BHM and Ozma's post in the DCH thread got me thinking about what the Melvins might cover next. They seem to cover about one great song a tour. What's next? Personally I'd love to hear a Melvins version of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" or Alice Coopers "Changing Arranging" done up like it would sound like it belonged on Bootlicker.
I'd love to see them do a Who cover like boris the spider or tattoo or heaven and hell.
i know they are big devo fans. they should cover love without anger.
On The Road Again, by Willie Nelson
I'm serious! (not)
If they're going to cover DEVO I stand by my idea years ago of "Penetration in the Centerfold". Damn, with two drummers now?!? What could top that?
I remember years ago they had something like this on the Melvins-l listserv or whatever it's called and I recommended they do some old Butthole Surfers song. Then on the 2x4 tour they played Cherub. It was like they were reading my thoughts!

That would be in the same category as 'Tequila'.. bleh!
wow..a slew of great suggestions here..."Changing Arranging"? Wow! Love it! Iggy, The 'oo & Devo?..all great ideas.. I always thought "King Kong" by The Kinks would suit the Melvins just fine...or "Still No Air" from Alice Cooper's "Easy Action"...
I suggested Godzilla in a thread similar to this some time ago. But I can think of all kinds of others.
I bet they could do a killer version of "I Want You, She's So Heavy" by the Beatles.
all great ideas, i'll take them into consideration.

residents? some specific songs would work out- things that are mostly spoken word would have to be either even more creepy or done really straight and boring. to take on a residents opus would be a lot.
This is a good topic because---- who doesn't like to see the freakshow? Who doesn't like being hassled by Jews for Jesus?
Essentially the houdini live: large and in charge edition was a cover of regs. houdini. [U-h- in my opinion]. You pick up something so old and rework it- its like one of those eighty year old guys on Conan that was in shape, out of shape, and has finally achieved pulling a truck with their dentures.
Still Cool, still awesome, I'd want to see it.
So basically I want to see them cover Billy Joel's Captain Jack or Elton John's Tiny Dancer. These are two artists I wouldn't pay to see, but given Melvins intervention, would be quite pleased to hear in a different way.
tada!
Tiny Dancer NOOOOOOOOO! It's gotta be 'bennie and the jets'

"You've Got Another Thing Comin'" by Judas Priest
somethin' off Double Nickles on the Dime. There are about 16 or 17 different tracks that I think would work really well for them
A Latin Playboys or Los Lobos song
"Tupelo" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
a Budgie song
"cross-eyed mary" via jethro tull ! heard it on the car radio the other day and thought..hmmm..Melvins would kick some major buttocks covering this one...replace the flute with a trombone, ala "Bar X"....
I would like them to play fast punk rock version of Rock Around the Clock. It would be cool and unexpected.

Ha, that's funny. I was thinking to myself, they should cover something from Jethro Tull, a while ago. The reason to that is, my father listens to them like all the time since I can remember. I hate that stupid flute sounds every time they come up on home or car stereo. I know, that I'm preoccupied with this and maybe at one point in their career they put out something mildly interesting, but I just can't stand it. So I thought, that would be a real challenge for the Melvins: take one of those crap tunes and make something decent out of it. Don't know if it's possible, but they should give it a try. If they can't do it, nobody can.

The song "Apostrophe" by Frank Zappa. It could be one of those killer "early in the set" covers. Jared's bass tone would be perfect for it, and Dale/Coady could trade fills on the outro drum solo. Jack Bruce's tone on that track is similar to Jared's anyway.

That is one damn good collection of early stuff. For anyone who wants to check out Pere Ubu, it's full of some of their best songs and it's cheap to buy.
Best band from Cleveland ever, one of the top 3 shows I saw this year. I've got that and Modern Dance, and the recent ones - St. Arkansas + Why I Hate Women which are great. Just picked up the official live '76 boot "The Shape Of Things" too which is a great show but very lo-fi.
I don't know about their '80s/'90s stuff. What I've heard sounds too "pop" to me. I've got to get New Picnic Time, and Dub Housing next.
Rocket From The Tombs also rules.
I've just thought of a great cover for the Melvins to do: Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation.
Seriously, listen to the drums on that track.
Today when XTC's "Travels in Nihilon" came up in shuffle, it occurred to me that Dale (+Coady) could work out some massive drumming for this already repetitive and hypnotic song. Add some pumping bass from Jared and inventive guitar play from Buzz and...
well that definitely would lead somewhere.
Goddarn you're right!
XTC Travels in Nihilon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fve2fqtiF18#)
- Any Plasmatics song
- Zappa "Pinky" :lol:
- "Darth Vaders Theme"
Those 3 would make a nice 10''
Deep Purple's Highway Star. Buzz and Jared sharing vox.

Groundhogs - Split Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3pLU2kkwnc#ws)
a randy holden cover would be -- to speak with wesley willis -- awsum.

(slowed to about 17 minutes of course)
or Gun
or Get On The Snake
or Power Trip
or Beyond the Wheel
similarly slowed
they wouldn't go there though
more Priest covers would be cool. we all love Judy.

mmmmabye "negative creep".
Buzz will never cover any song in the grunge or sludge metal genres, because he is contrary like that. He did a few in the old days and the ironic Nirvana cover, but he's never going to again. Never.

I can see that.
I was just imagining Jared singing the "I love it, I need it" part of Highway Star, and it seemed like a do-able cover. Along with the great opening and solo's and everything else. And whatnot. And on and on.
I am in a 80s mood, so I would like to hear them do Elton John's "Hold me closer tiny dancer.." ever since I saw them cover the Star Spangled Banner, I realize they can do anthing, anything,,,alfunso

Fuck, they should just cover the whole Fair Warning album. The four part harmonies would rule, and I'd love to see Buzz do EVH's parts his own way.
that would be killer! Unchained is one of VH's best songs ever.
I'd like to see the Melvins cover the Write Bros. Pen commercial. That song fucking rocked. If you don't remember it, a 70's thing, here it goes:
Write on Write Brothers, write on, with a Paper Mate Wright Brothers pen!
Loved that tune.

Awesome vid, but I don't think that's Lukin. Buzz/Dale look the same as on the "Salad" DVD circa '91, so I'm guessing it's Tom Flynn (of Boner Records)
Chief is right.
another giveaway that its flynn is the rickenbacker bass off to the side.
