Buzzo on a Gibson J-45 an Dale on a single floor tom.

Zodiac

Certainly THIS tho!

Going the album route, The Maggot gone acoustic would be interesting.

Deep down I really wish Melvins did a whole album like bootlicker again, but more like Prig and some horns and piano thrown in for good measure.
Reckon it would be interesting and it'd piss a lot of people off which would be even funnier.

I always thought Melvins acoustic would sound like Bob Logg if they played the faster ones.

If I'm not mistaken Glen posted something like this in the past...


First, watch this video:

Ronnie Johns - Chopper - Harden the Fuck Up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unkIVvjZc9Y#ws)

And then read this:

"This is .... and he thinks the Melvins should go acoustic."

I have much the same wish, in terms of both substance and effect.

Not a big fan of the word...but Melvins Lite should do an acoustic album with piano, horns and double bass. Would be good. Maybe through in the Virus again for good measure.

King Buzzo, I'm laying down the challenge to you. A Melvins album without traditional Melvins equipment.  8)

PS Keep the drums though.

PPS Keep the guitar as well.

I just logged on to ask if Prig has ever been played live?  Obviously this - the latter portion anyway -  is an acoustic track. 

No other suggestions to contribute at the moment.  Will have to think about it.

Prig is a obvious/great choice....especially for a set closer.

My votes would be for:

Annum
Let it all Be
Shevil
Lizzy
and even Hooch!

I forgot about that last part of prig.
The only other song I can think of that has an acoustic guitar is the "Today your love, tomorrow the world" cover.

Are there any others I'm missing?
