yep.  by breathing a sigh of relief that the melvins are going to keep doing their own thing without tool being involved

didn't they cover a pussy galore song?

   It is very deserving of its own thread.  This song is a motherfucking monster.  Its pummeling, queasy and powerful.  This sounds like filth era swans fucking black sabbath.  No groove, all impact.    This is choking on your vomit while getting your head bashed in with a blunt object.

Wikipedia and Allmusic both list Dale as having passed through the ranks of the Obsessed at some point.  I vaguely recall reading somewhere that he drummed on the track Hiding Mask on Lunar Womb.  Anyone have any more info on this?

Have Dale or Buzz ever claimed to have been influenced by and/or fans of Big Black?  I remember reading some interview from the kevin era where Buzz said they liked albini until they found out he was talking shit about them.

I'm seriously depressed I can't make the philly show tonight, this tour sounds amazing.  I'm seeing Boris tomorrow but honestly I'd rather be at the Melvins show right now 

the drug thing sounds like it was a phase, maybe backlash from finally getting out of aberdeen

christ that sounds like an amazing show, great review

This thing is beautiful.  I can't wait for the new site to get up and running so I can buy one

Buzz seems very resistant to namedrop any current bands that claim to be influenced by them.  I wonder what he thinks of bands like Boris and Sunn.  He mentions how a lot of bands that cite the melvins as an influence only portray one aspect of their sound(probably the super heavy lumbering stuff) They ARE playing with Boris next month, and they seem to be more his speed, a band constantly trying new things.
