SAINT VITUS - DYING INSIDE

[@jamdwhi]

Alcohol knows it's gonna win. This ain't just some groovy jammy song Y'all. This is a terrifying truth for those of us who live this nightmare. I swear that booze is staring right back at me and laughing, because it knows that it's the sickness, but also the cure. It's a horribly vicious cycle. It'll make you sick as a dog, and then offer you the only real hangover cure known to man, which is more booze, which you'll then get another hangover from. It cures anxiety, but also causes it. It cures depression, but also causes it. It's the cruellest mistress. Randy from Lamb of God said it best "This God that I worship, this demon I blame. It's exactly the same." Those who don't understand what I'm saying, I hope you never do. I hope you stay naive and safe. This is a nightmare.

Cool story bro, tell it again drunk now.

[@TheWolfe666]

Hearing this reminds me of life twenty years ago, driving around listening to the Heavier Than Thou compilation album on cassette. I wore that tape out and drove everyone crazy with Saint Vitus. None of my acquaintances understood the greatness of Saint Vitus. Thought they were nothing more than Sabbath imposters. Vitus took what Sabbath started and then plunged headforth into unknown depths of doom and despair. When they broke up in the nineties, I was so depressed. Glad they're back!

[@donaldcady3839]

I had that cassette. I played it till it wore out. Trying to get all the vinyl again. I listened to it at work after listening to Sublime and Dave Matthews all night. My kitchen crew were bummed when it was my turn for music.

when the guitarist wears a t-shirt and plays the darkest doom, you know you are in the right place...

[@dagobaz7284]

Lol

[@sloshed-rat]

It's why I love doom. We accept all types here. You can dress how you want, act how you want.. we'll still accept ya. Doom/Stoner/Sludge whatever you wanna call it is one of the most fun and least toxic subgenres I've had the pleasure of writing music for and performing. There's no point in taking yourself too seriously when the music doom metal guys write, speaks for itself.

[@dextervortexsungte5348]

@@sloshed-rat but that's doesn't make the whole stonerheads have the same views, so nope you heard wrong, doom is all about solitude, alienation from today's pop culture, brainwash society. or else you're a softie poser. even gezzer butler from bs bashed against pop-rap star cardi.b and how stagnant today's music is

St. Vitus are one of the few bands that have an unmistakeable sound. You just hear one note played with that fuzzy humming guitar tone, and you know it's the masters of doom.

I ran into Wino in Downtown Rehearsals in DTLA on my birthday in 2012. I had been drinking all day. He told me he was getting the Obsessed back together. Later that night, I got into a fight with a bum and a midget on the bus ride home. I spent the next few nights in a jail nowhere near home.

[@jacklambert1521]

I lost my dad to wet brain one year ago. Hearing this reminds me of him. His struggles. We tried so hard to steer him right, but he truly did become his addiction. RIP dad. I know you're not in a better place right now, but at least you're no longer suffering.

[@KatyGroves]

These guys are truly incredible live. I had the honor of seeing them in 2012 and have a funny story to go with it too. I was 15 and rather lit at the time. Dave Chandler jumped into the crowd and everyone stood back except me cause I was too out of it to register what happened. To my amazement and horror, Dave held out his guitar as if he wanted me to play it. The problem was, I didn't know how to play and being the shy and awkward kid I was, I simply froze in fear. Instead of being an asshole about it like I feared he would be, however, Dave did something wonderful. He gave me a very kind, grandfatherly smile and simply placed his guitar on my head so other people could play on top of it. I was still very embarrassed, but looking back on it, I do not believe Dave could have handled the situation better and I will always be grateful to him for his kindness, as well as all the members of Saint Vitus for the phenomenal music they create.

[@bloodboughtbigphilr8266]

So poignant anguished, honest, soul searching and introspective yearnings of an alcohol addict crying out for an escape and a better way of living. The music of Saint Vitus sure expresses this so aptly and an almost cathartic exercise that helps bring about release. What it is that's so great about doom metal which these boys wrote the script for. True groundbreakers.

[@thomasfarmer1730]

these guys came through a time portal from the early 70's...looks like Ginger Baker(Cream) on guitar and Mark Farner(Grand Funk Railroad) on vocals

[@michaelschenker1955]

I was kidding, no problem!! The sound on this recording is almost perfect, it sounds pure St Vitus 100%, anyway if you say that it was a two-track recording, it almost a miracle!! In fact Wino's voice sounds greater than ever!

[@speednecromancer666]

[@6672rock]

The guitarist's soloing style kind of grows on me. It's frenetic, chaotic, atonal at times, uses the wah pedal to cover bad notes, but it works well for that sludgy kind of heavy metal. It lends itself well to the impending doom of the music.

[@ultra_dead_minds]

Favorite comment^

[@yugster78]

+Jarrad Lowe Lol both comments are valid

[@6672rock]

Well, I'm not saying he's a virtuoso by any means, but what he does works well for Saint Vitus. Kind of like how Johnny Ramone was about as simplistic as it gets, all downpicked barre chords, but it works well for The Ramones's music. Every guitarist across the spectrum of technical ability, whether it's a punk guy on one end or Yngwie Malmsteen on the other, has a place where their style gels well with other musicians in a band situation. Ultimately, to each their own.

[@thomasfarmer1730]

+6672rock yep I like what he's doing on the guitar.......this is bong metal ha ha

[@thomasfarmer1730]
