i love stoner metal, i just think it's turned into this trendy thing now and there's no quality control. it seems like every band that comes out with that sound now has an instant fanbase. i've felt that way ever since i heard red fang. one of my concert buddies is a stoner metal elitist and he flat out walked out when torche were playing because he hated them so much. it's not hard to see why. the lead guitarist thinks he's josh homme bad. i thought they were aight before i saw them live. they're little trendy fans left before c.o.c. played and there ended up being about 40 people left to see them. it sucked, especially considering they were the 4th best band out of 4. i'll still go to this show, but the idea that people will be leaving before a converge headlining set makes me facepalm
