Idem, en Houdini. Keer gezien in het voorprogramma van een Mike Patton project, ik denk in 2002, in de Melkweg. Was jij daar toen ook niet, Bosbeetele? Ze droegen toen allemaal een jurk, in die heerlijke bak met herrie.

Leuke groep was dat ook; Kaada. Ik heb toen dat album gekocht van ze, en later ook nog eens Kaada + Patton. Daarna er eigenlijk niets meer van gehoord. Ik weet nog goed dat ze toen op het einde iets van glitterstof hadden en in het publiek stonden te strooien.

quote:

The Melvins, who have essentially never stopped touring or recording with 20 studio albums to their name, were friends and mentors to Nirvana's Cobain and Krist Novoselic, who hailed from the same rural part of Washington state. As Novoselic once said of the sway Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne held over him: "Buzz was the preacher, and his gospel was punk rock." The Melvins sonic influence on Nirvana's first album is unmistakable.

But to hear Osborne tell it, his band's importance has too often been diminished.

"All (Nirvana) biographers want to do is pretend that we don't matter," the never-shy singer/guitarist said to me at the onset of the first interview I conducted with him for my book. "They talk us down like none of this makes any difference, but what they have to understand, and what needs to be clearly stated, is that without us, there is no Nirvana. Without us, there is no Nirvana."

So by all means go ahead and purchase the "Nevermind" reissue or catch a showing of Cameron Crowe's new "Pearl Jam Twenty" documentary, and relive the glories of grunge's most commercial era.

But if you want a deeper understanding of where grunge came from, investigate some music by the Melvins (those Nirvana biographers be damned!) or Mudhoney or any number of other grunge bands not fronted by someone with the surname Cobain, Vedder or Cornell.

Yes, 1991 was a very good year for grunge, but why not try something of a different vintage?

Hey Folks, some douche bag out there has made over 5000 counterfeit RED vinyl "Houdini" records (there was no red edition), and is passing them off as real for big bucks. These are fakes. Aside from sounding like complete crap they are made with the sole intention of ripping off you guys, as well as the band. Anyone that can give us the name of the scum bag making them, we will take care of mightily. Don't go off on stores, eBayers, online shops as they were likely ripped off as well. Please tell anyone trying to sell it, that it's a fake/counterfeit, as they might not know. We only want the scumbag that's pressing 'em!

Ik ben trouwens benieuwd welke lineup ze nu mee spelen (2 drummers of niet). Ik ga vrijdag wel weer even kijken op ATP als er geen clashes zijn.

De laatste keer dat ik ze zag was het de dubbele drum lineup maar de helft van het concert speelden ze maar met z'n tweeen....Klonk niet al te best.

Na 45 minuten of zo was het wel de volledige lineup. Iets met technische problemen geloof ik.

It’s 2016 and the Melvins have an album called Basses Loaded coming out that features six different bass players. That’s right SIX different bass players. NEW Melvins bass players for this go around are Steve McDonald from the legendary Los Angeles glam punk band Redd Kross and their old friend Krist Novoselic from Nirvana! Making return appearances are former and probably future bass players Jeff Pinkus (Butthole Surfers), Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle/Fantomas), Jared Warren (Big Business) and Dale Crover.

Six bass players? Is this a joke? What IS the deal with these ceaseless idiots? Can’t they just settle in and be happy with ONE line up?

Apparently not.

I suppose it figures considering how many goddam bass players they’ve had up until this point.

Nonetheless Basses Loaded actually works!

According to King Buzzo, “More is more! As hard as it might be to believe, all of these bass players contribute something of their own to Basses Loaded which gives the whole album a good kick right in it’s big fat ass.”

Recording with Krist Novoselic is something that should have happened a long time ago but rumor has it that he’s been busy doing things like playing bass with Paul McCartney and getting his ass inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s hard to believe he even bothered with this! Ha!

Butthole Surfer and Honky member Jeff Pinkus played on the Melvins’ album Hold it In and has done shit load of touring with the boys in the last few years.

Trevor Dunn recorded the Freak Puke album with these guys as well as played bass on the Melvins’ record setting US tour where they played all 50 states plus DC in 51 days. This was also released as a tour DVD last year entitled Across the USA in 51 Days, the Movie!

Jared Warren is a Melvins’ veteran having recorded the Senile Animal, Nude with Boots and The Bride Screamed Murder albums as well as the Bulls and the Bees EP.
Dale Crover is usually the Melvins drummer but slid over to bass when they brought back original drummer Mike Dillard for the Tres Cabrones album (this line-up was called Melvins 1983).

Steve McDonald has been in Redd Kross since he was 11 and he’s a founding member of Los Angeles hardcore band OFF! plus he’s got REALLY good stories about the “rock scene” in Los Angeles! The Melvins have a shit load of touring planned with Steven this year so this whole thing is a really big deal.

Basses Loaded track listing with bass players:
The Decay of Lying (Steve McDonald)
Choco Plumbing (Jared Warren)
Beer Hippie (Dale Crover)
I Want To Tell You (Steve McDonald)
Captain Come Down (Jeff Pinkus)
Hideous Women (Steve McDonald)
