Does he use a pick or does he pluck the strings? ( i never saw the melvins live)
any slap bass?
he fucking abuses it!!! he uses his fingers mostly, sometimes a pick
and different slides, tons of distortion and lots of pedal effects, lots of
open strings ringing and feeding back beneath too, etc..
and he always seems to be doing a st. vitus dance.
i always see him use a pic. i love his bass that he had custom made. i dont know what st. vitus is, but i know what you mean by the rocking motion he does when he plays, i play the bass and i cant seem to do it without losing my balance
Kevin really is the strangest man, isn't he? He looks quite odd in the flesh but is polite and shy, and then his bass humping and pick slamming shouldn't work but they do...a man of mystery indeed.
i really love when Kevin drags the nose of his bass around the floor, hunches over and sort of limps around behind it. he looks really demented. i also like when he gives me the evil eye and then blows a kiss. he makes some weird faces up there..to the audience and to the other melvs. i love him just as much as buzz and dale.
he fits in just perfect, he`s like the melvins long lost brother :)
exactly
Has anyone seen him in the Cows? I never got the chance to see them live.
nope. i live in ohio, and i'm not sure if the cows ever played there, but if they did, it wouldn't have known about it since i haven't really heard of the cows until after they broke up.

i'm feeling your leg. i'm creepy like that. ssssssssssssnake :lol:
I saw him in the cows... He does that crazy rocking dance.

the cows were all freaks. everyone in that band all looked like they slept on one side of their face for about 10 years. they sure do rock though.
ha... in that case I'd fit in The Cows perfectly!
There guitar player Thor looked pretty damn normal though!

He plays in a seriously twisted blues style to make up for it though :)
i've got the videos for the cows "sugartorch" and "mine" on vhs, if anyone has anything worth trading, i'll get off my ass put em' on my computer to trade via interweb, okay?
could you send the videos this way melvinsarmy? i may have something worth your while to trade
melvinsarmy... I have king crimson concerts from the 80's downloading now. Video that is. I also have a full heroine sheiks concert video. At least put em up and get em to anyone who will upload them via soulseek.
Also do you have any other Amprep band's music videos???
holy fuck, where were you guys when i was asking for Cows videos???
please share! :D
It's a frenzy in here! Damn I wet myself with glee. :lol:
in the aftermath of all this Cows talk, i was wondering, what would be the best first-time Cows album???
pig in zen minor is the one that buzz produced and did
some guitar on
sexy pee story is interesting i hear
and the buzz-produced one is good,
its a tossup between sexy pee story and cunning stunts but my wife swears by whorn. and melvinsarmy are you putting those vids on soulseek cause i would LOVE to get those. the cows FUCKING ROCK!!!!
isnt the one that buzz produced called sorry in pig minor
i will be getting some new cows also, im hoping to order cunning stunts
it is sorry in pig minor. i have it and it is a good album. i think whoever that was, was confusing pigs in zen and sorry in pig minor (perhaps purposefully)
Im currently making a Cows fanpage sort of thing, so anyone who got pics and stuff tell me :)
It will be up as soon as I have less schoolwork
