So, as we know, the Melvins usually use the winter months for recording. Does anyone have any inside info on what's in the works? Does the Sabbath single forecast the 'History of Rock' album they were talking about?
Also, as a fan, what would you like to hear from them in 2019?
I'll start- I LOVE 'basses' and really liked 'pat', but I'd like to see the Buzz, Dale, Jeff, Steve lineup do something far out in the vein of 'pigs of the roman empire' or 'honkey'. I certainly wouldn't say no to new jelvins, either. Basically, I would be down for anything unexpected.
I know we are back to the UK at some point. I'm not sure when that will be exactly yet, but its definitely one of the things we will be doing. We've got more massive tours and some recording. More of the same, a lot more of just what we do.

Talked to Jon Spencer about it last thursday. He said: "I can not talk about it right now."

not that I won't give it a chance of course. I just want melvins to bite. I wouldn't expect a bite from this collaboration.

Seeing melvins recently, I couldn't help think the current line-up would be perfect to play a Colossus of Destiny live show. Add Jon Spencer with 'wire' and leaping around the audience screaming, "THE FUCKING BLUUUUUES IS THE SHIT!" etc. and I could see that biting. I'd even come to Michigan for that.

*raises eyebrows questionably*
Yep. I hear ya.
I dig Jon Spencer and I think he is underrated. I'd set my expectations for a Melvins/JS release at, like, an upgraded Haze/Melvins collab level.
Also the new album from Spencer really crushes. The sound of it, the band, and Jon as good as ever.
I'm sorry but my senses do not lie for I am the Great Carnac!
Jon Spencer-Melvins collab, It's probably already in the can coming down the pipes all in good time. :-$
And, AND I'll bet it's gonna rock your socks off....Infact that is why I'm betting it's a top secret project for the time being.
I'll bet it's going to match "Hold it in" in terms of "WOW" factor.
SO glad to hear the News about Hepa-titus Melvins show, that's very good to hear. this pleases me.
Even a Melvins Hepa-Titus split would be something too....OOooo Nooo!!! INDEEEEEEED!!!!
THIS SONG IS CALLED..........THE CHANTING.....OF THE PRIESTS!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Furthermore, I'd really love a little Modular Synth collaborative, whether it's a live improv one-off kind of affair, it would be asking a lot but that's why it could be a throwaway and be Justified as such...I really enjoy Throbbing gristle during the Christmas holiday season to Augment all the horrid Christmas music being forcefully pumped into your buttery ear holes.
Where has Sir David Scott Stone been hiding?
I've got to say he is sorely missed (no pun intended) ...He's the Reason my Ears are still ringing since June 16th of the year 2000. People were not very happy with his performance. I found it more than satisfying to my aural senses despite having severe hearing loss in my left ear in the high end spectrum...so severe I can't hear hi-hat tracks or ride cymbals on my left side. =D>

They should do another Colossus Of Destiny live (with no announcement that it'll be a special show, like the first time).
Was talking about this with someone the other day, since David Scott Stone was also in Big Business; didn't he have some kind of falling-out with Buzz over money or something? That's what I read somewhere on here years ago.

I knew he went on to join LCD Soundystem but I wasn't aware of his involvement with either of those; now that's eclectic.
Check out his Facebook page, he's been playing shows around the l.a. Area.
I read something he wrote on gearslutz maybe 15 or so years ago about being the fat guy in The
Locust and the skinny guy in the Melvins. :lol:
I hope they put out a new album in 2019. Then we'll have ten studio albums in one decade (I'm counting AWWL&D as a singular piece and not two separate albums).
Also hoping for a Crover/Redd Kross east coast/midwest tour.
Lastly, with OFF! playing Muddy Roots I wonder if it'll be Rubacalba or Crover on that lineup...
Time will tell I suppose.
I am hoping for:
Melvins/Redd Kross/Dale Crover Band Tour. It would be perfect.

There's not much news about it. Pinkus just remarked in an interview earlier this year about how Melvins have a Rolling Stones cover album recorded called Sticky Feet. That was all that was mentioned. For all we know it might not even appear next year. I mean, the Void Manes one has been in the can since something like 2011!!

It would be cool if Ryan Adams could get to meet them and ask them about Bladerunner. :D
Knowing Pinkus, it sounds like one of his jokes. But you never know.
i like Steve as bassist but watching this video made me think how much i miss Jared tone on this song. also wonder what's your opinion about the double bass line up. mine is the same i had for the double drums line up : less is better

saw them 2 nights ago in a much smaller club than last summer and I thought they were much tighter as a 4 man band with 2 basses and had worked out a lot of the kinks. both Pinkus and Steven were playing fills and especially Steven on harmony parts that were mind blowing and smoother in their delivery since last time. I won't mind if and when they go back to one bass, but i'm glad I got to see this line up twice now. same as how the two drummer lineup got better as they toured more together. that's why I prefer Nude With Boots or (A)SA. they were playing off each other and anticipating where to deviate from playing everything the same at the same time.

yeah, i think seeing them live can give you a better perspective than watching a low quality cell video.
How can I book the boys for Chattanooga, TN? There are enough lame stoner doom bands in the area, so I'm sure it'd be a sellout show. High on Fire packed our now-defunct Revelry Room in 2015
Selfish reasoning though, since they'd undoubtedly do better in Knoxville or Nashville. I just dig the idea of driving only 20 minutes to see Melvins, as opposed to the usual 90 minute trek to ATL
At least we're getting Buckethead in March

Which Came first, the earring or the Grill?
I guess the Earring, both of these things are cool.
I saw Josh Homme with a black tooth, someone said it's platinum...apparently he's always had a thing about teeth in dreams, I have had weird teeth dreams too so I guess it's not unusual.
Anyway...Melvins and Foo fighters together, could have been worse, you know? No one invited Courtney or Rob Zombie did they?
I hope That Dave and Buzz reconciled maybe or had a dramatic sit down, better than ghosting eachother in the hallway like high school...or maybe it's Just for the best to not think about it.
It would bother me, I think it would but I couldn't tell you how I'd feel in either persons shoes..So I'd Just move forward.

Of course not. I'd just like to hear what's going on/planned in Melvins land. A new tour - as much as it doesn't overly interest me in and of itself - means a new record!! I do however like checking out their setlists though and watching the occasional video. Another bonus of Melvins on tour is more Melvins interviews get uploaded.
Turns out that May gig is part of Stoned and Dusted fest. The rest of the fest is held in a secret desert location!

I wouldn't mind a tour in July/August to be honest. Last year that first leg came on a work day for the Louisville date so I couldn't catch them until the second leg in Indianapolis.

Is the Crystal Ballroom a harsh venue? I've never been there.

Is the Crystal Ballroom a harsh venue? I've never been there.
Its an old dance hall that's been converted into a venue. The views from everywhere on the floor are awful, the floor itself is usually split down this odd angle for 21 and over, the sound is mediocre, and the crowds that go to shows there are usually only half interested in whats going on onstage. If you are early enough you can stand on a bench at the wall of the venue and you might be able to see something ;)
It would be perfect for an actual ball (with its bouncy floor), but for music it is probably my least liked venue in town.
Although I did see the Melvins there once (20th anniv, with Mudhoney opening). It was a good show, but I'd rather see them play just about anywhere else.
They probably got a pretty good offer from Sabertooth, so good on them.

It's not horrible. Seen Melvins there a couple times. Once when I was seeing them there I was in line to grab a beer and all the sudden I notice I'm standing next to Krist Novoselic. I had a few beers in me so I blurted out "I'd vote for you for lieutenant governor" (he was running up in Washington at the time). He handed me some of his campaign materials and we talked for a few minutes.
In regard to the upcoming show...I'm just not excited about the premise of an all-day brewfest leading up to a Melvins set. Will not be a fun crowd to be around.
totally makes sense, thanks.
btw, I just bought my tix for the Tacoma show on the 3rd and the link on the McMenamin's site is incorrectly going to a page to buy tickets for the Crystal Ballroom show on the 4th. Took a bit of digging to find the correct page for the Tacoma show, so for ease for anyone else who's looking to buy them here is the correct link:
https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/5323778/sabertooth-presentsthe-melvinshelms-alee-holy-grove-21-tacoma-mcmenamins-elks-temple
stoked to check out that new venue, sounds pretty cool. They just spent a pretty penny refurbishing it.

I wonder if 2019 is going to turn out to be a rather more "quiet" year touring wise for the band or whether they'll hit the US/European roads further on post-Summer.
QuotePearl Jam and Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron is teasing a mysterious new recording project with Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins and Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne. Cameron has shared two videos on his Instagram story of the trio working on music in Sun Valley, CA. Hawkins fronted a one off Soundgarden reunion performance in Los Angeles at the 'I Am The Highway' Chris Cornell tribute show in Los Angeles last month. The Melvins were the first performers at the show, introduced by Soundgarden's surviving members.

I donno if he's involved musically ... I'm not really bitten by children, so I never really investigated beyond watching the video ... tho my spidey sense tells me it's just an acting gig
In regards to the Child Bite video the band asked him during the acoustic tour if they'd film a few scenes of him playing the dealer and he said "yes".
I wonder if someone with Buzz as their dealer could just buy narcotics with street cred.

Im always a little amazed when people see things in the total opposite of myself, but at the same time that's cool. I admit i would love to see more of the two bass line-up in a studio context. To see them really explore those possibilities more like the dual drummers thing was on (A)SA through to TBSM. I mean oddly, for all it's attention/focus on the line-up prior, PAT didn't really explore the dual basses AT ALL!! It all just sounded like ONE bass. Many reviews said the same and interestingly, Steve himself said he was mostly away at the time that the album was quickly written/recorded.
So yes, i'd love to see a "proper" two bass Melvins record. But i think there's plenty of room for other things too. I mean, we don't even know if Trevor's apparent involvement IS Melvins Lite. It could be 3 bassists or some other unexpected and ultimately interesting combination. For the record though - i actually think Freak Puke was pretty damn good!! A clear high point in newer Melvins releases. (minus 'Tommy Goes Berserk' of course!)

I disagree I can hear a lot of dual bass work on that album could be played by one guy in a studio setting but to me PAT is quite a unique Melvins listening experience. I might upset a few here with this but to me it's not an album Buzz & Dale would've ever come up with on their own.

It could be sure but a pic of Dunn on an upright bass just sent a shudder through my spine. It dominates on that album too much.
Just thought of this. What if hes contributing bass to the Melvins + Void Manes album?

Freak Puke was and is one of my personal favorites from the last 10 years. And the shows from that tour were very very special (Including ending each one with the Definitive mind blowing version of Shevil) Trevor Dunn is a monster of talent and creativity.
I find myself saying this over and over, but what makes Melvins great is their constant willingness to try new things, take chances and change. I'd be thrilled for more of that lineup to surface, They supposedly recorded a ton of material when they made that record.

Trevor was about an inch from the ceiling the whole show.
We had free beer from a bar down the street with live music that day...it was beautiful...walked back to get coffee and listen outside to the Melvins sound check...Dale with his Yankee Cigs.

I remember you telling me about "free beer" outside the show and as tempting as that offer was I had to be a responsible driver.
More recording work currently going on it seems with the band at their Sound Of Sirens studios. Buzz, Dale and Steve in attendance.
Freak Puke was the last great melvins album. It's the spiritual heir to The Bootlicker. Athough the version of "A Growing Disgust" I saw them do with Jared in 2012 is the superior version.
I dug the Melvins Lite live shows I attended more than the studio release. Not to say the studio release was bad, a solid release for sure and a highlight of Melvins releases of the last decade. Tho I was expecting (and hoping) the Lite would be more light so to say. Certainly more upbeat and rocking than I thought it would be. I really think Dunn on the acoustic fits well though.
Yeah, it was pretty killer when they whipped out Shevil as the closer for that tour. Holy Barbarians, Mr. Rip Off, Eye Flys were other standouts ...
After seeing this early footage of the Lite rolling this Bootlicker gem out I was really hoping they'd keep it in the set for the shows I saw ... alas, it was not so. But damn, they kill this one ...

That's great stuff! I would have been happy if they had included more from The Bootlicker also. That one or "Up The Dumper" could have killed... One thing you can always count on with Melvins is they will not do what you expect or wish for.

You people Just don't understand the apex of analog technology and first and second generation digital engineering and it's peak in around the early 90's.

Curious if the set at Pioneertown will be any different from what has been on the setlist the last few months. It's technically a headlining festival set. I'd imagine "Kicking Machine," "Honey Bucket" and "Let It All Be" plus the usual PAT songs (Don't Forget, Move to Florida) will be in there. For a doomy type fest they might bring back Lysol again.
I'd still like to hear more songs from A WALK (DEATH) particularly "Black Heath" and "Flaming Creature" especially with Pinkus vs Steven.

Agreed! Best songs on that whole thing. It bewilders me that Melvins always ignore most of the songs on whatever is their latest album. Especially when those songs are as good as those two are!

Yeah, Buzz and Dale need someone smaller than them to pick on. :buzz:

I wouldn't be too eager to jump to the conclusion that seeing Dunn in the studio recently necessarily means a new Melvins Lite album. It could be something a bit like 'Basses Loaded' or '...Sausages', basically more of a rotating cast of performers or some sort of expanded line-up.

I'd still like to hear more songs from A WALK (DEATH) particularly "Black Heath" and "Flaming Creature" especially with Pinkus vs Steven.
Agreed! Best songs on that whole thing. It bewilders me that Melvins always ignore most of the songs on whatever is their latest album. Especially when those songs are as good as those two are!
i guess the reason might be those songs don't work properly in a live dimension,according to the band obviously. another killer song i think they never performed live is A Vast Filthy Prison from ASA.

Probably correct as regards much Melvins material. Although i still think both songs would work live. Especially 'Flaming Creature' since that is more "upbeat" or "rockin". Maybe 'Black Heath' would be more appropriate and work better if they ever go out on the road with just Trevor again.
I just went and checked about 'A Vast Filthy Prison'. For some reason i thought they had played all of (A)SA live once but seems im wrong there.
I'm still on the fence about getting a ticket for this Saturday.
1) Will it be substantially the same set as last July?
2) I have soured on the venue since the last time they played there in '05.
3) It's a fucking beer festival, with all of that's potential problems.
4) I see there is a September Eugene show. Will they heading back to Portland this fall?
S'pose I better make up my mind......

You and me both!!
The wife and I made the trip to Seattle rather than see the Jesus Lizard at the Crystal...and it was easily worth the 3 hour drive as the Neptune is a pretty cool venue.
Unfortunately, I think I'm ducking out seeing them this go around.
Going to the Tacoma show so not sure about the Portland one for many (all) of the reasons above. Well, the set list isn't an issue because I have nothing bad to say about the last tour but a beer fest at the Crystal sounds like a not too awesome time. I know people in a couple of the opening bands so I can probably wait until last minute to decide.....

My reasoning regarding the setlist is, disposable income being limited, do I want to see the same thing I saw last year (which was killer) in a shittier venue at a higher price surrounded by drunk beer brahs.....or hold out for a September gig with a new mix of awesome? Aarrgh!!!!
I see on Buzzo's Instagram that on the picture of ShitKid he captions it that they have recently done some recording work with the girls. Strange things afoot in Melvins land it seems!

They are like if Flipper made Garage Disco / Garage New Wave / Garage Love / Garage Doo Wop. Or something like that? I think they are amazing at what they do. One song got a lot of repeated listens from me called "You".
Well, somebody just won me over.

We're in the same area as the Amtrak station, just a bit north of downtown. Smells like it could be pulp mill but the next block will smell like a cattle ranch and then rotten seafood and then nasty chemicals. Train back is delayed 15 minutes so far. All worth it for the show last night.....
I usually just pass thru on my way up to Duckabush, Dosiewallups and Hamma Hamma, but I haven't smelled the stink in a few years. Not nearly as bad as it was mid 1990's
For those of you that skipped the Crystal Ballroom show because you didn't like the brewfest aspect.......you missed out. Same set as last night in Tacoma, but not as packed. It was a great show that wasn't near as full of drunk dipshits as I expected.

I wonder if this will be a "proper" Melvins album or a second attempt at something like a Crystal Fairy. By that i mean, something where Melvins act as the backing band and the ladies take the spotlight.

That Tacoma show was incredible. Best set I've seen them do in a few years now, incredible energy, unhinged and the setlist was relentless. That new opening salvo of Hooch/Honey Bucket/The Bit is relentless, and Your Blessened continues to be a major standout these days. And The Bloated Pope. And Civilized Worm. And Evil New War God. And A Growing Disgust...sheesh!! If this setlist holds for the upcoming tour overseas you Eurofreaks are STOKED!
Plus having Helms Alee first close their set with fucking At the Stake (a very bold and VERY successful move) and then come back out for the Night Goat mega closer was just ridiculous. Openers Holy Grove really impressed me too, in a Sabbath meets early Heart kind of way. heavy.
That venue is outstanding, I'd go see shows there any time. Crazy labyrinth of a place but the sound was outstanding and the room has great vibe. Hope I can stay in the hotel on site if they play there again.

Sounds even better than the show I got to see. Too bad Boston is the closest they've come to me for the past few go-rounds; every show I've seen or tried to see there has been such a colossal pain-in-the-ass as far as parking and crowds and expense and obnoxious drunks that I've pretty much sworn off it. The crowd here in Providence wasn't super-receptive to them though and it seemed like most folks were just there for Helms Alee (Dale even commented on the crowd's lack of energy during most of the Melvins set) so sadly I would not be surprised if they didn't come back here anytime soon.
the tour with Helms Alee in the summer of 16 was when they played every place they could that wasn't huge city. I drove 2 hours north to Flagstaff to see them there. the club owner was ecstatic that they would plan a tour like that. I think the overall enthusiasm was good and they'll do it again (remember that was right after the yuge Imperial Death March tour).
Really hoping for a proper live release from this lineup. Has there been a live recording since Third Man? That was six years ago already if I'm counting correctly.
That House of Strombo is great, and they did release Jam in the Van and Rebel Girl, but I want a whole show with Pinkus and Steven mastered for CD.

The Japan tour that was supposed to happen this week has been postponed. I used Google Translate for the info on the promoter's page. Apparently Dale Crover has a hernia and doctor orders stopped the tour. Here's a link to the site with the information. The first show was in two days in Tokyo.

Yes, that is a good question! The page reloaded at 10 am but requires a promo code to order tickets. The only Promo Code that I have so far is for a *second* pre-sale (a "Log Love" pre-sale, whatever the heck that is...) at 10 am on Thursday. So what is the "Artist Pre-Sale" that was supposed to be on at 10am today??

It's a great room, like an old movie theater with the seats taken out. In a decent 'hood, nice bars/eateries nearby. Away from the downtown part of 'Cuse. Street parking is free/easy if you get there early. It's been a regular Melvins stop since 2013.

Got my Doug Fir tickets. I've only been to one show there, Low, and it was amazeballz. Incredible sound and the space looks really cool, kind of like a "Twin Peaks Black Lodge meets Spaceship" kinda vibe. Smallest venue I'll have seen them in. Holds 300 (The Hawthorne, where they played in 2012 and 2017 holds 500).

Got my Doug Fir tickets. I've only been to one show there, Low, and it was amazeballz. Incredible sound and the space looks really cool, kind of like a "Twin Peaks Black Lodge meets Spaceship" kinda vibe. Smallest venue I'll have seen them in. Holds 300 (The Hawthorne, where they played in 2012 and 2017 holds 500).
Now I don't feel so bad for missing the Crystal Ballroom gig...
Secured my DF LOUNGE ticket yesterday via the presale - I knew it wouldn't take long for the tix to sell out today- (honestly thought they'd be gone faster)
def 1 of my top venues in Portland (love the intimacy and vibe) seeing the Melvins there should be no exception; saw big business there, circa 08, when they toured for 'here come the waterworks'

here's a good gauge of what you'll get. they switched up some things in the set list on the mini tour a couple of weeks ago too.
https://youtu.be/WvSVXrkSfr4
it's been a diverse set list the last few years. a couple new songs, a cover or two, a couple classics, one or two off Houdini, one or two off the Biz era. BUT!!!! a big fat hole from the Kev era. :(

The time when they put out their best, most awesome material too!!!

I still haven't missed a year of Melvins live since day one on this message board. But I haven't really kept up with their recordings for a couple. So I guess you're saying this tour is likely to be similar to the previous tours - makes sense.

I totally agree. Kevin era was my favorite era. Aside from the early days.
Think they've at least recently played "The Bloated Pope" which technically is a Kevin years song, and "Let It All Be." But hey, I'd love some HAT stuff especially.
I snagged a DOUG FIR ticket, but since the general on sale went so fast, I'm wondering if they are gonna add a second night??? 🤔

Been lucky to see all those except Vile live. I think Buzz was using a 9 volt battery as a slide when playing Charmicarmicat.
Got my ticket for Tiny Town show with ShiityKid and Red X. Then a day later a friend said he overbought and would sell me one for half price...well, it was only 20$...
I've been mixing it up and went to Portland last few years for the shows. Decided to come back to Seattle this year. But damn didn't notice the Doug Fir show.....I love that place. Would have been a sweet melvins show.
any more word on shitkid getting their shit kicked off the tour?

Good! They suck! I wonder if this jeopardises the planned Melvins/Shitkid collab.
Also, with this tour a mere few months away, i imagine a new Melvins album must surely be announced pretty soon right?
this was in their insta story. not even on their fb. seems like a prank. you know shitkid. :lol:

well, I for one wouldn't mind them not coming to Tiny Town. With the U of O here, we have loads of shitkids now.

Maybe it's a visa problem, or master card, amex, discovery?

If it's not a joke... I'm sorry but part of me wants to say "good riddance".
I finally got around to listening to the Shitkid album, whichever one is on Amazon prime music. It's got a yellow cover, maybe. I didn't dislike it. Seems like some lofi college dorm type stuff for the most part.

I see Buzz has "liked" their post about this on Insta so i guess it wasn't him who wanted them gone. Probably...
Honestly hate to admit it but I wouldn't be surprised if the upcoming US tour is too dependent on Dale's recovery. They might be trying to reduce any liability in case it does get canceled or reduced. Just speculating.
I know some smaller bands who don't have the connections can struggle to get touring visa's for the US. The legendary Japanese metal band Loudness were notorious for announcing US tours and then cancelling them at the 11th hour because there were always problems with them getting visas.
Shitkid is two chicks isn't it? Maybe one of the chicks has a criminal record back home that can hinder getting visas?

yea, i listened to that one as well, also didn't hate it. noise folk is what i called it.
im trying to bridge the gap between my love of noisy stuff and my wife's folky tastes with Shitkid

they were here a few months back, tho - stayed with pinkus in austin for sxsw and with (?) buzz in LA to record.
he posted a few pics of them in LA on his instagram. they also (iirc) opened a few shows for dale around that
time. maybe a full two-month long tour is a diff story as far as visas/permits go.
They're offering refunds due to Shitkid being off the bill! Should have a surcharge instead!
:buzz:
Nov. 7 Long Beach, CA Alex's Bar
Nov. 8 Los Angeles, CA The Echo
Another planned 10"??? 'Disney Black Ops Tortureland'???

I actually really wanted to see Shitkid but if I'm driving down to Tiny Town on a work night then I'm fine with it being a quick two band set.
Shitkids...What is a shitkid exactly? I think I've met a few around town.

So... almost half way through September now, i guess it doesn't look like any new Melvins album is going to be coming out this year after all. Unfortunately. With any other band i would expect that, but with Melvins im actually quite surprised.
Quality over quantity!
I listened to a recent Buzz interview yesterday where he said he has 700-800 songs half written at home!!! I guess that is more "ideas" or parts of a song. But still, that's a lot of material.

He also said they recorded over 50 songs with Trevor Dunn at the time they recorded Freak Puke and they've never been released.
