This comment confuses me because King Gizz isn’t a jam band really at all. Well, maybe I just haven’t investigated their live shows enough, but their studio albums are very un-jam band like, since a lot of them are concept albums that use leitmotifs and developing themes and stories across tracks and such.
I also don’t think it makes sense to tie jam bands inherently to hippy-ism, since it’s a pretty common approach practiced across several genres and subcultures.
That and the people I’ve known who are fans. And people who are online who are fans and how they talk about the band. Its either jam band or proggy wanky stuff. Either way im not interested and was making a broad generalization.
Ive liked when certain bands hafe had more than one person on percussion. 2 people with a full kit sounds like a bit much. Mostly I like when Neurosis does it as well as a few similar bands. There was a pretty sick mathcore band called The End where the singer had a giant floor tom that he’d also be bashing during more atmospheric bits and recently while doing an experimental noise show with a pal we put a bunch of different drums and sticks in the crowd and made feedback noise and people took turns in the crowd and it was really cool. But it’s not a selling point. The Melvins had 2 drummers for a while and I think theyre just ok
My stance against jam bands is absolute and this will not sway me.
someone around here with some fucking principles!
Hippies are reacrionary and jam bands are hippies

right, they’re more on the prog rock side of psych rock than jam band
I don’t listen to them
Okay, so were you just guessing from the name?

It’s closer to prog, but more rich kids on drugs prog than dumb music student prog
I don’t want either.
You said you liked when bands have multiple drummers, right? They used to have 2 a while ago.
