Having just found them in 2023 then this vid in 2024 I can't believe It took me all these years without hearing Uncle Acid!
Favourite track 13 Candles!
Man how did I just find this video? Uncle Acid is my absolute favourite band of the 2000’s to now. Love all their albums. Seen them live a bunch of times and even had the chance to hang with them twice after 2 shows in Toronto during the mind control tour and night creeper your. The singer, Kevin and his gf are incredible down to earth human beings.
My ranking for them... it’s a tough one, but here we go...
1: blood lust
2: the night creeper
3: wasteland
4: mins control
5: vol. 1
If you ever get the chance, go see them live. Such an incredible band. Kevin is a genius and it’s no wonder how big a following they have with little to no press or promotion.
Now this one I did NOT see coming.
Well done, P-squared; the last possible Ranking the Albums candidate I would've expected: Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. Talk about _catching me unaware._
I discovered Uncle Acid from the most unlikely source imaginable: my 61 year old father lol. He was in a local record store and heard the Blood Lust album on the stereo and asked the guy behind the counter who it was? He bought the album and swung by my house on the way home telling me " You gotta hear this! Its like Sabbath Beatles!"
Blood lust is still my favorite album of theirs, but i love Mind Control a lot too
I saw review of BLOOD LUST in Uncut magazine and i found it on YT,i liked it from the first minute. Great band, a little bit more diverse then other stoner bands
I saw them open for King Diamond back in 2019 and they crushed it. You wouldn't think there would be much crossover, but the crowd was yelling out requests during the whole set. You don't see that often.
I went for kind diamond with out hearing any of their music before and it was a trippy awesome show!
@@vaevictis_ I'd heard stuff here and there, but they didn't click with me. Seeing them live, I got it. They aren't a go-to band for me, but credit given where credit is due. They fucking rip.
Fantastic show! It was the last one I saw since the pandemic. Great pairing for that tour. King Diamond is a genius.
If you are into Uncle Acid I highly recommend Slaughter on First Avenue, a double live offering with a track list heavily laden with their best stuff. Worth checking out. This version of Ritual Knife turned it into a new favorite UA tune.
I love that they kept slight errors ie, coming in late transitioning from one rhythm to next, couple of wrong key changes, all fractions of a second then corrected. For me, it made me love them even more.
Whoa! this is the the last group i was expecting to see mentioned on this! I love Uncle Acid
Definitely agree with Blood Lust being their finest hour. I need a poster or a tee shirt of that album cover!
Saw them open for King Diamond before shows were stopped. Impresive act. These guys play intense. I had given them a listen before the show and wasn't impressed, but they gave a great show.
Wow, so glad you ranked Uncle Acid! They're definitely one my favorite "newer" metal bands. I got to see them at Psycho Las Vegas in 2019 and they were the highlight (for me) of the 4 days!
Incredible way to begin my 2021 music discoveries! Thanks Pete
Wow! This was a pleasant surprise. Thanks!
Blood Lust.
Mind Control.
Volume 1.
The Night Creeper.
Wasteland.
I discovered them when "Blood Lust" came out and saw them in 2014, just a fantastic show.
Caught the band on Ghosts UK tour in 2022 and they def got my attention. They took me back to when i was discovering rock music in the early 70s, great band and wouldn't hesititate to go and see them again...
Wow!! I will check this band out!! Thank you for mentioning them.🎼🎤🎸🎵🥁
im obsessed with this band right now
I discover this band I’m totally in love huge fan and a big inspiration for my music
Mind Control is my favorite.
I've been addicted to them ever since I heard 'Death's door' on a stoner comp, after I ate an edible lol. One hell of a trip. I absolutely adore Kevin's voice.
1. The Night Creeper
2. Blood Lust
3. Vol.1
4. Wasteland
5. Mind Control
5 Wasteland
4 Vol 1
3 Mind Control
2 Blood Lust
1 Night Creeper
Great love show as well
Saw them twice live over here in Germany. First Time 2016 in Dortmund where we shared a joint with the Bassist while he was playing :D very intense Shows!
for me they are a kind of - the Boy Band of Doom/Stoner. And that is not a negative point. The Songs are so catchy and the lyrics or better the style they singing the lyrics got this boy band flair - its not easy to discribe what i mean with this but that gives their songs this HIT Potential - if we would live in the 70s these songs could gettin repeat and repeat on the radio cause these are HITS - fantastic song writing and these "boy band" style
Incredible band. Just love uncle acid. My favorite is Blood Lust with Mind Control a close second. For me, Mind Control is that experimental album in their catalog. Great overview. Thanks.
I enjoy these guys a lot. There is an effect on their vocal though which I would like to see them change up a bit. As one said here, it does take a little getting used to. Otherwise, they’re one of the best doom bands out there, IMO.
Their videos are also great! They utilize old film footage extremely effectively. I’ve seen clips of them playing live where these images are rear projected behind them, which they don’t always do, but I love bands that utilize film, like Floyd. Some psychedelic bands have used film footage in conjunction with a liquid light show, which is just so cool.
I LOVE Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats! They are great live.
Never heard of these guys when I saw them open up for another band. They put on a really cool show! Loved it
I love Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats! Amazing band and I love all their albums and their 7 inch singles. I even have the Sharon Tate Experience x-mas split with Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovel. I can’t wait for more music from them.
Now review The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Strong Beatles, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson vibes. Sean Lennon sounds just like his dad. If you aren't familiar with them you will love them I think. Strong prog and psychedelic vibes.
I have The Night Creeper and I really dig it. It's their best. I think the production on some other albums is really thin, though. There's a cool band called Bloody Hammers. They are a throwback to 70s rock and horror movies. Their album covers look like posters to 70s horror movies. They have a new album coming out this week.
I agree. Blood Lust is a close 2nd but Night Creeper seems to be the most complete and cohesive album. Title track is killer as is Melody Lane and Pusher Man. But really addicted to Slow Death. Such a great vibe.
1) Mind Control
2) Blood Lust
3) Volume 1
4) The Night Creeper
5) Wasteland
How do find time to listen to all these bands?? It’s amazing. Never even heard of these guys. Gonna check em out
Love this band!
My list:
1. Blood Lust
2. Mind Control
3. Wasteland
4. The Night Creeper
5. Vol. 1
Great to see an article on this band! I was starting to tire of them a little but `Wasteland` rejuvenated my interest! I enjoy collecting them on vinyl. My worst to best if I may -
5.Mind Control
4.Vol 1.
3.The Night Creeper
2.Wasteland
1.Blood Lust
Pete, Happy New Year and Happy Birthday! You mentioned Doom so frequently in this vid, just curious..... Did you spin either Pallbearer or Sorcerer '20 releases last year? Dig them both a lot. Love to know your take.
I only heard a little of the Pallbearer...pretty good
I love Uncle Acid. I’ve seen them live a couple of times. I’d rank them almost exactly the same, except I’d swap Mind Control and Wasteland. Their covers are what caught my attention because they have an old horror imagery vibe to them. If they continued to put of the same stuff, and it continued to work, I’d be good with that.
Great band, chatted with them after a King Diamond show. I picked up their latest album.
Very Cool Band...These guys use all retro equipment. Amps, Instruments, Mixers, Soundboards, pedals, Even Chords on there Mics & Guitars Are from the 70"s. Often refereed to as " Sabbath meets the Beatles"...Very Cool
i would change Creeper with Mind Control. I know what you mean with critic on Creeper but Waiting for Blood and Melody Lane and Pusher man (this Hook ..... Love) are so much better than every song on mind control. Good List - Good man !!!
Great band. Seen them 3 times in Denmark. First time they supported Black Sabbath and two great club gigs. Thanks for ranking them!
Hiya Pete
I still haven't heard this band I remember first hearing them around 2011 about the same time I discovered Ghost and Graveyard, will definitely check them out. Being a big Budgie fan I am searching for a modern band with a Budgiesque vibe about them, I noticed you mentioned Uncle Acid being a style crossed with Black Sabbath/The Beatles and one of the reasons I love Budgie so much is they had that same light/shade about them.
Thanks Again :)
Nick
My list is actually same as yours. Saw then opening for Black Sabbath here in Helsinki.
Cheers from Finland, Petri
Great band Mind Control and Blood Lust the best lps for me. Looking forward to Ashbury tho.
I have 1 off their albums my friend Has been their bass player since 2018 they supported ghost !
Very cool band. Glad to see them getting some love.
this band is fantastic
Please consider checking out All Them Witches if you haven't. A great band from Nashville Tennessee. I just saw them and they were fantastic. I think you would enjoy it
I like the vocals, he reminds me of John Lennon a bit. Lennon singing for Sabbath... what’s not to love?
These guys are badass and right up my alley, thanks for spotlighting them! Very Sabbath yes, but they are actually really reminiscent of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, if you are familiar with them.
My favorite band from the last 10 years hands down. My ranking is similar with the top 3 being as close as possible to separate. However I disagree in that I feel Wasteland is quite a bit different from the others. A little bit of Vol. 1 sound is there with the organ/moog garage rock sound, plus there is also a bit of an early Iron Maiden influence not found on other records. Check out "Blood Runner" (not psychedelic doom Pete) and Shockwave City. Really captures that NWOBHM energy and sound. But yes, fantastic song titles on Blood Lust and each record is more than solid!
1. Blood Lust
2. Wasteland
3. Mind Control
4. Night Creeper
5. Vol. 1
Cool, thought I was the only one who listened to them. When I first discovered them online I thought they were some obscure '70s act.
Amazing band! I saw them in Bilbao, Spain👌
My Top:
1- blood lust
2- vol I (underrated album!)
3- mind control
4- wasteland
5- the night creeper
i saw them open for black sabbath in 2013. they are amazing live!
Just discovered this band in 2022
Not only is NIGHT CREEPER my favorite album of theirs, I think it nearly eclipses everything else they've done. Funny to see most people rank it at or near the bottom. But it's all opinions.
Thumbs up before i seen the list. Very hard for me to rank them : Maybe Blood Lust is THE album for me: from beginning to end a masterpiece BUT some Songs from the Creeper are soooooo goooood ....... AND i really like the Wasteland LP .... AND NOW ... the new One - the Soundtrack one - is a Masterpiece too. Hard to rank
Really good band, got to see them in 2015. They’re kind of like if Black Sabbath and The Beatles had a child. I do agree with you Pete, they need to do something a little bit different. It does seem like they have more potential, I think Kevin should challenge himself a little more and do something he might find uncomfortable. I told one of my friends that maybe they should just drop the whole low-if sound just to change it up.
1. Blood Lust
2. Wasteland
3. Mind Control
4. Night Creeper (the production was a little ridiculous, sometimes could barely here the drums)
5. Vol.1
I managed to watch this supported by Blood Ceremony was really good, been a fan for a while though
Have you done The Devil and the Almighty Blues yet? Great band from Norway I've only just discovered.
Wow, very cool band. Just started listening to Wasteland, and will definitely dig into their 5 albums. Do you like Orange Goblin or Rob Zombie?
Anything that reminds you of the OG Alice Cooper band first three albums is worth checking up on for me. Thank you, Pete
Speaking of Doom Metal are we going to have a ranking the albums of Candlemass?
at some point, yes.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Have you listened to Electric Wizard and Sleep?
Hello Pete do you like Black Mountain? I think they did a couple of great records. Thanks, have a nice day.
I've never heard them.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Just in case you can check them out here, thanks a lot.th-cam.com/video/cW3uFsyVTYA/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic band! Love their first two albums!
Heard about these guys on That Metal Show. Mind Control was a pick of the week.
I really want to like these guys more than I do. Pete said it himself, the albums are basically interchangeable. I listen to Blood Lust quite a bit but other than that I'm waiting for a change of pace.
Killer band! Ever heard of Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell? Similar to Uncle Acid. Check em out!! 🤘
Yes indeed!
Thanks I'm gonna check them out!
nice list. id put bloodlust at 3. move mind conrol to 2, and wasteland to 1. bloodlust got me to be a fan, but the later albums have a more sophisticated quality.
Try to get into them five to six years ago because a friend of mine dig them heavily. But at the time the occult bands with a sound between Sabbath and Coven was a bit overplayed. I should give it another spin. Looking forward to Overkill and Ashbury (or Southern Uriah Tull as I call them) and for sure the hudson valley squares!
Btw I am really looking forward to Ashbury! I love those guys. The debut is awesome
I got into these guys a couple of years ago. Really good band. My favorites are Mind Control and Volume1.
Throw us a curveball you say? You heard the awesome new one?
Great band. I'd rank these albums exactly as you did...
The first song I heard reminded me of YOB
Ooh a bit of doom on SOT!
Please rank the studio albums from Dr. Eyeball.
Check out Ancient Days
For me mind control is number one with blood lust at two.
I haven't listened to these guys mainly because their name is so dopey. Sounds like a jam band name. I'll check them out, though, since it seems right up my alley.
Any chance for a Imperial State Electric ranking? I haven't checked the playlists, but I don't remember you doing one yet. Also, I'm psyched for that Tubes show!
Thanks, Pete!
I think they took it from Rusty Day's band, Uncle Acid & The Permanent Damage Band. They were formed after he left Cactus and after he couldn't get the gigs in AC/DC after Bon Scott or for the newly formed Rossington-Collins Band. (Stories actually say that he turned down both gigs, but that seems far-fetched.)
Never heard of that band Brian.
I actually like the first one the best because it is raw but that's just my taste. I only have listened to the first 2 and think they are both great. I will have to check out the last 3. I got away from this band for some reason. Not really sure why
Great band. Do Clutch next.
Can't do it without Mr. Popoff.
@@jayfabe620 He called it "beard-pulling music"...lol.
@@independenceltd. Time to grow a beard
No vinyl?
Another show well done, Pete, convincing many of us to now track down an unknown band for listening. Per usual, stopped to listen to some tracks during the show and that always helps me know whether to keep. I must like 70s doom-stoner-psych music as the tracks sampled sound like something really enjoyable though your comment about similarity of sound and structure seems on spot. But still, music enjoyable for listening is just that - enjoyable. Thanks, Pete, once again for expanding the musical horizons for many of us.
I don't own anything by them, but I've seen them live twice. First time was as a co-headliner with Graveyard. The second, and the better of the two, was opening for King Diamond.
I dig the music, but the guy's vocals take some getting used to.
Ranked them exactly the same.
listened to this band pete, don't like the slow murky sound and i can't stand the singers voice, it's a NO from me
I love Uncle Acid. I’ve seen them live a couple of times. I’d rank them almost exactly the same, except I’d swap Mind Control and Wasteland. Their covers are what caught my attention because they have an old horror imagery vibe to them. If they continued to put out the same stuff, and it continued to work, I’d be good with that.
