Hi guys and ladies. Please join my petition page to bring back Matt Lukin for one special night, to play a show with the Melvins. Maybe they can make up and become friends again!

NO.

Lukin doesn't look too healthy in that pic
I wonder if there are Melvins fans out there who insist that the proper band line up is Buzz, Matt and Mike? :o

That's the equivalent of thinking the Old Testament is relevant to modern day living.

More like cave paintings. :lol:
Have you ever seen what Matt says about Buzz and Dale? It'll never happen. Not to be a dick, but I don't think either of them would give a shit about a petition.

Come on people! We are almost there! Let us stand together and make this happen! This will be the greatest thing you will ever see on stage!

take your manlove for lukin to the mudhoney forum, if such an awful place even exists.
I hung out with Matt Friday night @ The Shipwreck Tavern in Seattle, It's really not as bad as Matt's Facebook makes it sound, but it still ain't gonna happen
did you guys drink beer and chat about framing?

That's a radical story Agonizer. He's a charismatic guy. And a great musician.
It will happen, though, gadzooks. Mark my words!
Not happening. If if does though... I'll let buzzo kick me in the nuts as hard as he can on stage...
Like somebody else said.. Take your shit to the mudhoney forum. No real fans of Matt here sir. sorry
Isn't there a melvins story out there that Matt Lukin basically sucked, was unable to keep up with the Melvins and threw his bass in hissy fits?
Anyway, how about a petition to bring back Kevin? I'll fuckin' sign that shit.
lukin?
random.
pass that rutmanis petition over.
pass that any bass player but matt lukin petition over.

My vote is for Mark D. 8)

and buzz and dale do?
Sorry but I just don't get the animosity toward Lukin, after all he was the original bass player and recorded two fine/excellent albums (6 Sons Ep and GPT).
I personally like each and every bass player the Melvins have had. I have seen all of them live with the Melvins with the exception of Joe Preston (not sure how I missed that).
It really doesn't matter though what WE all think. It really only matters what Buzz and Dale think and who they want to work with.

Typed like someone thinking for himself. If Buzz had spoken well of Matt over the years there would be a bunch of fans lining up to be the first to agree with him.
we're melvins geeks. we all have our stubborn opinions and favorite line ups.
Mints, buzz has made negative remarks about every "official" bass player for the melvins save j-rod. not yet at least.
matt lukin just sucks :lol:
you can't polish poo, mints.
mints
mints
mintsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss meat pie.
Uncle Fester just can't accept that Mints is right.
Bring back Lukin!
Uncle Fester is right. PROVE HIM WRONG.
I don't think Matt sucks, but I don't ever see this happening.

How? What is it that you're going after? I'm not denying you your opinion on his playing - it's just that you haven't mentioned it. You've just said that
he sucks. Do you honestly listen to 26 Songs or Gluey Porch Treamtments and think, "the bass player sucks"? If so, why?
Lets be serious. What could he add to the modern era of the band? He'd be drunk and sloppy.
Plus, they don't play very many of the songs he was on back in the day, they've moved on.
And he couldn't even hold up his end in Mudhoney so he quit. How relevant does that make him?
Not very. There's a reason why he's a labourer

fyi-
Matt is a real sweet guy.
He even asked me "how is Buzz doing?"

he played that opening riff to "eye flys", and played it well, so he's a-ok in my book.
they did stuff with dillard, so i suppose anything's possible musically, but then again buzz never fell out with dillard.
I have heard that he is a really nice guy. It would be nice to see him play bass in Melvins 1983. His playing is superb in my opinion on GPT, 6/8/10/26 Songs and the tunes on Deep Six.
The Melvins are always evolving, I love that. I was lucky enough to see the Matt / Buzz / Dale lineup live once. It changed my life.
He was great in Mudhoney as well.
I have heard through a friend that bought his bass cabinet from him the "Matt is just done with playing music".
Much respect to Matt, Buzz, Dale, Jared, Coady, Mike, Lori, Mark, Kevin and Joe. They all have filled my ears with great music. Life could be a lot worse.
Personally, I couldn't care less about Matt playing with the Melvins again. If I had a say in the bass player game I'd bring back Mark and Kevin for a week-long extravaganza. What I don't get is people whining about him without saying a single thing about his playing/the albums he was on. All I hear are people paraphrasing Buzz. Sycophants stink worse than dead ravens.
so why single out Matt Lukin? why not bring back Lori Black/Lorax? I am only kidding, I am happy with whatever bass player is cool and good enough to play in the band
Wasn't there something recently stating Lukin retired from music a few years back?
STATEMENT VOID. THREAD OVER. :lol:
and i heard he's gay. gay people suck!
oh no,
hes gay!? really?!
I guess I'll go burn my gluey porch vinyl now.
and then Ill fist some sheep.
right, brooklyn?

nobody cares, but for conversations sake.....
when someone says a bass player sucks I would imagine they are talking about his or her playing abilities. I dont care if matt lukin is a nice guy or a total asshole or if he literally sucks the cock.
while I listen tothe bass in 26 songs and gluey porch treatments I think "this bass player is just playing what he's told to play". those two albums are all about buzz and dale in my opinion.
thanks for reading, Mints.

There you go. You finally said something. It follows that you feel the same way about every album that came before Prick.

Nope. YOU just told ME. Read above. Use your good eye.

You said, while I listen tothe bass in 26 songs and gluey porch treatments I think "this bass player is just playing what he's told to play". That describes every bass player up to Mark, so it follows that you would feel the same way about them as you do about Matt. It's okay for me to say that.
Hey! I think the guy who started this thread was just fucking kidding. Obviously it won't happen. All the serious debate and fighting is funny though...

You're very defensive. The point you're responding to isn't one that I made. Again, Matt playing with the Melvins isn't the issue I addressed. You're ignoring the fact that Lori and Joe played what they were told to, just like Matt. If you like their sound better just say so. If you like their clothes better just say so. Anything would be better than trying to burn me for asking an honest question.

mints, you dont think the bass stands out more in ozma, bullhead and lysol?I think lori and joe contributed much more than matt ever did in my opinion. even if they are just playing what they are told to play, wich I dont beleive is
entirely true... they were still doing it better than lukin could. you cant deny lori plays the shit out of that bass in ozma.
I dont know wether to be flattered or annoyed that you are so persistent to know what I think

You're welcome to be flattered. I do care what you think. Only a few people offer any real thoughts about the music on this board -- that's not an insult, just an observation -- so I do pay attention when something comes up. That's all I was ever after in this thread.
I think the bass does stand out more on the albums you mentioned, but maybe due to the production rather than the playing. 26 Songs has a pretty audible bass sound, and I doubt anyone would be shocked if it suddenly came out that Lori or Joe was the actual player on there (hypothetically). I like Lori and Joe's playing as much as the next guy; I just doubt any Melvins fan listens to the albums Matt was on and thinks, "You know what sucks? The bass. Not the production -- the playing." I just don't see it, anymore than I see Mudhoney as "that band with the shitty bass player".

ahhh nothings better than talking melvins with a fellow nerd.
I know what you're saying. theres nothing wrong with the bass playing in glueyporch or 26. but when I say the bass stands out more in ozma etc... Im not talking about the way it sounds or how the album is produced. Ill use a few songs that lori plays on as examples... Vile, Anaconda, if I had an excorcism, revultion/we reach to name a few... these are songs she adds her touch to by adding in nice little fills. matt just plays what buzz is playing on the albums he's on.
hes just not very inventive or interesting to listen to in any band he was in. obviously this is all a matter of preference.
no hard feelings mints.
