SLEEP - Dragonaut (live at Hellfest 2013)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars red sky
The reptile pushes itself out into space
Leaving behind, the human race
Swim inside the solar seas
The Nebula cries out to me
Passing where I've gone before
I fly on through the crimson door
Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye
Flap the wings under Mars red sky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interesting. Sleep formed as band. And reunited as a supergroup.

[@truth135]

GhANeC unbelievable trio of musicians

[@konstantinov]

i prefer Haikus, but it's all good

[@neeltheother2342]

Hell yeah to High On Fire, Om, and Neurosis.

[@13tton]

Yes 🤘

[@r.edward5701]

Nothing truer has ever been said! Sleep

[@tytantyphlosion2910]

Sleep is the spiritual evolution for Sabbath. No over the top 15.5 string guitars, over processed tone, nothing to prove but the hypnotic power of THE RIFF

I'd credit early Electric Wizard too

Matt Pike is my spirit animal.

[@antoeasysweden]

I saw them playing in Stockholm last year, my life now is complete🐲

[@nocontextmemes2617]

I love this intro riff so much, it's like doom metal mixed with groove metal together it's so catchy especially with both guitars playing the tune.

[@bryandaniel2875]

I'm almost half expecting a dragon to come rising up in the background.

[@Ievolovel]

Thank you Al Cisneros, Matt Pike, Jason Roeder, and Chris Hakius. Bodhisattva's the lot of you.

[@BSIII]

What's not to love about this band. In their own league. Up there with the greatest of bands

[@jasonsanderson9947]

I just love how the cymbals look like flying saucers

[@oliveradams9104]

I could listen to the opening of this song on repeat for hours.

[@cucknorris6497]

This riff is amazing. Matt Pike is one of the most underrated guitarists ever. His tone is insane.

My new favorite band. This fn rocks. The guitar player is tuned to my favorite tuning of C standard. Awesome Video 🙏🏿

[@justinkline1294]

Crazy how far up the neck his plucking hand goes. Just slapping those strings on the fretboard. Gentlemen is a virtuoso.

[@nayr87]

Just like Geezer.

[@BobPapadopoulos]

Only Geezer and Lou Barlow beat up a fretboard like that

[@justinkline1294]

@@BobPapadopoulos Oh, Lou Barlow. Nice reference. Wouldn't have thought of him for this technique. Plus also a Ric player (at least for Dino jr.).

Gary LeVan Elder and Sleep. You’ve got great taste my friend.

[@xeverettx2564]

The mix on the instruments is so good on this video and the recording quality is very well done. It can be hard to capture instruments with so much gain/fuzz/distortion going on all at once. Well done!

[@jayjaykingbee5566]

Wrangling that Rickenbacker like a snake charmer does a Cobra. Sounds like an army the size of an entire planet invading, using sound to destroy entire civilizations, but it's just 3 guys!!!

Anyone know exactly what guitar Matt is playing? It looks like a beast of an lp. Like thicker and beefier than normal, cause Matt aint a small guy...and that guitar looks like a giant chunk of doom. 🤘🤘🤘

It looks to be an LP custom admittedly, I can see the Gibson logo on the headstock but not sure past that

Les Paul Supreme. They're fatter than the rest. The inlays are also a dead giveaway.
