anyone have any pointers to the last show the melvins held while they were still based in seattle? people are saying matt's last show with them was late 87 or early 88 but i'm not sure

A few of the songs on this killer album (especially Skweetis and Goose Freight Train) sounds like what I imagine Tom Waits would sound like if he ever made a metal record. Which, now that I think of it, I really wish he fucking would!

October 18, 1994. First Melvins album I heard, nothing else from their discography beat it for me
Top 3 tracks?

.. how many hundreds of thousands A'holes are part in the biggest pearls before svines story of all time just because they actively been making their own minds more narrow and just by beeing pretentious, judgemental and proud to show it, and beeing hexed and possesed by something that force them to put a label on songs and bands and quickly make it categorized and think they done anything really ... it looks like its a tic, or somesomething switches in peoples heads and all i say above rolls out on full auto. Mind-diarrhea Me I am daily very thankful to be a Melvins enthusiast and impressed as f by the number of releases the quality of them all...you know and you reallyreally dont know with every relrelease. I wasnt older than my late twenties and 5 -6 yrs into my guitarplaying when I discovered them, strangely late i think, I was a total mtv nut, possesed by grunge rock n punk 90s ...but maybe i was a little late by a year or two...when i really started loving music kurt had been gone for over two years I discovered a more serious level of music .. this was ratm first and i knew that this this is good and they mean business with how they play, but man i thought it was strange but i couldnt stop listening..in 98 this experience repeated but everything was x100 and I was a local friend of a friend visiting smoking weed and my soon newest friend shut of the tv, checked if everyone had gotten the puffs they wanted and put a cd in trayy not closing, first choosing track 2, hit the lightswith and then hit play and got back to his place in the sofa...I saw this not ordinary way of starting a cd, and i knew this guy was playing guitar cuz he played the local talentshow a few years earlier .... when i heard someone in the room clinking a lighter on a coffecup and didnt se anyone doing anything like that I thought goodsmoke and then i heard another strange sound joining the ongoing clinking ... now I know i look like i wonder wth is going on and my not yet new friend looks at me with a freaky freaky smile .... and nice huh? Nodding at stereo and yeah its superstrange but you have to play this one again later ....he started laughing and saying you get it, and told me youre in luck, Cuz 1 You instantly know its something good and wont stop listening whatever happens..your curious and i can only hope to be at your place and not yet heard this reccord...ive heard it on repeat this past year since spring, its been the soundtrack all summer...They are named Tool and that was strange but the song Eulogy and my baked brain was in trance, i steped into our local tower records as soon as the guy unlocked and let me in and smiled and started talking when i bought Aenima and said i wasnt impressed with any thing you bught before...i laughed and said, need the right people introducing good stuff instead of what earlier people showed me which was bad....most music sucks ass; 13$ a cd is very much to me so safe cards classics i know works and best ofs with no singles or hits missing..how was the purple 30th you bought ? Riche blackmoore should get a beating for cutting a classic epic like child in time in half only to release the full song on another 2disc version of the release and on first half of it on the standard 1disc edition...its crime really and blckmoore is a psycho an fykking sadist...i thought hated him executing brand new fender strats like some soviet guarden warden armed with a greasedripping revolver shot to breakage getting diaappointed when he cant kill just one more....so he kills the marshall major stack and sadly didnt electrecute himself right there and then...would been a good end of show you crumfck...so no melvins in my life at 2000 and not a 2002 either but my introducer to toool invites us to their rehearsalplace this year and they rip my brain apart with a 5-6 song setlist of covers from tbat years, ir decades reccord Lateralus...a year later or so i knew that there is so much good shit not beeing played by far too many people, and i had learned yes the ways my mind hopes a song goes and sounds, especially guitarsounds they are POSSIBLE, but you have to do it yourself because others doesnt get it, what is what mostly gets played is bad and repeat of overdone mindless junk lacking everything from originality and surprise to realistic sound of real playing, insted surgical compressioncompression and quantization to hell and steve vai is satans personal little errand bov and actually his anal dildo, hammered in shoulders first doubleneck ibanjez sshowed one neck up both assholes sharing double dildo with tha actual dildo, Vai which is the one of them so talented that they gathered audiences to watch him climbing up into his own broken asshole...sheering crowds was howling for it to be done more than anything. I wondered why everyone inin unity always mentioned really copies of same old style of be another sounding like the rest claimg to soounding not like any of those other bands, by accident playing the same gear down tha list...the right make of speaker and what now happened to be what music critics say is good like thay know anything and having a ongoing long period growing gap by years ssknce they prat practised learned thst song to perfection, not thinking about how long hours they spend on fingeracrobatics someone else made and doing so not seeing how its far from music but notes and ababoute their vast distances from each other and how to get so smooth but fast ...doing all that without feel like a bigger and bigger ffing dork loser and actually live it out beeing the looser showing off like anyone who likes music and is disgusted by composer types (heavy on the POSER part, like buzz put it) i was struggstruggleng with fate in music it was so much more of the offensively bad compared to real music ...you hear it when thats your mainfocus ... how its sounding....not whst the lyrics, not with imageing and famous celebrity idiocrasy, but instead playing more convincing shows getting their shared sometimes overlapping fans seeing one kind of performance done like its a big sack on their heads , but helpers saying ready soon and they knowing less than the setlist, thst he wont share but declare which is next during awkvard set without flow show or respect of or for their fans...and tbe other, suddenly someone walks with goals knowledge and seems to do a checkover of the things he needs and the sounds loud to louder clean cleaner evenlouder then lowered volume and pitch at the same time at a funny timing to be next aec be overdone until lowest strings threathens to jump ship but snapped back and directly throwed into heavy distorsion as it gets pitched up again.. and suddenly dead silence and just as suddenly sound back a chord strauck 2‐3 times with precision as suddenly as 2-3 and a 4 stroke on as many different chords ...whats this a song? Guitar gets strustrummed once again no chord held because hand goes to switch all the rest of his rigg turned on wow, 3 times bigger sound of the guitar hanging now almost bumbling fuzzing and almost feeding back...dead silence and yes ready, all works rest of band climbs onto stage the two drummers monkying their way in through under their kits at eeeeh some stage, not even a meter up off the floor crowdfence whats that? PRESS pit, security ? Not here not needed. It is my first live melvins show and im front row since a few hours...that was the easist 4 1/2 hour drive and the ssame ride back same night was a changed man, never had a doubt but what hell the pro's should watch and learn about true professionalism and respect and greatfullness...seen many shows before but didnt know i would see what a real show is, cuz thats what struck me, it was a demo in how to entertain, without flow breakage and overagain waiting for sound to reappear ,insted it was thought trough sounds and show on the move inte the next song with a drumsolo, or someting bassnoodleing or just no in between song but a 1/2 second stop/start and next song was even faster and running you over and i was laughing at the delighted to have Big Melvins do a truly menacing show, a setlist couldnt had dreamt up or dared hohoping for, this was 2011 and id been a fan since 08, and amazed since then thst weird thing that was happening with first longing hoping and getting a release from tool after another decade of wait and getting shitsandwiched to these fantasticly freethinkers a freakyness drdroping records on reccords again and again when im 20 years late and wondering why no one ever told me...then i remebered Kurt did; several times but i was to young 8 yrs i think when nevermind exploded...buzz has 100% fixed me and tweaked my outlook, direction just the right amount of degrees so I am now totaly free in my guitarplaying, and using my creativity actively letting it lose im playing, playing like a child its childsplay because its easy,..force strangles it,,so im having fun as my creativity plays forcing nothing laughing at it all because its fun and sounds fucfucing good and these melvins are smartasses deluxe kepp fucking around to without ever having meet pretentious assmuppets just alienate them beforehand to get them to think youre a dumbdumb and dont bothrr even checking out their work..they never miss the hair and never gets past it and the thing in mumu that tries to be him in the Cure and then starts a rant on that drycunt coward who changes his own music that people outside the bband say is this and that and they are just wrong because they jump tto conclusions like blinded but high on crack for beeing able to attack and this weakling crumbles on demand...robert smith bitchbrain mangina. Dare comare melvins to the whiners in the whining band..Melvins are so good...getting the respect from the industry, members of other bands that not even thinks for a sec on it when melvins are mentiod and displays of respect and praise in all forms just gets poured out by everyone...that know they exist or play something completely else or different..Rob zombie didnt have a fragile ego he claimed but he said he just didnt like their music...of course not because your entire catalouge is image driven for snd by hipters who wants to think they know whats what and they say thsts in amd thats out and only for loosers...they do actually recognise actaual good music but hates it for beeing done by someone not living in that fantasyworld of his where keeping up appearances like a bitch who fears getting bumped down in social standings like women do.Rob zombie is bitchbrain and im laughing daily at rats like them are so desperate to do another even worse album or song sort of saying listen to this then, offensively bad for someone triggered by frustratingly bad weak songs and people (kretins) claiming its heavy AND good...b Must be amazing to be performing such powerfull songs declairing again and again...youre nothing and you know it bitch, but you give fans what they says says is metal and heavy and this shit you give is reblended same recipy redone. .and no dressed up hornpronged cryptdemon specialleffect screecher can be proud since the never ever dares letting Melvins open their scene and follow them right after with their set...there would be many real music lover knowing good and good as f putin others to embarrassing shame...

Its smart the respect comes from #1 place mattering at all. Fellow bands and the few real listening people managing and producing ...real people who unnderstands real rock n roll, knowing whats a groove and hang and love doing their thing with it yhat their heroes maybe only almost done like you would have it. Pretentious people always love to laugh classic rock, down1playing it and claims its to simple.and told to not be to basic.

Losers are to big losers to almost feel sorry for em, dumb pathetic and claiming weak posers are heavy Youre not worthy. Bitch

Tis the season

Also, what songs by other bands if ya got a good one

Anyone even do these anymore? Oh well.. I made one a while back but I add onto it every once in a while. I know someone made one of these Melvins related a while back but that one is so small and barely scratches the surface! Full length with a bunch of stuff and little tidbits. Enjoy just picking through and seeing what weird shit I stumble upon. Some great stuff here, while others are things I just heard from the grapevine.. If you have any suggestions LMK and I'll add them. https://icebergcharts.com/i/Remade_Melvins

I’m a causal Melvins fan. I really like a few albums from their 80s and 90s work, and that’s about it. Theres something about Black Bock that I absolutely love, and it’s just a whole different sound for them - I love their metal stuff too of course. Are there any more songs or albums in the same vein as Black Bock?

before I start, I’d like to send good vibes to JD Pinkus who is currently dealing with biblical levels of flooding in the North Carolina mountains where he resides. this has affected me too and I am thankful I have power and shelter and can help others here who’s homes and loved ones have literally washed away.

on a less depressing note, this is something I plan to do at the end of every month to recap all of Melvins and Melvins adjacent happenings. This includes news, releases, interviews, old live shows being uploaded, and whatever else that I find interesting.

Links will be provided to everything and let me know if I missed anything.

Did anyone notice that this is not on Spotify anymore? It's an Atlantic release and other Houdini is still on there. Does anyone know why??

Edit: I just noticed that it is there but it's like they're a separate band and only that record is under their name. Very strange, but at least it's three
