Title: the melvins called one of the ugliest bands in rock
Post by: 4egedr on December 06, 2005, 11:02:10 PM
hi, i've casually read this board for years, but i think this is my first post.

this was on the comedy radio show, "The Best Show On WFMU with Tom Scharpling" (which just ended an hour ago).  i happen to listen to this show every week.  tonight, tom took calls to help him make up a list of the ugliest bands in rock history.  to my surprise, he wound up including the melvins alongside some seriously ugly bands.

i edited the tiny bits about the melvins into a little mp3 for you here:

there's a good half hour of music before he even starts talking....  maybe it starts 45 minutes into it?  roughly...

Are you talkin about my or Pungents avatar? The metalfingered, calculatorwatch-wearing monster in my avatar has a set of hair blessed from the gods. See how tight it fits the skull, and how brutal it tries to surround the neck, almost conflicting with the beard. You wouldn`t want to meet "me" in a back-alley saturday night....

I guess Lunica and Klump know what I talk about when i mention Ole Ivars. For americans and other happy unknowing, I
can explain: In Norway, and Sweden, we have an ugly music-form called danceband-music. The deal is that you put som ugly motherfuckers, dressed in the same ugly suits, and let them play the easiest music ever imaginable. The guitarist uses 3 riffs tops, and the other are pumping away on their instruments. The typical fan is 50+, with reatarded music-taste and practically no fun except these frigging dance-shows that loots our cities. In the states you have trailer-park, in Norway we have something similar, with one major difference: The people that owns a caravanspot only lives there in the holidays. Standard for these babies is that the couples are wearing matching UGLY traingsuits, and that the ONLY music they allow on their speakers is the gruesome danceband-music. Check out my candidate for the ugliest band in rock: (PS! You should see the partners of these creatures, 20 year younger, and far better looking than their "better" half. Not to say that they can rock your world though.)

Seriously: What`s ugly or not is subjective. People who brand other people as ugly has a huge problem. Insecure,
undeveloped conform sheep with nothing to offer society. This "the ugliest band in rock"-thing is somewhat different.
Neither Ole Ivars, Turboneger, Uriah Heep, Beach Boys or Dee Snyder are ugly, but everyone understand what the intention is. They are "ugly" not ugly, if you know what I mean. Schnabel prefers much rather the lads from Ole Ivars than plastic-faces from Hollywood, to put it that way. And just to come out as a real softy: It`s the inside that counts! :lol:

You big softy!! :wink:

But i have to agree with you.

And anyway, atleast the Melvins aren't one of those bands that are more focused on image than the music itself. But i really wouldn't refer to them as ugly.

Anyway, i've forgotten what my point was. :(
