Caretstik Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 A band I should've paid attention to over the years, my bad that I didn't. Never too late though. I saw Kevin Rutmanis playing with Tomahawk a few years ago (which might be heresy to the hardcore Melvins fan, I dunno), and he was tight as fuck. n.b. the track you posted was fucking great.

sidewinder Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I appreciate! But I didn't go to the show last Tuesday. I was too tired from having gone to another show the night before, and the work week was just getting started. I played the new one today, third spin. Some really solid stuff on there but it gets a little boring towards the end. Still I think I like it better than Nude With Boots. My favs are (A) Senile Animal, Houdini, Stoner Witch, Lysol, and The Maggot pretty much in that order (all 4 stars and up). I've heard a few others but not all.

modey Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 stoner witch is probably my favourite out of what i've heard (which isn't much, the only others i've listened to are houdini and pigs of the roman empire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Greg Reason Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Melvins are the stuff. I love most of their catalog although they do seem very intent on challenging their audience a lot of the time and seeing exactly how much people will put up with. But most of their albums are actually of a very high standard. I haven't gotten into the last few so much (they seemed to go on a bit of a Classic Rock bender) but I've heard that the very latest one is really good. Myself, I'm most into The Bootlicker, Pigs of the Roman Empire, Hostile Ambient Takeover, Stoner Witch, Electroretard and Stag. I've seen them live a bunch of times (seeing them back up Tool in 02 was particularly memorable for the hordes of dumbass Tool fans screaming abusive while they played one of the weirdest sets they could manage) I think my favourite gig of theirs was their slot at the Geek Show in Brisbane, they did this jam thing in the middle and kept losing tempo until they were playing the slowest thing I've ever heard. It was fucking epic and the crowd was amazingly respectful. I guess all the Tomahawk fans were at the bar at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fishtank Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I got to see them open for TOOL but I wasn't really into them untill after that show. I don't know what songs they played but I remember a lot of distortion and yelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Great band. I've seen them twice (once opening for Primus back in the day and once recently). However, listening to The Melvins makes me want to listen to High On Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Stoner Witch, Houdini, Prick and Bullhead are favs. Got a soft spot for the King Buzzo/Dale Crover/Joe Preston EPs they put out, even though they're not the greatest thing ever, they're fucking cool. and if you only ever listen to one Melvins song, make it this cover of Goin Blind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmX_7B8c-ww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've released something like forty records and he's on two of them? Don't stress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 the live houdini they released a few years ago doesnt get enough love. im a big fan of roman empire too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 They've influenced aspired so many great bands too: Boris, Mastodon, Eyehategod, and well, sludge metal in general. Love that they released an live album on 8-track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
