I went to a concert in New York City where I live. It was a heavy metal band called Monster Magnet. They were heavy, boy. The singer had no shirt on and leather pants and he was playing like a flying V guitar. And he stood on the monitor and he yells to the crowd, he said "How many of you people feel like human beings tonight?" and then he said "How many of you people feel like animals?"

And the thing is everyone cheered after the animals part. But I cheered after the human beings part because I did not know there was a second part to the question. I said, "Yes, I do feel like a human. I do not feel like a tree." - Mitch Hedberg

Dopes to Infinity and Spine of God are stoner metal bangers, JIC anyone here isn't familiar with their stuff from before Powertrip.

I've also liked that their later stuff walks a line between glam & sludge metal.

Monster Magnet is amazing. I love this song so much but also holy shit the rest of their catalog isn't exactly like this song. Definitely a single. Go deep dive on them and have fun.
