    How do they remember it? These long riffs take some serious memorisation, and you wouldn’t have thought stoners could manage it!

    I wasn’t aware Pike owned any shirts.

    at least this guys intro give the other guys time to chop up and change the bong water.



  10. Clyde G on July 10, 2019 at 5:28 pm

    Lol they only need to practice 5 minutes to get the gist of the song then just repeat for 3 hours.



  11. eyerock36 on July 10, 2019 at 5:30 pm

    Somnambulistic!



  12. John Stonebraker on July 10, 2019 at 5:30 pm

  15. Christopher Norris on July 10, 2019 at 5:33 pm

    That awkward moment when you’re waiting for your part to arrive.

  19. Paul Wolfe on July 10, 2019 at 5:34 pm

  20. Jeremy on July 10, 2019 at 5:36 pm

    I would like to hear sleep with orange and sunn heads. marshall is shite.



  21. Wolves on July 10, 2019 at 5:36 pm

    What kind of hell is this where I can’t hear Al’s bass



  22. Andrew Lofton on July 10, 2019 at 5:38 pm

    That Marshall is like my dog, it has no balls.



  23. Chris Hay on July 10, 2019 at 5:40 pm

    When your bass player has a bigger pedalboard than you



  24. luap ekcol on July 10, 2019 at 5:43 pm

    Hold that riff, just going to put my washing on…I’ll meet you at the intro in 10 mins



  25. Mark_o _1871 on July 10, 2019 at 5:44 pm

    yeeeeeeeeeesssss



  26. Bastian Kunu on July 10, 2019 at 5:46 pm

    I’m sorry, but fuck that drummer. Totally took me out of the vibe going in to the song AND he flubbed the intro tom build up. Let me drum for SLEEP! I got the feels like no one’s business.



  27. Roman Maryanovsky on July 10, 2019 at 5:47 pm

    i need more of this



  28. belzebong night on July 10, 2019 at 5:48 pm

  29. Ben on July 10, 2019 at 5:48 pm

    Walls made of weed



  30. The Uncouth Youth on July 10, 2019 at 5:49 pm

    Just doesn’t have the same effect without Chris Hakius’s hypnotic precision & reality-transcending groove.



  31. Yannick Messias on July 10, 2019 at 5:51 pm

    That moment you realize just how great Chris Hakius really is 😮



  32. Marcos Salustiano on July 10, 2019 at 5:52 pm

    Holy fuck, sleep’s drummer is the neurosis drummer, hahahaha.
    Only now i figure out this when i check on google.



  33. Ben Asslick on July 10, 2019 at 5:53 pm

    Matt with a shirt on???



  34. TheGinglymus on July 10, 2019 at 5:54 pm

    I honestly don’t understand what is good about this. Completely boring to me. Yes, you loved Black Sabbath as a kid. Get over it.



  35. Glabonon on July 10, 2019 at 5:54 pm

    Pretty much any non-guitarist,having to take a piss band member’s favorite intro in the world.I would NOT want to have to learn this song if I didn’t write it though.



  36. Brevillemonkey on July 10, 2019 at 5:55 pm

    Matt Pike with a shirt on? Fake video.



  37. Golden grillson on July 10, 2019 at 5:55 pm

    Maybe I have OCD cause that bAss drum off kilter is killing me…



  38. megadeaf on July 10, 2019 at 6:00 pm

  39. GhostNeck on July 10, 2019 at 6:01 pm

    Lungsmen unearth the creed of hashheesian!



  40. Bradford Moeller on July 10, 2019 at 6:02 pm

    anyone know the grey mystery pedal on Al’s board?



  41. 10-20 Project on July 10, 2019 at 6:07 pm

    Like the Intro



  42. Asbjørn Halsten on July 10, 2019 at 6:08 pm

    So do Al use a Ampeg Portaflex 500 or 800 as head/top in this clip?



  43. C0nnie on July 10, 2019 at 6:09 pm

    almost sounds like a different song on Marshall amps wtf



  44. Paul Benitez on July 10, 2019 at 6:10 pm

  48. luc gervais on July 10, 2019 at 6:17 pm

  49. Jared Caprio on July 10, 2019 at 6:18 pm

    *Insert joke about Matt wearing a shirt*



  50. lewis56405 on July 10, 2019 at 6:18 pm
