for me it would have to be "pick it n' flick it" - this one just plainly sucks. It's like buzz trying to do an eddie van halen riff that is very smiliar to eruption, which is the last thing this world needs. very strange.
another, I hate the intro to "it's shoved" off of alive @ the F*cker Club. It is the one about the phone call to his mom about being in australia. come on buzz....
Hmmm...
Off the top of my head:
Clipping Roses
Claude
Harry Lauders Walking Stick Tree
Cottonmouth
These songs don't do much for me. I don't dislike them though. They're still okay. And the only song off Prick in my opinion that is really good is Larry. The other stuff isn't as memorable. Underground, and Montreal are kinda boring... Chief Ten Beers, Rickets (have they ever done this live?), Punch The Lion, Chalk People, and Roll Another One aren't bad. And I think How About is pretty good. Pick It' N Flick It is alright... Pure Digital Silence is pretty cool. I give Prick about a 6 out 10
And Pink Bat dosen't do much for me. I'm still hoping it will grow on me.
The two I don't like are Koolegged and Lacrimosa. I don't like HOW--++-- much either but it gave me a good laugh the first time I heard it.
set me straight is probably my least favorite...
For me it has to be "Pure Digital Silence" and the whole Crybaby album because it's supposed to be a Melvins album but really I don't look at it as a "Melvins" album. I hope you all understand what I am trying to say.........

"pick it and flick it" is mark d. he's an accomplished guitarist.
i think that track is funny. do i want to hear it ever again? no real need, no.
my least favorite melvins tunes are the ones where they decide to record with some lame "noise" guy and forget to write real songs. :P

Mark D played that solo.

Mark D was the one who told that story.
Shit Storm.
I did crap like that when I was 10 years old.
Does ANYBODY like it?
looking at pre-atlantic melvins stuff: ligature and sacrifice
those are prolly the only songs from the pre atlantic albums that kinda bore me.ligature has a boring riff and the sacrifice cover just doesn't sound right. i REALLY like the original version of sacrifice tho
Holy shit, I didn't know that Mark played Pick It 'N Flick It!
Does Buzz have the ability to play it?

I don't know; I've only heard a 30 second sample of it. Don't have Electroretard yet. :D

It was an actual song that they turned backwards,
maybe you'd like it if you heard it forward:

Look at it this way, on one tour I think in about '96, the Melvins did two sets each night, the first would have Mark play guitar and Buzz play bass...makes you wonder about who was really leading the band through the Atlantic years, huh?

wow, i love that kinda stuff.
hmm... i dunno i guess Spread Eagle Beagle, Skweetis, barx da rockin m, i dunno i cant really think right now
excuse me.... well I got the specifics fucked up, either way those are the two cuts I do not like. That's not bad considering I can't think of anything else by the melvins to add to the list. As to all you melvins historians... thanks for the specifics and I am relieved that buzz wasn't directly attached. Also, could anyone elaborate on the zz top reference... Im missing that one.....

:?
On Stag, it says that Mark does the slide guitar on Black Bock. Have they ever played that live? I've never seen that listened on bootleg sites. It they haven't, it might be a little hint that Buzz can't do the slide guitar part. :roll:

So what's your opinion on Clipping Roses? 8)
its in my top 10. no. maybe my top 15. either way, i think its a powerful song. i like when the 3rd part (that is similar to the first set ov vocals) kicks in and dale goes nuts. i love it.
wait.... isn't this also known as "easy as it was"?????????

Uhh.. no :lol: Easy As It Was and As It Was are the same songs. I think you've mistaken the song. Go put on Gluey Porch Treatments and skip to track 15 (Clipping Roses). Then tell me what you really think of the song. :mrgreen:
umm. yeah that's what i've been listening to. number 15, or number 32 on the cd version. i have a live version of "easy as it was", and it is the same song. hmm.....
it's the one that says "TRISH! Your Broken heart's a piece of this!", right?
EASY AS IT WAS:
Trish! Your broken heart's a piece of this
You hold it up, a vicious twist
I guess you're better than your love
You knew that, Easy as it was
Come on
Give me something special, something that I need
She makes a try, a simple lay-o
Gathered through the power sesho
So I do hear your words
Peel the skin away from my eyes
And look in She's all the things that you put away
So it's inside
They slip it in
I can hardly mix in
Without it all, your sin
Make the monkey crawl, my love
So you will let me know.

No, you're wrong! That's track 16 on the CD! Track 15 is Clipping Roses, and it's a completely different song! :lol:
ok, then there is a TYPO on my ozma/GPT cd.
Okay, I've got it figured out now. I didn't realize you were talking about the Ozma/GPT CD. I was thinking about the Ipecac rereleased version-Where it just includes GPT and some demos. Clipping Roses is track 15 on that CD.
:lol:

Mark and Dale did contribute a bit on the records in this time period. Read the liner notes for song writing credits.
correct! the atlantic period was one of the most democratic
times ever in the melvins career as far as songwriting.
mark d was responsible for large chunks of prick as well
Quotemark d was responsible for large chunks of prick as well
thats what I heard
Yes, the Bloat was played live many times. If you can find a copy of Alive at the Fucker club it's on there. When I saw them play it live in '99, Buzz didn't play slide guitar, but Kevin played slide bass.

ahhh....you beat me to it. Yep, that had to be Mark D, although i dont own the Fucker Club album. Sounds nothing like Buzz though, and the mock Southern accent is a giveaway.

Oh. Son of a bitch. Hold on. (Opens case of Stag, and looks at the liner notes). No one plays slide guitar on that song. Mark lays additional guitar, though. And no, I have not heard it live, if they did play it I imagine the vocals would be very different.
does anyone remember when buzz and mark would switch during live shows? remember the pink on white strat on stage?

Oh, sorry, I thought I read that Mark did slide guitar on Black Bock (mabye it was another song).

I wonder if Mark did the guitar on Chief Ten Bears.
deejuks2-The typo on the Ozma/GPT-For some reason Exact Paperbacks and Happy Grey Or Black, are on the same track, and the rest of the CD goes on normally starting on the next track. There are only 32 songs on the CD, when it says 33. So Clipping Roses appears one track earlier than As It Was-I think Clipping Roses is track 30, and it's about a minute long.
and on the regular GPT CD by itself, Clipping Roses is track 15.
what are your least favorite melvins tunes?
lovely butterflies
Toadi Acceleratio
=
Bo-ring! The rest of the album kicks.
kurva; du you haTE lovely butterflies????? one of the most demonic songs of all? i didnt expect that from you , no way! :shock: :shock: :shock:
Lovely Butterfly on Honky is WAY better than how it's done live. I'd definately add the live version to my list of least favorites.
Acctualy.. Is the way they do it live, the way it's on Electroretard? That never occured to me. What's it like on Electroretard?
