"Negasonic Teenage Warhead" was the song that finally got Monster Magnet through the door. It's the second track on Dopes to Infinity, their 1995 album for A&M, and it went out as the album's first single and became the band's first real hit, with modern rock radio and MTV both biting.
It was actually the first thing they cut after Superjudge, because a five-minute version was needed for the 1994 film S.F.W.; the album take was recorded at The Magic Shop in New York City. Dave Wyndorf wrote it and produced it with Steve Rosenthal, Alan Moulder joined the two of them on the mix, and the result is stoner rock cranked to rocket-launch volume.
