Melvins Discussion / Drawing with Skinner (w/Buzz)
May 29, 2017, 04:11:24 PM
For the uninitiated, Skinner does amazing artwork, and has done posters for many a Melvins tour. As well as a poster and hoodie for the doc. He's also a pretty cool weirdo.

Melvins Discussion / The Colossus of Destiny: A Melvins Tale
January 30, 2015, 07:59:04 PM
We are close to launching our Kickstarter for The Colossus of Destiny: A Melvins Tale. While we have a lot of great prizes lined up, we are interested in hearing what you guys would like to see offered. Keep in mind, we aren't asking for costs, we just want to know what you would be interested in seeing for prizes. Also keep in mind, a Kickstarter isn't a store. You get a prize (or multiple prizes) for contributing towards something that you want to see made, with the end goal being that the money is raised and the movie is made. We've been working on this for years. That doesn't mean it gets finished. There is a lot of work left to do, and we will need help doing it.
With that in mind, let's hear your ideas.

Melvins Discussion / Smellis
September 10, 2014, 05:01:11 PM
I hate to be the bearer of this news, but my/our longtime friend and board member passed away this morning after battling cancer.
Anyone that knew Bret knew he was a huge Melvins fan, and always right up in front of Buzz at any show he could make it to. Fan would be an understatement really, he was downright insanely enthusiastic about the band. Seeing him at a show and his excitement, you'd think every show was his first. I have known him pretty much since my first year on this board and always saw him at northwest shows. He was a damn good guy and I'm gonna miss him.
**I realize this isn't "Melvins" news, but Bret is pretty much an original to this board and many an old head here will know who he was. He deserves to have a thread here under Melvins discussion.
RIP Smellis.

Melvins Discussion / Buzz Osborne: The Top 5 People That Influenced My Career
June 30, 2014, 08:36:44 PM
http://www.tonedeaf.com.au/410253/buzz-osbornes-top-5-influences.htm
After a 31-year career in music with the Melvins, which has born over 30 albums of studio and live material, dozens of limited and highly limited 12-inch, 10-inch, and 7-inch records, and north of 2000 live performances Buzz Osborne, one of the founding members of the seminal band is now going solo and acoustic as King Buzzo, and he'll be visiting Australia for a national tour this August.
Buzz's solo endeavours make sense , after all, Buzz has written the vast majority of the Melvins' songs with a fair amount of them originally written on an acoustic guitar and then simply transferred to electric. This year Buzz released This Machine Kills Artists, an authentically acoustic album with no electric guitars, amplifiers or direct boxes used during the 17-track release's recording.
Seeing how influential Buzz and Melvins have been to many bands and artists (most famously Nirvana) we thought it'd be interesting to see who influences Buzz, and they're probably not who you'd expect.
Francis Bacon – Painter
"I really think his paintings are unbelievable. I think his work ethic was amazing, and I love the fact that he worked early in the morning 'til midday almost every single day. I like the fact that he lived very simply and devoted his time and energy to his work, and worked almost until he died. His subject matter is second to none.
The best kind of art makes you want to create your own art, and that makes me want to do something that has that kind of impact."
John Huston – Film Director
"He directed my favourite movie of all time, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), he also directed Fat City (1972) which is an amazing movie, he directed Wise Blood (1979), which I thought was also an amazing movie. He also directed The Misfits (1969), and Man Who Would Be King (1975).
He didn't really get famous until he was in his early 40s, and then he worked almost up until the day he died as well, I love that, I love people who do that sort of thing, I'm super excited about that kind of stuff. When he was about to die they asked him whether there was anything he wished he could do more and he said 'make another movie'.
You watch a movie like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and it's a perfect movie, I think it's the greatest movie ever made, it's better than anything else I've ever seen, I've watched it at least 100 times. He did so many different things, he made Annie (1982) the movie simply because he wanted to make a musical, he'd never done that before, and it was a success- that's insane. That kind of work ethic to me is second to none."
Pete Townsend – Musician
"He's a great songwriter, he wrote some of my favourite music. If I just look at one album in particular, which is The Who Sell Out (1967) – you know that's a weird album even by today's standards, when they did that in the 1960s everyone must have thought he was from fucking Mars. It's a phenomenal record, super weird and everything I love about music in general. It's strange and crazy and hard to deal with and exciting and fun.
I'm kind of disappointed with what he's done lately, but he did so much and I loved everything he did, almost everything I tend to give him a break- leave him alone and enjoy it for what it is.
Plus he did this record where he played live acoustic by himself, and I always remember that, somebody who I like so much was able to do that without question, and that stayed with me until I started doing that on my own. You realise [in relation to guitar and music] it's the indian, not the arrow. He's the man."
Flannery O'Connor – Writer
"She wrote Wise Blood (1952) which John Huston directed coincidently. She wrote all her amazing stuff and died at 39 years old, from lupus.
You look at a book like Wise Blood, even if you haven't read that book, you've got to understand – she wrote that before she was 21. She grew up in the deep south as a catholic, she makes you think 'where did this come from?' I'm absolutely stunned by her work, I went to her house where she wrote and it's like a little museum to her now, and I almost started crying, its so powerful to see this stuff, its hard to even think about.
Her books are so powerful and so amazing, and she didn't write that many in her short and tragic life, but I think her books are just unbelievable. It made me not be afraid to tackle things that are difficult. If she could do this while almost dying of lupus surely I can put my heart into something and try as hard as she did. She comes from the middle of nowhere shithole same as me, so that always gives me hope. You read a book like Wise Blood that and you're just blown away by how amazing it is."
Thomas Sowell – Philosopher
"I consider Sowell the greatest philosopher of all time. He is a PhD economist and he's written more than 30 books about everything you can imagine, from social; commentary to how economics works.
One of his greatest books was called Economic Fact And Fallacies (2008), you can also get the Thomas Sowell readers, they're great places to start. He's the first guy to explain to me how society works in conjunction with the government, or the government in general and how people think.
He's in his 80s now, he is the greatest philosopher of our time, without question. He's got a severe grasp of reality, he's a realist, and he's not taken in by a bunch of ideological bullshit and I love it. I just can't say enough about him.
He's given me a firm grasp on how the world works from an economists' standpoint. I don't make social commentary, this man does and this is the kind of guy I listen to. You should always question. He's a national treasure and no one gives a shit, but in my world nobody knows who he is."

August 17, 2013, 02:24:12 AM
Great show. First time seeing Honkey and the blew me away. They brought a friend out for a few songs. I don't recall his name, but he played some sort of fantastic looking les Paul and a banjo. Melvins were what they always are. Completely unparralled.
The usual suspects were all there. I didn't visit to much, I've felt like shit all day and I almost didn't go. I did see a guy whose name I don't recall get kicked out. I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd melvins show I've seen him get booted from. He might have seen a whole set if you put all 3 shows together. Nothingtothenotice might have a little more info.
Great night, I just wish I had felt better. Maybe tomorrow.
I just realized I typed all this and its in tomorrow's thread. Can a mod move it to the 16th thread? I can't, I'm on a dumbphone.

Melvins Album Discussion / Tres Cabrones
July 15, 2013, 04:37:11 PM
This quote from a recent interview with Buzz should answer a few questions.
"We have a new album. We're taking the songs from that Melvins 1983 EP and did more songs, and we're putting it out as an album in the fall with Ipecac. It's our original drummer, Dale [Crover] playing bass, and me playing guitar. It's called Tres Cabrones. "Tres Hombres" means "Three Men," but this is "Tres Cabrones" which basically means "Three Dumbasses."
