VELOUR SPACESUIT posted:On their most recent tour they basically just did noise versions of their songs. It was equal parts bad and fantastic. I don't know why that would be bad at all.

I don't think they could hear themselves very well and the guy they had playing the sequencer drum parts was off beat from the guitar OFTEN. It was basically harsh noise versions of their songs that would have been fantastic otherwise. It was still worth it to see the disgusted and confused faces of all the scene kids who were only there to see Alcest, though.

I just can't get into it. I couldn't get into the last one either though. I don't think it's possible to top Dead Roots Stirring. I still buy everything they put out because they deserve it and I want them to tour here but yeah, just don't like their direction.

I agree that Dead Roots Stirring was their best. I wasn't a big fan of Lore, but I do enjoy this album more. I still love them. I even went so far as to order a t-shirt from them a few months ago, and I hadn't worn a band's t-shirt since high school. The lead guitarist/vocalist went so far as to e-mail me and make sure he had my address right before sending it, as I live in Korea.

I loved Lore so I'm really looking forward to some quality headphones-on time with new Elder. In other news, some Austin-based musicians (from The Sword, Brown Sabbath, Brownout, etc.) are working on a Doom Side of the Moon tribute album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9toFP9jdqI

The description got me kind of excited, but I wish they'd gone with a looser interpretation of the source material. Something more doomy/depressive/downtempo, and less just a straight cover in stoner rock tuning and timbre.

I like it but generally agree. I've been thinking a lot lately about how many threads go back to Pink Floyd from a lot of doom bands. I'd like to see it explored a little more outside of my own attempt at writing music.

I'll admit that I generally prefer more unique covers myself, and they did go safe with that first song. Then again, I can't really complain -- I prefer the stoner sound over straight doom  Sludge Tank posted:That looks sweet! Any idea when the rest is due?

My original post didn't seem to take, apologies if another like this pops up. I bet someone could do a cool doomish cover of Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. Melvins have a cover of another og floyd track, Interstellar Overdrive or Astronomy Domine I think.

The S/T has Nick doing Al Cisneros vocals which don't quite work for me. His vocals on everything after have improved along with the music.

The Atomic Bitchwax recorded a version of "Astronomy Domine" on TAB 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvtL5wiq0LY They like to do Floyd covers live too. I've seen them play "One Of These Days" and parts of "Pigs."

I know they released Everybody Loves Sausages, but this one has a fairy different tracklist: 01. Arnie (Warlock Pinchers cover)/ White Punks on Dope (The Tubes cover) 02. Today Your Love Tomorrow The World (Ramones cover) 03. Jerkin' Krokus (Mott the Hoople cover) 04. Return of Spiders (Alice Cooper cover) 05. Rocket Reducer # 62 (MC5 cover) 06.

California Uber Alles (with Jello Biafra) (Dead Kennedys cover) 11. Love Canal (Flipper cover) 12. Someday (Flipper cover) I can't complain too much though really, the Melvins are prolific as hell and I like almost everything they've ever done, although I'm not into Colossus of Destiny. The album, not the doc, haven't seen the doc yet, although it comes out next Monday on Vimeo if you're not a backer (sadly I'm not, found out about it too late).

I'm finally getting into the Melvins. How weird is that? I thought why not since I'm in this big huge doomsludge binge. They, uh, really did help form like 90% of these genres didn't they? So far I've been listening to Houdini and recently Bullhead. Both are ace. I wish someone would've showed me them growing up in the 90s so I didn't have to go hard radio rock -> bad metalcore -> etc to find out about good heavy music.

I had been reading about the melvins in Maximum Rock n Roll for a few years before I finally wised up and saw them at cbgbs in 1990. I was also tripping at the time and thought this was the most revelatory music I had ever heard. Buzzos hair was beautiful and the way Dale rode the drums was glorious. I gushed for a long time to the bass player who finally said "unmm thanks a lot but I'm only playing on this tour". I was hardcore into them until Stoner Witch and wrote off almost everything after that as corny but I'm finally coming around again.

Listen to Stag, Nude With Boots, A Senile Animal and Everybody Loves Sausages next. You won't regret it. I also recommend watching their Hellfest 2011 set, which is on Youtube in full. It's the Big Business lineup, and the loving power of both Coady and Dale is monumental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFgzPojlwIE

the buzzo/dale/joe preston ep's are the most underrated things in the melvins catalog, and buzzo's is the worst of the three imo. speaking of joe preston, any thrones fans, here? his aforementioned ep is pretty much a pre-cursor to that project.

i definitely meant "worst" in a relative kind of way, too. it's still really good, but i just didn't expect buzzo to be outdone by dale/joe for some reason. i did love seeing the big business/melvins stuff though. caught them during their first(?) tour back in 2005 and watched dale and coady go through like 10 pairs of drumsticks each. almost nobody hits harder than those guys and i love it.

The Joe Preston EP is so, so good. Bricklebrit sounds weirdly like a Death Grips instrumental. I should listen to Thrones. You guys like Kowloon Walled City? I know I do. Doomy, slow and intense. Depressed and angry. Excellent vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DStEmeCJJmU

Saw Destroyer of Light and GOYA last night. Both killed it, but unfortunately there wasn't a huge turnout. Nashville is kind of a crap shoot when it comes to locals actually going to shows. If their tour is rolling through your town totally worth checking out for some stoner metal goodness.
