Question:
Now there's a pencil scratcher.
Option 1: Night Goat
votes: 36
Option 2: History of Bad Men
votes: 20
I'm saying night goat but not by much.
come on, its NIGHT GOAT! you can't put a johnny-come-lately in front of a tried and true CLASSIC.
thats like saying (A)SA or Lysol. (A)SA is a great album, but what true melvins junky is going to put it ahead of a landmark album?
I agree with Glen. :D
Night Goat, after 0,1 seconds of thinking.
Damn, how could it take you THAT long?

Oh, I didn't know you're such a slow reader.

NIGHT GOAT BY A LANDSLIDE
out with the old, in with the new . . .
egg zactly! the Jared era is upon us. Best aquisition that Dale and Buzz ever made!!!!
They got to invest in a true gem. On the Tight Bros stuff he is only a vocalist but man
he owns that band, put a bass in his hands and 8 years of KARP later he's both
bassist and vocalist, add him to the Melvins mix with King Coady and boys, the rest is history

i didnt know he could read at all. :shock:
Even seeing Night Goat live I honestly prefer A History of Bad Men so I readily admit to being in the minority of this board.
i guess i am vote #3 for History of Bad Men
i like the vocals and the bass a little better
and i have only heard it 400 times vs. the thousands of times i have heard Night Goat
that is my absurd reasoning
its like choosing purple cush over the green crystally sticky icky
hard to choose , but I will take what i have ingested less of I guess
if i had to pick one to play at my funeral I go with Bad Men

HOBM gave me chills first few times I heard it. I guess the sentimental value is what did it for me. I got into the Melvins around Bullhead, but Houdini really changed my perspective on music.
in that purple vs crystally poll i'm always down with the dusty weed :P

The era that someone first dug into the Melvins is probably why so many people went Night Goat and it makes sense. I just recently got into the Melvins and while Houdini was one of the first albums I bought I think since my first live experiences were with the ASA catalogue that explains why I went HOBM.
Either way, hooky & heavy bass-centric songs have a special place in my book which also explains why Karp & Big Business are on regular rotation in my cd players.
Very hard choice but i went with Bad Men.
Um, i'm trying to come up with a reason and i can't.
It's like comparing 'The Bloated Pope' and 'Blood Witch'. There is no right choice. Just similarities and preferences.
same exact experience for me idle, after oi heard houdini i didn't ;look at music the same. it was pretty much just nirvana and the melvins for me. and no talent.. that was all that was playin in my cassette deck in my car lol

Yea, No Talent always has been one of my favorite bands, and not just because I knew them. Brian did some wonderful production for them and the cd's sounded fan-fucking-tastic. Didn't hurt that Benn wrote some great songs.....
for sure, they had a good thing goin... i ran into sweeny hte other night at a show up here of a band called kill orchestra i think from seattle. way cool band. bass, drums, and sax and the bass player could hang with geddy or les, the guy was amazing. but he was al wasted and said, "i'm wanna play some music again, i'm gonna make some calls and start up the band again." i don;t know if it was drunk talk but that would be pretty sweet.
my copy of that disc is hammered you know were i could pick up another one by chance? DOE RAY is a bad ass song

I haven't seen Sweeney in ages.....Anyway......You would have to get a burned copy. I don't know how many they ran off of either cd, but I know they are both 'sold out', as it were.
yeah hes married with kids now seemed pretty happy
the bloated pope . . .
easy . . .
What child would you kill if you had to pick?
I would kill the youngest.
Quote from: jimbobber on January 31, 2007, 10:28:51 PM
if i had to pick one to play at my funeral I go with Bad Men
you know, aside from being a casual meeting place to yuk it up with melvins fans, this board ALSO functions as a legally binding document.
are you sure you want to make this request?
when i first saw this thread i thought it was going to be an MP3 quiz and i thought, oh this should be easy...

eeeerrrrr!!!! come on now, the bloated pope is so much darker and nastier! yes, they're similar. but the bloated pope is the evil twin.
get richie quick, I sense another vote.
nightgoat.
I couldn't decide so I listened to history of bad men and then the houdini version of nightgoat. I felt like an idiot for not being able to decide. nightgoat nightgoat nightgoat nightgoat nightgoat

I agree. I was a little hammered last night, but I think I was thinking only about how both songs have a riff that kind of start-stop-start-stop. Fuck, who knows what I was thinking, I had too much whiskey.

"boris" or "hooch"? . . .
I think it's unfair posing Boris and Hooch together, they aren't similar like Nightgoat & HOBM or Bloated Pope & The Blood Witch.

Your right, but I said boris anyway :D
yeah, id still go with "boris" . . .
i was comparing them because theyre two similar, sludge-as-fuck kind of songs . . .
History of Bad Men. Especially live. I saw a bunch of shows on the last tour and every show when that song started the whole club just started rolling. Everyone. Unstoppable head rocking. Total groove.
My dad came to the Philly show, had never heard the Melvins before, just happened to be in town the same time I was, and even he couldn't help but rock out to that song. My dad does not rock out.
Night Goat is a great song, but doesn't affect an audience in the same way.
Nothing will change the fact that songs like AHOBM is the reason why I listen to the Melvins.
Night Goat, At A Crawl, Hog Leg, Skeeter, the list goes on!
I have to go with History Of Bad Men. The song is so much more dynamic and powerful. Give it a another year or so and it will be just as popular and dare I say even more popular a live request hollered out randomly by Melvins fans. The lyrics are infectious and the music is as well. What a feat they accomplished!
I wish the Melvins would go back to singing the original lyrics to Night Goat. The alternate lyrics don't do it for me.
Ya! I noticed that as well. Why'd they change them?

I think the "new" lyrics are loosely based on Kurt Cobain now, but don't quote me on that.

oops! you got quoted!
what new lyrics?? i gotta pay attention.
are they on houdini live?
Yeah, and on pretty much every live show whenever it is played.

Possible references are boring!
I went with Nightgoat just 'cause I've been into it for so long.
For the record: after the first few seconds, those two songs aren't really all that much alike. I'm gettin' kinda of sick of people actin' like AHOBM is just a rewrite.

really...it's note for note

What about "You got high just like you do"
Or "At the hotel, like a fix yeah!"
These are obviously different words than what was originally sung on Houdini studio album. The lyrics changed after Kurt committed suicide.
no way.
"like a hotel, like a fix yell"
and "you got high just like you do" and sometimes "you got low just like you do"
were in the original.
unless....maybe it's been so long since i heard the original?? naw. shucks i don't know what the F i'm sayyinn
All I can say is compare. You know I could be wrong about alternate Night Goat lyrics. But I really think they changed around a few of the lines. But anyway...back on topic. I still would pick HOBM.
i would pic hod(history of drunks) as kip would say.................
"thats what i'm talking about"
The harmonies folks. That's wassup.
For the record, Night Goat gets people rocking live, but I just dig HIistory of Bad men. The harmony plus that guitar lick. Mmm.
Long time no see Turnacus!
I'm going by Sergeant D as of right now. I used to go by Joe Deutrom or Lorax Bricklebrit in case you were wondering.

wasn't there a mad arab in there somewhere as well?
Yeah, but I don't think Turnacus would know about that. He doesn't post here often anymore.
Ill read, but i usually dont say much.
But yeah, I guess, im back, or something.

good work there, thought police.
The Fool, The Meddling Idiot > Night Goat and History of Bad Men.
Night Goat without a doubt
Night Goat is probably my favorite Melvins song so this wasn't a difficult choice.
Night Goat of course.
