Melvins - Euthanasia 7" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSUpL2D6agw#)
Melvins - Tanx
Label: Power-Fist Record Co., Power-Fist Record Co.
Catalog#: P.F. 41302 CRO-MO., P.F.-41302
Format: Vinyl, 7", EP, Unofficial Release
Country: US
Released: 1991
Let's discuss this song and why it's either great or not so great. Every week I will attempt to psot another random song from their catalog. The next song of the week will be posted 3/10. Hopefully this will be a good discussion. There are enough fans here that can contribute something to this. If the Melvins see this it would be cool to hear their comments on it???
I do know that there is a bootleg DVD show back in the Lori Black days floating around that features this song. I like the riff of this song quite a bit. I mess around with it on guitar from time to time.
great fucking song. i have the d.g.f. vinyl.
Isn't this one a clown alley cover?
or am I thinking of something else..again What are the A and B sides titled?
I'm not well off financially, or I would own everything by the melvins.
I think the Bulls & the Bees will be included in this thread when it officially appears online. Not including the tracks that they treated us with so far. There has been enough discussion about those two tracks for the time being.
Fucking love this song....my old high school band back in '97 used to cover the fuck out of it! I was glad when it ended up on the Endless Boxset.

'Theme' is the Clown Alley cover. 'Euthanasia' is a Melvins original.
wayyy heavy.
I likey.
Super Heavy. I love finding hidden gems like this. Thanks for posting it.
I'd like to see some kind of Melvins Anthology, filled with demos and some of the rarer B sides.

WE ARE DOOMED.
Also, I like your Ultraman avatar.
yeah fucking heavy song... wish hear it live once!
different versions are on dope guns n fucking in the streets vol 5 and the "yuthanagia" flexi.
The grinding groinal thrust of this sums up what got me into the band. Just so different and so right. Other bands may be heavy, others may be sludgy, but no-one else has that black planet rolling thru space momentum they generate, and the chorus counterpoints it beautifully. Great and a great idea for a thread - look forward to next week's song.

Seconded (the only tie I own is an Ultraman/Z-Ton tie :lol:)
Yum!.. Always loved this song.. I was stoked when I realized it was on the Endless Residency set. It flows perfectly with the Bullhead set, and I think Jareds vocals sound great on it too (Wish I had one of those 7"'s)
A perfect early example of Dale's singing.
Wasn't there a Peel Session version?
I wonder if Jonathan Burnside recorded it.

Thanks jonE5, it's been bugging me where I'd heard it recently as I don't own the 7"
I could Tell you If Burnside Recorded it if only I had the $ to download this tune...I think I have it somewhere,I could tell you just by listening. Someone here about 10 years ago gave me the password to access pretty much every melvins bootleg and rarity, I used to have free internet so I downloaded everything.
unfortunately I never saved the track lists other than my own memory.
bottom line is, Melvins fans here will HOOK YOUR ASS UP with MELVINS!
My old ipecac Unername Was "ElesDee"
So whoever it was that gave me the password ( I still remember it ) Thanks again Bigtime.

I really hate wearing ties. So people have to force me to wear one... and now those who know me know what that means - the Ultra-tie.
So they generally don't bother now, so everyone's reasonably happy :lol:
easily one of my favorite songs, very much in the vein of their covers of "theme", "sacrifice", "way of the world" * (all part of that same peel session)... what seems at first a very simple riff is in fact a powerful and emotive one. where gluey and ozma still showcased the melvins as a slow-fast-slow odd time-sig power chord riffing monster with serious ass-kicking goofball drumming, this ("bullhead") era sees them exercising buzz's "songwriter's" side (anaconda, exorcism.. a.k.a. how to make the minimum maximum). lorax adds that deep, heavy aspect while dale keeps the song running and groovin'.
* and "love canal" and "someday".

Melvins at their VERY best, you feel you are bombarded with everything you like of the heavier side of music with this track. No one is even near them on this one.
love Jared vocals on Euthanasia during one of those endless residency shows

Wonder why this never made it on to Bullhead?
First time I heard it was on the salad of a thousand delights dvd. This is a great black flag/sabbath mesh I've always thought....revulsion too. They lyrically seem to be more in the flag vein though.
This is in the top 15 of melvins best songs.
Can't wait to see what's next.
Ok, the week is going by way too slowly, maybe you need to make this a "melvins Song of the DAY" if not melvins song of the hour.
Melvins - Honky - 02 - Mombius Hibachi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2QLYuLUbpQ#ws)
Here is the next song of the week! In my opinion this is one of the highlights of the experimental/weird and cool album Honky.
Label:
Amphetamine Reptile Records
ok i was young when i first heard this album, this was the only song my mind could comprehend (at that time) and i loved it , so it was always the song on that album i went back to, also prohibiting me to further explore the rest of the album, but when the time came that my mind was able to open up enough to absorb this album , i was changed
I STILL haven't given this album the proper attention it deserves. I know i should tho. Probably my least played Melvins conventional album.
Honky live 2013
Stag live 2013
thanks a lot
to me the best song on honky is grin.......great bass line.....monbious is an awesome song too....heavy and all over the place......

Right there with ya.
I can't speak for parentheses guy but I guess I'm less of a fan of the avant-garde/sound-noise stuff. So...Pigs, CofD and Honky are the least listened to for me.
I think its really cool that flutter nut and others dig Honky. I feel like I'm missing out on something special and I only have myself to blame for not giving it a proper listen. It's just not the style of melvins I prefer...?
But this song is gold! I like the loud-quiet dynamic, the vocals, lyrics. I like the Fantomas' version too.

Same here.
Honky is amazing. A Melvins album that didn't get my proper attention until not too long ago. I see where you're coming from, Homeless_dad, but I most definitely wouldn't call it avante-garde in comparison to POTRE or COD. It's weird, yeah....but that's just a Melvins requirement.
Mombius is good heavy-Melvins. Love the bass line.... and the crazy drums....

Go ahead. I got 4 mini melvins with super soakers who got my back.
I vouch The song of this week be "Your Blessened"
sounds great to me....great song....love the ending.....great break down and rhythem
Newest song of the week:
Melvins - The Bloat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rcT5wGV1NE#)
This song reeks of awesomeness. It's all about the bass on this dandy of a song. Stag happens to be my favorite Melvins album and this song is one of the reasons why.
Enjoy.
Ah a great song from one of my favourite Melvins albums. The Unsane cover isn't half bad either.

Euthanasia is SUCH a great Melvins tune. =D>
MELVINS - Euthanasia (live in Chicago, 1992) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOpSDUsO-wk#)
I need a road case for my amp heads like that!
I'll just build one. :D
nice... the bloat is sucha juicy track.
The bloat-
Probably the first time (and last?) that Buzz uses a slide on his guitar for a recording.
I'm glad Mark D played bass on this one. I think he has been their best bassist and this song exemplifies his style. It's not a complicated bass line to play. Any of their bassists could play it. But Mark does it best.
Lyrics are cool. What they're about is anybody's guess as usual.
I love when melvins songs seem to end in random places. This is a good example with Dale hitting the high-hat (or whatever it is) over a few times and you either think it might lead to another part in the song or the less-than-average listener might feel a little uncomfortable with it and question why that part was left in the song as if they forgot to hit the stop button during recording. There are no accidents with the melvins. But then it ends somewhat randomly.
There's my 2 cents...
who's got a decent photo of Dales home made Bike-spoke thingy? HD I think that's what you want to look into!
and he's got the "ICE Bell" I should have stolen the one from my highschool music dept. when I had the chance to.
also, anyone know what that Buzzing sound is on the drums at the end of Bullhead? the cymbal sounds like it's vibrating and making a weird Pang' attack with a longer Buzzy sounding decay on a couple of hits only, pretty cool and I can't seem to put my finger on it.
sounds like two cymbals on top of one another, but probly wrong on all counts hee..
what you're hearing at the end of the bloat is a ribbon crasher.
i used to have one but i gave it up to a certain special drummer who we are all fond of.
as for the cymbal effects throughout bullhead i have no idea... its either some weird purcussion creation made by pete englehart or its a studio effect.
check out some of the stuff he has made... http://www.peteengelhart.com/pages/instruments.html (http://www.peteengelhart.com/pages/instruments.html)
I know coady and dale use some of his metal percussion stuff.

I gave it to Buzz when he was on stage setting up before the show, thinking that would be my only chance. I just told him I had brought it for dale. Buzz was very enthusiastic and thankful.
I saw Dale right after when I went out for a cigarette I kind of stopped him as he was walking and told him there is a ribbon crasher waiting for him with Buzz. He looked confused and weirded out by me but surprised at the same time and said something like "oh, really? cool." and kept walking. I can't blame him, I kind of interrupted him I guess. :lol: either that or he really wanted to get to the ribbon crasher.

I dont mean to be a know it all but mark D's bass was a PRECISION bass.
and kevins double horn sparkle basses are custom made by some guitar shop in van nuys, ca
i forgot their names... they order nuts and saddles from my work.
I never noticed it was a P bass, I guess mark is just a small guy?
That explains a lot, you sure he strictly was a P bass guy? I SWORE he'd used plenty of different guitars.
and I guess KEVINS custom bass wouldnt' have the tuning issues.
What about Jared, he's got a Fender Jazz then right?

Mark primarily used a p bass... at least with the melvins he did.
y'see?

Personally I find the P bass a little lighter and thin crispy, not my favourite player but good for beating the living shit outta, They spring back to life and are pretty classic. good for newbies and if you want to get REALLY good in a hurry, practice on a P bass.
you can't beat the balls of a JAZZ bazz.
I always liked the p bass sound on the albums with mark. punchy and growly with plenty of low end. the live sound too (from what i can hear from youtube videos)

Someone here, on the forum, had a bass guitar similar to Kevin's that was made by the same place. I think the forum member's had different pickups than Kevin's.
i think dc bought one of those,not sure
Tom Petty played one very similar in the Traveling Wilbury's

i got a squire from buddy for $50 i think it's one of the best sounding and playing basses i have ever played, it's been banged tossed kicked dropped and it still kicks ass
i've always had trouble with squires and epiphones sounding too thin or muddy.. and the electronics too. a rickenbacker solved all my problems. wish i had a p bass as well.

I'm still not massively sure which bits are Lustmord or what he adds to this
Same here. Buzz did say that people get it wrong and that the parts they think are Lustmord aren't necessarily him and vice versa. Some bits that sound like guitar
could be Lustmord!! :o
Whatever bits the Melvins or Lustmord did on the album, overall it is a brilliant album, one of my top 5 anyways.

i think dc bought one of those,not sure
NOPE I bought one from some dude on the internet that seemed legit, but that thing was about as well put together as a retired whores plumbing. Paid about 4 hundy for it, then dropped another 2 hundy to get it worked on, then tried to fix the pickup situation myself. It currently resides at my exes dad's house. Thanks for reminding me I need to send the fuckstick that made the damn thing some hatemail.
The song of the week is 'See How Pretty, See How Smart' from The Maggot. One of the heaviest and crushing songs they have in their catalog. I love this fanmade video.
The Melvins See How Pretty, See How Smart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIlgMRWJoX8#ws)
Amazing ending to an amazing album, I would kill to see them playing this tune live
Agreed. One of my all time favourite Melvins tunes. This, and Charmicarmicat compete in being among the heaviest they have ever written. And I just LOVE how it ends with the jingle bells. Such a gentle touch to one of their most skull crushing songs.
Missed last weeks song. Once, a friend used THE BLOATED POPE to lure me into their car after a night of heavy drinking. I was prepared to walk home, but that was what made me agree to get in and get a ride...which was smart.
Melvins are like candy.
kevin shines on this song.
This thread is great... Im still waiting for a certain song, hopefully it makes the rotation. :D

Melvins - Manky / See How Pretty See How Smart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-fNLdrKkdc#)
Mesmerizing.
The song is relatively new to me as I got the maggot maybe a year ago. It's a great song. I really like the title. "See how pretty, See how smart" not sure what it means or what's being described but it fits the song perfectly in an unsettling way.
The title makes me think of a young female overachiever who's not what she seems. She comes across sweet and innocent but something in your gut tells you she has a hidden darkside no one knows about. Like she has a secret place where shetortures puppies or something and has no reguard for life. A total psychopath.
Anybody know where the title comes from?

See How Pretty, See How Smart, indeed a killer tune & indeed Kevin does shine ... love the bass line in this one. They should add it into the sets again; saw them do it live a couple times on the 1999 tour (pre-mummu days). Absolutely crushing and gross!!
There is a great version on the Euclid Tavern, Cleveland, OH. 1999-07-21 DVD ... I can't up vids ... but someone should ... 'cause it probably make ya wet yourself ... its that good!

Agreed....i am actually getting married to a girl i've known for 13 years and took to her first string of Melvins shows down here in NC...
Melvins - At the stake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIo3ve1UhsM#)
From Stoner Witch. An awesome song and highlight of the entire album. At the Stake: the newest Melvins song of the week!
One of the few songs that I'd prefer to hear from the album rather than live. The production on this song is top notch. I've mentioned this in an earlier post but the "ooO00ooOO000ooo00O" (thanks Dump) sound adds so much to the eerie nature of the song. It's just hard to hear it live w/o that sound.
Lyrics are cool too!
I agree. This song is much better on the album.
Ahhh, yes.... The sea-change moment of STONER WITCH. I remember tuning in for the first time and being so confused by that curve ball that had just been thrown at my face....
The first half of the album hit so hard-but the real weirdness began with that track.
So. Slow. So. Heavy.
Quote from: JUDY on April 19, 2012, 06:29:13 PM

I know what you mean but it was actually Roadbull (second half of) that gave me that feeling on my first listen!
But yes we're talking about At The Stake here and my oh my does it rule. In the top 5, upper echelon of Melvins songs to date.
At the Stake can be summed up with one simple word: INDEED!
I think this track sums up why the Melvins can never have mainstream success. I like this album, but it's a real mixed beast (mentioned loads of times before), for me Stoner Witch starts off as their most mainstream, maybe commercial album, and this track is the point (arguably) that they get bored with that and crack open a tin of "fuckyyouthisisourmusic", and play stuff for reasons other than commercial consideration. It's why I love therm even when I don't actually like what they've done. It's the fact that it's honest, and driven by "this is what we want our band to sound like" rather than "this'll sell", that makes them so damn loveable.
Melvins - The Bootlicker - 07 - Jew Boy Flower Head (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NmG_uUGzY0#ws)
From the Bootlicker album comes Jew Boy Flower Head. It is the new Melvins song of the week!
Bootlicker's top notch from the awesome title on down ... overall I hear a real Residents vibe on that album; a good vibe to ride for sure.
Not my favorite song in this set; but one of them ... I dig its' solitude. Real airy and spacious, thou somehow still tight and tense. What's Buzz singin' bout ??? Sounds right though, nice delivery an' attitude. Also dig the guitar work ... nice an' drunk sounding. Those bends are all slurring and stumbling.
When Melvins Lite did it recently it was astounding. Really hope they keep it in the set this tour.

Right on. Bootlicker is all around a weirdly-atmospheric-super-sexy album from start to finish.
The track is super slow and isn't afraid to take its time....
Quote from: Mount Ambulance on April 28, 2012, 07:32:07 PM

I ask myself that all the time. I came to the conclusion a while ago that he probably tears words out of newspapers, throws them into a hat and and randomly pulls them out to perfectly make sense with everything else that is going on.
Or not. Either way... I don't really care. The man sure knows how to write a song.
melvins lite "jew boy flower head" - detroit bar - costa mesa CA 7-12-11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayoOsMT8fXU#ws)
No one licks a boot like the melvins. And nobody flowers the head of a young male non-gentile either.
Great song, great album! I love the blunted pace of kevin's playing. I actually feel like its a bit of a generic bass progression, but its the timing and delivery that melvinizes it and makes it completely original.
The bootlicker and this song inparticular proves that a quieter melvins does not mean a less-intense melvins. Melvins Lite will prove the same. I'm really looking forward to it!

Definitely. Jew Boy is my favourite Bootlicker tune too. Long, slow and full of swingin' groove. If Freak Puke is up to this standard we have a winner on our hands!
Niiiice.
Threatening, sexy, calculated and calculating. :D
Sorry I slacked off. Life happens. So with that I am posting two Melvins songs of the week. The first one is quite possibly the best song they have done in recent years. Its an epic song that I think sums up what the team up of Melvins and Big Business can accomplish. Its from A Senile Animal.
Melvins - (A) Senile Animal - 03 - Civilized Worm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC5Zlvgj8Xs#ws)
The second song of the week is from the early years of the Melvins. An excellent example of the true grunge sound before it was co-opted and exploited with overt pop gloss to make it more palatable for mass consumption. Its officially on Mangled Demos from 1983
Matt-Alec - Melvins (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_w74eGNj7U#)
Civilized Worm is in fact my least favorite song on ASA ... and the amount they played it live for a few years there made me fear it was gonna become "the staple" that "Let It All Be" had become. I'm glad this never actually happened.
ASA is my favorite record this line up has done ... and while Civilized isn't my least favorite song they've done ... it's certainly in the running.
i feel this way too. asa has much more to offer.
Melvins - Ozma - 04 - Let God Be Your Gardener (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEyqjn0rzRI#ws)
Makes me want to sharpen my butcher knife and cut up some meat :D
I love A Civilized Worm. Everything about it just has a "perfect" feel to it.
Matt-Alec...wonder what the story is behind that name?
I like the song. A good early effort. Like Civilized Worm I think there are better songs on both releases.

i've always thought it never jumped out of their whole catalogue. opinions
Well wait until next week and there will be another selection. We have 30 years worth of work to sift through.
I can't see how anyone can deny the epic quality of Civilized Worm. But that's the beauty of opinion...
exactly jackie. spot on.
I wanna keep this thing alive. Hope you don't mind Jackie.
Melvins - 26 Songs - 24 - Breakfast on the Sly (demo) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GZiMcjpsnQ#ws)
Anyone know of any other recording of this?
Great songs picked in this thread. I'm with Jackie on the Civilized Worm pick. That song has always been my favorite from A Senile Animal. It's totally one of my favorite Melvins songs. Other great picks in this thread-see how pretty, see how smart, the bloated pope, the bloat, at the stake, jew boy flower head-all fantastic songs. I'm kind of surprised the Melvins haven't played The Bloat live with Jared and Coady. Same with Mombius Hibachi. I think they will in time.

Cool song, although I admit I had to listen to the youtube video to be reminded how that song goes. It can't compete with anything from Gluey or Ozma though. :) 26 Songs is a great CD to listen to, although I haven't listened to it in a while. It's awesome listening to really old Melvins. They sure were something great and unique, even way back then.
Melvins - Bullhead - 08 - Cow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi26QCBEeqo#ws)
Sorry for the sporadic posts on this. Cow is the Melvins song of the week. The obvious highlight is the drum solo but the song overall is very awesome. Bullhead needs remastered in my opinion. Every time I listen to it it seems that the volume can never be loud enough.
Cow-such a wierd yet brilliant song structure. Starts off a groovy rock riff, Buzz's crazy vocals come in, and then they just get crazier and crazier. The song quickly desends into madness. :shock: It sounds like the songs having a meltdown or crisis or something. Vocals get crazier, guitar chords get more dissonant, and it brilliantly leads into some of the best stuff Dale's ever recorded. Amazing drum solo and what a way to end an album.

I never thought of it like that but that's a good observation. Like the song just says "aww screw it! I'm outta here! Dale's drums, you take over! And just kinda end it when you want." :P
Melvins - Prick - 01 - How About (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYBiRFMFMic#ws)
Since its about to be Monday,
Kool Legged has been my theme song all this week.
Probably my favourite album cover from The Melvins. As for the album itself, well.....it's slightly better than Colossus Of Destiny. :P
The Melvins 'Song of the Week is another track from the excellent Stag
Melvins - Skin Horse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDGGJS7NcLw#)
Skin Horse. Who can deny the pleasing weirdness of a chipmunk effected voice Buzz Osborne in the second half of this song? Not to mention the catchy pop Melvins flavor in the beginning.
I predict many 'song of the week' selections will come from Stag
Oh yeah Skin Horse is all bees' knees and rocked cotton socks! The helium vocals, the shimmering 2nd half, those creeped out helium vocals, the trippy interlude, that massive monster as a first half ... those freaking DRUMS!!!
While I love the second half to bits ... the first half gets shortshifted it seems ... its' total monster ... those DRUMS!!! Always thought the quartet line up could absolutlely destroy that first half ... though when I finally heard 'em do it ... eh, they didn't really nail it.
Too bad ...

Not too many songs have the ability to get such a mixed range of emotions out of me. The second half might sound funny, or even a little creepy - but I hear sadness and vulnerability. I'm not sure what the song is about, or if that was Buzzo's intentions....just saying it's how it personally makes me feel.
My favorite tune on the album, and one of their best songs to date. Stag is just incredible.
(Metal)Cow, I like what you had to say about (the song)Cow. It's a total meltdown!

Pretty flippin' rad.
Oh, of course. How'd I forget that.
You were at that show, right?????

I think you should be renamed Cool_dad :D
I've always loved the line in Skin Horse that goes "But i'm old and i'm getting older, knew i would" That sounds a bit lame in text i guess but in the context of the song it's great.
Cool song.
Years ago when i was doing my traineeship in sound and lights, I did my lighting demonstration to this song.
Really cool song to program and run a lightshow too. Alot of room to be creative with movements and colours.

You would like the one semi-introspective line of all melvins songs. :D
I've always liked that line too.
Why the Chipmunk voice? It's not that I dislike it, but what was Buzz' thought process like when writing skin horse... :-k "Good song but it's lacking something. Hmm, :idea: got it! This song needs chipmunk vocals" =D> \:D/.

Skin Horse is one of my all time favorites. Total Classic!.. I actually prefer it live. Buzz really emphasizes the second half vocals.. And who can deny the drums of the first half?.. They should play it with Trevor on the "Lite" tour

Makes me feel like this: :) :love: \:D/ :lol: :( :( :(
Not too many songs have the ability to get such a mixed range of emotions out of me. The second half might sound funny, or even a little creepy - but I hear sadness and vulnerability. I'm not sure what the song is about, or if that was Buzzo's intentions....just saying it's how it personally makes me feel.
My favorite tune on the album, and one of their best songs to date. Stag is just incredible.
(Metal)Cow, I like what you had to say about (the song)Cow. It's a total meltdown!

Skin Horse is an incredible song-it's always been one of my favorites. I completely agree with your comment about the wide range of emotions-In fact the way you described it is pretty much exactly how I feel. It starts "cute" and rocking and then the intensity builds up with some killer drumming. The second half is initially brilliantly hilarious but I always do get a touch of sadness, perhaps regret.
And I'm glad you liked my comments about Cow. I saw them play it July 2011 in Boston, during their Bullhead set. It was killer!

Always thought the quartet line up could absolutlely destroy that first half ... though when I finally heard 'em do it ... eh, they didn't really nail it.
Too bad ...
Yeah, they shortened the first half unfortunately, but at least they kept the second half completely intact.
I think what I love about Skin Horse is what I love about the band. They sound brilliant but aren't precious or unprepared to piss about. It's one of my fave Melvs tracks.

Melvins/fantomas version? Which is superior, IMO.

Sooooo goood! Love the cut from Walsby's Choose Your Battles best!
Everything about this song is perfect. The 8 octave drop tunning (or however low it is), the cardiac-like drum pounding that emphasises the Les Paul in the intro, the unsettling sound of the chord Buzz plays during the 'so forgiven' part. The end is cool too, with a staple that pop up in their songs of ending with a random drum progression/digression thingy.
Mind blowing! Good call Legit.
