Melvins Discussion / DOD Buzz Box

« on: April 08, 2004, 08:23:09 PM »

it creates squarewaves.  soundwaves naturally slope so the speaker gradually pushes in and out.  with a squarewave, its telling the speaker to instantly be in one place and then in another with no gradual movement.  that can be REALLY  bad for the speaker.  you will blow your shit up.  and it hails satan.

Wow thanks for the info. Where did you find about that?

this info came in the manual with the box. a friend of mine bought it new.

WHAT MAKES ME REALLY SAD IS THAT THE ONLY BAND IN THE INDUSTRY THAT HAS GIVEN THEM ANY KIND OF PRAISE IS NIRVANA. i WAS NOT A HUGE FAN OF NIRVANA BUT I RESPECTED THEM. THEY MENTIONED THE MELVINS MANY TIMES IN INTERVIEWS.

tool praises melvins as well.
in fact go check out the news at  http://www.toolband.com right now there should be something about the melvins on there.

soundgarden loves to talk about the melvins, and i've read a few times where pantera consider melvins a big influence. i think they are listed in their thank lists on on of their first albums.

This is a paragraph. Paragraph's are used for dividing sentences into legible sections so that the reader can concentrate on what is being said without it all just amassing into one big, long bunch of words like this is becoming.
This is another paragraph.

a couple things on the DOD buzz box.  yes it was created on the influence of buzz osborne but buzz had nothing to do with it.  that was in an article in some guitar mag interviewing buzz.  he had one and he said it sucked.  he did use it on the noise track on stoner witch(i forget the name)  the other thing is be careful with the buzz box.  it creates squarewaves.  soundwaves naturally slope so the speaker gradually pushes in and out.  with a squarewave, its telling the speaker to instantly be in one place and then in another with no gradual movement.  that can be REALLY  bad for the speaker.  you will blow your shit up.  and it hails satan.

although ozma is my favorite, stoner witch is the heaviest sounding as far as mixing goes.

mark's a jetsetter cause his wife is super-rich and they live in a castle.  but he's a dickmunch too.  buzz has a lot of bad luck with bass players. i hope he doesn't have the same with kevin.

Melvins Discussion / Melvins and artsy fartsy crap

« on: April 06, 2004, 10:01:04 PM »

well i've seen them 8 or 9 times thru three different bassists
going back about 12 years now and you pick up things.
i've seen them with joe, mark d and two shows with kevin.
so the only constants are  buzz and dale, and since dale's
behind the kit i watch buzzo the closest, and he smirks
and shoots a knowing glance to familiar faces all the time.
at least it seems to me he does.

what anaconda says is true.  they love suckups.  a dirty little secret.  just don't call them on it.  maybe not every suckup.

btw i'm a suckup.

Melvins Show Reviews / old shows

« on: April 04, 2004, 03:40:58 PM »

i'm new here but have been a fan of the melvins a bandmate introduced me to gluey in 89'.  i was fully initiated on march 30th 1990 when the melvins played in nashville for the first time opening for F.U.C.T. a local band that begged the melvins to play there.  dale came out first and played for 5 minutes by himself.  then the bass player(it didn't look like joe,  lorax was out the door)  then buzz.  unfortunately the show was marred by numerous breakdowns of buzz's amp.  he was pimpin' though that night, wearing big gold medallions and a superfly polyester shrt unbuttoned halfway down.  all of dale's cymbals were broken.  but it was the heaviest sound i ever heard.  i couldn't tell you which songs were played cause i wasn't familiar with the titles back then.  probably seen them 8-9 times now and they are the GREATEST band on earth.

Melvins Show Reviews / Re: Seattle Celebrates - 20 Years of the melvins!

No melvins cd's for sale at the show (except for the one in the book)  cool poster ,  4 different T-shirts, but not the Classic Melvin's Army T i was looking for.  I think there is an issue with Kiss about that shirt, but somebody does sell them at a website I hooked up with from here (main page) but the logo is on the back now, oh well.  Sorry no setlist - and no Beto, i'm not a Taper.  Cheers

the melvins will occasionaly make 20-30 shirts just before a show for some extra cash.  they can't sell them online or they will be sued.
