      So true, even their worst album (4 Way Diablo for me) still has absolute bangers on it. In his prime there was no front man like Dave Wydorf, and even now he's kicking ass (saw them three weeks ago and it blew my damn mind and he spent the whole set sat on a stool!! HOw many metal front men could pull that off??)

      @@carltimms3994 I like 4 Way Diablo and God Says No a lot even though my fav album from them is 'the Spine of God'. Their worst album is that cover album they did a couple of years ago, but hey you can't win them all. MM played 2 songs off the Spine of God album this past weekend in Munich, Germany. It was Zodiac Lung and the Spine of God. They only played 1 song off the 'Powertrip' LP and it was Space Lord mutha F'ers!. Dave is old, in his mid 60s. He has health issues and that nasty motorcycle accident that he had a couple of years ago. Yep, he was sitting on a stool, It sucks getting old at which it will happen to all of us if we get to live that long in our short life! His hand gestures movement and his voice during that show in Munich still has a present in the World of Monster Magnet's music. I luv this band and music. Rock ON!

    I've been waiting for this show! Monster Magnet is an important and highly underrated band. Here is my list with a few comments. I don't think they have a weak album in their catalog. It's all great to me. I enjoy the lyric quotes. Dave's a one-of-a-kind writer.
    1. Dopes to Infinity- I'm with both of you on the strength of the top of this album, but I see it as a four-track run including All Friends and Kingdom Come, which I view as a psychedelic masterpiece. The "I'm just not quite right today" vocal at the end has appeared in my dreams.
    2. Powertrip- The title track is a great stick-it-to-the-man song. This album is crushing!
    3. Superjudge- very close to Powertrip.
    4. Spine of God
    5. Last Patrol- my favorite later-period album
    6. Monolithic Baby
    7. 25 Tab
    8. Four Way Diablo- there's some filler here, but the strong tracks hit me so hard.
    9. Mindfucker
    10. God Says No- There's something about the production of this album that disagrees with me.
    11. Mastermind- I never quite connected with this album, though I do love individual songs.

    Hi Pete & Jamie. Long time viewer, first time commentator.
    Really enjoyed the vid. Love Monster Magnet to death. Fortunate to see them live back in ’93 on the Superjudge tour in a small venue in Camden, London. Crazy loud. Dave Wyndorf spent most of the gig being physically propped up by the audience. In between songs he declared that “All I can see is a big fucking cyclops eye staring back at me.” Of course there was no cyclops in the room, but I have no doubt that Dave could see one. Great memories indeed.

    Great episode! Just like Pete, MM dropped off my radar for a bit, although Dopes always managed to get back into the rotation every once in a while over the years. Now after watching this, I want to go back and rediscover more of their music. I used to buy comics from Dave Wyndorf in the mid 80’s when he worked at small shop in the Red Bank Mini Mall. I would also see him at the local VFW comic shows in the area. He was always super nice and fun to chat with.

    11) Monolithic Baby!
    10) 4-Way Diablo

    6) Superjudge
    5) Spine of God
    4) Mastermind
    3) Tab
    2) Powertrip
    1) Dopes to Infinity ("Negasonic..." could play on a loop for 24 hours and I'd still want to hear it more)
    I really don't ever listen to my #11 & 12, but other than that I can put any of these on and have a great time.

    #3- Spine of God
    #2- Dopes to Infinity
    #1- Powertrip
    Dopes was my introduction to the band and was hooked. The only reason I I have Powertrip #1 over Dopes is Dopes just runs a little long at the end. Take off a song or 2 and it would probably be #1. Still could be to be honestly because there are some real kick ass songs on this. Like I said this is a hard ranking, no stinkers at all in this catalog. Great show

    I love Monster Magnet ever since I saw them on tv WDR by me in Germany back in 98'. Shortly there after I saw them live at the Nürburgring 3 day rock festival center stage when later on in the evening Metallica played to over 80,000 people. I seen them 6 other times over the years, my last time seeing them was this past Friday in Munich Germany. I originally came 15 mins south of them on the Jersey Shore. Back in then early 90s, my oldest brother played with Jim Baglino who later became the new bassist for Monster Magnet when Joe Calandra left the band. Kiss of the Scorpion, Baby. Great band and have all their albums, got a tattoo of the album cover, 'the Spine of God' on my shoulder. Prost aus Bayern! Rock ON!

    Fun band - there's a kinda music-biz bs vibe around Wyndorf (similar to Al Jourgensen or Perry Farrell), but you can tell he LOVES his 70s rock and he was very ahead of the curve w/ the tongue in cheek, retro-rockin' irony-tinged vibe.
    Dude wanted to be a rock star and managed it by Power Trip (which gets a bit too late 90s insincere irony-tinged for me to get behind). I really dig the records beforehand though. And the newer ones are pretty good. The man knows his craft.
    White Zombie next maybe?

    Monster Magnet is one of the bands I annoyed my wife with. She hadn't yet grasped just how much of an obsessive nerd I am. She'd gotten into them, got Dopes and Powertrip. Then I listened to them. And off I went, I got Spine, I got Superjudge, I read up on them (harder in the days before wiki), hooked on all his comic book ERB nerdiness, instantly I was a bigger fan of them that her. I always have to pick God Says No as my favorite. From that opening line on that album just talks to me. Thanks Jamie for getting Pete back into them so we could get this show. And no I didn't no Dystopia was a covers album. Pretty freaking covers album indeed.

    Two things I didn't hear mentioned:
    The self titled EP, which is more in line with Spine Of God and is in my opinion one of their strongest releases.
    God Says No had a different track list in Europe. It's been a long time since I heard it but I remember thinking they left off two of my favorite tracks for the US version.
    There is also a recent release called Test Patterns Vol 1 that is two early versions of the song "Tab".
    Spine Of God
    Dopes To Infinity
    Superjudge
    Tab ...25
    Powertrip
    God Says No
    Monolithic Baby
    The rest I would have to listen to again to rank.

    It's all great for me up to Monolithic Baby!, with a strong affinity to the 90's material. I think Dopes to Infinity is one of the greatest albums of the 90's and Powertrip, THE greatest ROCK album of the late 90's (97-99, not a great time for rock in general). I do really love that reimagining odds and sods of The Last Patrol, which they do in the early Monster Magnet style. Such a great band, they really should have gotten bigger than they did.

    Long time fan of the band here. My list:
    1. Dopes to Infinity (One of my all-time fav albums of any genre)
    2. Superjudge
    3. Spine of God
    4. Last Patrol
    4.5 Milking the Stars
    5. Mastermind
    5.5 Cobras and Fire
    6. Monolithic Baby
    7. Powertrip
    8. God Says No
    9. A Better Dystopia
    10. Tab... 25
    11. Mindfucker
    12. 4-Way Diablo
    I don't much care for the bottom two (though each has some standout cuts). Tab is just dumb fun, but you can;t really take it too seriously. The covers album is cool but I tend to shelve covers albums quickly, this was no different.

    Personally DTI is my favorite, SOG is second, PT third, and SJ fourth.
    Dopes is a very special album. It's one of those "it's always existed" pieces of art, iykwim.
    It's also one of the best, most meticulously produced rock albums ever, and imo, the best psychedelic rock record of all.

  • @hp585

    IMHO the first (self-titled) 27 minutes mini-album from 1990 would have deserved a honorable mention. It contains the band's first two singles Murder b/w Tractor and Lizard Johnny b/w Freakshop USA (released on two very short-lived labels) plus the original versions of Snake Dance and Nod Scene (!) from the 1989 cassette release "We're Stoned, What Are You Going To Do About It?" (both re-recorded for Spine Of God). It's not a real studio album of course, but prime material from the band's very early days and the direct forerunner of Spine Of God (including a somewhat abstract op-art version of the bull-god on the cover). The "Monster Magnet" Mini-LP was released on the German Glitterhouse label only (and being German I was fortunate enough to buy it it the same year, 1990) but is available on the Discogs market place or here on YT including full lyrics (omg) for most songs. If you're into the early MM space rock / Stooges / Kraut stuff you should definitely give it a listen: ua-cam.com/play/PL5A2FABE62071D999.html

    Same as Pete, I kinda lost track of them along the way. Gonna have to check out some of these that I've missed. Side note...I always assumed "There's No Way Out Of Here" was a Gilmour song (which I loved). So I went and listened to the original by Unicorn. It's a mid-tempo country folk ballad. Holy crap, it's amazing! Also MM version is terrific. Bottom line...it's a great freakin' song.

    Mindfucker is highly underrated. Hell, the band is highly underrated. Been listening to them since Superjudge. Did shots with Dave at the Peppermint Beach Club in Virginia Beach in 93 when they played with Paw and Raging Slab. Fast forward 10-15 years later to a Lunatic Luau in Va Beach and they played so early in the day that they stuck around and watched other bands. I bumped into Wyndorf and Mundell while watching Superjoint Ritual. Anselmo begs people to fuck each other up in the pit and Wyndorf looks at me and says “these motherfuckers are crazy”. Also told me they rarely play the states due to the fact they can’t make any money. They get paid well in Europe but not here. Sad

      Most underrated band of all time but I have a feeling if they got bigger they'd have adapted to be more mainstream (they did this with Powertrip and God Days No, although both killer albums). Not getting big has kept Dave trying new things and I wouldn't change that for anything. Besides they sound fucking awesome in a club, who needs arenas!

    Listening to "Mindfucker" it reminds me of the Canadian band The Headstones. A band to check out for those that don't know them. Another band more like the rest of MM's discography is Mos Generator, recently discovered them. Definitely worth checking out, been around over 20 years, but I only just heard 'em.

    Not that it matters, but as a long time MM fan & 68 year old hippie, I'll throw my 2 cents in. First off... "Powertrip" is one of my least favorite albums by the band. Way too over produced & commercial sounding for me. On the other hand, the next album, "God Says No" is one of my favorites. Whenever I'm having a bad day & I'm really pissed at the world, "Melt" cranked to the max always makes me feel things will be OK & soothes my soul. My favorite hands down though is "Dopes to Infinity". It's an absolute mind fucker! My other choices lean more towards the older psych stuff, although I really think the "redux" re-releases are pretty damn good as well & I like them much better than the original's. That's just my quick 2 cents.

    Not sure how anyone can have such a low opinion of God Says No. One of their best tracks is hands down All Shook Out. It's so dynamic, has an intro, middle, and last verse is like a climax: "I'm riding history with the back of my hand, just like your daddy did in viet name. I said Children of the Atom, let's get together and die!" Dave knows how to put together a song...

    Powertrip at #1 for me by a landslide. I don't think there's anything commercial sounding on that record. 10/10, one of the best albums of the 90s. #2 is Dopes, also love that one to death. Can't rank the rest, they are more or less equal to me. All good with some great songs here and there, but I think those two rise way above everything else.
