Let's discuss this song and why it's either great or not so great. Every week I will attempt to psot another random song from their catalog. The next song of the week will be posted 3/10. Hopefully this will be a good discussion. There are enough fans here that can contribute something to this. If the Melvins see this it would be cool to hear their comments on it???


I do know that there is a bootleg DVD show back in the Lori Black days floating around that features this song. I like the riff of this song quite a bit. I mess around with it on guitar from time to time.

[FartLips]

great fucking song. i have the d.g.f. vinyl.

[Dumpster D]

Isn't this one a clown alley cover?

or am I thinking of something else..again What are the A and B sides titled?

I'm not well off financially, or I would own everything by the melvins.

[Mad Arab]

I think the Bulls & the Bees will be included in this thread when it officially appears online. Not including the tracks that they treated us with so far. There has been enough discussion about those two tracks for the time being.

[TheSwingSet]

Fucking love this song....my old high school band back in '97 used to cover the fuck out of it! I was glad when it ended up on the Endless Boxset.

'Theme' is the Clown Alley cover. 'Euthanasia' is a Melvins original.

[pinkyslim]

wayyy heavy.

I likey.

[JUDY]

Super Heavy. I love finding hidden gems like this. Thanks for posting it.

I'd like to see some kind of Melvins Anthology, filled with demos and some of the rarer B sides.

I think the Bulls & the Bees will be included in this thread when it officially appears online.

WE ARE DOOMED.

Also, I like your Ultraman avatar.

[buddy holiday]

yeah fucking heavy song... wish hear it live once!
different versions are on dope guns n fucking in the streets vol 5 and the "yuthanagia" flexi.

[Illusionator]

The grinding groinal thrust of this sums up what got me into the band. Just so different and so right. Other bands may be heavy, others may be sludgy, but no-one else has that black planet rolling thru space momentum they generate, and the chorus counterpoints it beautifully. Great and a great idea for a thread - look forward to next week's song.

Also, I like your Ultraman avatar.

Seconded (the only tie I own is an Ultraman/Z-Ton tie  )

Yum!.. Always loved this song.. I was stoked when I realized it was on the Endless Residency set. It flows perfectly with the Bullhead set, and I think Jareds vocals sound great on it too (Wish I had one of those 7"'s)

[Rusty Shackleford]

A perfect early example of Dale's singing. 

Wasn't there a Peel Session version?

I wonder if Jonathan Burnside recorded it.

[Illusionator]

Thanks jonE5, it's been bugging me where I'd heard it recently as I don't own the 7"

[Dumpster D]

I could Tell you If Burnside Recorded it if only I had the $ to download this tune...I think I have it somewhere,I could tell you just by listening.  Someone here about 10 years ago gave me the password to access pretty much every melvins bootleg and rarity, I used to have free internet so I downloaded everything.
unfortunately I never saved the track lists other than my own memory.

bottom line is, Melvins fans here will HOOK YOUR ASS UP with MELVINS!


My old ipecac Unername Was "ElesDee"

So whoever it was that gave me the password ( I still remember it ) Thanks again Bigtime.

Melvins - Euthanasia 7"

Euthanasia is SUCH a great Melvins tune. 

Shamefully i'd forgot about it too.
