My dear old mum was recently starting to listen to some of the bands that I listen to, (Eyehategod, Mr Bungle, Primus and allsorts) but sadly I didn't get the chance to introduce her to The Melvins as she sadly passed away this weekend. I know for a fact she would have loved them though. RIP Mum. I'm gonna miss you loads!
Rest In Peace Mum you wouldve loved Gluey Porch Treatments
RIP Mum. You sound like an amazing woman
Dude, your mom sounds awesome. God rest her soul and hopefully she is listening to the Melvins now.
Spinning Houdini (and Stag) in her honor.
A History Of Good Moms
This is one of the hand full of reasons I started playing guitar during the pandemic. I told buzz that when I met him in October. He started when he was 18 and me when I was 28. He said that’s all he ever wanted to do was to inspire people to step out side of their comfort zone. The dude is a true hero to many
I started in the pandemic too. When I was 42. Similar inspiration.Keep doing it 🤘
Bass is so loud in the mix! Love that.
me too! you can hear his playfulness and nuances and just simply a cool saturated stylish sound, cool on it's own and in relation to the other instruments
I really love what he brings as a bassist to the band
I think it sounds awful xD It's very pooey
When the guitar and bass come together in all that glorious fuzz and distortion, it sounds like one very powerful instrument.
melvins r such a strange band but i love them so much
Yr either tuned to their frequency or you ain't.
@@tikhongilson3770I sure is.
I saw them in 2000 at Irving Plaza completely sober. I was standing next to the bass cabinet, felt hammered by the end of the show. Easily the loudest show I’d seen
BASS
FUZZ
HARRY CLOUD 666 bass sounds poor to me
Dale Crover is one of the few (singing) drummers that gets away with using a headset mic.
Fuck off peter chris can to
brian from lightning bolt is knocking...
@@indigotheindieghost7214 Yeah, but when your face's covered with a handmade mask it's easier to get away with it ;-)
@@dashwig fair point hehehe
Peter Chris awesome digdog!
played this for my cat and he turned into the cleric beast from bloodborne
Lol
Lmfao this is the funniest thing i have read all year! 😂
hahahaaa
Brilliant.
One of my fav Melvins tunes.. masterfully performed.
So great they still play songs from STAG. The Bit is great one.
Their chemistry is unmatched! Steven was a great addition on the 4 string. As much as I absolutely adore the Fantomas Melvins big band live version, this performance is soooo epic!
see there my friends, that's what it's all about... DYNAMICS
make em wait for it, want it, then give it to em....Fk yeah!
Steve has been such a perfect fit. His sense of humour is the perfect foil for Buzz's seriousness.
Best version of this amazing track!!
I just love this band!
Long live to the fucking Melvins!!!
STILL UNTOUCHABLES
Fucking love the Melvins
Good tune
The Melvins and Pantera, my favorite bands of all time
Great live performance from a great band!! PHENOMENAL
greatest live band that's ever Grace this Earth
No one has as much fun playing than the Melvins, Killer!
That orange looks great.
One of the loudest shows I've been too. The Melvins and Napalm Death. Not one to wear ear plugs, but damn.... My ears were fuked for a few days after.
Not seeing that tour is one of my biggest live music regrets.
I saw Napalm Death open for Testament and it was sad how few people were around. Lamb of God and Slayer were also playing that night, and of course there was a ton of people to see garbage-ass Lamb of God. Slayer was good tho
No shame in wearing plugs. Tinnitus is no fun from what I'm told.
Just had the honor of meeting King Buzzo after their show in Dallas this past week. Incredibly nice guy.
So hard they work on their music so hard and they Rockand Steven Shea McDonalds a great bass player also puzzle rocks and dales awesome keep rocking buzzo
Sounds really good
Magnificent MELVINS
Awesome. Wish I was there.
Legends!!!
So powerull so wild incredible
Melvins fan from the Melvins army since beggining of my blossom...... even too young to bring it out here in france with me, never been shocked to don't get a missing fulltime bassist for the band, but, damn, I feel how this Steve was feeling and be a Melvins DNA since always, don't quit RedKross but be a melvins forever, Buzz&Dale are great are always but your bass bring the missing noise!
Masters. Forever!!!!!!!!!!
Me sorprendieron estos tipos.
damn!
HOLY BASS
SCREAM!!!! TRAPPED IN A MELVIN DREAM 🤘🤘
Love this fucking song
Fuckin awesome band remember seein em at 8x10 in baltimore
Jodidamente buenos
best melvins song ever amk very underrated, like this video lan
Music gods - listen - glad I found this needed the insperation , thats what they do they inspire, check thee history.
Great
Went to the same show in SLC, fucking glorious.
Did John Lurie compose your theme music?
Buzzo and Dale and Steve and Pincus rock hard The melvins rule
Omg Hold it in with Pinkus & Paul Leary is awesome Buzzo/Crover/McDonald/Pinkus/Leary & Mike Patton need to do an album
@@jomama9445 yes they do need to do an album together that would be awesome
@2:15... Ahh, that feels better
Cool setlist. Is the full set on youtube anywhere?
Fuzz fuzzing tastic
Millennium Monster Work with Fantomas and their work with big business is some pretty great stuff.
This song has huge, heavy, T-Rex balls.
Gil Scott Heron intro followed by Melvins? Yes please!
That would be trippy.
I think the only question is why Steven wasn't ALWAYS the bass for Melvin's antics. So perfect.
Reckon if Rutmanis wasn't kicked out for extra curricular activities, he'd still be the bassist
AllergicToMyself probably probably not
I used to think Joe Preston was my favorite Melvins bassist, but Steven McDonald is fantastic.
Preston was perfect for the super slow drone-driven stuff and I tend towards the doomier end of things.
Jared Warren, Rutmanis, and Dunn are all fantastic in their own right but they seem to really hitting a groove with Steven.
Justin Vavala it’s all been the same to me buzz writes mostly everything anyway. Mark D was the only real exception from what it says on their song credits.
SSSiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!
Greatest bass arrangement this song ever had was courtesy of the Great Kevin Rutmanis \m/
And the 7th day God made The Melvins.....oh....thank you God
Steven McDonald is neither the best nor worst bassist the Melvins have had, but he's definitely the most fun, and that's what they needed. Glad he's had a long spell with them.
So true!
hes the worst. been waitin a long time hoping they replace him
I learned all of my drumming knowledge from Phil Collins and Dale.
I can totally hear a saxophone on this.
the intro of this particular offering on CZcams inspires me to look elsewhere for a live version of The Bit
If you haven't already found it, look up the version that Melvins do with Fantomas -- Trevon Dunn, Mike Patton, Dale Crover AND Dave Lombardo. Epic.
This is an audio onslaught
Does anyone knows the brand & model of that guitar?
The brand is Electrical Guitar Company
@@JoelSully that is worst guitar company name ever.
I am just elated that so many people love the melvins. Gives me hope that people don’t have shit taste in music after all
They kinda are shit but in a good way. Buzz said it himself.
Good thing Grandma-Buzzo got that aluminium guitar. For. The. Nuance.
This is grunge. Heavy, thick and viscous as a tar.
Grunge is metal but Seattle people are too snobbish to admit it.
That snare
That fucking intro was DoPe
Ahh...dad rock :)
Kinda like Brann Dailor of Mastadon. They do a good cover of the bit.
Kurt (rumoured) planned to fire Dave Grohl and have Dale drum the 4th NIRVANA-album. All respect to Dave (I mean that 100%) but that would've been awsome.
Why in the hell has he two tuners on his pedalboard?
Who?
King Buzzo...
Not to get too technical but it's likely to use as a mute for one string of effect pedals
tone
Leisure Muffin tune
when I grow up I want to be king buzo
0:33
Buzz Osbourne is actually Lucifer on holiday.
Buzz is not the devil Dale is the only drummer who used a headset that matters and McDonald was a little kid when THE MELVINS were conceived. The fact is THE MELVINS ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE BUZZ AND DALE
does....
anyone knows why Buzz does not play live with his Custom Black Les paul like he used to?
just miss those old days
not the biggest fan of this modern Aluminum Guitars
Not saying that they sound bad
heavy af
The ally guitars are lighter, and better sustain...
@@jessie778899 Lighter, totally agree. Quantifying sustain is a myth.
Aluminum Buzz0
I have both a Beta lead and a Marshall 2204 and I'd pick the 2204 any day. Beta lead is still cool but not as cool as 2204.
I'm surprised to see Melvins on here, most hipster radio stations are averse to playing metal.
RRR hipster? 😂 um no.
Why does this sound like a certain rob zombie song???
Why do so many good bands have only a small "cult" following?
@@noisecommunion still within "cult" range. SB in the hundreds of thousands.
100% better than nirvana
Producers ruined Nirvana, listen to "With the Lights Out" compilation
This is for Cows.
That’s quite a bit...
Buzz's tone took massive hit when he went with these aluminum guitars.
lMrFresno559l no. Have you seen his new Bean setup? Sounds absolutely insane, better than any other guitar ive heard. He had a probably with the early aluminum guitars but it was that the Gibson pickups were too hot with them.
Sorry dude. An aluminum guitar is ever going to sound as good as a les paul.
lMrFresno559l Thats just not true dude. I just saw them last July, he sounded insane. Better than Les Paul days. And he was using the aluminum Travis Bean with all solid state amps
I used to have a Kramer with an aluminum neck and let me tell you, the tone was amazing but it was heavy as fuck!
Really put the hurting on my neck and shoulders
Pretty sure Buzz knows what he's doing after ALL these years when it comes to guitar set up
To me they're getting better with age
Buzz didn't edit the mix, dumbass
i think that guitar might have an aluminum neck
Yup. The entire guitar is aluminum. They're made by the Electric Guitar Company.
@@Steely_Fran cool! stainless steel frets. $3000 US.
bassist is on tranz HAHA
Oh Steve, quit screwing up the infamous intro.
He's just getting the kinKs out of it.
No, he always takes a mocking sound on Melvins tracks. Listen to the Melvins then listen to the Melvins with Steve...
This is a great intro.
I like Steve
Agree, orionsic.... Still cool though..
Is that the pedo spiral on his shirt?
another melvins bass plyer rippin it up n shht
Saul really took a weird turn after Breaking Bad ended huh?
I dont like this bass player style so much
I love the Melvins but they aren't the best live band in my opinion. Performance and sound is not that great
Must of been at a horrible venue. One of the best live in my opinion.
I’ve seen them live several times and they were always awesome and incredibly loud and heavy
Giant Squid not true I’ve seen them several times since then and they were always heavy. Check out the hellfest set when they opened with hung bunny
I've seen them twice this year (2019) . The 40 Watt sounded, should be live release, beautiful. At Saturn (B'ham) the sound was fuck-shit, all you could hear was mid-range noise. If you walked into the bar next door, it was great. I later found out that venue is notorious for awful sound, so the hall really makes a difference.
Bass is so out of tune👎
"There's too much band playing in tune out there" said Buzz once in a interview.
No it's really not
Tuning is for bands like maroon 5
Uh, yeah, no.
