Melvins

[Harry Seaward]

I've heard a lot about them, but never really looked into it. Well, they know how to gain fans. They released a free EP so I checked it out. Pretty damn good.

Any fans here?

You can get the EP here.

[Maximilian]

Ha! I got that link from another forum and I'm listening to it right now. I'm not a die-hard Melvins fan, but I've always checked them out throughout the years. This is as solid as anything I've heard from them. One of these days I'm going to get around to filling in all the blanks.....

[aggroculture]

Huge huge Melvins fan over the years...but I don't like their recent stuff much, in fact I haven't loved a Melvins album in about a decade. Ever since they incorporated Big Business into the band I've found their music dull and formulaic. That's why I'm holding some hope for the Melvins Lite CD without them.
But Stoner Witch, Stag, Houdini, Ozma, The Bootlicker and Singles 1-12=all excellent.

[Madmya]

I love Melvins! They just play whatever they fucking want and I love that. From their collaboration with Big Business to everything else, love it.

Hey Harry, if you dig the EP and are keen for some more Melvins, check out (A) Senile Animal. It's more similar to the EP than their old stuff. If you dig it too then I know you'll eventually find their old shit which is also awesome. Here's the first song from that album:

New song is shit-hot.

Melvins Lite rules.

King Buzzo also rules.

[aggroculture]

I like that new song. Reminds me of Revolve.
I've got a good feeling about this album: the absence of Big Business gets me excited.

Revolve rocks. They haven't aged well.

Big Business dudes rock. How can you not like this?

[Jan]

That is the craziest and coolest thing ever! Absolutley going to catch the Hollywood show! Love the new cd.

[theimage13]

As a touring audio tech, all I can say is...I hope any crew they're taking with them is being well compensated. Don't get me wrong, the travel is one of the things that I love about my job...but that kind of work schedule can really fuck with you both physically and mentally.

Best of luck to everyone involved. Wish I could catch one of those shows!

[otnavuskire]

I'm planning on hitting the Vermont and Massachusetts shows.

[Madmya]

More new music from Melvins this year?!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMHGScrP7F4

Love it!

Edit: Should probably have mentioned that it's a different lineup (again), with original drummer Mike Dillard playing drums (hence the name of the EP 1983) and Dale playing Bass. At least I'm assuming the name of the EP is 1983.

[dlb]

I really like what these guys are putting out right now. the bride screamed murder got me back into the Melvins' sound and freak puke was awesome. This sounds just as good.

Shame I never managed to see them live. And they're coming here every year basically...

[otnavuskire]

Anyone been to any of the 51 in 51 shows yet? I'm headed to the one in Vermont tonight and the one in Massachusetts on Monday!

[spiralout]

I'll be at the final show in hawaii!

[aggroculture]

Going to see them on Thursday. They better be better than the last couple of Melvins shows I've seen: I am really hoping - now that Big Business are not in the band - that the Melvins can show a little of their former greatness. Last several times I've seen them in recent years they were totally phoning it in: Buzz Osborne looked bored out of his skull, and they were so boring.

[otnavuskire]

Big Business is not in the band right now, and Trevor Dunn is their bassist. Here's some pictures I took at last night's show. I was right up front against the stage.

Last several times I've seen them in recent years they were totally phoning it in: Buzz Osborne looked bored out of his skull, and they were so boring.

You got to be kidding me. I don't know if you saw them play Hung Bunny/Roman Dog Bird with the two drummers set up. It was insanity, and Coady Williams is one hell of a drummer, I don't know what you're talking about here. And Buzz looking bored out of his skull? Well, Buzz is not Aaron North. He usually stands there, moves around a little, and plays the songs.

By the way, the new lineup with Trevor Dunn is great. The Houdini songs sound great with the upright bass.

[otnavuskire]

Saw them Friday in Vermont and last night in Boston. Both great shows, although I enjoyed Vermont more. Surprisingly the Boston crowd was a lot tamer than the Vermont crowd. And I was much closer in Vermont, right against the stage. I was one very tall person back in Boston, and there was also a guardrail between the crowd and the stage, which they didn't have in Vermont.

[aggroculture]

Melvins were good. Without Lame Business they are freed up to be Melvins again. Trevor Dunn was fun to watch.
But Tweak Bird blew them off the stage.

[Madmya]

Awesome.!!!!

[dlb]

I'm in! That sounds absolutely great!

Too bad they didn't get Patton to do "in every dream home a heartache", though.

[caca]

Sweet! I've been listening to a shit-ton of Melvins the past couple of weeks. They're one of those rare bands that I think actually get better with age. Their output over the last decade or so has been pretty damn solid.

[aggroculture]

Awesome. I enjoy some of their covers, especially the ones that are a little catchier than their own material, but played in that manic Melvins style: Candy-O and Goin Blind are two faves.

Been listening to a lot of Melvins lately, and appreciating in particular their mellow/ambient tracks. I really need to make a playlist of all their best mellow songs.

Here's what I'd love Melvins to do next: a rap metal record. But they never will...

[Madmya]

[fortysixand2]

King Buzzo and Big Business in the same month?! Fuck yes, indeed!

[cahernandez]

Another amazing quote by Buzz. He should write a book. Even though I like Tool and I think they should take their time when it comes to the new album, I cannot help but think of them when I read this bit (from this interview: http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/buzz_osborne_of_the_melvins/)

Songfacts: With the [Rolling] Stones, I wonder if their drug use helped fuel that album.

Buzz: I never think that creativity comes from an outside source. I always think it comes from within. In my life and my experience and certainly my experience with other musicians, I've only seen drug abuse and alcohol as a hindrance, not a help. If those guys were good, they were good before they were addicted to drugs.

A lot of it comes down to, and I'm sure you know this, just instinctively, musicians are lazy. They are some of the laziest people in the world. You'll find guys that are multi millionaire musicians who don't work 60 days a year. I don't understand any of that. Seems like millionaires should work harder than anybody else, since they have the time to do it. "Now, I want to do something else." Well, generally, that revolves around video games, getting hammered or chasing tail at some strip joint. Who cares. You want to be an innovator and you want to earn real wealth and respect, it takes more than 40 a week to do that. That's always been the way I look at it.

[aggroculture]

Saw the show and it's the best Buzzo show I have seen in years.
Buzzo was actually engaging with the crowd as opposed to standing behind a wall of po-faced noise.
He was telling anecdotes and putting himself out there. It was so refreshing.
Now I am eager to get Tres Cabrones and the covers album.
For too long I have been disappointed by Melvins and I want that to change now.

[Madmya]

Gave Hew Time a listen today. For those that don't know, it's an album by Dale Crover, Coady Willis and Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse drummer). It's an album entirely made up of percussion, no vocals, and I dig it. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone though, but it's nice.

[cahernandez]

I went to the Bellingham stop of his solo tour. It was SUCH a great show, to hear Melvins songs in an acoustic fashion, they translated super well. Plus Buzz was a lot more talkative than at Melvins shows. He told the following story about the Iggy Pop (this is from memory and won't be as funny as when Buzz told it but I'll do my best): before one of the songs Buzz said "later on do you want to hear a completely pointless and maybe funny story?" and the crowd said "yeeees". About two songs later Buzz asked the crowd "do you want to hear the completely pointless story?" and then Buzz decided to talk a little bit about the Stooges and specifically Iggy Pop, who he said was a hero to him. He mentioned that he likes pretty much everything that Iggy does, not just the Stooges but all his solo work too. He then mentioned how a while back, before the Stooges reformed that Fantomas played at a festival in Europe with Iggy's band at the time, and that Fantomas were on a smaller stage, and after they finished their set everyone rushed over to the bigger stage to see Iggy and his band play. Well at whatever festival this was before Iggy went on the band Weezer was playing, which the audience apparently was appreciating quite a bit, and Buzz said that next to him, on one side of the stage he could see Iggy standing there, looking pissed (he made a face at this point and you could tell it was the not happy face, picture Buzz doing an intense frown). Buzz wanted so badly to say hello to Iggy but refrained from doing so, he didn't want to look like a fanboy. So Weezer finished their set and the roadies set everything up, and a short amount of time later Iggy comes out with his band. They play for maybe 20 minutes, which according to Buzz it sounds real good. During a pause in between songs Iggy says to the crowd "So how did you like Weezer?", to which the crowd cheers (Buzz did a typical hipster festival crowd cheer here). Iggy then says, "You know what I think about them? FUCK THAT SHIT!!!", slams the microphone down then storms off the stage and goes and yells at his road manager for making him play the show. Iggy's band is left there onstage and they don't know what to do, show's over. Buzz then said that the reason that Iggy is a hero to him is that he wouldn't play for an audience that liked Weezer. So that's the Iggy story.

Then before the show was over he said that he discussed with his wife about which stories to tell in this tour, since it was an acoustic tour he considered opening up and telling stories, like some artists do in solo tours like these. Mackie recommended him to tell the story about him getting beat up by two women in Philadelphia, and he said "no, I won't tell that one". Then Mackie asked him "why don't you tell 'em about the time you went to jail?" and Buzz said "no, not that one". Buzz mentioned another story that he was not going to tell but I can't recall what was it about.

This morning I googled "Weezer Iggy Pop and Fantomas" and I think Buzz was talking about the 2001 Hurricane Festival in Germany, that one had the three bands in the lineup.

[armogi]

He pretty much tells the same story at each stop, too bad because he probably has seen a bunch of crazy stuff. Awesome show though, very interesting to hear the melvins stuff that way.

[aggroculture]

"But I like Weezer" (comment of a dude next to me after that story).

Buzzo doesn't accept that you can like Weezer and Miley Cyrus and Melvins and it's all good.

Anyway yeah it's an awesome show. I want that acoustic album. Melvins have been boring for too long (thank you Big Business).

[Madmya]

You can't like all those three at once. It's just not cricket.

My friend Nick wrote a review about Hold It In (http://gutterbubbles.com/melvins-hold-it-in-album-review/) and I think it may be one of the best reviews I've ever read. Check it out!

I can't for the life of me figure out how these guys do it. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the third record they've released in just over a year, and Buzz had a solo record out earlier this year. The work ethic of these dudes is nuts!

[armogi]

Saw them last night here in San francisco, that was a mean loud show, lots of fun on and off stage too, all in all a great evening.

I've been playing Basses Loaded quite a bit this summer, really enjoying it a lot. Yeah, it's kinda got something for everyone, style-wise. That new video for "Hideous Woman" is pretty cool, too. The riffs in that song are bad ass.

I get to see them in August, so pretty excited for that, also!

THE MELVINS RELEASE PINKUS ABORTION TECHNICIANON APRIL 20 VIA IPECAC RECORDINGS; ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
NEW ALBUM FEATURES BOTH JEFF PINKUS (BUTTHOLE SURFERS) AND STEVEN MCDONALD (REDD KROSS, OFF!) ON BASS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12, 2018 – The Melvins return with the new album Pinkus Abortion Technician (April 20, Ipecac Recordings), featuring both ongoing Melvins’ bass player Steven McDonald (Redd Kross, OFF!) and Butthole Surfers’, and occasional Melvins’, bottom ender Jeff Pinkus on bass.


“With our upcoming release, we double your bass player with Steven McDonald AND Jeff Pinkus holding down the bottom,” explains Dale Crover. It’s an experiment in the low end of the aural spectrum where we asked ourselves, ‘would it work?’ ‘could it work??’ ‘should it work???’ The answers were yes, yes and YES!”


“We’ve never had two bass players. We’ve had two drummers and two guitar players so it makes total sense to now have two bass players, adds Buzz Osborne. “We’ll be taking this two-prong bass attack on the road as well which should prove to be interesting. Pinkus Abortion Technician is a radically great record and was a stone groove to record. We drank a lot of coffee and enjoyed each other’s company. I like Steven and Jeff a great deal. I admire their bass playing and singing and both of them can grill a mean steak.”
