[@KianOntong13]

Rock isn't dead. It's just more hidden these days.

Hey what's up

[@KianOntong13]

John Shockey Nothing really, just writing exams.

[@Ido_Feinstein]

+Kian Ontong Rock will never die!!!!

[@ImRhubarb]

+Kian Ontong All the good stuff has allways been 'hidden'. The people who don't know that say things like 'Rock is Dead'.

[@toynazi]

Gummo opened my eyes up to this band. So glad. They fucking rock!

[@lynchie137]

That movie was batshit weird, But the soundtrack was stellar.

[@SantaryGreen]

This is probably one of the best, most pure music videos ever made.

[@ImagesOfPurgatory]

Possibly the best band to come out of San Jose, makes me proud.

[@HughManatea]

The opening reminds me of Fairies wear boots by Black Sabbath.

[@JanTJaeckx]

+Jacob Wilson Logically this is early stoner/doom metal, sabbath was predoom metal, without sabbath no doom, death or black metal.

[@HughManatea]

its great thats what i think is awesome as well. i like that most stoner/doom is recorded in a rough grainy way most the time

[@errm1913]

+Jacob Wilson it is Black Sabbath - Lord of this world

[@dreadydrumdave0]

+Jacob Wilson and money by pink floyd!

[@HughManatea]

The more i see this i want the Rickenbacker bass.

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

I just heard of this band today after my friend told me to learn this song on bass. I'm blown away. This band is amazing.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

That is an evil bass line, and some really crazy drumming and guitar riffage, and to top it off those dark and haunting vocals make this a killer track. The video matches the mood and flow of this song perfectly. Why like so many talented bands are they unheard of. I guess it makes listening to their music a more personal experience since few know of them.

[@johnrobertweyn4489]

I can't believe I went this long without hearing this

[@gdsmith4246]

+John Robert Weyn Me too. Got a fuzz pedal (Big Muff Pi Deluxe) for my guitar and then went searching for good fuzz pedal songs on KZbin. This one came up pretty quickly and damn, that's some high octane stuff. Sabbath never dies!

[@jacketgreatorex]

was jamming this with friends today, felt the spirit

[@epasternak4206]

J.Yunger, (White Zombie) had a column in guitar mag, he would talk about new bands he liked, Sleep was one of them. 1992 or 93. I immediately was on a mission to find Sleep, once I heard it I was hooked on them, Wish White zombie would have brought them on your.

[@discipleofsound4565]

This whole song is just one great riff after another

[@dischargedarrowgetback4322]

Like Blue Cheer, it's a band that feels the primitive power that rock originally had.

[@siouxicidal951]

Hey if it weren't for Gummo, most of us wouldnt have ever found this. This is my new favorite song, cant get enough.

awesome, very Sabbath-y

[@Сова32]

definitely one of my favorite videos on all KZbin. loaded back in those days when I was at school. Somehow I remembered about it after so many years

[@stevejones9737]

Met a guy at a Clutch concert had there shirt on. As a bass player and a Rickenbacker fan that first 120 seconds is pure genius. Thanks for the riff.

[@erichoff7511]

What a sound and visual. Metal thrives down there.

[@MikeTaylorLives]

It's good to know that somebody out there still knows how to make some good old rock 'n' roll.

[@brandonherndon4394]

Black Sabbath totally jacked their style.

[@luanamil]

Yes! first few seconds I heard I already figured it out.

[@mclarenCR]

Brandon Herndon who cares? Most of metal acts are someone else's stuff. Let's enjoy it

[@fizzyissie]

Black Sabbath pre-dates Sleep by about 25 years haha! So this comment is pretty funny :P

[@SBrown-ti8xe]

@@fizzyissie He's just trying to say they made this style their own.

[@jakekunhart7810]

black sabbath was around before sleep...

Recommended by a friend and came here not disappointed.

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 through the crimson door Ride the dragon toward the crimson eye Flap the wings under Mars red sky

[@veganxbones]

I didn't know video quality went as low as 144p until I saw this video. Thank you Sleep, still educating me despite your disbandment

[@bg4567890]

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

[@learningrichard]

I got bounced to this video from a playlist -- some one disabled comments for Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy. All this technobabble is making my head hurt. Look... in the 70s when I was a skinny preteen trying to keep up with my headbanging poor ass brother and his cool friends, all I know is that this sort of acid rock along with Jailbreak and shit like Stealing by Uriah Heep is what kept me feeling cool, and it still does! What else matters, ON DA REAL?

[@calebnichols3111]

This is my first time listening to stoned metal, and I like it. It's a chill/relaxing genre of metal.

[@QueefJuiceOverflow]

I hate to dislike this video, but that joint needs to stay lit!

[@mrtabitha31]

Yes sir! I could listen to this all day.

[@RonStrauss]

It's kinda hard to say for sure which of the two influenced who (kyuss actually released their first album in 90' while sleep in 91') but I can say without a doubt we all owe black sabbath big time. Those guys fucking rocked with their early albums.

[@jimmykershaw5049]

THIS IS WHAT METAL IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE. MULLETS CUTOFF SHIRTS AND ROCK N ROLL

[@darwleg]

Money from Pink Floyd?

[@noblesavage7976]

+darwleg could be, but some bands do that, change a classic riff a bit at the tuning or the playstyle, to make it more accessible! I will have it mostly cause Sleep have nothing to prove and dont need to steal ideas to reach the top! Stay high

[@robertoricci3393]

+darwleg with Lord of this World from Black Sabbath

Get it? Money is the lord of this world. Eh? Eh?!

+darwleg No, Dragonaut from Sleep.

[@Teichralle]

stoner rock tiene una cualidad hypnotica.Los riffs quedan los mismos durante mucho tiempo como por ejemplo el bajo en Earthless- sonic prayer..demas tiene muchas influencias psycodelicas de la musica de los anos 70s. eso es solo un ensayo de explicar, pero existe un grand territorio de stoner rock con muchos subgeneros o variaciones. el nombre "stoner rock" intenta de circundar un genero special para el comercio..muchos grupos no pueden identificarse con "stoner rock". hacen que los gusta: riffs

[@Jekkel.]

Great track. Epic video to go along with it. Thanks!

[@benspruce]

Rock of any kind is what is known as a moribund art form... this means that it's best days were right at the beginning (Led Zep and Sabs in this case) and evrything that follows it is watering down of the earlier sound... stilllllll... stoner rock is great, I kinda like that they wear their influences on their sleeves.

[@RedNathanAthay]

I remember watching this video in 2006 Thumbs up if your still watching it in 2011

[@afastingartist]

goddamn that bass is awesome!

[@zdengvox]

I love the "waung waung" sound

[@hyperluminalreality1]

Seems like them in their jam room, and that is the studio album version dubbed in. Not live, as the drummer indicates. A superb low budget video from 1993. They were like 21 years old here.

anyone who says they liked something before you did obviously feels they have to prove their coolness, which just makes them even less cool. and sad.

[@AmIonArock]

great band even though I miss you by 11 years

[@neur0pathy]

Wow... I came to this video while researching Laney amps (Green are killer amps too!) What are you all arguing about? Sure, Sleep sounds a bit like Sabbath, but to anyone who's really into this music, there are striking differences. In my mind, Warhorse had the best stoner/doom riffs... I'm more into death/doom, e.g. Autopsy, Coffins, Runemagick. Share the music and be happy.

Sleep a very good band also check out cough electric wizard
