so nobody seems to have heard of melvins on the board so i will start a thread for the most kick ass band (besides tones) to ever walk the earth. here is a quick link to satisfy the curious

who hasn't heard of the melvins? I own pigs of the roman empire, stoner witch, gluey porch treatments, 26 songs, houdini, and lysol.
finally...i just wanted to provide a quick link for people to get edumacated. did you like honky? that one is my favorite melvins album
Of course! If anyone's into heavier music of any kind and they don't know the Melvins it's a shame. They actually got me into heavier doom and drone, I think from them I went into Burning Witch and Electric Wizard. I love the Lustmord album, dark ambience with the Melvins touch.
aren't they the band Kurt loved so much????? Is true that they covered smells like teen spirit?
I feel like i should be tripping on shrooms while watching that vid. TY.

Stick to that simple ass music you listen to.
I dont dig them that much either ...
BUTT ., YOu like alot of crap bands from the short time i have been on that I see.....SO you have no room to talk/comment about anyone elses musical taste because your taste is BLAND.
continue to listen to the radio , and quit commenting on anyone who has actual "taste" for what they like.

you should be in Guinness for talking so much shit.
You should be in "Guinness" for the most generic person to ever dig any music by a band like Deftones.
fuck, you like Incubus more than all .
your a laugh .
really. you are.
I WILL COME>
im not Chi either.
i'm listening to "the crybaby" right now. is there anything melvins can do wrong? i say no
they're really good. weird. but good.
awesome...have you ever eaten whats alive, belly full of swine, cooked on the inside
I saw the Melvins a couple years ago. It was crazy. The Melvins and then right after that was Jello Biafra and the Melvins.
One of the best shows I've ever been to.
I say that alot though. I just like going to shows.
Also, if you're into the Melvins, you will probably dig Boris, a Japanese stoner/drone/doom band that takes their name from a Melvins song.

the biafra stuff was good.
my favorite melvins show was when they payed with helmet at the middle east down in boston. buzzo implored the audience to break out the whiskey and ax handles because the other band (helmet) were assholes. all in good fun though :)

The only other Japanese band that I really dig is Melt-Banana. They're this crazy Lightning Bolt-esque noise rock band that sings in Engrish.
i like the fact that most japanese bands would be looked upon as novelties or fluff here but are taken completely seriously over there. its kinda like hihi puffy ami yumi, rock stars there but would get laughed out of the building here
Yeah, Melt-Banana toured with Tool and now like 90% ( pulled that number out of my ass) of Americans that actually know who Melt-Banana are hate them...because they're Tool fans and Tool fans are for the most part, fucking stupid.
kinda like dir en grey and the deftones. for all the people that talked shit about them on the tour, i felt they were the superior opening act compared to fall of troy.
I thought they were utter shit.
i didn't mind them at all, they were loud and noisy and the set i saw was pretty good. i'm not saying i'll buy their albums but i did feel they were better than most people thought. i just didn't care for the marilyn manson esque look and stage show they put on
Honestly I wasn't even listening. I saw the singer and then tuned out.
I thought Fall of Troy were alright though. They're from here and I had heard good things. Musically they were pretty impressive, but the vocals ruined it for me.
I wasn't even all that impressed with the 'tones. I just don't like big venue shows in general.
where did you see them at? most of the venues weren't that big. when i saw them, they played at local club, it had pretty good capacity but was really intimate too. i was even on the balcony for the whole show and felt like i was right on top of the stage
Quest Field Events Center.
The space was a lot bigger than it needed to be though.
ah, yes i agree the tones are definitely a club band
everyone go to:

In what should be a surprise to few, the Melvins have plans to release a new album in 2008.

thats the most awesome news i've heard all week! thanks Z
Just saw the Melvins last month for like the 10th time. If you like them, then check out Big Business.
Oh god, I love Big Business. I saw them with a band called Minsk and was blown away by both bands.
you would like melvins latest album. BB "joined" the band and recorded an entire album with them. 2 drum sets *drool*
I have been trying to find the 1st BB record. Anyone have a good source?
My mom bought it at some out of town record store.

i <3 your mom
Yeah...my mom pretty much rules.
My first show was Slayer...AS A FETUS!
I'm listening to Melvins - Toy at the moment.
crybaby is an awesome album, best of the trilogy in my opinion
What's sad is I don't actually own any Melvins.
I would if I didn't have a computer that sucks a donkey dick.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
I know, right? I had a small collection of a few songs I dug up on Limewire a long time ago, but they disappeared and now my harddrive is so full that I really can't download any of the albums that I want. I think I have a Melvins album lying around somewhere...but I have no clue where.
I forgot to mention, Melvins fans might dig my dad's band. He's the drummer.
Astral Bastards (http://www.myspace.com/astralbastards)
listening to Stag atm. what a brilliant album. Skin Horse fuckin rocks
love this band. at the moment i have: (a) senile animal, bullhead, stoner witch, and houdini.
i've always wanted more but have no idea where to start in their huge catalogue.
I love listening to Stoner Witch, what a great album.

...and why the fuck not :)
stoner witch and houdini for the absolute win.
got nude with boots a couple of weks ago, a definite improvement over a senile animal (not that it was a bad album, just nwb is better). i highly recommend everyone go pick it up
Yeah so I am totally tempted to check this band out. I wanna go out and purchase Bullhead. The artwork is so bizarre that it has to be mine! Yeah so is that a great Melvins album?

bullhead is good, but its more of a hardcore melvins fan album (they make a lot of noise albums, including this one). I would start with houdini, stoner witch, the maggot, crybaby, a senile animla or nude with boots before you delve into bullhead. just a suggestion
