This is an excellent choice. His guitar work on this is stellar.

'The Bit' is also a good choice.

There's a video on YouTube where Mark posted in the comments how he wrote and played this guitar solo.

There's some good ones on Hold It In, I think that outro of maybe The Bunk Up is the one that has this sort of syncopated dissonant descending figure in the middle of it.

Also the song I was thinking about from Never Breathe was "Yuppie Cadillac" I suspect Buzz is doing a half jab at dad rock, but then once the solos are doubled into a stereo pair it ends up being quite enjoyable.

I thought that was dale

Actually I was thinking about the live version.

I primarily used this forum to become aware of solos in the first place, but the last 90 seconds or so of In The Freaktose The Bugs Are Dying is magic. I figure that one of 'em's Mark D, cause his ego was too goddamn big for his britches and he felt like he needed to do the solos, but it sounds like double guitar...maybe Buzz did the simpler parts? Not sure.

Outside of that, I think that Hund is tight as hell. There's this few seconds where he just goes at blistering lightspeed and it's really tight overall. Dr. Geek is also great for someone who typically never does finger-tapping, ever.

_{I couldn't identify a real "solo" in anything before Your Blessened, and Your Blessened's really doesn't sound like a solo to me. But, oh well.}

sounds more like a bunch of rockabilly shit jammed into a short space and kind of flubbed too. i recall a critic calling this a half-assed attempt at Revend Horton Heat.

listen to the difference between Mark D's lead parts and Buzz playing them later.

Interesting.  Thanks for posting that comparison Vince.

I have only recently been able to separate the contributions of Mark that I previously attributed to Buzz.

It's really too bad they had a falling out. Mark is amazing.

I know I watched that whole thing on YouTube where he explained who did what on Stag. But I don't recall him taking credit for the "Tipping the Lion" solos. Am I wrong?

[John Schuller]

Yeah, when musicians fall out - it sucks. Mark is a totally great guy, true sweetheart. Buzz is a totally great guy, a sweetheart as well. I'm guessing touring life made things hard between them - it can drive anyone crazy! The work that Mark did with the Melvins in my opinion is their most creative and solid. In a perfect world I would love for them to be able to bury the hatchet, but I also understand if they do not.
