After digging through a hundred years of weed ash my memory tells me that my first album was from Soundgarden, man I used to love getting on my bicycle and riding to the record store!
First album I owned was given to me when I was about 5-6. My dad set up a stereo in me and my brothers room. It had an 8 track player in it . My dad gave us 2 cassettes. 1 was kansas. The other 1 was police. The first album I bought was a black sabbath cassette tape I bought with change at the local pharmacy. I was about 10 and I bought ir with change.
Hi from Spain. Love your stuff! The first album I bought was Alice In Chains “Dirt” in 1992. It discovered to me a new musical universe, but in 1993 I discovered Paradise Lost “Icon” which threw me into the pits of Doom/Death/Metal.
Hello from Kansas! My 1st album was Kiss, Rock and Roll Over in 1976(old dude alert, lol!) which led to Black Sabbath and a lifelong love for heavy music \m/
Prodigy, fat of the land was the first CD I bought at 7 years old. Prior to that, I had a record player in my room and inherited my parents sabbath, AC/DC and Hendrix records. First adolescent purchase that really started “the change” was Nevermind and then the rabbit hole of punk and metal opened up and swallowed me whole.
reminds me of how I was introduced to sabbath by my dad while driving to the gym (I just screwed around with friends while he worked out) cuz it played on the radio he told me about it and according to him I had a look of pure amazement on my face when the riff came in to Iron Man. Once it was over I said "Daddy I like Sabbath"...oh yeah I was 7.
First cassette - Purple Rain First musical influence - Doctor Who theme song from the late 70's. I remember being 4 years old and hearing that. I wondered how they made such an incredible sound. Watching your channel in North Carolina I really enjoy your videos. It is a great format. The way you approach explaining and demonstrating gear and the philosophy behind it is refreshing. Thank you. On a side note, I actually did not know this music that I've been listening to for years had a name or genre. I just know I love that sound. It used to be that you had to listen to local college radio or rummage through boxes at the record store or just be lucky enough that a friend knew of a good band. Thanks to channels like Stoned Meadow of Doom, I've been able to discover so many bands that would have been impossible otherwise. And thanks to your channel, I'm able to learn so much more about it. Keep doing what you're doing. It is greatly appreciated.
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality when I was 7 in 1977. My Aunt is 11 years older than me and gave me a stack of her records, and this is the first one. It had a lasting effect, clearly. Awesome channel!
The first album I had on vinyl was given to me I was about 7, and it was Chipmunk Punk by Alvin & The Chipmunks. First CD I bought for myself was a Black Sabbath compilation when I was about 12, along with a cassette of Meantime by Helmet.
Great stuff man. Stephen here from Newfoundland Canada. My uncle bought me GNR Appetite For Destruction when i was 9 years old. When my mom saw the artwork inside the cassette she took it from me for a few months, hahaha lol.
Hand-me-downs from my sisters...Kiss-Destroyer. Around '78. Im old ..lol. I remember taking a Kiss album in for show and tell in 2nd grade...so were talking '78-'79...and the teacher freaked. Saying it was bad and evil,ect...lol. Loved heavy music from the cradle...it was certainly an advantage having 3 older sisters in the 70s. All kinds of great classic music in the house. Great channel guys.
First bought was Number of the Beast on cassette. First vinyl was the day I bought both Live After Death & Master of Puppets. Reckon you could have some fun adding a looper pedal to the board.
Hello from the SF bay area! I'm an 80s kid, so my first tape was Huey Lewis - Sports lol. My first CD was Metallica's black album in '91 when I first saw the video for Enter Sandman on MTV. I remember being 11 and feeling like I'd get in trouble if my parents caught me enjoying the Metallica videos of the day. By 8th grade I was venturing towards death metal because the local high school station had mosh Monday. Carcass- Heartwork changed my musical mind forever. I like having a tremolo in my chain for both clean and distortion (set at mild depth). I think I would add that after your RE-20. Both amplitude and harmonic trem add some movement, especially when it's after reverb and delay. The reverb and delay trails (and dry signal unless wet/dry) are swirled by the harmonic trem :)
Such a great story Andy thanks for sharing! I thought I was the only one that was always afraid of getting caught watching metal music videos haha! Cheers Andy! Jason
@@FuzzlordEffects Happy to share Jason! Later on after college, my dad says to me, I'm not surprised you got into metal. You'd spend all afternoon sometimes listening to mom's old Beatles, Who and Iron Butterfly records with the headphones. I had totally forgotten :)
My lady watched The Box on Satellite here in 🇨🇦! My very first CD was the Batman Forever Soundtrack but the first actual album I got was Portrait Of An American Family by Marilyn Manson which I got for Easter of 97!
First of all: I love this channel! 💚 Second one: Hi from Italy and my very first album I listened and bought in middle school was Rage Against The Machine, one of my all time favorite albums. I liked the “Does it Doom?” pedal, sounds really solid and I’m curious to try it on my pedalboard! ✌️
Great to see some love for the BOSS Space Echo! The old DOD 250 or MXR Distortion+(basically the same circuit, I believe) are great into an already breaking-up Orange amp. For fuzz, I looooooove the Hoof fuzz from Earthquaker Devices. I'm from Oklahoma but live in North Carolina now. My first album was I believe KISS "Love Gun". Yes, I'm an old fart! LOL
Hey brother! Sweet sounds and thank you for the board demo. Great playing. San Francisco. Found an early Bob Marley tape and a Doors tape. Thought i was the only one who knew of them for years. Lol.
Bucks County, PA! The first cassettes I ever got were GNR "Use Your Illusion I & II"! Just wanted to say that I have now also moved my tuner pedal because I like this idea better than adding a noise gate. I'm considering moving my pog after gain. to be honest, I had never even considered trying that out to see how it sounds!
oh, and as for adding a pedal, I've been placing a Boss CE-2 before fuzz (only because the buffer isn't interfering in this particular case) and loving the sound of that
Watching from Corpus Christi, Texas. My first album was given to me by my aunt when I was 11. It was "We Sold Our Souls for Rock & Roll" I've never been the same since 😂
I was on 7th grade and went to a restaurant to breakfast, there was a band playing called Son Malora, they played latin folk and I bought their album, I would add to that pedalboard a big muff and a phaser or a univibe, that could do some really nice cleans
Arcata, CA....first album was Billy Idol "Vital Idol" on cassette tape (circa 1987-ish). White Wedding still does it for me. Most influential: Red Hot Chili Peppers "Mother's Milk". That was my first taste of non-pop, non-MTV music (before they became what they are now, of course).
I was in 4th grade and my dad got me Aerosmith’s greatest hits. We went to a music store in downtown Denver that’s now and h&m. I listened to that on repeat for so long.
Some sweeeeet riffin' there! Cheers from Vienna, Austria. My first two records: bought "Electric Ladyland" (Jimi Hendrix) 1973 at 12 ys old and "Phaedra" (by Tangerine Dream) 1974 at 13.
Cheers Eleni! Really cool to me people see these videos so far away from where I am. I haven't heard Phaedra before and will be sure to check that out! Thanks for watching and commenting. Jason
First record was Meat Puppets II. Thanks for this. My rig for stoner stuff I use a Flanger for modulation, and a Russian Muff for distortion. Other effects are my tuner and wah.
Little Richard, yo! And Back to the Future soundtrack. Stocking stuffers for Easter one year when we was tiny. My brother got the soundtrack for Stand By Me and Miami Vice. Woooo! FTW
@@FuzzlordEffects Not sure? Will have to look that up. He may have been. I know Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and Hendrix was fired by Little Richard. Lol
At 9 years old, my cousin gave me a cassette of Reign in Blood by Slayer. That was a life changing moment in my life. I knew my folks would hate it and take it away. Therefore, I loved it and it's still in daily rotation.
I love getting so much out of each and every video. The problem I've been facing lately are volume drops. I can play everything to my hearts' content, but at some point my amp just doesn't let any sound through. Seconds later, the sound slowly comes back. The first album I got as a young boy was The Poison by Bullet For My Valentine.
Greetings from Greece! Cool video! My first tape was back in 1987, I was 11 at the time, with motorhead, iron maiden, crimson glory, dokken, and other good stuff in it. The first cd I bought was Warrior Soul's Salutations from the ghetto nation album. Still a favourite! Cheers!
The first album I ever bought myself was Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit lol when I was in 8th grade. My first album I ever got was Shaggy's Hotshot on cassette hahaha. I'm from Virginia in the US. Loving this channel! Relatively new to the Stoner/Doom scene, but I'm loving it! Favorite pedal I heard was probably the fuzz. I need one like that! My favorite ambient pedal that I would add is the Matthew's Effects Technician. It's amazing!
I had a lot of LP's and cassettes as a kid. But the first one I bought with my own money was Alice In Chains - Facelift. First CD was Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger.
Holy shit dude same here except it was Smash (on CD) then Dookie (cassette) and I kept "stealing" my dad's Kill Em' All and Ride the Lightning and Aenima album too.
Phoenix Az, Metallica ride the lightning, fuzzlord fu-2. I want to buy a pedal so bad from you ! They are quality and fly off the shelf. Love your Chanel. I’ll keep watching and supporting.
Hey Jason, greetings from Rochester, NY. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, and love it. Since I'm an old guy, my "first record" was actually one of those "12 for a penny" deals from Columbia House Record Club in the late 70's. I don't remember everything I got, but 3 of them were the STARS WARS soundtrack, and ELO album, and THE BEST OF THE DOORS. I was a geeky pre-teen at the time. I wouldn't discover metal for a little while.
Hey from East Texas! Loving the FU-2 pedal. Might have to grab one in the near future. The first album I got as a teenager was Jane's Addiction's Nothing's Shocking. Still love that album.
Great video as always! My first album was The Best of Iron Butterfly. Such a cool band. My favorite pedal on the board was the Riff Master, and if I could have added one pedal, it would be an Orange Two-Stroke. Peace Jason!
Around 5/6 years old and my dad tries to scare me with Sabbath back in the early 80's during a thunderstorm by turning the lights off by playing the song Black Sabbath in stereo with the real storm, glass of Whiskey in his hand. Well needless to say he lost his album to me that night. Funny looking back as I had no idea what their songs were really about, apart from the cool scary stuff you enjoy as a kid. East London
That is such an awesome Story Rob! Same here witht he songs, listening as an adult it's wild how much stuff I missed as a kid. Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting. Jason
Well my first album was the master of reality from Black Sabbath when I was 12 year old and I’m at from Boyle Hieights California and I’m 57 and play all kinds of music on my stratocaster and ibanez RG600FMT with the new quantum creamatic humbucker’s
Gonna show my age, ha...So, when i was 7, my mom was ordering albums (actual vinyl back then) from Columbia House. This is when they used to mail huge sheets of stamp-like things of the album covers. You then licked and placed the ones you wanted on the order form...so, i snuck one in and got KISS - Rock n Roll Over...when it came in, mom was like, "what is this?", and i just said, "oh, that's mine"...i guess she was cool with it because I still have it to this day. I didn't really become a huge KISS fan like most, but it's still a cool first album. At any rate, please check out my band HYDRILLA and let me know if you think we have a doom or stoner vibe at all. Some have said yes, but...idk, because we cross polinate several styles and our vocalist is not a traditional doom/stoner type. hydrillaband.com or ua-cam.com/users/hydrillatx or facebook.com/hydrillaband and our music is also available at most digital platforms. Thanks
Watching from Newcastle, Australia. First album was Load - Metallica. Not sure what pedal I liked most but that dirty reverb sound you had going on was really nice.
Great to see more guys doing Doom/stoner stuff on YT! You've inspired me to make some doom content of my own. First album, "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" by Eskimo Joe. They're an Aussie indie rock band, only really knew the title track, but ended up loving the album. Eventually saw them live when i was about 15 and it was a very nostalgic evening. Cheers from Australia!
First own purchased. The downward spiral. Nin First album ever given was nevermind nirvana Some type of equalizer pedal or a wah for the mix with that octave pedal. Real wet. And that delay pedal I'm literally looking for now. Great channel. New sub
Indiana here. Jason your making me feel old!!! 1980, I was 8. My dad and I went to the record store so I could pick out some cassettes for my new boom box (remember those?) I got Led Zeppelin 4 and Pink Floyd “The Wall”. Nice board! Suggestion, if you add a phaser it has to go in front of the boost! They tend tend to give you a unwanted volume boost. I find putting it in front of everything helps level it out! Favorite pedal is the FU-2!! Pedal is so badass! Would add a Morley wah!
Hey Adam! Morely Wah would be a great addition. Will have too update this board for a future video. Don't feel old (: Sounds like you were just around for the coolest time in music!!!! Boom boxes were the coolest thing ever except for feeding them batteries haha. Cheers Adam! Jason
Watching from Athens, TN, sir. My uncle gave me KISS - Alive! and Destroyer when I was nine, so I was a bit younger than adolescent 😉, and I had been listening to his Sabbath albums ever since I was old enough to operate a record player.
My first album I got for myself was mr big I got it at a grocery store on a spinner rack I was able to get it because the cover wasn’t too gnarly they had ugly kid joe skid row etc on there too but moms let me get the mr big cassette I was in 3rd or 4th grade in 5th grade I got the black album and nevermind which were really popular then in the mid 90’s then later in junior high and high school a lot of punk and metal op ivy rancid minor threat nofx misfits with Danzig and Danzig FYP angry Samoans black flag sabbath with Ozzy and with dio More Metallica fugazi and it’s never stopped I’m 36 and constantly am listening to guitar based music love your channel and what your doing
Great video ! regarding the first album I got, it was AC/DC live album from 92, but it was not the double cd version. It was a single cd version, with only half the songs. I still listened to it a lot, and it definitely made me want to play music. I was 11 years old at that time, it was the first time I listened to something that was not coming from my father's collection (which was not bad, he had deep purple, led zeppelin, dire straits, pink floyd, the beatles...). (I'm from France btw)
Hello from Poland. My first album was a Pink Floyd... coverband album. Because those were apparently a thing, trying to disguise themselves as the real deal. Parents were buying me a walkman for my birthday, so they were focused on that and had a slight lapse of judgement when picking a tape to come with it. They quickly got me the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, which I would call my first _actual_ album, with the former being just a funny trivia to mention. I still have it somewhere at the bottom of a drawer or in some box.
So it was kind of a fake album?!? That is wild! That is so cool you still have the Yellow Submarine album. Thank you for watching and commenting! Jason
@@FuzzlordEffects Yeah. I don't remember the contents specifically, but I vaguely remember the cover being just a far-away live photo, so it was made to look like some live album or a compilation. The Pink Floyd name was written in big letters, with "Performed by [name of the coverband]" in smaller print below
My first album I got in like 6th or 7th grade it was some blues album and that's all I can remember about it and I've long lost that Google account. I think it was a few years ago I bought Rust in Peace by Megadeth although my taste have changed quite a bit sense then.
Sheffield UK, it was 1986 I was 11 and my first album was Number if the Beast. I was really digging the FU-2. I remember quite vividly choosing to buy the Hyper Metal (still have it) over the Hyper Fuzz as I was really into Thrash and it made my Marshall Valvestate 8080 sound like a Messa MKIIC. I kick myself now.......
I got my dad's Black Sabbath vol 4 at 13 and my first purchase was Black Flag My War and spammed side B... 30 years later l realized Doom was what I always loved, l just didn't know what it was called at the time.
As always Jason, great video demo! When I was much younger(cough,cough) and new nothing about pedals and orders, I think I lined them up according to..(wait for it)..color! I had a Peavey 4x10 amp, a Cort LP goldtop, tubescreamer and DOD flanger. I think i started buying Arion pedals(inexpensive)after that . I was chasing the ' Iommi sound' and loved that slow, heavy sound that oozed distortion. I've purchased and sold, traded so many guitars and pedals as my tastes and influences changed..ugh. And just when I thought I'd start playing through just an amp....I found your channel. You mad genius you! Anyway, my first vinyl LP was 'the Beatles', followed by Sabbath's 'We sold our souls..' which I had to keep hidden from the concerned ears of my parents( had to ease them in with Zep IV and Floyd's Darkside) Thanks for what you do! A fan from NC!
Thank you for watching and commenting Gary! Your color coded pedalboard made my day! I think in an upcoming video we will all have to talk about albums we had to hide because of the cover haha. Cheers man! Jason
I actually had such an unbelievably massive cd collection by age 18 that I have no idea what I would consider my first album. The first I remember buying for myself was Kill "em All on cassette. I distinctly remember sitting in the car with my father and listening to it after I bought it. Must have been some content evaluation on his part!
Oh no not the dreaded content evaluation haha!!!!! Just that cover alone was enough to keep it out of most kids hands which made it even cooler right??? Did Dad approve? Cheers, Jason
Houston, TX. Motley Crue - Shout at The Devil - Dual Fold Album from K-Mart in 1983, I would add a good old Phase 90. Sorry for double post just thought I would answer the questions.
Watching from Sydney! Great video. First record I bought was an old worn out copy of Houses of the Holy. Still have it, but it doesn't play well. Dig the board, would probably add some kind of nasty nasty high octave or a real choppy trem.
Liking the pedalboard! I'd love to have an EHX POG, that's a dream pedal for me haha. Picking up a Fortin Fuzz))) pedal soon though, excited for that. I'm watching from the UK and the first album I ever bought was Rust in Peace by Megadeth, that was when I was 16.
Phoenix Valley in Arizona, and first album was Guns&Roses Appetite For Destruction. I’d add a wah to the board but I don’t even have one in mine so... lol
This channel is going to take off at some point very soon. Great work, really love the content.
Thank you Scott! Going to keep these coming weekly.
Cheers,
Jason
@Eduardo Reginald Eh...
No.
After digging through a hundred years of weed ash my memory tells me that my first album was from Soundgarden, man I used to love getting on my bicycle and riding to the record store!

Switzerland, 1988 Savage Steel, Do or die. I was 9 years young and my start into a life full of metal. And i'm still in that mood. Keep going. Cheers
I haven't heard that album and going to look it up! Thanks for watching M!
Jason
Another great video, Jason! I’ve been playing the shit out of my FU-2! 🤘🏻🔊🐐
Thank you Steve! Your new Electric Funeral lesson is badass! Watched it 3 times yesterday. Look forward to your next video man!

Prodigy, fat of the land was the first CD I bought at 7 years old. Prior to that, I had a record player in my room and inherited my parents sabbath, AC/DC and Hendrix records.

The little blurb about the power supply was helpful. My first album was Weezer's Blue Album. Best childhood!
So glad that was helpful Christopher! Weezer's Blue, nice choice man!
Apparently my parents had a 70's compilation tape when I was a baby w/ Iron Man on it. My mom said I would scream every time it came on. I still do.
Hahahahaha that’s awesome!
reminds me of how I was introduced to sabbath by my dad while driving to the gym (I just screwed around with friends while he worked out) cuz it played on the radio he told me about it and according to him I had a look of pure amazement on my face when the riff came in to Iron Man. Once it was over I said "Daddy I like Sabbath"...oh yeah I was 7.
Great video, as always. My first album was Johnny Cash, not sure which record it was, but it was Cash so.........!!! He was heavy before heavy!!!
Thank you Chris! Johnny Cash was truly heavy before there was heavy!
Cheers,
Jason
First cassette - Purple Rain
First musical influence - Doctor Who theme song from the late 70's. I remember being 4 years old and hearing that. I wondered how they made such an incredible sound.

In a town between Atlanta and Athens, GA. At 8, I bought my first two 8-tracks, KISS’s Double Platinum and Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell.
Cheers! Have a cousin in Atlanta. Seems like a badass area. Great 1st albums and extra cool points for the 8 tracks!

1976. I was 10 years old. ( yeah, I’m old). I went to Kmart down the street in El Paso Texas and bought Deep Pure BURN for $6.00 from mowing lawns.
So much doom, it’s disgustingly beautiful 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Cheers!
Fuzzlord Effects likewise
Hails from Norrbotten, the Swedish equivalent to Alaska. First albums was Dookie and also Life On a Plate by Millencolin.
Too cool Rickard, we must be the same age yeah?
Cheers from Oregon!
My lady watched The Box on Satellite here in 🇨🇦! My very first CD was the Batman Forever Soundtrack but the first actual album I got was Portrait Of An American Family by Marilyn Manson which I got for Easter of 97!
The 90s were awesome!!!! The box and Marilyn Manson were probably two of the best things 🦇
Metallica's Ride the Lightning, great record that started a 25 year journey into metal.
badass album!
I really need the FU-2 in my life. My first album I got when I was a kid was Led Zeppelin II. I listened to that album so many times and still do.
I hope you can get one soon! Until then keep your eyes out for a Behringer SF300 (: Such a good album!
Jason
First of all: I love this channel! 💚
Second one: Hi from Italy and my very first album I listened and bought in middle school was Rage Against The Machine, one of my all time favorite albums.
I liked the “Does it Doom?” pedal, sounds really solid and I’m curious to try it on my pedalboard! ✌️
Cheers from Oregon and thanks for watching! Badass first album (:
Great to see some love for the BOSS Space Echo! The old DOD 250 or MXR Distortion+(basically the same circuit, I believe) are great into an already breaking-up Orange amp. For fuzz, I looooooove the Hoof fuzz from Earthquaker Devices. I'm from Oklahoma but live in North Carolina now. My first album was I believe KISS "Love Gun". Yes, I'm an old fart! LOL
Just means you were around to enjoy rock and live happily before iPhones ruined concerts! Cheers and thank you for taking the time to watch 🦇
UK - Bat Out Of Hell 2 by Meatloaf was the first album I bought. It was the first rock music I heard on TV and it started my journey.
Nice one Chris! Meatloaf is a total classic.
Jason
Great video as usual! Watching from Fort Worth, Texas. Got Dynasty album by Kiss when I was in third grade.
Thank you Brad! Cheers from Oregon! Kiss in 3rd grade had to be awesome. Have to hide that one from your parents?
Cheers,
Jason
Fuzzlord Effects They actually bought it for me.
My first album was Dressed to Kill by Kiss. I got it as a Christmas present.
what a great first album!
Hey brother! Sweet sounds and thank you for the board demo. Great playing. San Francisco. Found an early Bob Marley tape and a Doors tape. Thought i was the only one who knew of them for years. Lol.
Thank you so much Mike! That is one cool pair of tapes!
Cheers,

Bucks County, PA! The first cassettes I ever got were GNR "Use Your Illusion I & II"! Just wanted to say that I have now also moved my tuner pedal because I like this idea better than adding a noise gate. I'm considering moving my pog after gain. to be honest, I had never even considered trying that out to see how it sounds!
oh, and as for adding a pedal, I've been placing a Boss CE-2 before fuzz (only because the buffer isn't interfering in this particular case) and loving the sound of that
Glad you are trying out the tuner as a mute! Cheers
Watching from Corpus Christi, Texas. My first album was given to me by my aunt when I was 11. It was "We Sold Our Souls for Rock & Roll"
I've never been the same since 😂
And then your Aunt went down into the rock and roll hall of fame in my book!
Jason
I was on 7th grade and went to a restaurant to breakfast, there was a band playing called Son Malora, they played latin folk and I bought their album, I would add to that pedalboard a big muff and a phaser or a univibe, that could do some really nice cleans
That sounds like a really cool restaurant!
Arcata, CA....first album was Billy Idol "Vital Idol" on cassette tape (circa 1987-ish). White Wedding still does it for me. Most influential: Red Hot Chili Peppers "Mother's Milk". That was my first taste of non-pop, non-MTV music (before they became what they are now, of course).
Billy Idol.....best music videos ever!

I was in 4th grade and my dad got me Aerosmith’s greatest hits. We went to a music store in downtown Denver that’s now and h&m. I listened to that on repeat for so long.
My first album was Kansas, Leftoverature that had the song Carry on wayward son on it. I was 10 or 11. The guitar tone on that song still rocks!
Nice choice and totally awesome tone!
Jason
Some sweeeeet riffin' there! Cheers from Vienna, Austria.
My first two records: bought "Electric Ladyland" (Jimi Hendrix) 1973 at 12 ys old and "Phaedra" (by Tangerine Dream) 1974 at 13.
Cheers Eleni! Really cool to me people see these videos so far away from where I am. I haven't heard Phaedra before and will be sure to check that out! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Jason
First record was Meat Puppets II. Thanks for this. My rig for stoner stuff I use a Flanger for modulation, and a Russian Muff for distortion. Other effects are my tuner and wah.
Little Richard, yo! And Back to the Future soundtrack. Stocking stuffers for Easter one year when we was tiny. My brother got the soundtrack for Stand By Me and Miami Vice. Woooo! FTW
Little Richard the OG Rocker!!! Lemmy was a roadie for him yeah????? Cheers man thank you for watching!
Jason
@@FuzzlordEffects Not sure? Will have to look that up. He may have been. I know Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and Hendrix was fired by Little Richard. Lol
At 9 years old, my cousin gave me a cassette of Reign in Blood by Slayer. That was a life changing moment in my life. I knew my folks would hate it and take it away. Therefore, I loved it and it's still in daily rotation.
That is so badass Dave! Thanks for sharing and for watching 🦇
I love getting so much out of each and every video. The problem I've been facing lately are volume drops. I can play everything to my hearts' content, but at some point my amp just doesn't let any sound through. Seconds later, the sound slowly comes back.
The first album I got as a young boy was The Poison by Bullet For My Valentine.
Greetings from Greece! Cool video! My first tape was back in 1987, I was 11 at the time, with motorhead, iron maiden, crimson glory, dokken, and other good stuff in it. The first cd I bought was Warrior Soul's Salutations from the ghetto nation album. Still a favourite! Cheers!
So cool to me that these videos are getting seen so far away! Now that sounds like a good mixtape.
Cheers,
Jason
Sounds wicked
Thanks Park!
first anything I bought was sgt peppers by the beatles on 8-track. the first vinyl was court of the crimson king by king crimson
Such a great record!
Super helpful video. You’re the go-to guy for electronics with stoner and doom. Also diggin the orange tolex board
Also I’m watching from Utah! And my first album I got as a kid was the blue album by Weezer!
Thanks Cannon! Made that board last year I think and love it. May do a green one soon!
Cheers,
Jason
indiana. for Christmas when I was 10 I got my first cd player with AC/DC live, silver chair frog stomp and AIC sap.
Cheers from Oregon Jared! AC/DC live at 10 had to be awesome!
Cheers!
Jason
Frogstomp was my first album. Then Freakshow second. I was like 5 or 6 when frogstomp came out.
My first album I got on cd was Undertow by tool
Nice! Cheers and thanks for watching.
Jason
The first album I ever bought myself was Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit lol when I was in 8th grade. My first album I ever got was Shaggy's Hotshot on cassette hahaha. I'm from Virginia in the US. Loving this channel! Relatively new to the Stoner/Doom scene, but I'm loving it! Favorite pedal I heard was probably the fuzz. I need one like that! My favorite ambient pedal that I would add is the Matthew's Effects Technician. It's amazing!
I had a lot of LP's and cassettes as a kid. But the first one I bought with my own money was Alice In Chains - Facelift. First CD was Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger.
Such a good album!
Jason
Yeah man! It changed my life and musical direction forever!
My first album was Dookie too! Then Smash by Offspring... then I discovered Pantera 🤘
This is so rad! I found Metallica first, but pretty sure my mind exploded when I found Pantera haha!
Cheers,
Jason
Holy shit dude same here except it was Smash (on CD) then Dookie (cassette) and I kept "stealing" my dad's Kill Em' All and Ride the Lightning and Aenima album too.
Phoenix Az, Metallica ride the lightning, fuzzlord fu-2. I want to buy a pedal so bad from you ! They are quality and fly off the shelf. Love your Chanel. I’ll keep watching and supporting.
Thanks for watching Dustin!
Hey Jason, greetings from Rochester, NY. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, and love it. Since I'm an old guy, my "first record" was actually one of those "12 for a penny" deals from Columbia House Record Club in the late 70's. I don't remember everything I got, but 3 of them were the STARS WARS soundtrack, and ELO album, and THE BEST OF THE DOORS. I was a geeky pre-teen at the time. I wouldn't discover metal for a little while.
That is a cool trio of records even by today's standards/critics Rich! Thank you for watching/commenting!
Jason
Hey from East Texas! Loving the FU-2 pedal. Might have to grab one in the near future. The first album I got as a teenager was Jane's Addiction's Nothing's Shocking. Still love that album.
Glad you like it! Always liked hearing Janes Additiction on our local rock station as a teen (:
Cheers thank you for watching and commenting!
Jason
Great video as always! My first album was The Best of Iron Butterfly. Such a cool band. My favorite pedal on the board was the Riff Master, and if I could have added one pedal, it would be an Orange Two-Stroke. Peace Jason!
Such a cool band!!!!! Going to put them on now for ya here in the shop!
Cheers Sam,
Jason
Nice Monolord at the beginning!
Cheers thank you!
Around 5/6 years old and my dad tries to scare me with Sabbath back in the early 80's during a thunderstorm by turning the lights off by playing the song Black Sabbath in stereo with the real storm, glass of Whiskey in his hand. Well needless to say he lost his album to me that night. Funny looking back as I had no idea what their songs were really about, apart from the cool scary stuff you enjoy as a kid. East London
That is such an awesome Story Rob! Same here witht he songs, listening as an adult it's wild how much stuff I missed as a kid.
Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting.
Jason
I'm watching from Brazil, and the first rock album I've ever heard that made my mind is Live at Wembley, from Queen
Herbie Hancock Headhunters. The cover looked cool and it was only $3.00. I had never heard anything like it before. Thanks for the great videos!
Sounds like a rad album!!!
Well my first album was the master of reality from Black Sabbath when I was 12 year old and I’m at from Boyle Hieights California and I’m 57 and play all kinds of music on my stratocaster and ibanez RG600FMT with the new quantum creamatic humbucker’s
Very cool! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Gonna show my age, ha...So, when i was 7, my mom was ordering albums (actual vinyl back then) from Columbia House. This is when they used to mail huge sheets of stamp-like things of the album covers. You then licked and placed the ones you wanted on the order form...so, i snuck one in and got KISS - Rock n Roll Over...when it came in, mom was like, "what is this?", and i just said, "oh, that's mine"...i guess she was cool with it because I still have it to this day. I didn't really become a huge KISS fan like most, but it's still a cool first album. At any rate, please check out my band HYDRILLA and let me know if you think we have a doom or stoner vibe at all. Some have said yes, but...idk, because we cross polinate several styles and our vocalist is not a traditional doom/stoner type. hydrillaband.com or ua-cam.com/users/hydrillatx or facebook.com/hydrillaband and our music is also available at most digital platforms. Thanks
That is such a cool story! I remember when they were doing those for CDs and always wanted to try it out!
Cheers,
Jason
Watching from Newcastle, Australia. First album was Load - Metallica. Not sure what pedal I liked most but that dirty reverb sound you had going on was really nice.
Great to see more guys doing Doom/stoner stuff on YT! You've inspired me to make some doom content of my own. First album, "Black Fingernails, Red Wine" by Eskimo Joe. They're an Aussie indie rock band, only really knew the title track, but ended up loving the album. Eventually saw them live when i was about 15 and it was a very nostalgic evening. Cheers from Australia!
Glad to hear that Brendan! Hope to see you make some cool videos!
Cheers,
Jason
First own purchased. The downward spiral. Nin First album ever given was nevermind nirvana
Some type of equalizer pedal or a wah for the mix with that octave pedal. Real wet.
And that delay pedal I'm literally looking for now. Great channel. New sub
Very cool first album! Ah good idea on the EQ pedal that would be really nice addition.
Cheers and thank you for watching!
Jason
First album I got was Black Sabbath... Never say die on 8 track.. 1978 at the ripe old age of 13.
Greetings from NH
That is so cool! Cheers Anthony thank you for watching.
Jason
Indiana here. Jason your making me feel old!!! 1980, I was 8. My dad and I went to the record store so I could pick out some cassettes for my new boom box (remember those?) I got Led Zeppelin 4 and Pink Floyd “The Wall”. Nice board! Suggestion, if you add a phaser it has to go in front of the boost! They tend tend to give you a unwanted volume boost. I find putting it in front of everything helps level it out! Favorite pedal is the FU-2!! Pedal is so badass! Would add a Morley wah!
Hey Adam! Morely Wah would be a great addition. Will have too update this board for a future video. Don't feel old (: Sounds like you were just around for the coolest time in music!!!! Boom boxes were the coolest thing ever except for feeding them batteries haha.
Cheers Adam!
Jason
Watching from Athens, TN, sir. My uncle gave me KISS - Alive! and Destroyer when I was nine, so I was a bit younger than adolescent 😉, and I had been listening to his Sabbath albums ever since I was old enough to operate a record player.
Kiss and Sabbath created so many young metalheads! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Jason
I'm glad too see this channel keeps growing. Keep up the good content!
Thanks Sam! Going to keep these videos coming weekly.
Cheers,
Jason
My first album I got for myself was mr big I got it at a grocery store on a spinner rack I was able to get it because the cover wasn’t too gnarly they had ugly kid joe skid row etc on there too but moms let me get the mr big cassette I was in 3rd or 4th grade in 5th grade I got the black album and nevermind which were really popular then in the mid 90’s then later in junior high and high school a lot of punk and metal op ivy rancid minor threat nofx misfits with Danzig and Danzig FYP angry Samoans black flag sabbath with Ozzy and with dio More Metallica fugazi and it’s never stopped I’m 36 and constantly am listening to guitar based music love your channel and what your doing
Hey C! Those are all such cool early albums to get!!! Think I’m gonna turn on some Op Ivy now (: Cheers and thanks for watching!
Great video ! regarding the first album I got, it was AC/DC live album from 92, but it was not the double cd version. It was a single cd version, with only half the songs. I still listened to it a lot, and it definitely made me want to play music. I was 11 years old at that time, it was the first time I listened to something that was not coming from my father's collection (which was not bad, he had deep purple, led zeppelin, dire straits, pink floyd, the beatles...). (I'm from France btw)
Cheers from Oregon Mathieu! What a cool first album (:
Merci,
Jason
Hello from Poland. My first album was a Pink Floyd... coverband album. Because those were apparently a thing, trying to disguise themselves as the real deal. Parents were buying me a walkman for my birthday, so they were focused on that and had a slight lapse of judgement when picking a tape to come with it.
They quickly got me the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, which I would call my first _actual_ album, with the former being just a funny trivia to mention. I still have it somewhere at the bottom of a drawer or in some box.
So it was kind of a fake album?!? That is wild! That is so cool you still have the Yellow Submarine album.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Jason
@@FuzzlordEffects Yeah. I don't remember the contents specifically, but I vaguely remember the cover being just a far-away live photo, so it was made to look like some live album or a compilation. The Pink Floyd name was written in big letters, with "Performed by [name of the coverband]" in smaller print below
My first album I got in like 6th or 7th grade it was some blues album and that's all I can remember about it and I've long lost that Google account. I think it was a few years ago I bought Rust in Peace by Megadeth although my taste have changed quite a bit sense then.
Nice!
Watching from Tallinn, Estonia. First album ever was ac/cd - live(1992). Man, your content is inspiring! Keep up with the good work!
Sheffield UK, it was 1986 I was 11 and my first album was Number if the Beast. I was really digging the FU-2. I remember quite vividly choosing to buy the Hyper Metal (still have it) over the Hyper Fuzz as I was really into Thrash and it made my Marshall Valvestate 8080 sound like a Messa MKIIC. I kick myself now.......
Hyperfuzz sure wasn't popular when it came out! Cheers!
I'm from south Brazil, my first album was Psycho Circus by KISS and a copy of Nevermind from Nirvana
Cheers Juliano!
Hanoi Rocks: two steps from the move. Got it from my father
Nice!
I got my dad's Black Sabbath vol 4 at 13 and my first purchase was Black Flag My War and spammed side B... 30 years later l realized Doom was what I always loved, l just didn't know what it was called at the time.
As always Jason, great video demo! When I was much younger(cough,cough) and new nothing about pedals and orders, I think I lined them up according to..(wait for it)..color! I had a Peavey 4x10 amp, a Cort LP goldtop, tubescreamer and DOD flanger. I think i started buying Arion pedals(inexpensive)after that . I was chasing the ' Iommi sound' and loved that slow, heavy sound that oozed distortion. I've purchased and sold, traded so many guitars and pedals as my tastes and influences changed..ugh. And just when I thought I'd start playing through just an amp....I found your channel. You mad genius you! Anyway, my first vinyl LP was 'the Beatles', followed by Sabbath's 'We sold our souls..' which I had to keep hidden from the concerned ears of my parents( had to ease them in with Zep IV and Floyd's Darkside) Thanks for what you do! A fan from NC!
Thank you for watching and commenting Gary! Your color coded pedalboard made my day! I think in an upcoming video we will all have to talk about albums we had to hide because of the cover haha.
Cheers man!
Jason
I actually had such an unbelievably massive cd collection by age 18 that I have no idea what I would consider my first album. The first I remember buying for myself was Kill "em All on cassette. I distinctly remember sitting in the car with my father and listening to it after I bought it. Must have been some content evaluation on his part!
Oh no not the dreaded content evaluation haha!!!!! Just that cover alone was enough to keep it out of most kids hands which made it even cooler right??? Did Dad approve?
Cheers,
Jason
small mountain town in Australia!
i’m pretty sure my first album was Undertow, 3 or 4 years ago
Nice!
Watching from SC as usual, I'm old my first was Kiss Destroyer on cassette tape.
Dope channel 🖤 and my first album was "Them" From King Diamond. Great work my friend soon I want to order one of those Truckers and a FuzZ Pedal🖤
Badass album!!!!! Cheers Justin!
Watching from Auckland New Zealand, first album I got was Slipknot, Slipknot. Tastes have since changed aha.
Hahhaha totally! How cool is it that they still are making music after all of this time!?!
Cheers,
Jason
There Is Nothing Left To Lose by Foo Fighters. I love that album still
Cheers!
Switzerland- My first album was "ballbreaker" by ac/dc. I got it for christmass from my uncle when i was 6 years old
So cool people see these videos so far from where I am at! Cheers O F, what a cool first album!
Michigan. Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door and the Beatles white album. Those were the ones from my dad's collection that I played over and over...
Such good choices! Did you just pick based on the cover??
Jason
Houston, TX. Motley Crue - Shout at The Devil - Dual Fold Album from K-Mart in 1983, I would add a good old Phase 90. Sorry for double post just thought I would answer the questions.
Have one on the shelf! I'll add it in on a future video.
Cheers and thanks for watching,
Jason
As always thank you for another great informative video.
Of course thanks for watching!
First album: Motörhead Ace of spades
I’m really digging the FU-2 and the amp sim/IR box has me reevaluating my board. Cool vid.
Hi Andy, I think you get the award for coolest 1st album ever. The amp sim is really cool for recording.
Cheers,
Jason
Thanks! Short story my grandfather bought it for me, and encouraged my music, the stuff like your videos keep that fire going
Quicksilver Messenger Service. When everyone else was into playing Smoke On The Water, I was figuring out Pride Of Man.
Watching from Sydney! Great video. First record I bought was an old worn out copy of Houses of the Holy. Still have it, but it doesn't play well. Dig the board, would probably add some kind of nasty nasty high octave or a real choppy trem.
Mabe a Foxx Tone Machine would be a cool addition!
i'm from NY
i'm older than dirt , so my first album was Hendrix in the early 70's and sabbath paranoid 👊😎
If I can have one of this pedals, for sure it will be FU-2
Thanks for watching and sharing! Cheers!
Liking the pedalboard! I'd love to have an EHX POG, that's a dream pedal for me haha. Picking up a Fortin Fuzz))) pedal soon though, excited for that. I'm watching from the UK and the first album I ever bought was Rust in Peace by Megadeth, that was when I was 16.
Very cool and great first album cheers!
My first album was a cassette from Iron Maiden, best of the beast.. I'm from Brazil 😁
Gracias por vernos! What a cool first album!
Cheers,
Jason
Idk if it counts as an album but I remember getting my first CD on my birthday one year was AC/DC live. I listened to that thing religiously!
Totally counts and what a great first album!
Jason
Phoenix Valley in Arizona, and first album was Guns&Roses Appetite For Destruction. I’d add a wah to the board but I don’t even have one in mine so... lol
Cheers!
Montana. First album I purchased with my own money was AC/DC Thunderstruck in junior high.
Thunderstick! Now that is a cool choice for junior high. Cheers from Oregon.
Jason
New Orleans! First album that was given to me was Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream. Some really great guitars on that album. Keep up the awesome work!
