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..

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.

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.

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.

He plays in a seriously twisted blues style to make up for it though :)

Post by: Vcavallo on April 06, 2004, 11:38:17 PM
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)
