Pretty cool. But for reasons that I'm sure are purely practical, a live version of that song just can't touch the texture and dissonance of the album version.

electro retard or honky?
I favor the drumming and guitar on electroretard but love the bass on the honky version.

This tour they opened for Tool. I don't think there is a second guitarist. Maynard, before the set, introduces Melvins as Grungebucket where he only mentions the brothers Dale, Goober and Gary.

But yeah, this version is all about the drums and Kevin's bass. I miss Kevin. :(

The show is originally in Flac format (287mb)

Intro by MJK
1 - Ballad of Dwight Fry
2- Ballad Outro
3 - Eye Flys
4 - Lovely Butterfly
5 - Tipping The Lion
6 - The Bit
7 - The Bloat
8 - Night Goat
9 - With Teeth
10 - Youth Of America

I could upload them all but I don't know how to do torrents, so I guess I could upload them one by one over a few days either flac or mp3. let me know if anyone else is interested too. It's my personal favourite live recording ever of any band. YOA version is incredible too.

Nope, it's just a live version of the Electroretard version.  The guitar is Buzz, the noise is Kevin doing slidebass stuff.  Like many stuff on HAT (I'm thinking of 1:00 into Dr. Geek) you can tell the noise parts are Kevin, 'cause when those parts kick in the low end drops out.

I think that's what you're hearing as the second guitarist.

Yes, that was my understanding too Stee. Just Kevin up to his old bass slide noise tricks again.

I'll upload the mp3's into a new thread in the music download sections from tomorrow night if anyone's interested.

I went outiside for a smoke when they played that song and it's my biggest regret to date.  I would've thrown the cigarette right on the ground and run inside but I was getting to know my friends new girlfriend and couldn't escape the small talk.  Why couldn't she talk during "The Bit" or some song which doesn't give me the musical horn.

:lol: that blows.
and a word of advice... get your smoking done when the opening band(s) are playing.
never go out for a smoke when the melvins are on stage! thats just.... insidious!

Well before the smoking ban I could happily smoke and watch a band.  Just goes to show how addictive they are that they come between me and the melvins.  I did bump into Dale though once during a smoke break which was a nice bonus.  I probably intimidated him though.  He looked confused.
