Members gpaaib Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 In 1973 when the left over hippies were waking up with hangovers, Tony Iommi was there pounding their brains with the riff he was playing during the last half of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Members ElectricEye Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 How about John Sykes' guitar sound on both Whitesnake's self-titled 1987 album (i.e. "Still of the Night") or his first Blue Murder album? His Les Paul/Marshall sound could crumble mountain ranges, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Muddslide Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 Sabbath have certainly brought teh heavy brootal toans. There are quite a few Melvins tracks that sound pretty goddamned dense. Mudhoney's guitars on Superfuzzbigmuff are pretty massive. I also agree with Blue Cheer. Sonically {censored}ed. Stooges too. I'ma also mention Bardo Pond from Philadelphia. They are more of a psych/stonery/improv band, but they have a track called "Tommy Gun Angel" on their album Lapsed that sounds like you are inside a rocket booster while it's firing.

Members Muddslide Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm pretty sure that's the Iggy mix. I don't know if I've ever even heard the Bowie mix... The Bowie mix was the original one...the one guys my age grew up with. Iggy's remix was done sometime in the mid-late 90s I think. They both sound good to me, but I'll always go with Bowie's just because, again, it's what I grew up with. Story is that Iggy handed Bowie a tape for mixdown where he had dumped everything onto two tracks, so there was very little to work with anyway. Unfortunately, the bass and drums will always be pretty muddled and indistinct on Raw Power unless someone unearths the original multitracks of the recording (doubtful these even exist.) I maintain that people who don't know or dig The Stooges only THINK they know anything about rock and roll. Those three original Stooges albums are absolutely essential to the growth of rock.

Members swedenmike Posted November 13, 2009 Members Share Posted November 13, 2009 it does not get heavier than this xb36vrl06Ew&feature=related Iommi...from the record Fused which is probably one of the best albums ever, I never hear anyone talking about it...too bad. It's fukin heavy! The whole album just breaths heavyness. The end song, I go insane, is a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeverTheMachine Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 "Sky is Fallin" Qotsa .. does fuzz count? Sorry for resurrecting this thread.. I'm looking for production references on real heavy bass/guitar mixes, but I don't listen to much heavy music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 lol, I wasn't even born when that album came out It has been a favorite of mine since I discovered it about a year ago. I was looking for used vinyl records at my local thrift store when I saw the cover. It got my attention as I thought it was weird - didn't look much like a rock record but I bought it anyways (it was only 1$). Man was I lucky yes, great record! Not the heaviest ever, but what the Hell..................... 7JruuMkV0gM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUTH is in the ear. This is it right here. Remember this was in a time of real wuss ass music. To this day when I hear this it makes me want to annihilate {censored}!!!! So damn heavy... 3:17 in.. http://youtu.be/ReuBms-qZQk How about some High On Fire (Sabbath rip off)... Some Alice http://youtu.be/cx8LdO-0h8Y dated but heavy. The Melvins - - Sludge Tomahawk - http://youtu.be/Jt856_nRxQk Not the heaviest but damn heavy in it's own right Melt Banana - - Just crazy Sex Pistols - http://youtu.be/JQkActP-isE - Man this stuff is awesome/Steve Jones playing a Les Paul through a fender twin. WTF Black Flag - http://youtu.be/p0INqhcy2LI - Try and find the original. They became much sludgier and harder as time went on. Still heavy.

Members honeyiscool Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 You serious, you guys? I don't think that any recordings from the 60s truly captured the heft of a guitar's sound. They sounded good in their own way but it's never truly hostage taking, nail yankingly brutal guitar. Meanwhile, this is the kind of guitar sound that's so heavy I need oxygen after listening to it: [video=youtube;cixczzF0A10] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scuzzo Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 the opening chord to the who doing wont get fooled again back in the 1970's [video=youtube;vNgdkHNjfp8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNgdkHNjfp8&feature=related now there are songs that are helped with De tuned stuff and magic boxes of hyper distortion... but mho... it has never will never match the heavy sounds of the ox and pete and moon bashing it out for all its worth.... perhaps motor head runs second...

Members curseoftruth Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I love many of the bands mentioned, but still - the heaviest does not mean riff necessarily. The OP asks for heaviest uitar sound ever. Its not Sabbath or Electric Wizard, its probably is Celtic Frost. There are a lot of doom bands with super heavy tones, I don't have time to pull them all out and post them. [video=youtube;dW6RXTjm4iA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
