you know i've just never associated melvins with that "scene"

I don't really, but they're an option on the poll so I'll be fucked if I'm not voting for them over Soundgarden or AIC.

i feel thats like saying Supersuckers are apart of that....i mean they are from Seattle and from around that time.....but in no way associated with this shit

i don't think Stone Temple Pilots were even from Seattle were they?

Sneer · 11-28-2011, 02:50 PM

and U-Men, they should be in there too.

And no idea!

I was just reading how the Melvins influenced the Seattle bands like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden.

It went on to also suggest they also influenced the band "Tool".

Ive never actually listened to them

, what genre would you suggest best categorizes their sound?

Sneer · 11-28-2011, 02:54 PM

Sludge metal I'd say.

bob. · 11-28-2011, 02:54 PM

what he said.....with maybe stints of bass heavy noise (lysol is amazing)

i saw them open for tool while they were touring the Ænima album....it was great Melvins did an hour set of noisy improve.....those of us who loved them loved it....the rest of the people just covered their ears

on that....never really like tool on record....but they are amazing live

and yeah u-men were freaking great

How can you not like layne staleys voice? He had an amazing voice. There was so much power in it. AIC had a sense of humor. Ever heard the song "iron gland"? And if you've seen their unplugged set, they clearly have a sense of humor there. Jerry does a little country tune for a minute and then laughs about it. Then they poke a little fun at metallica, who was sitting in the front row.

Doesn't seem to be any nirvana fans here. I still think they were pretty good. Maybe overrated, but still good.

bob. · 11-28-2011, 03:16 PM

i understand why people like them/his voice....its just not for me

Sneer · 11-28-2011, 03:17 PM

I just don't like their music. Simple.
