanks for posting!!

[@danielmcallan]

I was always missing spine of god in my MM collection. Now that i finally have it i now understand what everyone else has been saying about this album. ORGASMIC

[@DavidaVeddar]

Got stuck on this for the first time, 20 years ago. Epic!

[@garyfenlon5769]

Whenever i listen to this song i feel like God is whispering all the universe's secrets into my ear and i become massive and omnipotent, i see everything that has happened, everything happening right now and everything that will happen and my mind is at peace.

Monster Magnet are great. Love the artwork on this video too.

[@Bingo-Bongo69]

March, 18 in Cologne, see you Dave. This is the best of the best. Thank´s.

[@davidjones6262]

Love... The perfect take off maybe from Mars... But it's cool enough at a Drone level... and think about dinosaurs I'm an old geezer but still hanging around... but this song is a great a great apocalypse ☠️🎸🎸🎸☠️🎸🎸🎸☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@Libertine62]

Thank you, I really do appreciate that. I did put a lot of effort into this video to try to capture the spirit of the song with the slides I used...because I love the band and especially this song.

[@Bingo-Bongo69]

WOWWW, bei dem Stück muss ich mich immer irgendwo festbinden, sonst flieg ich weg. Dave, du bist ein Genie! Danke!

[@Libertine62]

Yes it is. :) Monster Magnet is just a great band plain and simple. They rank right up there with Zep, Sabbath, Floyd, and the other great ones on my list. 8)

[@nostradumbass4984]

They are also one of the big ones for me. Right up there with AC/DC, Priest and Sabbath! Will be seeing them for around the 6th time next week :) I also got to meet all of the band except for Dave :( at an aftershow party a couple of years back. They were all very friendly, down to earth guys!

[@Mastorn]

Dear Uploader, As a Monster Magnet fan who is also a reader of Marquis De Sade and a ordained SubGenius Minister I just want to say that we should probably grab a beer sometime.

[@SplitHoof]

They say we've got a lifetime, but we know that aint true...I will not be denied !

[@BiLLz66614]

This videos been up forever still come back through the years

[@tomtom4730]

Stunning

[@Libertine62]

Thanks...and the song really helps take you there. Great song, great album, great band...

[@deestttone791]

Anybody else brought to this song through Electric Wizard? Jus Oborn was on a podcast 2 years ago, that listed 20 songs that he loved and respected. And Ozium was the next to last track. Killer...

[@Libertine62]

Thank you... :-) And I love the ones you did for the songs Nod Scene, Snake Dance and Superjudge...they were outstanding videos. I hope everybody checks out the ones you did...they were partially the inspiration for me to make my videos.

[@dam4762]

I`m having a flasback to the 70`s. Is it this music? Maybe I should ask the Space Lord as he floats by.Monster Magnet ROCKS

[@wp5875]

Awesome. Pics fit the song perfect.

[@Libertine62]

Just saw them last Saturday May 16th at the Starland in NJ. All in attendance were up to our brains in the mire of the ancient swamp...it was a beautiful thing. Time slowed to a crawl. If you get a chance to see them now that they are touring again don't miss it...trust me you won't be sorry.

[@alex270578]

Great song and the Video is yammyamm the right thing for those special moments

[@TheMacKosh]

MM are the only band I love never to do a bad album. This early stuff makes me smile and light a bong just as the new stuff makes me sing and mosh. Gods and Punks alike should recogonize the genius of Magnet, everyone I play them to has loved them.. How the hell did they not make it big? Keep your Poo Fighters, My Chemical Toilets and Green Puke.. cos I TALK TO PLANETS BABY!!!!"

[@phillipobrien5618]

So Stalloned and this is the best song for. I love these guys...they had it right. Punk rock was originally too much just checking everyone else out. These guys blew the doors off of everyone...no more posturing.... just rock like your life depended on it

[@Libertine62]

I will try to get videos made for those...and I'll probably doing videos for songs off of 4 Way Diablo when it is finally released. I was fortunate to hear a promo copy and it kicks ass.

[@mangomariel]

Word, this song and Pill shovel is so good!

[@italk2planets]

great video. the images go so very well with the music and the lyrics. :)

[@gerryfinn8646]

One of the best songs ever. Just fucking class. And an epic wig out. Brilliant

[@philippkempter1771]

me and my friends was high on shrooms prety tough. and that song sounded in the background, sudenly anowl appeared( inn real) sat in frront of us like it would have a konecktion with our thoughts and mind. it sjust stood with us for a long time and then flew away. a white bigg owl. that was so intens and freaky too- that i will never forget!

[@lvalor]

I had the good fortune to be a guest at Stevie Nicks house and she had a can of Ozium in there.

[@joannablake4244]

Dave Wyndorf has a lovely, lovely voice and is such a gorgeous male!!xx

[@Ickyfoss17]

Haven't heard this song in years I've seen this band so many times and I just listen to mine f***** and that got me thinking about ozium and spina God I love this band I want to cry

[@Libertine62]

I hear the new album kicks ass...Rumor has it that it has a Rolling Stones cover on it too. I don't know if it will be psychedelic like SOG, Dopes or Superjudge but it is said it is the best the band has done since Powertrip...yep, I'm REALLY looking forward to it. ;-)

[@phillipobrien5618]

Love... it's just the start of the end you know is happening.... Whatever that means... Stalloned!. love that song

[@Libertine62]

Thanks...glad you like it. 8) Yeah I have the reissued SOG. It was a bit of a tough call whether to use the demo or this version of the song. I ended up going with this one.

[@nathenism]

awsome visuals

[@AncientSlugThrower]

So if I take the right combination of drugs and listen to this song will I achieve apotheosis?

[@phillipobrien5618]

One of the most mind bending songs ever... this is the later song after Freak Shop USA.... David passed out and came up with this entire album... ending with the most apocapaliptic song ever...way better than the Doors The End...

[@jbolton4973]

Love this song like crazy, but why the knock on the doors? Was there ever a comparison? Two different generations stoned out on acid man. Wyndorf loved the doors by the way.

[@ignoblesavage5559]

@@jbolton4973 not necessarily a knock on the doors as a huge compliment to MM, or at least to this song. It will not be denied.

[@Libertine62]

@brybish - LOL...people who have listened to them a lot don't know what to make of them at times too, but we're loyal fans of whatever it is. There sound and style has changed so much over time it is hard to catagorize their music. Rock & roll probably sums it up best.

[@Libertine62]

Philip Etheridge Thank you Mr. Deane. You are a fine southern gentleman. Just saw this comment. Haven't seen you around the Rubber Room much lately. Your presence has been sorely missed

[@ElectricGypsy95]

@shawzymofo I definitely see the difference in the music from the early stuff to Powertrip and what followed. They really did away with lots of the echo-y, swirly sounds by Powertrip. But I like the newer stuff just as much as the old stuff. Their newer stuff has some great riffs. I do, however, like this production sound much better than with later albums.

[@Libertine62]

Thanks Katy...I try to put some thought into picking them to compliment the music. :-)

[@dogewood5499]

If you guys are “in the know” about what this song’s about, it’s heavily inspired by Emmanuel Velikovsky’s book “Worlds in Collision”, which deals with the primordial “Saturn Sun Theory”, which tries to scientifically explain the Sumerian creation story of the “Purple Dawn” or the Ancient Greek version of the “Golden Age of Saturn”. The name of the band, the album title, and cover art are all loaded with Saturn Symbolism. Btw “Ozium” isn’t just an air-freshener or whatever: It’s a reference to one of the oldest names for Saturn, being “Uz”, from which we get the name “Osiris” (the Egyptian God associated with said planet), and the word “Ox”, as Saturn was once called the “Bull God” or the “Bull / Ox of Heaven”. “Oz, the Great and Terrible”, right? If only more folks knew about this kinda stuff lol

[@SolidBased]

Man such a GREAT FKN ALBUM through & through!!! Been places not many but a few have been but should visit sometime with this album lol!! Spiral on🤙!!!!

This tune takes me back twenty years,to a long hot summer of acid and skinny hippy chicks... fucking great summer.

[@TrevorSeery]

@Libertine62 Hey a year later on your comment, first of all cheers for the good tunes.:) Secondly, heard some info regarding why desert/stoner bands do not like playing US at the moment, basically what I heard is its harder for bands to make money on merchandise in the states than in Europe. Its easier and to a certain degree a little more profitable to play in EU. Just what I heard, take it with a pinch of salt though!!

Stoner Rock Forever !

[@ShiekUrBooty]

hahahaha, I never heard this one before...this is good shit.

[@Libertine62]

@shawzymofo - They changed style but I loved everything up to, and including, God Says No. Powertrip and GSN took them in a heavier direction but it was VERY good music nonetheless (for example the song "All Shook Out", off of GSN, is one of my favorites from the band). My faves are the early stuff from their EP up to Dopes. Their 'psychedelic' stuff. In the regard that their best music was the early stuff...we don't disagree on that.

[@pajax6]

I don't know what to make of them either...but this is one great song!

good pictures and video indeed :P

Agree on the production on more recent albums. The music is still good, you notice that live immediately, but the studio versions could be a lot rougher around the edges. Needs more dirt.

[@Scirzo]

great pics with this song from the time they still made great music...too bad it sucks nowadays

[@mistique5]

yeh xelent track.

[@DeathBringer9000]

its reminiscent of 70s psychedelic rock

[@BaronvonBlutwurst]

@shawzymofo Yes they did...they had a passion for the music up until that album.

@shawzymofo definatly except 4-way diablo is pretty damn good but nothing can ever beat this. just too perfect

i don't know what to make of these guys.as a newby to monster magnet who are they and what are they about? the hawkwind cover got my interest and i like the sound.

[@davidjones6262]

Yeah...this is a kiss whildst going to heaven...or hell "Writght those hungry Jack's....to the mindless groove"

[@Libertine62]

If you're from the US, like I am, don't worry Peeler the band doesn't give a shit about you anyhow...you're not a failure, you're a smart person for not giving your money to a band that doesn't give a rats ass about their fans in the States anymore.
