Check out A Senile Animal because they'll play a lot of stuff off it.

Plus, just go because they have two drummers and it's an absolutely mind-blowing experience.

Lol, yeah that's what I read on their last.fm page. I saw the video Merkaba posted and I quite like it. Methinks Imma gonna go...not like I have anything better to do...:-/ ;)

[QUOTE=almauro;347471]So we all suspect King Buzzo and Dale would rather live in their apartments collecting royalty checks and smoking dope, than be mega famous rock stars. They could have turned the "commerical" rock world upon its head, but left that to Nirvana, while they strived to remain in obscurity, always subverting their success by submarining their albums with crazing ambient experimental compositions which left fans wondering "what the #$&@*?" Okay, so after 20 years of recording and too many cds to name, we can now pull those awesome tracks the Melvins tantalized us with, but refused to deliver in mass. Example?..."Revolve" for STONER WITCH. It's a crazy album, but this tune rocks harder than anything Metallica or Nirvana ever did. In fact, Hetfield and Cobain could only dream of singing and playing guitar as well as Buzzo could...when he wanted to. It's time for the Melvins to prove they produced the greatest metal, albiet spread throughout many albums, ever recorded in the history of rock. Eventhough they've shunned the spotlight, lets put together a compilation that will get recognition for what they were...the greatest band of the 90's.

Maybe it was spread out across so many albums because they were UNABLE to be consistent on a single album, and weren't nearly as creatively good as you say. Maybe those other bands did better because they could create decent material in a shorter period of time and could make consistent albums.

Or maybe they just made the albums they wanted to make instead of the albums mtv wanted them to make.

Could be. Either way, the result is the inconsistency alluded to in the opening thread, and few traces of evidence that they were capable of something that would've got them recognition on the level of "best metal band of the 90s".

Dude there not metal.

Uh, have you heard their music? Enough of their stuff would be pretty hard NOT to call metal.

Yeah dude I have Houdini, Bullhead, The Maggot, 26 songs, Bootlicker and hundreds more....I think there on the border line of metal and grunge...I know that alot of people give the credit of starting the whole grunge thing.....I think there on that border but I consider them more grunge than metal.

Too bad grunge isn't really a genre.

Or interesting
