Wolfmother

[Special Brew]

I just saw this band on TV, I think it was either Leno or Conan, but I forget. They immediately made me think of Led Zep, so I downloaded the album, and it's pretty friggin' good so far. I saw them mentioned a few times on Myspace, so I know they're decently popular. What do you guys think of them, and if you haven't heard them, at least check 'em out.

[G_Mac07]

Wolfmother are a really derivative band, but I enjoy them. They bring back that classic sound, and do it in a way that I find to be more appealing than bands such as Jet or The Darkness. I can't really explain why though.

Their album was just released in the USA a couple of days ago, and they are currently on tour there, so check them out. They are a really good live act.

[StreetlightRock]

Wehehehe, I got tickets! One of the more intresting acts to come out of Australia.

[Riva]

Yeah, finally us Aussies got the jump on the Yanks. Wolfmother is great, I've been a fan for a few months now. Much better than Jet.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

A non-Australian making a Wolfmother thread?!? Madness!

[RideTheSpiral]

Pretty good band. Mind's Eye was one of the best songs of last year.

[Jacaranda]

I'm seeing them at Sasquatch should be great, I hope. They seem like the type of band to really blow live.

[ThunderBass]

meh... personally i cant stand them... they are like Led Zep except really crap... id much rather listen to the real thing... saw them live at Big Day Out last year and they werent that great... not awful but nothing special either...

[Mr_Bounce]

I'm with ThunderBass.. I don't like their sound, doesn't appeal to me at all. Some parts of their songs are ok, but I would seriously dread listening to 2-3 songs in a row after having already heard the album.

[Special Brew]

They have alot of 'Zep sound, but still have something different about them. They're not exactly just some knockoff band, and of course they're going to be awful in comparison to them.

[gillygan]

I got them of the Daily Up a while ago, and they're awsome.

I don't see how they sound like Zep though...

[StreetlightRock]

The singers got a very Plant like sorta vibe. Also, I aint no drum person, but the drummer seems to pull alot of Bonham like fills here and there. 'twas my upload BTW =D

[G_Mac07]

'twas my upload BTW =D

T'was my upload before that though. :p

And for the record, Wolfmother put on a good live show.

[TID22]

Great band in my opinion. I almost picked up the cd at our cd store just a few hours ago, but I didn't have enough money with me. I really love Mindseye and I love the keys in it.

[StreetlightRock]

lol, The bassist/keybordist in my band said the keys in Mind's eye are a rediclous excuse for a keyboard part.

[Riva]

Yeah, they kinda shoehorned it in, really.

[Slapping Penguin]

They sound like a modern mix of Led Zep and Black Sabbath.

[Clunge]

The singers voice is very very very like Ozzy's was.

I love the album as a whole, Love Train and Dimension are the top tracks for me.

[Riva]

They were described to me as a mix of psychadelic rock and indie. Which is fairly apt, I think.

[BuckDharma]

They are ok, they sound like a combination of the white stripes and Sabbath to me, which is ok because i like both bands. the one thing that drives me nuts is that with such great influnces the lyrics blow. i mean zep sabbath and jack white all kickass at lyric writing, but some of wolfmothers lyrics are horible, its a real shame

[Cocaine]

They're pretty good, but I feel sorry for the weight they're now carrying on their shoulders.

One of the only buzz-bands I really like, but I still prefer Kyuss.

[zabbit82]

These guys are good. Mind's Eye is my favorite song by them. I think they're on Leno June 9th, a Friday night.

[GenuineImitation]

I think I'll check these guys out. Does anyong mind uploading it for the daily upload?

[MOP_Orion]

Yeah, top band saw em at the big day out in melbourne early 2005 then again at the forum last november, and as far as they go live... they kick extreme balls live, one of the best shows i've seen.

[G_Mac07]

There's a link still active from last time it was uploaded. What's you e-mail? I will fwd it to you.

[Leper]

I really like this band. I bought their album the other day and it's fantastic. Although, you can definitely tell which songs are more geared towards being singles, which annoys me a little. They definitely sound more like Sabbath than Zep to me as well.

I agree with CandC, in that I really feel sorry for them because of all the weight they're going to have to carry now. From what I hear they've really been hyped up by the media.

[W.M.A]

yeah i saw them at big day out in melb. Andy Stockdale was excellent. Thank God for them following Jet.

[Riva]

I think it's great that both the mainstream and those who are more passionate about their music both like the band. However, I think sooner or later the guys will have to disappoint one group.

[sgrevs]

The singers voice is very very very like Ozzy's was.

I love the album as a whole, Love Train and Dimension are the top tracks for me.

I'm pretty sure there's no song on the album called Love Train. In fact I'm certain there isn't. Unless its a special UK track, but definitely not here in Aus.

I must have missed the email they were originally in.

[Whats in a name?]

A really great Australian band. And also they are coming to Brisbane soon to play at the riverside theatre for 50 beans, dont know if im going yet because im spending around 101 to see pearl jam.

[G_Mac07]

I'll be at that show. I should pick my ticket up some time soon. I need cash.

GI, I sent you the album.

[GenuineImitation]

Thanks, but rapidshare doesnt work for me. Whats your AIM?

Nevermind, I bought the album. Its really good. I cant wait to see what they do next and hopefully I can catch them on tour.

[Rayne264]

ive heard their song "woman" a couple times and didnt really get into it. but i just heard it on the radio and for some reason im into it now. their lead singer does sound pretty close to robert plant, which i think is cool. it sure is good to hear this on muchmusic, rather than fall out boy or panic at the disco.

Well in Australia these guys are getting extensive airplay on the radio and it is really a relife to here a band like wolfmother over your nicklebacks, fallout boys, simple plans and good charolettes. Ok they may not be the most amazing thing to hit contempory radio, but i think we can all agree they are a damn good change.

[dustyboy316]

I downloaded their album. It seems to drag on in songs a lot.

The only osng that I really liked was the forest of gnomes, or w/e.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Wolfmother are quality, they're great live and really cool guys, I met them at their launch party in London. The album is awesome.

Lyically, I think they're quite good, not the best but satisfactory.

I agree about the lyrics, but I think they are slightly better than satisfacory in that department.

[Riva]

I still think the keyboard solos get a bit contrived at times. :p

[ChrisAdlerisGod]

I like the single "Women". These guys seem pretty good. Thhhey sound soooooooooooo much like Led Zep, which is a good thing.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I agree about the lyrics, but I think they are slightly better than satisfacory in that department.
I know, I was being modest. Their lyrics are pretty darn good. I used the word 'satisfactory' as a way of saying 'they do it for me'.

[ATM]

I think they are amazing. I got their s/t album and cant stop listening to it.

[Joe Satriani567]

Has anyone here have the Wolfmother album and is it any good cause me thinking of buying it soon :thumb:

[Clunge]

Tis good.

Go forth.

[Scuba_Steve]

did you read about them in Guitar One?


Just today I saw them in the current issue and I checked out their myspace. I wasn't that impressed.

[Leper]

It's a good album. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's so obvious which songs are more geared towards being singles. But other than that it's really good.

[Jacaranda]

The only thing I don't like about it is that it's so obvious which songs are more geared towards being singles.
I really don't see that at all I think the album is very solid overall. They are excellent live also.

[Leper]

I really don't see that at all I think the album is very solid overall. They are excellent live also.

Well, IMO "Woman", "Joker & the Theif" and "Love Train" are the pretty obvious singles on the album. They seem more light and catchy and more immediately accesible to a new listener. I agree though, overall, very solid album. I'd also really like to see them live.

[Clunge]

Dimension, Colossal and Love Train are my top tracks.

[ArtVandelay]

I heard a few songs (not sure which ones), and they seemed alright. To me, it sounds like there was something missing, but I'm not quite sure what. I'll have to hear more before I can form a solid opinion on them though.

[Leper]

My favourites are Dimension, Where Eagles Have Been, and Mind's Eye.

[Nannou]

I think they're pretty good. They're kind of like a modern day Deep Purple. Well that's what they remind me of, anyway. Most of the songs are good but after a while it kind of gets old and they all sound kind of alike. It should be a fair buy. I'd go for it.

[Cocaine]

They're good, but I prefer Kyuss. I said this exact thing in the original Wolfmother thread, which the threadstarter apparently couldnt be bothered to search for.

(it's here, and it's already 3 pages in)

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=465652

[Jacaranda]

Nah the Smiths are way better.

Well, IMO "Woman", "Joker & the Theif" and "Love Train" are the pretty obvious singles on the album.
The whole album is basically catchy and upbeat. Except like the last 3 songs.

[G_Mac07]

What's this Love Train song you guys are talking about? It's not on my album. It must be a US release thing or something. Anyway, can somebody send it my way?

gregbyers @gmail.com

[Cocaine]

I dont have it on my album either.

[Leper]

I would send it to you but my internet is too slow. You should hear some of it soon, as I've just recently seen a new Ipod commercial with "Love Train" as the theme song. Needless to say, these guys are getting really big really fast.

[YDload]

This band is terrible. They're sort of like Black Sabbath, but they have a couple of things Sabbath never had:

-a boring guitarist
-utterly dreadful lyrics

Plenty of bands have taken after Sabbath and Zeppelin without being so terrible at it (Soundgarden, Melvins, etc.). I mean, sure their singer is better than Ozzy, but who isn't?

[Leper]

Meh I like their lyrics. More-so in some songs than others obviously. Also I don't particularily listen to them for the guitarist so it doesn't really bother me.

[YDload]

She's a woman you know what i mean,
You better listen,listen to me,
She's gonna set you free oh oh yeah

Woman,
You know you,
Woman,
You gotta be,
Woman,
I've got to feeling alone,
When you're talking to me, you see right through me,
I've got to feeling alone

Oh yeah, those are brilliant lyrics! Look out Bob Dylan, your days as rock's poet laureate are numbered!

[Violent_Bill]

...Uh....huh....

[BJ_maddog]

I am not a fan of Wolfmother
They lack originality
When Woman came out as an EP before the album etc I thought they were alright but when the album was released I realised they were rehashing stuff that's been done to death
Mind's Eye sounds like The Real Thing (aussies'll probably only know what I'm talking about)
Let's see their followup album
I'm still waiting for Jet's groundbreaking second album

[YDload]

Haha yeah. The only time Jet ever breaks ground is to dig up Bon Scott's grave and piss on it.

[BJ_maddog]

Haha yeah. The only time Jet ever breaks ground is to dig up Bon Scott's grave and piss on it.
rofl

Jet and Wolfmother have become commercial radio roadkill.

[Leper]

Meh I like their lyrics. More-so in some songs than others obviously. Also I don't particularily listen to them for the guitarist so it doesn't really bother me.

And by that I was literally talking about Woman without saying it.

[AA-12]

/didn't read the thread

Is this a stoner rock band?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Not really.

[AA-12]

I see.

/lurks some more

[Apocalyptic Raids]

>_>

<_<

[Clunge]

The vocals are very very very early 70's Sabbath-esque.

I really like them, much better than Jet and kinda remind me of The Datsuns too.

[FUnkarockadrummer]

I rate them. They are quality live and Id prefer to see this sort of thing in the charts and getting popular than vast quantities of other music.

Their second album will be make or break though.

It is highly derivative music but alot of music is these days.

[qwerty__666]

I've seen them live twice, both at Big Day Outs. First time was 2005, they wernt as big back then, they played on a side stage, but i didnt know who else to see so i went and checked them out. I'm glad i did, they were very good. Second time was at the 2006 BDO, they had hit the big time then, everyone was into them and they played on the main stage, but I think they were **** that time. Now i just dont like them at all.

I like them alot to. There are better bands, but when it comes to mainstream music, I would rather have them topping the charts then 50 Cent and Jessica Simpson.

[guitrguy]

/didn't read the thread

According to Guitar One they are.

[GenuineImitation]

According to Guitar One they are.


I trust them more for the knowledge about the gutiar, not their genre classifications. They screw up genres alot.

[guitrguy]

Haha, I know.

I'm finally giving them a listen, and there is definitely a Sabbath influence.

[Riva]

I'd put them as a modern rock band with a bit of the psychadelia feel of late '70s classic rock acts.

[zabbit82]

Despite how much people are ripping on them for, I like these guys. I have the Austrailian release of thier self-titled and have been diggin that for the past few days.

These guys are prolly classified as a stoner rock band cuz they sing about witches, forests of gnomes, apple trees, etc. I'm sure you can kind of see where this is going.

[GnRguitarist]

I have the album. It's a good album. It's on my top 8 albums list. I like Joker and the Theif. However I think they need to do a guitar solo every now and then (I'm not feeling to few that they have on the CD). I'm listening to a song and I'm thinking "SOLO! SOLO! SOLO!" and no solo comes. At this point I get depressed and put in some country music. Country music is the music of pain.

[zabbit82]

That would be nice to hear Wolfmother throw in somemore solos to thier music. Thats the thing they need to completely sound just like Sabbath and Zeppelin, IMO.

[Cocaine]

They sound nothing like Zeppelin, IMO, and that's most definitely a good thing.

[Clunge]

Agreed, I can see no Zeppelin in them at all.

[Duman]

I think it's just the vocals that are similar.

[Clunge]

The vocals are the least Zeppelin'y bit I think.

They do strongly resemble Ozzy Osbournes vocals though.

[Duman]

They've just both got that whiney style, I suppose you could say like Ozzy too, but the music just doesn't remind me of them at all

[G_Mac07]

Some of the drumming reminds be a little of Bonham, except Bonham was far better at it. More so with the tone.

[Rattlehead]

cool band name. how long've they been about?

so they sound like zeppelin then? someone explain.

[zabbit82]

These guys are playing on Late Show with David Letterman tonight if you guys wanna see Wolfmother.

[pandoraa]

people are actually calling them Black Sabbath JR cause they sound more like BS than Led Zeppelin (cause Led Zep was of course better) and yeah friend went to concert said they screwed the intro in Joker & The Thief & White Unicorn sounded crap as!

[711]

I just got the CD today. It is great.

Its great how this band is bringing back the classic feel we really need now.

[Nic__]

Woman is their best song imho. I wish I could have gone and seen them in Thebarton though.

Hes got the ****test tone ever though

[pandoraa]

IMO Woman isnt there best song, far from it at that! the thing i dont like is that Wolfmother was much better before they got 'famous/known' now i dont like them as much

[G_Mac07]

Woman is one of my least favourite songs by them. It's such a boring song.

I've seen them a couple of times before, and although the crowds have gotten larger each time I've seen them, they haven't gotten worse. I should be seeing them again at the end of July, pending I have enough cash and tickets don't sell out before I do.

[Aus_rock_god]

meh... personally i cant stand them... they are like Led Zep except really crap... id much rather listen to the real thing... saw them live at Big Day Out last year and they werent that great... not awful but nothing special either...

Dude, most bands have a crap live set when they play at festivals. The pressure of having to rush their set or whatever always throws a band off.

[Clunge]

The people comparing them to Zeppelin have obviously never listened to either band.

All these music mags have just gone 'yeah, lets compare them to Zeppelin' and everyone just follows them like sheep.

Anyhoo, I agree in that Woman is one of the lowest points of the album, its a good song but its so sun-standard in comparison to the rest of the album, songs like Love Train, Colossal, Dimension and White Unicorn pee all over Woman.

Anyhoo, great band :D.

[espbassist]

I actually don't mind them. Apart from a pretty large following by doodleheads that listen to hip-hop, they bring tyhe classic sound back, in a better way than "The Darkness" or "Jet". Wolfmother are good quality Aussie rock.

[AA-12]

I just heard them. Amazing stuff, but not as good as the first Darkness album.

[zabbit82]

I don't really like the Darkness. I get the impression those guys are AC/DC crossed with Tenacious D.

Great music Wolfmother makes. I saw on Letterman last night that their album is also out on LP (too tired to watch them play). It'll make thier music sound even more classic, I would imagine.

[El_Goodo]

I'd listen to Jet and The Darkness...or at least the Darkness' first album over Wolfmother anyday. They sound like a Sabbath/Zeppelin cover band with Jack White on the vocals with his testicals just minorly squeezed. When you listen to Jet or The Darkness you think that some of their songs sound like The Beatles or AC/DC or whatever. But listening to Wolfmother one of my friends even said he though it was Zeppelin.

Jet doesn't even compare to Wolfmother, and Wolfmother sounds very little like Zeppelin.

[Clunge]

^^ Yup yup.

It's just magazines and the media have branded them as Zeppelin wannabees and now everyone seems to think its true.

Anyhoo, Colossal is amazing :cool:

[Activista anti-MTV]

They have alot of 'Zep sound, but still have something different about them. They're not exactly just some knockoff band, and of course they're going to be awful in comparison to them.


Yeah, you have to keep it in perspective. If you are gonna make comparisons do it with todays bands. Then you can appreciate them. This band has a bright future.

[Activista anti-MTV]

I just got the CD today. It is great.

Its great how this band is bringing back the classic feel we really need now.


AMEN.

[zabbit82]

They do justice to the 70's nostalgia music. They do what Jet and The Darkness couldn't do.

Colossal and Woman are amazing songs.

[6stringslinger]

Just heard the whole album.....i give it a 7 out of 10, not too bad.

Interesting to see what becomes of them.

[temporary]

Meh, a lot of guys I know hyped this to know end, so when I finally got around to hearing a few of their songs I was mighty dissapointed. From what I've heard, it just seems like an annoying re-hash of quality Zep, Purple, and Sabbath tunes (though I can imagine them putting on a quality show.)

[Activista anti-MTV]

I'm pretty sure there's no song on the album called Love Train. In fact I'm certain there isn't. Unless its a special UK track, but definitely not here in Aus.

This is interesting, because to me the only track aimed at the mainstream is Love Train. Maybe pressure from upper management got to them...:(

[sportsfan4427]

Love Train was on one of their earlier EPs
awesome song

[Activista anti-MTV]

The more I hear from Andrew Stockdale, the more I dislike Wolfmother. He says he doesn't listen to any Sabbath or Zeppelin. He said he plays an SG, but he doesn't use it in the studio. He just seems like a mini Axl.

[sjada]

I just downloaded some of their songs becuase of this thread. Amazing band.

[Riva]

Hehe, my friend who saw them at Big Day Out said Andrew was a bit of an arse.

[AdamGH]

Wolfmother's lead singer wishes he could even come close to sounding like Robert Plant and the rest of the band can't even hold a candle to Zeppelin's name.

As soon as I heard "Woman" I was like, "They are so obviously trying and failing to sound like Led Zeppelin."

[Riva]

Actually, I think it's more "They're so obviously deriving Led Zep's sound, but making good music regardless."

Besides, they're better than Jet or the Rogue Traders.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

And why exactly do you dislike him? Because he doesn't use the same guitar on stage as the studio?

[G_Mac07]

Hehe, my friend who saw them at Big Day Out said Andrew was a bit of an arse.

Which Big Day Out, and how so? I saw them at the Gold Coast and I thought they were rather good, considering they were playing to a pissed off crowd with a reduced set because the sound shorted itself out during Mudvaynes set, which Wolfmother followed.

I too would like an answer to this. I don't see and valid reason here for disliking him, or how he could be compared to Axl Rose.

Meh, I don't really like them much.

The Brisbane one, and apparently it was just his "showmanship" aura. This is hearsay, mind you, so take it with a grain of salt. My mate loves them, regardless.

[clown_phobia]

They've got a pretty big sound, but I don't think they're anything special. Their sound has been done before so many times, it's nothing new. They're nothing groundbreaking, so I don't think they'll last.

[Neoteric]

Woman is a pretty kickin' tune.

[Activista anti-MTV]

And why exactly do you dislike him? Because he doesn't use the same guitar on stage as the studio?

Now, I am drawing from a small pool of info, but I was under the impression when I first heard WM that they were just some fans trying to bring back the music they love. As it turns out they are not very big fans of Zep/Sab so it makes me wonder why they are doing it if the don't love it. Tell me if I am wrong.

[Riva]

I'd say that they are, but they're trying to get away from the Zep/Sabbath clone image that people are attributing to them.

[Against Miik!]

I'm going to see them in August. I probably wouldn't if they were the main attraction, but its like a festival gig, and they happen to be there, and i'm not complaining.

[Stoo]

Wolfmother's lead singer wishes he could even come close to sounding like Robert Plant and the rest of the band can't even hold a candle to Zeppelin's name.

E-mail them and say that. I'm sure they'll just give up on making music 'coz some tard like you is ignorant and won't accept that they are a really good band.

Or you could just shut the **** up until you get recognition for being a good musician... if you are one.

Anyway, I got the album, it's really good. I saw them at a festival here last weekend.

He's not ignorant for saying Wolfmother is a lousy band. That's his opinion. You're ignorant for falling back on the same old "I'd like to see you do better!" fallacy. That's the lamest excuse of all.

[Huber]

I read an interview with the frontman and he said he wasn't much of a Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath fan at all. He said the music sounds the way it does because he's listened to Indie music all his life, and he wanted to do something different, meaning writing riffs.

[rippa32]

I saw them live last night at the brisbane gig. It was my first concert and they put on one hell of a show. They even had a jam session, which is a nice relief from most other mainstream bands.

[G_Mac07]

I missed that show. :(

I wasn't planning on going to it, because I'm trying to save some cash, but by yesterday afternoon I was kicking myself.

[rippa32]

You really missed out, although the setlist was kinda short. Because they only have one album I thought they might have done some covers or something but the only extra was a B-Side and the jam.

[Special Brew]

Wow, I forgot about this thread. I listened to these guys for about a week, then got tired of them. They're real good, but not my usual tastes, just a passing interest.

[rippa32]

I can actually see where your coming from there, I personally love this band but I do actually totally understand what you mean.

[clown_phobia]

I think they could be a lot better if they had a better guitarist, all he seems to do is play simple power chords...

[rippa32]

If they had a better guitarist? Too bad hes the frontman and singer as well. And besides hes much better than just simple chords, hes quite good at lead guitar as well, he doesnt solo often but when he does its very good stuff.

[SugarCoatedSour]

I agree that they're a nothing band. And calling them a reincarnation of Zeppelin and Black Sabbath is spitting in the faces of those once-legendary-now-tired-and-old musicians. But they're entertaining to watch, especially considering that I can point out every transition point in their songs between Zep and BS.

Haha, :thumb:. It is true that they do sound a bit like them, but it apparently wasnt intentional and theyve been trying to fight that image people have imposed on them.

the singer reminds me of carrottop for some reason, but i like their sound.

I've only heard 'Woman' so far, but I really like it.

I saw them on Letterman, and the energy they had and the show they put on just blew me away. :thumb:

Woman is a great song. My favorite is probably White Unicorn though.


This band is really starting to grow on me. They are quickly becoming a favorite.

My favourite would probably be Colossal or Pyramid. But the whole album is very good.

Woman isnt my favorite, even though it rocks. I think my two favorites on the album are where eagles have been and mind's eye.
