More of my private shame revealed. I saw nothing with covering my naked self in garlic bomb burgers and proclaiming the word of gawd from the trough in the men's room.

Neil hasn't put out a full album approaching "good" in 20 years. And the recent ones most heralded, Le Noise and Psychedelic PIll are fucking turds, overbaked hippie nostalgia bullshit.

Melvins Discussion / Re: If they ever play another song from Gluey Porch Treatments
« on: February 14, 2013, 03:46:49 PM »I always thought they were a big rip-off of L.A. Punk until I heard OZMA!! I have been a hard, and fast fan ever since!! Gluey Porch Treatments is also one of my favorites. It's so good in fact, that it has been bootlegged and re-released in huge quantity. The boot is so good, that it's hard to differentiate the two. The original reads "Made in France" in the bottom right corner on the back cover. Also on the label.
Vive le Rawk!!
Just curious about what would have you thinking they were a rip-off of L.A. Punk (unless that's the name of a band I've never heard of) until you heard Ozma. What had you heard before Ozma?
Some singles. Probably. There were a few things out there. I don't think I heard Gluey Porch Treatments until I started going backwards from OZMA. Most of their earliest stuff was pretty derivative...
I guess people hear what they hear, but what exactly do you mean by derivative LA Punk? Are we talking Germs? Black Flag? The very earliest stuff, which did not receive wide release until the 2000's sounds musically a lot more like Void or early Poison Idea. Once they started slowing down I would say that some Black Flag was definitely an influence, but they grooved a bit more like Flipper, who were from SF, and also sounded a lot like some of the slower Necros stuff. Without a doubt GPT was when Melvins fully made their own sound, but they were certainly their own hybrid when they still a hardcore band.

I find that broadening one's bigotry is a real diminishing returns dilemma.

Brian is a good god fearing man who will not let such profanity pass his lips. Unless you get him talking about the Finnish, those rants would make a sailor blush. His level of bigotry is really surprising considering how politically correct he is the rest of the time.

My Lysol book fell apart 3 years ago amidst personal turmoil and after the proposal ultimately not getting accepted by Continuum publishing. I may still resurrect it someday in some form. The Rocco's Adventure thing was definitely very well done and worth reading.

Seriously now, Justice is a great album. Black Album was the first misstep. Then I ignore everything until Death Magnetic which is really good aside from a few moments. And this wasn't just any crowd, this was like 100,000 people, it did not go well.
