Title: 2023
Post by: ))))(((( on October 02, 2022, 06:42:00 AM
I'm calling it now, next year will bring the KingDunn album on Ipecac sometime in Spring. February/March possibly with Buzz and Trevor touring together for a month or two. Then later in the year sometime around August the Melvins/Roy Mayorga release with a corresponding Melvins tour. Plus maybe a special 40th anniversary tour too!

I know. It's like Guns & Roses 'Chinese Democracy' or something. A long rumoured recording that for some strange reason never sees the light of day. I wonder why that is. I'm sure it was first talked about in 2014 so that's 8 years ago now! I'm surprised they didn't release it during 2019 or something when they had no other Melvins albums to release that year.

QuoteI'm calling it now, next year will bring the KingDunn album on Ipecac sometime in Spring. February/March possibly with Buzz and Trevor touring together for a month or two.

This seems logical. They are caught up on live albums, just released a massive retrospective and a full-length with no covers. The well is probably dry for a bit. Looking forward to a KingDunn LP.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a Sausages style record that features "My War" and "Sabbath" and "Sacrifice" and "Spoon Man" and a half dozen covers we haven't fully heard before. Ideally there's a studio version of "Deuce" and a release of "Into the Void" somewhere on the horizon. I guess I'm still talking about the "history of music" project or whatever. Too bad the Pretenders cover will probably never be released again.

Steven let slip about that one and similarly ages ago Buzz mentioned it would be good to do an album with Trevor on stand-up bass with Jared on bass too. So whether we will see any of that at any point is pretty much anyone's guess. Since they get on well now and he's recently worked with Dunn, i still have a sneaky suspicion they may do something with Kevin again at some point.

Also thinking Steven will likely be the last Melvins bassist barring a double-drum tour or a Melvins Lite tour happens in the future.

Songkick is pretty solid, I use it for tracking certain artists. This seemed legit until I saw ShitKid but they might have not updated the support act since the last Euro tour in 2018? Fuck knows, but I'm on it to investigate further.

Not sticking up for Patton and his tardiness in anyway but those guys owe their whole careers to Patton. FNM was only a small time band before Patton joined and when he did that first album with him exploded and sold millions of copies around the world. The albums after that albeit less popular sold millions too. They broke up in '98 primarily due to friction with Patton over him wanting to also do other projects like Fantomas which would take away from FNM touring opportunities.

Then he agreed to reunite with FNM in 2009 and they all spent the next six years cleaning up financially making more money from touring than they ever had before, they were getting paid hundreds of thousands per show until it abruptly ended in 2015. They should be kissing his ass really but when the second reunion got cancelled last year they made it obvious in the statement they weren't happy with Patton pulling out and Patton has since said in interviews they're still shitty with him, he hasn't spoken to any of them since and that it's probably unlikely they will ever get back together again.

The whole joining FNM thing was really just a move by Patton to shine a spotlight on Mr Bungle, he was going to bail on the audition but Trevor Dunn convinced him to go ahead with it for that reason.

In that recent band interview i thought it brought up some interesting points as far as what we may be in for next year. Firstly Buzz mentioned recording another solo album, but he said it in a weird way. It was hard to say whether he was referring to Gift Of Sacrifice, Kingdunn or a brand new one. Then Dale mentioned working with guests. We know about Ministry drummer Roy Mayorga and now seemingly the Void Manes stuff but could there be something else on the way too?

i wish they had a supergroup with a revolving door of guest members like Pigface or Revolting Cocks for this kind of stuff. there would be more varied track lists on an album switching between lineups and sounds but it would be possible to release stuff on a quicker schedule.

Since we had nothing on Ipecac last year, i wouldn't be surprised to see another double Melvins release year! Just like 1999, 2013 and 2021!! It does seem like the band have been recording a lot this 12 months and Dale did say they intend to make a big impression this year for their 40th.

When you think about it, there's a blimin lot of stuff that we know the band have either been working on or seem to have recorded this past year or so!

-Void Manes "TG Sessions"
-Roy Mayorga on drums
-Gary Chester on guitar
-Kingdunn
-Helms Alee collab


Plus some rumour stuff!

-History of rock project
-Melvins Lite 35 unreleased tracks
-Jon Spencer collab
-Kim Thayil involvement

Fuck yeah, I saw that in May '03 @ The Cleveland Agora - Tomahawk, Melvins, & Dalek. Easily one of the top 3 shows of my life. Those were the days, when you'd get those Ipecac package tours. Melvins w/ Trio-Convulsant in '04,  Fantomas w/ Trio-Convulsant and The Locust in '04/'05, the first few Melvins/Big Business tours. Glad to see they're getting back now to something similar.
I saw Skeleton Key once in '02. They went on after The Black Keys in Buffalo, well past midnight @ The Mohawk Place. Small room, maybe 100 people in there for Black Keys, about a dozen by the time SK went on.

Looks like they added a 2nd Oakland date and man no Portland  tix on any of the main resale marketplaces am I going nuts here I feel like there should've been an allotment for the presale and for general onsale tickets as well- feel like ppl got screwed on the presale- maybe the demand was higher than I anticipated but still - honestly I felt like people didn't even have a chance at tickets shit I had an easier time getting tickets for tool and the smile recently last year  just saying
check the merch table at the first show. Haze XXL linocut limited edition tix to Portland, Seattle, blah blah.

Interesting... desertfest is a franchise. Besides NY there is Belgium (Antwerp and Ghent) also in SEP/OCT if I'm not mistaken.
There is also the desertfest London and Berlin around May/June. This is interesting because the melvins are also confirmed for freak valley in germany around that time. I hope for a Euro tour in May/June.

You can't call an event "DesertFest" in the state of NY for obvious reasons. Unless you want to get real and name it as  a deserting of common sense, decency, etc. More people every year desert NYS due to it's ever growing idiocy/liberalism/fascism and overall wanting to be California Jr.

Probably shouldnt name a fest DesertFest in London or Berlin or Antwerp but thats not going to stop them at all.  :lol:

If I recall the name was based on being inspired by the desert rock scene and the early years definitely reflect that. Not unlike Roadburn starting as a psych / stoner rock fest before it evolved into its own thing.

When I was doing Riffipedia some years ago that sites founder was writing for DesertFest and DesertScene and gave a bit of insight there.

Melvins!

I am really hoping we get a Melvins tour where they play Bad Moon Rising in it's entirety. That is the most cohesive and solid Melvins album since (A) Senile Animal? I love all of their albums, but this one really came together. I think the approach of Buzz and Steven working closely together on demos for it, rather than the wham bam thank you ma'am approach they have been using lately really works. Steven is a seriously great musician and a super nice guy to boot!



And Chief Ten Beers can dip his tongue into my shit stream and lap it up. I'm here for Melvins, not to read stupid political and social takes. If that makes me a Man-Baby, then get me a tittie so I can eat!

I liked that one where Lori Black said "it's blackin time" and proceeded to black everyone. One of the Melvins bassists of all time.
Title: Re: 2023
Post by: amazonAMAZON on March 19, 2023, 08:46:58 PM
Fans took to Twitter to decry the direction that Steven has taken in Melvins Bassist as it veered drastically from the bassist in phase 2-4 and more importantly from the bassist in the comics

A handful of supporters spoke up to defend Steven's costume as it is consistent with the Melvins Army version of the much beloved  bass player.

While Steven was the target of continued hate for such ludicrous claims as "incorrect hair," "wrong voice," and "weird stage motions," suerfan @HagMe1993 pointed out that any issues with Steven should be directed at MCU head honcho King Buzzo as the principle architect of MCU Phase 5.

Despite a slate of releases teased and hinted, only four Phase 5 projects have sent the light of day. A Walk with Love and Death was a polarizing but bold entry. Working With God seemed to eschew Steven altogether and had fans further divided not on the release itself but some tracks therein.

Five Legged Dog while brilliantly executed suffered from a running time that left many fans unable to complete it in one sitting and mostly relied on rehashing favorite moments.

Bad Mood Rising saw Steven get his comeuppance with the MCU returning to form and delivering both what the fans wanted and what the didn't expect. But the question remains, is this a fluke? Are fans going to turn on Buzzos and co. again with the next release?

I don't know what comeuppance means, but I agree with this and think the tracks on BMR are far superior to anything on love and death, so hopefully Melvins keep going that route.

I appreciate the sound collages of Love and think they add an interesting flavor to their catalog. I liked Working With God a lot. Five Legged Dog was the most creative retrospective that has ever existed

In all fairness I'd say Tom Morello is as good a guitarist as Meg White is a drummer. Decent. Serviceable. Kind of identifiable. But easy to imitate and far from a masterclass.

I don't think Ipecac have sold a standalone DVD in over 10 years? Maybe the Fantomas - Director's Cut Live one was the last one?

However they did package a DVD/Blu-Ray with the Mr. Bungle livestream album a couple of years ago so maybe that's an idea for the Melvins, an audio version of the concert in a digi-pak with the full DVD/BR or even package it with the next studio album? It's not like they would sell many copies of the DVD/BR anyway so maybe incentivise people to buy the next album.

2015 was the last Melvins and Ipecac stand-alone DVD, "51 Days Across The USA". I don't know, if the Melvins are making a joke out of the announcement, just fucking with us old timers who would still buy Blu-Rays/ DVDs and support them, that's sort of stupid. You can count me out in signing up for any sort of Melvins streaming service. [-(
The audio has already been released from the "Covid concert" aka Obscene Live Stream, as a $5 cheapy CD, and a 3LP set from Shoxop. The only way I'd buy the Blu-Ray is if it has a shit ton of extras, because I really don't care to view that performance, with the band wearing face diapers. That would only be a one time view.

Houdini live 2005 is a vinyl first.
Ah, i guess Colossus... would be the eventual holy grail of Melvins vinyl should it ever appear! I hope they do that at some point. Darn i had forgot that Bulls and Electro were both released separately. Ipecac sneakily suggesting it never appeared before which i suppose technically they didn't TOGETHER.

Yep, but those Scion CDs were burned with 2 second gaps!

I own one and still have a sealed extra. I had flipped one or two as I found them in clearance bins throughout the city before Amazon started being dicks about third party sellers. Oh well, not like it really made me money or anything. Here I go rambling, sorry, the topic was re-releases? I wouldn't mind a MLVNSvsMPLS vinyl set. Always loved the look of that package. Think it was only ever CDs, correct me if I'm wrong.

Are these 3 releases the only Melvins records that had never got a vinyl release previously? Are there any other ones?

COD is not on vinyl.

Bulls and bees and electroretard were previously available on vinyl.
Also, the songs from tres cabrones were released on various vinyl singles and eps.
Houdini live 2005 is a vinyl first.

Bulls & Electro was originally supposed to be released on vinyl back around when the CD reissue came out but didn't happen until now for whatever reason.

Stoked about all three of these reissues to be honest, especially Tres Cabrones. I really like that record and having to listen to it through like six different releases on vinyl is pretty awkward.

A proper Crybaby 2LP might make some Melvins fans happy. Not me but I'd imagine some diehards would be stoked about that.

It's the 2015 Ipecac re-issue double with The Bulls & The Bees that is being released on vinyl for the first time.

Kind of funny since it'll have to be a double album. Bulls and Bees might barely fit on one LP side but with a sacrifice in playability or even some editing for time. Electroretard is 40 minutes even after they chop shit storm down to an hour.

So conceivably we will see some Mackie tour versions of each record individually which excites me a bit. Especially since I adore Bulls & Bees

I agree it is a pretty bizarre pairing but obviously the rights to the masters of both reverted back to the band then licenced it to Ipecac who no doubt couldn't see the financial justification of re-releasing them both individually and just slapped them on the same disc together, in reverse order of when they were released too.
Title: Re: 2023
Post by: amazonAMAZON on April 05, 2023, 12:45:35 AM
Yeah it's an odd pairing. Also it's really three eras of the band since that Tipping and parts of Shit storm go back to the Mark D days. It makes sense to me, though. Or about as much sense as Love and Death.

I just wish they'd cobble together a Singles style release of all the awesome non album stuff especially the vinyl only stuff. They could name it something about dogs if that makes them happy.

As far as those vinyl reissues go I snagged Tres Cabrones and Live Houdini. The 12-page booklets imply more Buzzo liner notes and I'd love to read more stories on these records. What he wrote on GPT, HAT and Senile Animal were all fun reads.

The Bulls and Electro pairing
I really wish they had never paired those two releases together originally on Ipecac. Other than being previously hard to get hold of, thematically they don't go together at all. They don't flow together well either - both have totally different band line-ups and are recorded years apart. Two distinctly different creative endeavours. I appreciate that they became more widely available with this, but it felt like such a lazy, strange combination. In some other parallel universe, Bulls & Bees was a proper full length! The real, true 4th Big Melvins release and not some neglected EP!

IMO, the best release they put out together too. That EP is absolute gold, sounds completely different and original to everything else in the Melvins discography, which overall is very good but that EP was just some next level shit. I'm still a bit sore that they didn't record more songs and put out an album of that stuff instead and that it was the last Big Melvins release. I suppose one good thing was they went out on a high.

I passed on factory Devil You Know/Knew factory LP @ Shoxop. Doesn't seem worth $35 to me, would have grabbed it for $25. Fine w/ just the CD on that. Not an ultra-completist.

From Buzzo's comments there are 3 limited edition releases this year. The Devil You Know EP, the recently announced Throbbing Gristle LP with Void Manes and then later in the year some kind of release with Helms Alee. Featuring a re-recording of At The Stake, a cover of a Helms Alee track and some new material. And that sounds like it for the year until 2024!

The fact that it's 3 from Ipecac, 3 with Revolver and 2 (and one on the way) with Haze may mean another AmRep! The Helms Alee thing. Although the fact that the Melvins FB keep linking the Ipecac site probably means it's gonna be out with them.

Consider this: Melvins have been working on their best Throbbing Gristle impression, they've gone back and re-recorded older, heavier material, and now with Dale and Buzz living in different cities, they're probably passing demos back and forth, like the Bad Mood Rising sessions.

If they can harness all these elements into one recording their next, LP will be total tits!
