Just take note that Kurt Cobain played various instruments on Houdini before he ate a shotgun shell. Without the Melvins, a lot of the crazy shit we love may not have come around. Bullhead. Listen to it again. And then once more.
I have been listening to the Melvins for an hour whilst waking up. They are so heavy. I just weighed myself and I gained two pounds this past hour just listening to them, damn it
I can spot 100 music styles in this one. One of the most multigenre masterpiece and at the same time so extremely simple song without losing its identity.
I've only JUST been getting into Melvins. I'm an 80s and 90s kid and I just don't understand how they were not more popular than they were. I'm also a drummer who grew up in a house full of all kinds of music. I'm just loving the stuff they have put out. Man I wish I was on this train earlier lol
Bro, same here. I've heard of their name over the years but they never got much attention. One of the most underrated and underplayed rock bands in my opinion is Chevelle. Just a phenomenal hard hitting rock group that sounds as good live as in the studio.
1990 1991 was pivotal for a lot of us that were born in the late 70's. If you were into the grunge scene, you were at your local record store talking to some guy in his 40's recommending real imported music. I was born in the freedom of '76. 🤣
Brave Insanity to tell the truth, I've followed him all along the clip just for this clearness, precision and metronom timing that cought my attention!
Me too. I'm used to seeing him at full roar, but Its interesting to see him apply rudiments that most drummers don't bother to learn. Then use them to compliment a more subtile, restrained style.
You are so right. He does show up on a lot of best of lists but mostly nobody has idea who he is. His work on the Melvin s and Nirvana's early work is next level shit
I've got one of his sticks. It's incredibly girthy and its totally chewed from rim shots. One of the thickest drum sticks you can buy. @Scott Pierce, Dale plays on Raging Slabs "The Dealer" album too.
Yep. If by saying i Really like coming back to this one means I'm jumping on the band wagon, so be it...like a lot of folks, i've heard many bands and been to a lot concerts ...and then have also missed so many years of music. Love this song...Thank You Melvin's for so many Bad Ass years! Glad I had the opportunity to see them live a couple few times (so long ago). 🤘😘
Because Big Business are an amazing rhythm section. The real answer is to go and see the Melvins play as soon and as often as you can. They're one of the best live bands in the world right now I'd say and with Dale and Cody on drums they're amazing. Seen em about 5 times, and they never play a bad show.
Props. Had an ex girlfriend from SF kinda knew them, helped the load in from their van to the Casbah in San Diego to avoid the cover. Saved like 5 bucks they slammed thru ultra heavy loudness for 2 hours
I wish the Melvins would make a side project album of The Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia. I think they'd do it justice, even in old age. Lol. Respectfully
sheeeiiitt man. How did this get by me? I remember the melvins opened for primus, and i asked my friend "why is he singing with his back to us?" This is one of the most genuine bands out there. Longevity and real rock.
Lockdown? What was that? I must have missed it. I was never locked down, nor would I ever allow myself to be. Did you get several injections of untested, unapproved, experimental injections of mRNA spike protein to make it go away?
This looks like Melvins are cosplaying the Melvins.
Sashinka Sashev ha ha 😅
hehehee
They really are
LOLOLOL
Definitely into D&D
That drummer is using both hemispheres of his brain
I love Buzz and his Melvins.
+Buy me Skittles uff... buzz and his fucking melvins...
Buy me Skittles my name is pseudo science buzz saw, and these are my Milk Vans
Buy me Skittles how can anyone not? That’s the question. Weirdos? Oh no that’s what they call us.
20 years in the buzzin' melvin and skittall I got was these shineboxes
@@VLAD-yu6ul my name is crude appliance ruck-sack and these are my bell-ends.
I believe Melvins is thee most underrated musical rock metal pop bands in the entire history of mankind
Me too
no es metal ni pop xD

Dale Crover is seriously one of the best drummers ever
The audio on this is impeccable!! That bass sounds so full and rich!
It's amazing.
Don't touch my bass yo ... its perfect
Gad damn big bird
Every week, I binge watch some of my favorite live musical acts and this week, it's the Melvins and James Brown 😂
Dale Crover is criminally underrated.
There will never be another like him....sadly. Should be immortal
I bet Dale likes it that way
Just take note that Kurt Cobain played various instruments on Houdini before he ate a shotgun shell. Without the Melvins, a lot of the crazy shit we love may not have come around. Bullhead. Listen to it again. And then once more.
A-greed!
Agreed. He makes the drums practically sing the vocals, play the bass, the guitars: lead and rhythm!!
He’s always a great complement to each song.
I have been listening to the Melvins for an hour whilst waking up. They are so heavy. I just weighed myself and I gained two pounds this past hour just listening to them, damn it
Thats not how weight works my guy. Your weight is just fluctuating.
Maybe if you remove "the" and just properly call them "Melvins," the weight loss will happen.
@@kurtp8833 these replies are so heavy i sprained my ankle reading them, not really, cheers!
You are damn funny
Lol
Tight as HELL. This song can't be easy, but they certainly make it look that way.
This is a simple song dude.
@@craigmoran893 its simple in a way but its hard af to play if you play the drums, it sounds easier than it is.
@John M Very few can copy the unorthodoxy of this band in general but I agree.
@John M it's because Dale is one of the goats!!
This song has such a cool vibe it feels like it's happening underwater.
this is the music that would play if doom had a water level
Angelo B beautifully articulated
I was the 200th to agree,
basking in the glory of this groove…
@@jackburton3540 holy shit, doom needs a fucking water level! Fuckit put the slayer against Cthulu.
Or in crap
Love Dale's drumming on this. Not a beat out of place.
he is not even human
Its just called drumming 😃
And the drum level does not overpower the other players. That is what strikes me as brilliant here. So subtle, yet distinct. Just perfect!
This is Butthole Surfers, The Melvins, and Tomahawk rolled into one, and I love it! ♥️🌞
my first time hearing The Melvins....loved it!
I can spot 100 music styles in this one. One of the most multigenre masterpiece and at the same time so extremely simple song without losing its identity.
Well said.
So? I can turn cheesecake into poop
@@megatherion2695But you can't turn poop into cheesecake 😂😂
@@TheKeefmaster True
Terence Fletcher: "Are you rushing or are you dragging?"
Dale Crover: "Nope."
Dale is awesome
He is under rated as a drummer.
Nice reference
Dale probably would have mustered that guy
truth
And that's what happens when a drummer thinks outside the box.
I couldn't take my eyes away.
@Philip K Creativity, kid. Name ONE other fuckin' tune with that pattern. ffs
Hands down one of the most catchy songs ever written.
😂
ummmm not even top 1000 asfar as catchy songs go wtf are you talking about
let him cook
dale crover you fucking legend
I wish the studio version was played like this instead. Both versions are great. This one is better. Love the Melvins.
Some might like my 777 video better than the 666 videos, but no number is evil.
1000000000%agreed
100%agreed
Jaefar SABNW HAIL SATAN!!!🤘😁
The bassist’s forward thrust was really enjoyable the whole time.
Kevin rutmanis. He played for cows
And tomahawk
Kevin WEIRD but great stage presence
Indeed. Some very quality thrust work
ScotchAllenguarde saw cows at lollapalooza years ago

Always saw them come up, but never listened to 'em til recently, really wish I would've sooner. They are really good
Drummers rule
Listen to John Bohnam destroying his set in Led Zeppelins 'Achilles Last Stand'.
Mind blown
Also.. faith no more and anything Mike Patton check out.. he collaborated with Kevin Rutmanis (bass player) w tomahawk (god hates a coward)
I can't stop coming back to this
I cant stop coming to this
I LIKE DAT😁
Yo Ed whats up?
me either.. it's fucking phenomenal.
2020 in an airport. Love it
I hadn't heard this before. Love at first listen. Can't wait to hear this on headphones!
Precision drumming
Dale Crover is the man. His timings are insane.
Brave Insanity to tell the truth, I've followed him all along the clip just for this clearness, precision and metronom timing that cought my attention!
Me too. I'm used to seeing him at full roar, but Its interesting to see him apply rudiments that most drummers don't bother to learn. Then use them to compliment a more subtile, restrained style.
One of my favorite drummers, so versatile with perfect dynamics
Agreed :-)
The Melvins are always a treat, you never know what to expect!
This stripped down Melvins sound has my head reeling.It's like Buzz forgot a couple of pedals at home.
this sounds better than the album version!
For real its way better, totally agree. Kinda like how ministry's thieves sounds like bubblegum garbage compared to live track
8 years later I’ve come to tell you
You are correct!
Yup
Couldn’t be more true
Definitely
Yes finally a million views
Damn, I like Dale's drumming more and more each time I hear him handle the sticks.
DonJoe1776 and yet the majority of the free world knows not of his existence. He wipes the floor with most drummers
You are so right. He does show up on a lot of best of lists but mostly nobody has idea who he is. His work on the Melvin s and Nirvana's early work is next level shit
@@scottpierce68 Dont forget about Shrinebuilder, wish they would've some more material.
He uses the sticks to hit the drums
I've got one of his sticks. It's incredibly girthy and its totally chewed from rim shots. One of the thickest drum sticks you can buy. @Scott Pierce, Dale plays on Raging Slabs "The Dealer" album too.
No matter where I go I always come back to The Melvins
Man, theres something magical about this song.
The melvins are one of the best live bands ever. Their live stuff sounds just as good if not better than their studio recorded stuff.
Oh yeah and they're coming up!
Just them live this weekend for the 1st. Definitely a band that is meant to be experienced live.
Kevin Rutmanis owns the stash of gear and the groove!
can't...stop...listening....
Somehow the drummer steals the entire show, I feel like he invaded my soul, and I was smiling the whole time he did it.
Used to buy beer at the Thriftway Buzz worked at on the way to Westport. Wow I'm old.
screenflot was there a guy working there named Melvin?
screenflot Montesano
Ooooold
@@skymhook yes, his name was Melvin.
The past few weeks I watched this video at least twenty times. I think its brilliant and I like it!
bakplaat13 just cool music no pretentiousness.
Haha me too. It's infectious!
Yep. If by saying i Really like coming back to this one means I'm jumping on the band wagon, so be it...like a lot of folks, i've heard many bands and been to a lot concerts
...and then have also missed so many years of music.
Love this song...Thank You Melvin's for so many Bad Ass years! Glad I had the opportunity to see them live a couple few times (so long ago). 🤘😘
that signature rutmanis back-forth swaying always gets me.
Just smoked Durban Poison......
In the meditation position....
Loving the melvins for existing
😑
🐰👍
So much linear drumming, amazingly tight and consistent. 🔥🥁🔥

Gee! I really do like this song, and especially this version. It makes me smile broadly from ear to ear!!!
I wanna say I saw this video about 2 weeks ago and Ive watched it at least 20 times now. This shit just rocks🤘
iS ThIs wen?
This is, and shall forever remain, one of the greatest things I have ever seen+heard. Flawless.
Oh yeah man well said. Awesome video
all i ever needed from a band
Dale Crover is the God of drums.
Thank you Buzz and his Melvins!
Fan since gluey porch treatments. Roadie for one day in Lawrence Ks. Epic encounter.
Nice
Props. Had an ex girlfriend from SF kinda knew them, helped the load in from their van to the Casbah in San Diego to avoid the cover. Saved like 5 bucks they slammed thru ultra heavy loudness for 2 hours
Nice sparing use of cowbell. I personally don't need more cowbell.
That's because you don't have a fever. And that's good man. Stay healthy.
I thought I had cowbell fever...turns out it was corona...
Thank God!
@@bigbirdmusic8199 thank fuck for that, this guy needs a large double dose of Astra cowbell Zeneca!
The melvins are amazing.
Cant...stop...watching
Yeah me neither
Me either. 4 years later. Hehe
Catchy, bizarre and soothing
Wow.. That's really awesome!!!
The Melvins.. Great band.
I come back to this song over and over.
The algorithm knows me a little too well!! Awesome!!
I watch this at least once a week.
This is the true song , it was always live. Don't compare it to nothing shocking,bc that was only for that album. Both are grate.
Love this tune superb i watch this video a lot
The most beautiful band ever
Dale is one of the only drummers who can use a ribbon crasher well.
you just have to have no overdrive
Perfec conexion between Bass and Drums. Amazing song!
This is the production I want on all records
couldn't agree more...see the Melvins immediately - never to be disappointed!!
Dale Crover is absolutely one of the goats!!!!
The Melvins is what happens when you get a band and everybody is excellent
GOD I LOVE THIS.. second time I've heard the melvins.. how did I miss out just glad I found them
Now get to work... Form a band. Rock the world!!
@@swilkobarfingtoniii1642 the Melvins were the Velvet Underground of grunge in that everyone that saw them immediately went out and formed a band.
Great performance. Saw them live....awesome, can't wait to catch them again
I wish the Melvins would make a side project album of The Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia. I think they'd do it justice, even in old age. Lol. Respectfully
Best band ever and they keep just doing it year after year. Hostile Ambient Takeover is amazing.
still true 7 months on.
Something is so mesmerizing about this video. I always come back to it.
One of my favorite bands! Love it
Faith No More and Melvins are THE MOST influential bands since The Beatles.
PERIOD!!!!!
Shit ......
Bryce Thibodeaux id only agree with you on rhcp and butthole surfers - Janes addiction suck
Faith No More rules,
Incredible version!
The Sears Silvertone that Buzz is playing...Perfection!
This was easily my favorite song of theirs live. I could literally feel the sound waves on my body.
perfect drums , the melvins too
dale crover for lyfe
..or lyft?
Jay Kay Or Lefties
Beautiful, dont be afraid to be quiet and build slowly 🛸🦞🤙
I must have watched this 100 times because i click it every time its in my feed
smooth as a motherfuck
Magic
I
First time I've ever thought, "Listen to that f'n cowbell!"
Great performance! Thanks for posting this.
sheeeiiitt man. How did this get by me? I remember the melvins opened for primus, and i asked my friend "why is he singing with his back to us?" This is one of the most genuine bands out there. Longevity and real rock.
If we ever send a message into outer space this should be it.
always such a great sound they had....badass
This is wonderful!!!! Thank you!!!
Kick ass version
This is my favorite version of this song. So much better than the original studio version, in my opinion.
this should be the album version
@@criops So true. I have often said the same.
Same goes for Portishead's live downbeat version of Sour Times.
This has got to be the best performance once could ever see.
This is just the BEST music
Gotta Love the CowBell in this one!
See more at cowbellsongs.com
what a rad tune
The bass though..... I've watched this a hundred or more times
Great song. Saw them just before lockdown and they were fantastic. Go to a Melvins show, you'll be glad you did.
Lockdown? What was that? I must have missed it. I was never locked down, nor would I ever allow myself to be. Did you get several injections of untested, unapproved, experimental injections of mRNA spike protein to make it go away?
Fuck, I love this. Can really hear Melvin influence on Tomahawk/God hates a coward
well i think it's mainly that it's the same bassist
Hass Aface love the comment. haha
Hass Aface Bruv, he's wearing a wig. And I kinda enjoy the retarded moves, to be honest.
The guitarist is from Unwound, and the bassist is from the Cows. Two bands just as good as the Melvins.
Hell yeah. One of my favourites
I love this performance
