do any of the members of the Melvins smoke? I've never seen pics of buzz with a cigarette in his hand before.
just curious
Dale does!
dale smokes camel shorts whenever i wanna convince myself its okay
to smoke i think dale does i know that because i talked to him while he
was in line at the convinence store but ive said to much already
in one of the pictures i think dale is holding a cigarette. but i don't think he's a chain-smoker though.
i just posted that just now because i just saw it in the new book about a minute ago. didn't mean to answer my own question, but you know.
I met Dale during a smoke at the Lobo Saloon in Seattle.
Yeah, I don't believe hes a chain smoker tho. He was smoking when I first met him last year tho.
i actually saw dale, in the flesh, smoking a cigarette after the coon rapids show. during the show buzz made a joke about it being a no smoking show then said how it was coming to mn (the whole EVIL, EVIL, EVIL no smoking in bars thing)
Preston smoked pot, aparently. Mind you, it's likely that most Melvins members have at least tasted it, methinks...
I wonder if any of them secretly wear thong.
yeah, maybe that can justify me wearing one...
It looks like Dale is more of a speedo kind of guy,
although this could be a thong back..I don't want to find
out myself.
(http://lazerman.bytehost.net/dale-2.gif)
nobody knows what hes got under there...
i like the fact that he doesnt care and wears his speedo and lets his beer belly freely flop. buzz said he is the most egoless drummer hes ever met
Well i remember reading a story on the internet somewheres about dale hitting a 3 foot bong or some shit like that. I'm guessing it would be tobacco, seeing as marijauan is still illegal.

Hush up you! Can't you see this thread has been hijacked!
I know we had a similiar thread a while back and supposedly Dale was a stoner back in the day. I doubt that he still is, if he ever was.
why not? my old mans 50 and he still smoke marijuanna
I only assume that because he just doesn't seem as "gone" as most stoners I know. And you always hear how anti-drug the Melvins are. Personally, I don't care if Dale's a pothead or not. He's an amazing drummer, and that's all that matters to me. Just as long as he does't get too messed up to put on a great performance.
i've never heard of them as anti-drug before, theyre
more anti-dumb drug user. theyve smelt of pot
at times so they must toke, and its no big deal really.

That sounds more like them.
*sigh*
I know this won't be anything new for anyone...
I mean, I duno, I knew buzz wasn't into cigarettes when I read an interveiw about him talking about everytime he's seen a picture of slash, there's a cigarette in his mouth, or someone else just like that who has obviously since died of lung cancer of whatever...
dale smoking is news to me though...
but walsby mentioned dale still parties...right?
dude, OF COURSE they smoke(d) pot...if dales' into cig's then yeah he probly will hoot a joint once in a while...WTF?
read the lyrics to LIZZY dude...that whole album was clouded in a haze of bong hits...FUCK.
I hear buzz doesn't drink anymore! thats good.
fuck...
as far as I'm concerned...they didn't name him BUZZ for nothing!!!!!!
I swear you guys...*shakes head* look at those album covers...only stoners would realize any true significance of the colour and subject matter...and especially the CONTEXT of the music itself, it's something subtle..NO WHERE
is it ever mentioned or apparently asked weather or not the melvins are (or were) a drug oriented project.
It's safe to say they aren't advertising to people to take dangerous mind alterting substances..
I mean thats GOOD...they are a POSITIVE influence, most kids should be thanking them for not being like that.
(I mean, making drugs seem cool and rebelious and whatnot, they have subtely managed to hint at the posibilities of imagination and creation without mentioning any inspirations such as LSD or the like, but anyone who knows where to look in the melvins albums can tell you there is evidence to support the consumption of weird shit.)
those guys got into some serious LSD at some point wayy back, ...seriously... COME ON!!!
...I mean just look how much their image and style SUDDENLY changed...this is just me personally but, i think it was..well...
It was either JOE or LORI...but somewhere in between those two, the melvins MUST have gotten into some wierd acid or something...I mean if you know ACID...you KNOW..
I'd say they have been humbled by a traumatic and huge life changing experiance (not to state the obvious about a certain skinny blonde rag-a-muffin)
nuff said there...
It's not like they are habitual druggies...in fact they could very well have gone that route...luckily buzz has a brain enough to consider and reflect on his experiances.
I'd like to think of them as being ENLIGHTNENED by some powerful esoterric/subconsious forces.
you can almost put your finger on when and where they had their "drug era"
but yeah, I see buzz as being smart enough to gain something positive and insightfull through a psychedellic experiance.
I dunno, I wanted to start this as a new post, i'm sure it's been posted, but I may as well and see?
there's a lot of enlightenment transferred through trying to interperate melvins and their imagery and meanings....for example, it's always something you have to actually really THINK about before you sometimes "get it"
like the live at the fucker club..there's a picture of a naked chick, with tazmania where the bush goes,...just think for a second...it's DOWN UNDER!
theres stuff like that you gotta look for.
Jared smokes.

Your high.
Ha Ha Idle that's awesome.
Actually I'm not high on drugs...I'm LOW on drugs...come on over and bring me a fresh bag and some rizlas..
Heheh ok man,. THIS IS FUNNY...
my post about talking with buzz and JARED giving me a dirty look....I forgot to mention that was also probly also due to the fact that after I talked to buzz...I found a nice cigarette butt by the loby door and KNEW jared was eyeballing me, and I kind of played it like I was oblivious..I picked it up and lit it and took a nice drag and looked over at him, he was still just staring right back still...just had this total look like "god damnit!"
my head was KILLING, that smoke kinda cooled me down a notch, nothing like a good butt eh?
but I think I kinda was like *nod* to him..like y'know...the cool "whats up" nod! agreeably a very powerful yet simple moment there for me.
my friends all remind me about that cuz I'm a dirty bastard like that...they laugh so hard at me for picking a butt up right in front of Jared!!!
OMG they laugh so bad..they know my true randyness.
that makes sense to me now, I've long since quit, but heh, if you saw the look in his eye....you'd laugh your ASSS off...
SO THATS WHAT THAT LOOK WAS!
there you go...just picturing that still gives me sort of a satisfaction in a way.
I remember Buzz made some comment about Eddie Van Halen getting tongue cancer, he said something like What do you expect he's been posing with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth for the last 20, 30 years.
Kevin smoked rollies I remember seeing that in a magazine, I've never witnessed any other members smoking so I can't say.
yeah, thats the one!
um, didn' mark always have a cigar in their photos for that matter?

Sorry Hanz, you do this on occasion. I let it pass but this time I can't let it slide. (the context of the statement)
I try to not be so anal about stuff but certain things
get to me...if you know what I mean.
Once again, sorry, I didn't want to turn this thread into a grammar lesson and I'm sorry to single you out.

Yes, I forgot ( or rather, didn't really care ) that it should have been you're. As in
you are. As in
you're right.
I've probably made some other grammatical error in this reply, but I'm ok with that. Don't let it ruin
your day, ok? :P
Ha Ha Idle thats awe sum.
yeah, didn't get a confirmation, but I saw Mr. Deutrom with a cigar in several photos.
does that count, or are we just talking cigarettes?
It's all tobacco. In the video for Queen isn't there a cigar smouldering in an ashtray?

Mark smoked Cohibas smuggled from England when he wasn't smoking pole.
Lorax smokes. Lukin, Ass, Jared too.
which hand?
:D
Melvins smoke lots of weed to this day.
Buzz by name, buzz by nature.
What about board members and cigarettes? I smoke about 20 Marlboro lights a day. How about you lot?

Way to stir the "pot" ha ha. Cheney Stadium kicks ass!!
Okay, I think this is accurate. Pieced together from knowing way-to-much grunge history and Melvins stuff:
Buzz: Smoked pot and cigarettes at the time the band first formed. (1) (2) No longer smokes cigarettes, don't know if he still smokes pot.
Dale: Smoked pot and cigarettes at the time the band first formed. (1) (2) Quit smoking cigarettes at some point in the early to mid 90's, and quit drinking alcohol, but still smoked cigars. (3) Apparently smokes cigarettes again, don't know if he drinks or if he smokes pot currently. (4)
Jared: Apparently smokes cigarettes. No hard evidence for anything else either way. (5)
Cody: Apparently does not smoke. No hard evidence for anything else either way. (5)
Former Melvins:
Lori: According to reports has used drugs (fairly heavily according to some reports) in some form, including, one assumes, pot. Smoked cigarettes at least at the time that Bullhead was released. (6)
Matt Lukin: Smoked cigarettes, and I think still does. Definitely smoked pot at some point. (7)
Mike Dillard: No idea.
Joe Preston: As far as I know, smokes pot and uses psychedelics.
Kevin Rutmanis: Fairly likely smokes pot, and reportedly used other drugs at least at some points.
Mark Deutrom: Definitely smokes cigars (3) (8)
Am I forgetting anyone? Do I care?
(1) Kurt Cobain met with Dale to discuss the plans for the Fecal Matter project "in an outdoor smoking area." The same book referred to Kurt bumming cigarettes off of Dale. Later in the same book, they talk about Kurt, Dale and Buzz smoking cigarettes outside a party and talking about music.
(2) Buzz references the band smoking pot in the liner notes for Mangled Demos.
(3) Per an article/interview around the time of Stag, it was stated that at least at the time, neither Buzz nor Dale drank, but that Dale and Mark Deutrom smoked cigars.
4) Wasn't he married to the lead singer of Acid King for a while? I think that probably says something.
5) I've only recently started to get into Big Business, so I really don't know that much about them.
6) I saw a set of photos that were from the same set as the one that was used for the interior picture of Bullhead. In one of them, if I remember correctly, Lorax had a cigarette in her hand.
7) I remember an interview in which it was mentioned that at some point, everyone in TAD and everyone in Mudhoney were smoking pot together before a show.
8) Additionally, Mark Deutrom lights and smokes a cigar in the video for "Queen."

I'd love to be able to just smoke a small amount like you. How do you do it? I have 3 with my breakfast usually.
I've never smoked. If it wasnt for the Potteries being a kind of dusty, dirty place i'd say that my lungs must be cleaner than a NASA lab. :D

Is it still a dusty, dirty place? Are the kilns still working?
I used to smoke. Lost interest when I stopped enjoying them. Now I hate it. Had a smoker stay with me recently. Made me realise how glad I am that I stopped.
Used to smoke dope with friends when I had friends who smoked dope. Don't miss it really, although I had fun at the time.

So so. Like most places there are the nicer areas and the not so pleasent areas. There's a good few pot banks still around gathering dust or serving as a monument to times past. As for the kilns the pottery business has been on the slide for years but there are a few places still producing ceramics.

never been a heavy smoker...i can't explain how i do.i can say for sure that i really enjoy smoking, especially when i drink and after breakfast/dinner. smoking too much makes me want to throw up though
ps: i also quit smoking pot a few years ago.
Well, what the heck, since people are actually answering.
I smoke about a pack give or take of whatever cheap light 100's I can find. I used to smoke Marlboro Light 100's, but they're too damn expensive. Most often Classics or Sandia, Maverick, Pall Mall, and Silver Cloud in descending order.
I had some Russian Marlboro Lights a while back, and liked them. Probably have to get some again. Of course, in Soviet Russia, Marlboro Lights smoke me.
As far as whether or not I smoke pot, I will leave that up to debate.
OF course, I will remind you that I once ranted about people who think Buzz Osbourne is a jukebox, and have remarked how because my phone rings with the exact same tone as the "ringing phone" sample in "The Bloated Pope," I sometimes think people are calling me when I listen to POTRE.
