cool, i havent recieved it yet but in 2 weeks ill have it....cant wait!
the only song i heard was mombius hibachi..... and that song and music video blew my mind away... is the rest of the album like mombius hibachi?
not quite, its more moody and soundscape style,
there is another heavy song called In the Freaktose
the Bugs are Dying though, and it kicks holy ass!

I just said that chachi! you knob
yeah, you won't be dissapointed it is a weird album. a few of the songs a really dark and slow (the first one is SUPER slow)
track #8 is, to me, one of the most bizarre melvins songs
the last songs totally rocks out too
yeah, real fuckin' weird album
It's good, but by no means one of my favorite Melvins releases.
It is my opinion with a good producer kicking them in the ass it would have been better. But they were probably flat broke at the time.
honky is definitively on of MY favourite melvins albums... honky, bullhead,
ozma and hat if i had to pick a few. i just love the atmosphere that is
bound to that album - you can't go wrong with honky i say
btw, yeah i read that they just recorded some random stuff it in a few
hours/days without knowing how the result will be like
I think Honky is one of the top 3 Melvins albums - they just show so much range in this one. It also has their best metal song "In the Freaktose..." and one of ther best weird songs "Air Breather...". If you expect something like HAT or maggot or stoner witch - you will be sorely disappointed. It has only two "standard" rock song in it.
Honky is a great experimental, bizzare, classic album. Be patient, and let it grow on you. 8)
one of the best... similar to bootlicker, very fucking killer!

That was me who posted this, I forgot to log in.
Listening to it now, man Mark D had the ambient keyboard side of Melvins to himself!!! This record is one of the wildest and most flowing chapters of their whole recorded catalog (so far!).
his time with Dale and Buzz during the Atlantic years was
excellent musically in playing, recording and producing.
in my opinion, mark is the best bassist they've had so far. honky is a great album indeed.
kevin slays mark d! and joe preston was more melvins THAN the melvins! :)
mark d was ...ok :P
Mark D.'s actual bass playing was adequate. I think his other contributions to the band were more significant
texasucks
it was definitely a nice touch :D

Much like Santa and the Easter Bunny, Joe Preston isn't real.
The Tooth Fairy is very, very real however.
Joe's real you dumbshit. He emailed me a few mp3s and some brand new pics. The songs sound fucking rad. Stuff he says he's working on for sunn and his next Thrones CD. He's also shaved off his beard, cut his hair and lost about 50 lbs. Joe if you read this when you get back from Portland, thanks very much for even taking the time to write me. You are a real gentleman and a true artist.

jj, what did he send you?
Suck my testicles of doom you faggot, I met Joe Preston in Portaland in '91 and I sold that fucker (a substance I'm not at liberty to talk about) and he gave me Lysol for free. So fuck you.
no need to be a rude boy, geez
i got an mp3 for glacier. and three pics of him. he looks so
friggin skinny now! but he's smiling and laffing in a giant
pair of orange overalls. yep! :shock:

what hell is PORTA"?LAND?
:shock: :shock: :shock:
PORTA in portuguese language is DOOR......
Crazy shit, man!
:shock: :shock: :shock:
He must be on the crack pipe!!!
honky is one of my personal favorites...its weird seeing people talking about it cuz most melvins fans i know dont really like it...
i really dig the experimentation on the production end of the album...very interesting textures and they compliment each other very well...
great album to play for your grandma
-d.
Jesus Fucking Christ people, it's called a JOKE
Maybe you've heard of one?
hmmm...who cares for one...two, are u going to cry about it? i enjoy the album..thats all that matters..who cares what it is..i like it....
its kind of like hotdogs...i dont care whats in them, they taste good...
so what if it was a joke? tho i highly doubt it is....all melvins stuff has a humorous touch to it but it doesnt mean that its all novelty shit...
i dont see honky as a novelty album by any means..just experiemental...
and if you dont like it, well..go ahead and cry some more...stomp your feet too...it makes me happy

Wow, a "Your Mother" joke. How cutting edge.
Okay, hold on here. I'm new to the board but longtime Melvins fan, and am wondering why the hell Joe Preston would read this.
"They All Must Be Slaughtered" is no joke. In the wee hours that song scares the hell outta me.
Honky is one of the few albums I can't really get into. it has been a while since I've listened to it though.
Testicles of Doom, that "cutting edge" had me laughing.

W3RD!
Mombius Hibachi rocks though
Yeah for $8.99US at Cellophane Square on the Ave.
God i love the melvins.
honky so Rocks.
has anybody got a copy of the 20th anniversary show at the Capitol theatre in olympia -Wa. March 9, 2004?
i remember hearing, after the show, that a few sites had it up, and some were excellent quality. I can't download - i've got a dial up - so slow. i need to trade with somebody, if you know what i mean? get in Touch!
Fucking Honky man!
Representing.
Underated as hell.
A trip and a half it is.
That one song where the drum gets faster is a drum machine right? First time I heard it I was fucking fried and thought it was Dale going that fast, that thought blew my mind like never before. If it is Dale playing some distorted drum, that is awesome. Anyone know?
I love that tripped out Melvins sound that occurs on Lysol, Honky and Bootlicker.
Funny fucking CD as well... THe song about the record company made me laugh my ass off.
it's a drum machine dude :)
I can't listen to Honky when I'm blazed! They All Must Be Slaughtered is some scary, scary stuff. Just goes to show that the Melvins could so easily do film scores if they wanted...
Honky is definatly one of my favourite Melvins albums, it is the most underated in my opinion. Sometimes it can be hard to listen to though depending on your mood. 'They all must be Slaughtered' is scary as fuck.
It does take a few spins before it settles on ya, but indeed truly a great album. (http://www.metalgbg.com:8000/modules/Forums/images/smiles/headbang.gif)
man in the freaktose the bugs are dying air breather deep in the hands of morphius
honky is in my top3 of all time :)
When you are stoned you can hear better the instruments in they all must be slaughtered. B)
now thats my boy : wink :
Honky is the tits. I particularly enjoy the polaroids on the packaging. And also the fact that it's very difficult to get here in England and therefore I am always one step ahead of my fellow melvins loving friends. Muwahahaha!
But fear not, I share the Honky love with my boys.
They all must be slaughtered is too low key to be scary - i think its kinda nice like the good witch of the west -
now air breather that is scary - i have gotten a genuine fright more than once when listening to the first loud bit kick in with that disembodied moan - right after that low isolated lonely whisper - and the end of it with the psychotic screaming.
What a Response! Yeah - i guess honky really is a "Great Album" . like i said - I just got it, used -hhhehehehehh- but in Prime condition, and i haven't even associated the music with the song names yet. But many of the songs i recognize (themusic) from some of the shows i been too.
How exciting. the reason i bought it was becuz it had the "original" of Lovely Butterflies on it, and last tour Buzz was destroying that song, soooo..., well that's my story and i am sticking to it.
Saw the Von Bondies last night they were Fabulous - fabulous - fabulous. Wow! Honest - i am not kidding. When those two gals sing together it is just the most beautiful harmony. Sounds like Bananarama (when the gals harmonize)
The Dood - Well - He is the Dood. Great songs - except for one or two - Awesome Guitar- the kid is Gifted. it just flows. I loved it - definitely woth staying out late on a (Not Rainy) monday night in Seattle .
Thanks again for all the cool responses - From All over the World!
That's so cool. Rock on....
Quote from: popeyeThanks again for all the cool responses - From All over the World!

Harry Lauders Walking Stick Tree
Is that enough to ay to all of you?
it is my 8th fav. melvins tune.
:twisted:
Whenever I need a laugh I stick on ''...Satans Sideshow'' cos it always has me in fits.
Grin also deserves a mention!
Far and away their best LP, as far as my ears are concerned.
I'm looking for "Lysol" next (now). But..., whatever i find - used - for $8.99US or less, well, i prob'ly will pounce on it. I've got 2 Great record stores in the "neighborhood" Sonic Boom in Fremont, and Cellophane Square on the Ave, both of em keep "Large" well stocked Melvins Sections, with used cd's popping in and out all the time. Well - this is seattle. the melvins prob'ly have more fans per capita (whatever that means?) in seattle than anywhere else.
i have Colossus of destiny and actually like it a lot, play it all the time - also play the new Fantomas "delirium cordia" pretty reg. I just like that kinda stuff.
Think i missed a good band last night - Secret Machines - ? - Anybody?
They got a great write up in the current "Stranger" the local entertainment guide.
And i loved the Von Bondies last monday night, they were Great.
Really, just Fun to be there with them. Later....
honky scared the shit outta me, it is so differnt from HAT and Houdini. but yea next i wana check out deep six, is it still around or has it been deleted? do i need to get it 2nd hand???
Yeah, it's deleted but still fairly easy to aquire. Check the used section on Amazon.

secret machines are really good..sorry to say you missed a good show. and you should check out the new kayo dot. most excellent.
It's rich aromatic first track, "All Of Them must be slaughtered" owes much to the lysol spice
apon first taste of mombious hobachi, it may owe a lot to the meatier stoner witch or bullhead, but it is soon punctuated by a highly orginal aftertaste
youll need some; pink floyd, the residents, prog rock,sludge, grinning, vocal effects, 1 lovely butterfly, a touch of crover, osbourne, duetrom and bad record companies for the dish. and to finish off the dish well as a nice amount of crunchy riffs and spicy solos In The Freaktose The Bugs Are Dying- a delicacy that makes most other hard rock/heavy metal toppings seem pathetic in comparison.
Well that's my effort for this week... oh dear i hope not. :roll:
I could go on and on about Honky..., why not? I love it from beginning to end. Lovely Butterflies is just one of my favo songs, it's so extreme. and laughing with lucifer at satan's sideshow - well, it's just hilarious.
Buzzo is a pretty creative guy, and honky is like a breath of fresh air.
i never really liked the album until you guys were saying how lustmord+melvins reminded you of honky. Now I understand it. Beauty of the Melvins...no instant gradification.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone could give me a review of Honky, most of the one's I've read haven't been very helpful. The most I've gathered is that it is one of their more "experimental" records, which dosen't help much with the Melvins. Oh and is the final song "Int The Freaktose..." really about thirty minutes? That's what the given length is on All Music Guide, but they've been wrong on a few things I've got. Well thanks.
Perhaps I could be of some help. The reason why people describe Honky as experimental is because this one picks up where Stag left off, but to me, it seems much darker and heavier. Not heavier in a chugging, detuned, distorted way, but heavier in that the songs have more weight and some of them are stretched out longer forming into weird arrangements. It was like they were cramming more experimentation into less songs. Some of the songs feature blips from synthesizers, a drum machine, or textured guitar effects.
The last song is actually only about 4 minutes long or so, but the rest of the disk rides out in gloomy silence and that is why it might tell you that the track is 30 minutes.
Seriously, go get this disk and listen to it from start to finish without skipping or fast forwarding a single song. You'll be pleasantly suprised by the overall texture and mood of this amazing Melvins record!
Yeah, In The Freaktose The Bugs Are Dying, is only like 5 minutes, but the track keeps going on for 25 minutes of silence before the CD finally ends. :D Honky is a really good record. There's only two rocking heavy songs (Mobius Hibachi and In The Fre....), and the rest is all dark and experimental Laughing With Satan At Lucifer's Sideshow is really cool, and pretty funny (you'll just have to listen to it :wink: ). Air Breather In The Death Of Morphius (or whatever it's called) reminds me alot of Pigs Of The Roman Empire (the song), only about 10 minutes shorter. Lets see... Pitfalls In Serving Warrants is a really good, delicate song. Anyway, the whole album is dark, trippy, laid back, fucked up, funny, or spooky.
Honky is easily one of the best 3 Melvins albums - it's got a good mixture of all aspects of Melvins' personality. Now let's see:
1. They must ... - This is a long slow, 'ambient' song with some lady on vocals - pretty good.
2. Mombius Hibachi - Short two minute faster Melvins rock, excellent song, I find myself listening to it over and over again.
3. Lovely Butterfly - Distorted everything, evil song.
4. Pitfalls... - Weird spacy Melvins style blues
5. Air Breather... - Long, trippy, gorgeous song - one of their top 5 IMHO
6. Laughing... - Very funny song about record deals
7. HOW - distorted drums and electronic screeching
8. Harry... - Another Melvins blues
9. Grin - Sounds like they are fucking around with bleeps and dist. drums. But still catchy at the end!
10. In the Freaktose... - The closest they've come to recording a straightahead metal song. Really, really good.
If you want something more detailed, feel free to go ahead and fuck yourself ;)
yeah dude air breather is one of my melvins faves
"they rejected your video. so what do you want us to do?"
kat bjelland -- babes in toyland does the vox on track 1
the last part of "air" is, it's too long...but that middle part with dale...yes
the melvins "steal" a bit from pink floyd on this one :) you know what i mean! :P
like that annoying chick from Friends says it: Oh.My.God
after one listen to honky I'm blown. after this post i'm going to my bedroom where i will go down on my knees and thank God for the Melvins.
how can anyone be this talented and completely varied in what they do? i have no other words but to say that they are genuis.
they are now officially my favourite band.
i will soon eat, sleep, breathe and sweat Honky. If I talk too much about the superiority and greatness of the Melvins, please delete me from this board.
oh and by the way - Melvins, bearing Honky in mind, makes a band like Pearl Jam look like Christina Aguilera.
holy shiiiiiiitt!!!!
everyone, go listen to In the Freaktose top volume now! I am having a ecstatic seizure here.
holy shit.
don't worry. Soon you'll realize they're medio-core.....pheff, yeah right.
musefreek,
You have been banned from this forum.
That enough about the Melvins.
baba booy.
Ha ha, he has finally seen the LIGHT.
i am pretty ashamed to say this, and i am not going to explain if this is nonsense to anyone, but here: i created a facebook melvins group, if anyone wants to join it, let me know :oops: :oops: :oops: 8)
What about those of us who aren't in college anymore? Can we still be part of your online directory that connects people through social networks at colleges?
you know, i don't think so, it is unfortunate. i believe myspace.com is similar and doesn't involve any sort of school affiliation, but i don't have one of those and am not interested in starting one..
bummer :x
musefeek: congratulation! :P (man, do u have pRick? coz if you dont have you dont know what u talking haha :!: )
and i have to say
really serious
sorry but christina ag. is better than perl jam coz she has better songs and she has still long hairs! :idea: :roll:

Quote from: popeye..is better than Pearl jam in the Titz dept. But pearl jam is Still an asskicking Rock-n-Roll Band.

Honky's probably my fave Melvins album right about now.
Pearl Jam ain't for everyone.
that third peral jam album...that one's cool.
lost dogs isn't bad...they were just totally overplayed in the early 90's.
They are for real. A serious rock-n-roll band. They kicked out of" the Big one" many years ago. for better or for worse they don't do videos.
In fact they do everything they can to avoid "the Big Hype"
See them live and you'll understand why they have become the "New Dead"
Their last studio cd "Riot Act" was fine with a half dozen hard rocers on it. But with no videos and no pimping by the label/band they just don'e get the same exposure they once did.
That's the way they want it!
Quote from: popeyeSee them live and you'll understand why they have become the "New Dead"

:lol:
Just curious, because I thought it was and I just got it for 11 bucks on ebay, but I would have thought it would have went for more.
Now I just need to get me a actual record player. i was just planning ahead.
That makes two records I have that I cant play. Honky and that seven inch that AMREP released at the last Minneapolis show.
i think that you can still order it from Am Rep, i got one a couple years ago anyway...
I went to their site, and it seems they only have the cd in stock. But I could be wrong. anyways it doesnt really matter.
Holy crap. I love this album. "Air Breather" is now one of my favorites because of the weird vocals and the way the song keeps changing direction. "Mombius Hibachi" has got to be one of the most heaviest songs ever, and I love the weird-as-frick sound on "Lovely Butterfly". Sounds like they recorded the song on a smashed-up tape recorder. "They Must All Be Slaughtered" may be the perfect song to play on the radio outside on Halloween to freak everyone out.
Wait, hold on a minute. I still need to listen to "Harry Lauder"! Well whatever. I'll do that tommorrow since I gotta go to bed.
Sorry for not shutting up about this album for a while, but this is amazing. If you have any thoughts, just post 'em here but I guess long-time members have already posted their thoughts about Honky millions of times. :-/
Am Rep just shipped my copy out. it's been soo long since i heard it, i can't wait!!! i can't even remeber the album it's been so long.
i used to have the sticker for this album on my bumper of my car. loved it. wore out in the weather though. :(
heheheheh
i remember being in a state of complete awe the first time i listened to honky. it was the best thing ever.
i mean, how can you ask for something better than the noise charged intro of In the Freaktose???
Haha, my dad walked in while I was listening to "Air Breather" around 6 minutes. He stood there, listened for a few seconds and said: "That really is some weird music there."
The Lovely Butterfly,Even better live :P
ya man this one is a total gem right from the packaging on down to the sounds they made
buzz, mark and dale hit the mother lode on this one, so precise, so mind blowing
I have to dig deeper into this release.
They All Must Be Slaughtered is definitely the best overlooked item in the Melvins canon though.
its like them doing Earth and Sunn sorta shit years before
Yeah!! - Actually, i really think Honky is - in fact- The melvin's Masterpiece.
Quote from: anaconda on October 21, 2005, 11:05:02 PM

Uhm.. Honkey was being released in 97 IIRC and Earth 2 in 93 right?
you know what i mean, years before themselves or something
I just noticed something. Near the end of "Pitfalls In Serving Warrants", it sounds a bit like "Goose Frieght Train".
And what's with the phone call at the end of "Grin"? I can't make out what they're saying.

It's some woman on about going to Roswell.
I have a question: at the end of 'Air Breather' when they go into that funk really distorted part, it sounds like there is someone screaming in the background. I think this is Patton. It's sounds exactly like one of his high pitched screams. Can anyone confirm?
Someone said that was "Theresa Screams" from the Singles collection put into the song. I think that it gives the last part of the song kind of a nightmarish feel.
I've always thought it was Kat Bjelland, she's credited with additional vocals on Honky
Quote from: anaconda on October 24, 2005, 04:24:04 PM

Same here. I rather believe the credits than 'someone'.
I kinda thought that kate bjelland's vocal credits refer to "they all must be slaughtered"
I think that was theresa from "theresa screams" fame on air breather. but now that you mention it I guess she would be credited. I dunno.
It sounds like Patton, but only because it is so distorted.
It could be anyone, even Buzz.
now that i've put it on a listened real close i'm not sure anymore,
but to me this is a total mark d kind of thing to do, studio tricks with
the theresa track being sampled cause it was on the same dat tapes
maybe. both are from amrep era so its plausible to me now. :o
just got this album in the mail. so much better than i remember! i'm not even done listening to it yet...more later.
does anybody else think that the 2nd half "Pitfalls in Serving Warrants" sounds a bit like the 2nd half of "Foaming"?
this has to be one of my favorite Melvins albums. i can't believe it has been away from me this long.
I'm starting to get even more into "Lovely Butterflies". Oh, the distortion.

i love the drum outro on the electroretard version too
Honky is one of my favorites by them! I did not expect to like it this much when I first bought it because it doesn't get talked up as much as Bullhead and Lysol, etc.
I really want this album, but its hell trying to track a copy down, is there any online sites anyone can suggest that i look on? Ive tried ebay to no avail, ive also checked Amazon (here in the UK), the only one on there is almost
here it is for $13 at amrep.
Apparently its not in stock there though. But thanks for the reply, i can keep checking i the hope they get them back in!
EDIT: Although they do have the Singles Collection in stock, which i also need, so thank you! Have some karma 8)
There's an LP version of Honky on ebay at the moment if that helps?

tried amazon.com (http://amazon.com) and/or interpunk.com (http://interpunk.com)?

You can get stuff from Amazon.com, I've done it in the past when in need of getting stuff. You just have to make sure the Market Place seller does International Shipping. Also (I think) you'll have to use a credit card.
Good luck with the bidding :wink:
I got my copy off of amazon.com and i live in the uk you just sign in as usual and order.
I think i got prick from there as well, if you get a good seller you can get it quickly as well.
Excellent, thanks for that info, ill go on Amazon.com payday and fill in the holes in my collection! :D
If all else fails, send me a PM and I'll post hi-bitrate mp3s of it for you.
i've bought lots of stuff on amazon.. shoes, books, dvds, you name it. i've never had any problems with international shipping. in fact, its often really cheap. sometimes its slow as hell though.
anyway, i found this:
http://www.discogs.com/sell/bylabel?label=Amphetamine+Reptile+Records
dunno if it works, i'm too lazy to log in :)
Sweet, I just ordered Honky from Discogs.
I actually found my copy in a used bin for 4 dollars at this store in Greensboro, NC called "Collectibles Too". On the same trip I found a Citizen Fish LP for a buck and a Black Flag "Family Man" LP signed by Henry Rollins for 10 dollars. Definitely a cool store.
Honky is rated in my top 3 melvins lp's.
Amazon is selling Honky for $40, so might want to look elsewhere...
i got my cd version last year in a used shop as well. only 6.99. but a friend of mine bought me the vinyl version of honky when it came out.

wow... $40 is a tad steep.
i actually got my copy from a store in melbourne for about AU$25, though it was back when it was released.
i'd pay whatever i had to for honky though, being one of my favourite melvins albums.
hope you find it somewhere anyway!!! :wink:
40 dollars is what I have to pay if I buy cds in Norway.
I dont buy many records in Norway...

I live in the south east, its dark here too in the winter, fall and early spring, but not as bad as further up the country.

I just put on a good record or movie, drinks some coffee and cheer up.
i too enjoy a good coffee, no starbucks just fresh brewed and steeped almost like tea.
Coffee is good.

Does anyone know where I could get a copy of Honky from? Used or new. I'd even be willing to trade for it. Just PM or email me
ebay.
Fart speaks the truth.
mp3 is always another option.
well i got the MP3 but i want a hard copy. And ebay might get a little expensive, i dont wanna play 25 bucks for a cd.
Amazon may have used ones.
yeah they do have them, but its 50 bucks... so im good on that
Found two copies for sale at GEMM for less than $15!! :D

I bought my copy a few months ago from discogs.com. A music store in Germany had it, I paid no more than 20 euros for it. I'll drop some more info about the store here if I can find it tonight.
I got mine on ebay from Germany for 10 Euros. So maybe look for it in Germany.
The guy who I contacted through discogs was Steff, check http://www.sunnymoon.info/ and sent them an email in English, or try search for it in German.
i snagged a copy of gemm yesterday so it's on its way. I downloaded it off soulseek and i think this is one of the best melvns albums i've heard. Anyone else think this?

honkey is special. no doubt. the most solid representation of the sadly brief amrep years. seems like this album was the beginning of the more experimental side of MELVINS. plus, don't tell me mombius hibachi doesn't rock your knickers off.
honkey is one of my favorites
i used to listen to it in Oregon when it rained for 30 days straight
darkened an already gloomy state of affairs.
too bad they didn't do more with amrep

they have done lots of singles (there is a cd with 12 of them)
I think its just a matter of circumstances.

This is not true, they recently worked with Amrep for a single, and will undoubtedly work with Amrep again in the future.
ain't it!
thanks butthole
I guess im not getting it now, the seller emailed me and said they dont have it. anyone want to sell/trade me a copy? pm me.

Good call.

I've been hard and heavy on Honky for the last week or so.
right now I'd call it my favorite MELVINS album.
dark, twisted, noisey, odd, completely different from any other MELVINS release.
grin, arms of morpheus, mombius, butterfly, you can't tell me these aren't genious creations.
I consider Honky a blueprint for The Bootlicker and The Maggot.
Hey Schnab, what do you think about Honky? Would he read posts in the Melvins section? Maybe we can start making fun of him over here? Thoughts?

I never really thought of that but you're absolutely right.
heavy as all hell: mombius, butterly (maggot) - mellow:grin, slaughtered (bootlicker)
noisey: lucifer, morpheus (COD)
interesting theory.
Grin even has the tempo of Let It All Be. You could perfectly lay down the Let It All Be drumbeat under that song, even Buzz's vocals on both songs match perfectly.
I think Honky is the Melvins' best album. It's like they took from their other music what made them so unique, experimental, interesting, and put it on an album by itself. E.g their other albums are beer and this is vodka :P

Honky is a total masterpiece. Especially the song Air Breather Deep in the Arms of Morpheus. That song is rarely mentioned but I think it's one of the Melvins finest.

Seriously, Honky is a splendid Album, not for the masses, but definately an album that challenges you. Arrogant and not very accessible, just like we want The Melvins to be.
In The Freaktose is my favourite, although it`s the most accessible perhaps.

bUTTHOLE... I was just starting to like you, don't blow it. :shock:
for your information Lily loves Honky. she's especially fond of Laughing w/ Lucifer and the first part of Grin.
tears of sadness, no! drools of joy!
"no way is Honky genious...." why I oughta.... what the hell is this guy thinking?
wait till I tell Lily what you said, she is going to be gravely dissapointed.
Honky allowed them to unleash their creative delusions. What makes Honky so genius is that it was Buzzo, Dale and Mark D (don't forget him, this guy shows us some fine soloing on In The Freaktose) who made this album possible.
but they didn't really butt(holeman) heads with atlantic. buzz has said they really did whatever they wanted.
This is totally off topic - But I watched High Fidelity last night, and spotted a Honky poster twice! :D

"we don't do special packaging", etc. etc.
besides the fact that the music speaks for itself. don't tell me the atlantic releases don't sound a little more radio-friendly than the am rep, ipecac, boner, C/Z records. there had to be some big-brother influence there.
I've always held the atlantic years as my least favorite in MELVINS history. not to say that there aren't some classic songs/albums there. just speaking rank-wise.

I think making a record for a major label or a small indie label are two different things. I think with the albums for Atlantic they were really discovering how studios work. You can hear this especially on Stoner Witch I think, and needless to say Stag. Also, I think with three Atlantic albums, they were more going for 'albums', with 'proper' 'songs', as in HAT is more of an album than let's say CoD. Maybe that's the result of discovering the studio, using different sounds in different songs. So you get songs, instead of one big happy noisefest. So in that case maybe albums like GPT, Lysol and Eggnog were more the result of the 'at-the-time-state-of-being' of the Melvins, and are Stag and Honky more proof of what they were going for. Two different things. One has to do with who you are now, the other with who you want to be, present/future. Houdini is an exception, since it was recorded without a steady bassist, and - something that always plays a not to underestimate role - the personal mood, 'state of being', of the guys. I'm sure you guys remember that Mark D interview, posted here some time ago.

is special packaging really gonna change the music though? when was the last time the melvins did any special packaging on any of their main releases?
I don't know if you'd count it, but there was the special (A)SA that was sold on the last tour, which now goes for $200 + on E-Bay. I sure wish I woulda picked one up when I had the chance. :x
i wouldn't considering it was so few copies and being hand made and all.
"special packaging" was just a loose example.
I still say the fact that they were on a major label was influencing the music, even if slightly.
example: listen to the single version of Night Goat. long, alienating bass intro. now listen to the Houdini version.
short, more radio-friendly bass intro.
I'm sure they felt some power of suggestion from the guys who were writing the checks and wanting to see their investment pay off. the fact that the hired pro-producers supports that in my mind.
the best thing MELVINS ever did was parting ways with atlantic records.

I think this example says more about their approach back then, than how they approached the revisited Houdini. Also, when you use the term 'radio friendly', you might mean more of a 'song', in the way I'm sure Buzzo appreaciates a good 'pop' song (David Bowie, The Beach Boys), and the recording possibilities a major label offers makes it more tempting and interesting to try that out.

to me the fact that the Gluttony & Lust version goes back to the original intro, in fact even more-so noisey and drawn out, only supports my theory.
ie: Buzz has reached a plateau known as "I'm going to do whatever the hell I want" and this is his official presented version.
NOT the more brief version from Houdini. therefore, I assume he prefers the long bass intro version.
if the amount of conversation the subject of Honky has sparked isn't testament to its legacy......

Well you can take these facts and use them to back up your previously stated theory, or you could simply look at it as a recorded version versus a live version, or as two completely different versions simply because there was more than ten years between the two. I'm pretty sure that even when they were on Atlantic, they did whatever the fuck they wanted to do.

Do that. Remember, try to listen to it as the blueprint of the trilogy albums.
I agree 100% with Glen on this one. Although Buzz and Dale are very noncomform, I`m pretty sure they tried to give something back to a company who could make them rich. Good then, to see that the art was victorious at the end. NB! But the Atlantic-records were still masterpieces, in their own way.

Glen: Wouldn`t you say asa is even more radio-friendly than anything they ever did on atlantic?
ASA is the most accessible Melvins-record ever, but I think that has mainly to with the fact that Big Business are a little closer to mainstream than Melvins. Jared and Cody has brought in their elements and combined with Buzz and Dales ideas you get the sound you have in ASA.
ASA is not very interesting to listen to on the cd-player time and time again, but live the songs fits perfect.
Quote from: Erikkerik on January 16, 2008, 04:29:07 PM
Glen: Wouldn`t you say asa is even more radio-friendly than anything they ever did on atlantic?
well said. why is that (IMO)? that would be the influence of Big Business. like Buzz said recently (loosely quoted):
"if we've got the vocal abilities (jared) why not use them?" as an example.
I think Buzz's intention is to be efficient and productive and use the tools set before him. Big Business is, like I said, ROCK.
half of MELVINS is Big Business so now you got at least 50% rock. well lets say 35% since Buzz writes the songs.
its a matter of maturity and experience though, to me. this coming from a grizzled 34 year old and former dumb punk kid.
you get to a point in life, which I believe Buzz and Dale hit awhile back, where you start NOT doing things for shock factor and start doing things because you believe in them. efficiency and productivity become much higher on your list of priorities. you start trying to make "smart" decisions. I think this theory is what guides MELVINS these days.
Buzz doesn't give a fuck about "scenes" or "controversy" anymore. he's more concerned with, like I said "efficiency and productivity".
its tough to explain. but do you get what I'm trying to say? its about being a "grown-up", right schnabster? :D
what the hell does this have to do with (A)SA being radio-friendly? it all goes back to the fact that Buzz and Dale are making decisions solely from their own knowledge, experience, desires, etc. NOT from a "lets rattle cages" stand point.
in other words... if Joe Preston would have rejoined MELVINS (A)SA would most likely be more like Thrones, low-end and more experimental. why? because that is the most logical song writing approach incorporating the tools at hand.
now lets review: when MELVINS recorded HOUDINI and it was somewhat radio-friendly it was because a major label had a new potential cash cow during a time when the "seattle" scene was exploding. of course there was some head-butting between the artists (MELVINS) who were looking to record THEIR music, and the corporation (atlantic) who was looking to take advantage of a rapidly growing form of music (grunge). the label found ways to influence the situation (ie sneaking Kurt Cobain, the BIG name, in the mix). as time went on (stoner witch, stag) the label realized they were overmatched with a band as hard-headed as MELVINS.
when MELVINS recorded (A) Senile Animal and it was somewhat radio-friendly it was because it was SOLELY what MELVINS wanted to create. the only influence was the artists themselves (that being Big Biz joining the group). there was no other ulterior motive involved anywhere.
whats this got do with Honky? Honky was the ultimate release of what MELVINS had been holding onto over the previous few years. Am Rep said "do ANYTHING you want. we're just happy to have you here." Atlantic most-likely never said that.

good spellcheck there, batguano.
Honky is the last album where the Melvins tried to do as many different things as possible rather than focusing on one idea and exploring its different aspects over the course of an album. I'm not saying either approach is better, I'm just saying.
Hey people, A rare post from Octane.... Long time listener, first time caller.
Just re discovered honkey recently. DAMN . Got to say it, Mombius Hibachi is a top ten all time Melvins song. Slaughtered....... GENIUS (pure genius) Buzzo, Dale and MarkD at their best. More to come from 'ol Nick on this board people. I'm a huge fan who feels that now's the the time to unite with my fellow fans of the greatest band of at least the last 200-325 years. Jesus H. Chrimmeny people. I don't think I've ever been excited about any release ever, EVER, than the up coming Nude with boots..... I believe that this line up has more potential than any line up the Melvins have ever brought .
It's "Honky". But yes, I agree - it's a great album. So much so for me it's just behind The Bootlicker as my favourite Melvins album.
Honky is a great album. It provides the blue print of a few styles they would later explore further on The Maggot and The Bootlicker.
:shock:
one of the albums that has changed my life!
think the band was really "into" Pink Floyd at the time.
more obscure than the previous Stag, if i remember correctly it was recorded less than a week.they don't really love it, don't know why.
anyway, i have always thought to Mark Deutrom as the most influent third piece in the band,even if i prefer Kevin as bass player.
hope nobody will kill me for this opinion :)

It should be saved under Album reviews and enjoyed by all.
Lazerman is Anaconda's old name.
Yep.
I actually bought another copy of Honkey last week.
not that this has anything to do with the actual album itself but...
I'm in the market for a new Honky myself. some fuck bag parked me in somewhere so I thought I'd be cute and write them a nasty little letter. in my road rage haste I failed to notice that my Honky sleeve was directly under my little yellow sticky note. my writing transfered through so now you can see something to the effect of "dumb ass" and "nice park job" imprinted in the cardboard cover. sucks for me. lesson learned.
That's why I bought it actually, to do someone else a favor :)
the cd is cardboard?
The outside, yes.
You shouldn't be taking an out of print album out of your CD rack!
Burn it and leave the original in peace!

not that this has anything to do with the actual album itself but...
I'm in the market for a new Honky myself. some fuck bag parked me in somewhere so I thought I'd be cute and write them a nasty little letter. in my road rage haste I failed to notice that my Honky sleeve was directly under my little yellow sticky note. my writing transfered through so now you can see something to the effect of "dumb ass" and "nice park job" imprinted in the cardboard cover. sucks for me. lesson learned.
I don't fully understand the nature of this incident and so cannot make my usual clever comments. Did the guy steal a space you'd been waiting for, or did he park his car next to yours without leaving any room for you to get in and out of your car?
In either case, proper etiquette is to scratch the shit out of driver side door with your key.

No, that's fucked.
My car got keyed the other day. I didn't block anyone or offend anyone in any way, but damaging another man's property is going too far in my opinion...especially when you face having to pay the repair bill if it's bad enough scratch. A note is fine.
Honky is a great album in my opinion and one of the reasons why I love Melvins as much as I do. They continue to put out whatever they want without giving a shit what anyone else might think.

It's easy to say "I love Honky", man. Everyone loves Honky.
Say "I love the Crybaby" and I'll shake your hand.
Honky is in my top five Melvins releases. I love in the freaktose...One of their best ever songs. As for Crybaby I'm not sure it's possible to love it. I love maybe 75% of that album but certain songs must be skipped.
fuckin great album,wondering why Buzz doesn't like it! :-k

I hear lots of theories about this.
Never really looked into it but the one I always liked best was the simple one, it shows the different "personalities" the band has in their music...
The way I understood it was that
Lukin had no ambition, couldn't play in key so he fed off their talent, a maggot
Preston started a fan club, wrote fanzines about them and begged to be in the band, a bootlicker
Deutrom got all pissy in interviews after he was kicked out, holding a grudge, a crybaby

Or what about a metal band selling out?
Come out with a debut album, kicks everyone's ass. Maggot.
Start to soften their sound for potential to sell more. Bootlicker
That didn't work....next is a release that reeks of desperation... ie full of covers and collaborations. Crybaby
It makes sense when you think of Metallica's career this way!

I think The Bootlicker is the most unlistenable from the Trilogy.
Not that literally, Melvins don't work like that.

I love the two country songs. The songs I would generally skip would be G.I. Joe and Smells like Teen Spirit. It's not a bad album by any means. Mine is no disgrace , spineless, dry drunk, moonpie are all flawless songs. I even like the tool song.

English as second language/grammar/translation differences; "I only don't like smells like teen spirit".
I thought the word "slts" confused him.
Now I understand thanks. I thought it was secret code or an abbreviation of sluts.
"In the Freaktose" has some of Buzz's best guitar solos, all collaged into a hazy, drippy, shred-tastic mess. What a fucking great song. That song has everything I associate with perfect music. I love that song. Fuck. It's so damn good. I like the voice modulation as well. And it's so damn creepy, maybe as creepy as the beautiful opening song, "All of Them..."
Easily in my top 5 Melvins Albums.
Quote from: Braykfast on January 25, 2010, 12:55:18 PM
"In the Freaktose" has some of Buzz's best guitar solos
and the fact mark d plays that solo doesn't make it any less good :)
hah, yeah i thought the solos were a bit out of buzz' league
Well shit. It's still ridiculously awesome. Shit. I thought Buzz did that. I wonder if he could play it. It doesn't matter. What a goddamn great fucking song.
yeah Freaktose has like an octave divider on the vocals like EVIL DEAD !!!
plus I hear some weird Drumpad rythem going down...totally over the choppy slap bass near the beggining.
that is the thrashiest melvins album In my opinion.
makes me feel like I'm in a dark and muggy swamp when I hear that shit!
anyone else actually know that the symbol on the cover is Lucifer's signature?
theres some worthless trivia, 16th century witch trials.
(there you go...HEY LOOK AT ME EVERYONE!!! I know stuff. )
bah, you don't care do you?
I always wondered about the Scream at the end of that track, It's probly just buzz...
you can crank up a distortion pedal on a mic and make a whisper sound like a scream.
funny my ears train in on that vocal signature, and I tell you It could be anything!
It could be something that isn't even a scream at all...it could be manipulated to sound like anything...something slowed down and distorted...filtered and whatnot...god knows...but I can tell you that If it WAS patton, I'm a monkey's uncle, yeah serious...
*ring*
"hello, mike patton speaking"
"yeah this is Buzz, um, we need you down here in the studio ASAP, see theres' this one part in one song..yeah, we need 3 second scream...naw...nothing else, thats all...we were too lazy and Figured if it was gonna be anybody...it be you...and another thing...SHUT-UP!!!"
and for that matter, it was the second album I ever got...and yeah it was a game of pokemon for melvins records after that...
"gotta catch em' aaallll!!!"
funny this album is a rare bird, It is by FAR the LAST one you'd find in a record store melvins section up here.
I was lucky enough to buy up the last of the vinyl at Rotate this before it totally disapeared off the shelf indefinetly.
I don't know what was going on when they did this, but it is something most bands never live up to in their career, it's a good bet that this is what it sounds like in Buzz's head most of the time...hell...it's what my head is like most of the time.
this album kind of stands a world apart from any other melvins I've heard, I'm still hoping they'll do something in the same spirit of this album again.

no Mike Patton on this album fortunately :D
right before the elavator music tune...at the very end...I only have the vinyl so maybe you can tell in the CD mix a little more clearly.
I never heard it on CD...I never heard Stag on CD either...or Bullhead.

To respond to a question from two years ago... the song is called Air Breather Deep in the Arms of Morphius. Not sure who's screaming there, would probably guess Buzz.

Hey, I do what I can :)
Either there are posts now missing from this thread or I just didn't bother to embed a quote.
I was a newcomer then.
someone said they thought It was mike patton screaming on the track or something in their post.
anyway Honky Is like an acidheads worst nightmares.
it's not even human.
it's more animal than man.
by far in it's own league beyond any other melvins album.

I was like PHHPPHPHP....and my computer was dripping in coffee! :shock:
It's Theresa!
That's FRIGGIN AWESOME!
for reals?
howd you know?
I just know that I got the CD honky and it was different at the time than the CDs for sale usually had the square corner transparent jewel cases this one was a black cardboard flap-front that I later ripped off and decorated something with a bong maybe I forget, anyway I listened to this over and over with a couple of friends who had no choice when they were in my car to hear this album over and over ha ha ha. got these dudes into the melvins too. he liked the one that sounds like the runaway train best. I liked every single second of this album and the way it is sequenced, even. You know, it was so long ago, or it just seems that way, but I kinda have forgotten how good the songs on this album are and I personally think it makes it even better, like that, in order, starting at track 1, 'how it used to be in the old days' haha
all of them they must be slaughtered > it was 20 yrs ago today (sike nah just kidding sorry paul)
so Why do I love the production of this album so much.
Quote from: Dumpster D on August 24, 2012, 09:02:41 AM
so Why do I love the production of this album so much.
because you have good tastes?
should we start talking about production of recent melvins albums compared to their old stuff? :later:
For a while I've sort of indirectly avoided this album. It was easy as the vinyl is not that common, I think the vinyl was only made in Germany? Anyhow, this album kicks ass. It is totally weird, and the only vocals that even sound like Buzz remotely are the ones on Mombius Hibachi...which is a killer song! I especially love the riff in the intro (aka the heavy as fuck part) and also the vocals at the end of Grin. "In the Freaktose The Bugs Are Dying" is heavy as hell and a cool way to end the album. It almost seems like a foreshadowing of The Maggot which was a few years away at that point. I really like this album a whole lot even though it is far from anything you would normally even halfway expect from them. If I had to describe this album with one statement it would be this:
Honky= Ambient soundscapes of gooey Melvins goodness!!!
Was the Honky LP ever released with a gatefold sleeve?
Quote from: jules on February 08, 2015, 07:20:02 AM
Was the Honky LP ever released with a gatefold sleeve?
nope
i honestly thought these guys had broken up after Stag. there was just general lack of information and the internet was slim back then. it wasn't until 98 that i read in some Metal mag from one of my friends that they were doing Ozzfest. so i jumped on his computer and found out about Honky and checked out the samples from CDNOW, ran out and got the album the next day.
i tortured my black metal loving friend for as i could with it. he liked it but i think his mind was blown more or less and that kinda bothered him.
i loved it then and i do now. i mean Stag was wild but this is further down the rabbit hole. which was kinda disconcerting at the time....wondering if they'll come back.
they did and i did too. and here i am.

twice.
I was feeling nostalgic.
Something that always struck me as a bizarre coincidence was that
this album came out the same summer as the first Austin Powers film,
which brought the song "What The World Needs Now" out of mothballs.
I was working in a butcher shop at the time, where we listened to the
oldies station all day long. I never heard that song, until the film came out
and about a month later, King Buzzo is singing that line, with a different ending:
What The World Needs Now, is wings and the know-how.
Freaky! :shock: Meanwhile, the song entered heavy rotation hell on the oldies station.
Also, we went to a prime rib restaurant in Vegas that summer,
and as we were waddling back to our hotel room, we were repeating the line:
I got a belly full of prime, crawling through my intest-ine!
That never got old. :lol:
You know, it may be correlated to the fact that I've been smoking a fair amount of weed for the first time in years, but I've been remembering that this album is truly tits. They All Must Be Slaughtered is ambient bliss... Also... Air breather? Holy fuckin' fuck.

Totally! It's like a night and day album. Mombius hibachi is the yin to Harry Lauder's Walking Stick Tree's yang. Speaking of Harry Lauder's Walking Stick Tree, it's a real variety of tree which is totally mangled and bad ass.

I couldn't agree more.
Also turns 20 this year!!
Time to play it live in its entirety.
One of my favourite "low key" Melvins songs, or you could say under-rated ones is 'Grin'. I'd love to see the band add this to a live show. Especially with Melvins Lite. I think that would turn out great with the double bass.
Honky is terrific. Timeless album.
I'm surprised to see more people aren't talking about "Lovely Butterfly". I absolutely love that track. Dale played the opening drum part at the show I saw in Fresno right before AMAZON I think. I can't really remember.

Alright, Haze, you've shown that you're capable of putting albums out digitally. Let's start the back catalog rolling with this here essential gem.
Do we need to start a petition to put Honky on streaming services?

The insight into "Mouth Breather" was awesome. Also now there's a ton of stuff I need to listen for in "Freaktose"
definitely in my top 3
What a great video! Thanks Mark D
