Melvins Discussion / Re: Melvins on Hydra Head? (A) Senile Vinyl

« on: August 12, 2008, 05:16:21 PM »

I'm down with the vinyl and the comic book. Belt buckles are for little kids, and/or people who like who like to keep their pants from falling down . I haven't worn pants since I was 10.

Fixed that for you.

Except it's usually the hipster douchebags wearing shirts short and tight enough to show off their massive belt buckles.

I wear belts, but there's no point in attaching a giant buckle to it unless I'm going to wear shirts 2 sizes too small and tuck them into the front of my pants, which would just make me look stupid.

Any idea what the vinyl will be limited to?   I doubt I'll have the money to purchase this on release, but I want it so fucking bad

I find it funny when I hear about Dale getting pissed and trying to take motherfuckers out.  I heard the show they did in Oklahoma here in 06 he ended up leveling some drunk dude and dragging him outside.  He seems like a really calm and collected dude compared to Buzzo, but it seems like he has a lower tolerance to bullshit and is a lot quicker to slap some lips shut if he feels it's necessary.

Dale is my kinda guy.

None, unless somebody is willing to scoop me up and bring me around to Dallas the day of the show.

If buzzo was a teacher at school what subject do you think he would teach?

History.

History is written by the winner of the war.

King Buzzo would teach Truth.

Knowing what I do of Buzz, I have a feeling we wouldn't get along very well personally, just because our attitudes are too similar yet our views differ so greatly.

I'm happy enough listening to his music.

You can barely make out Buzz or Dale's signatures.  Buzz looks like he made a hump then a cursive z and Dale looks like he dozed off while trying to draw a pair of breasts.

Coady and Jared's very clearly say their names, though.

Cover up a letter and this is quite possibly illegal.

(A)SA just because of Civilized Worm.

Billy Fish and Suicide in Progress are worthy competitors, but don't feel anywhere near as epic.

Those three songs, to me, are my favorite recent type of Melvins song.  Not that heavy, epic riffs, epic drumming, epic vocals.  Pure rock and roll, and some of the catchiest and groovin' riffs Buzzo has ever written.

I like the fact that Josh has been offered sick amounts of money to reunite & tour and he won't give in.

Even if Josh and John agreed to it, there's no way they'd get Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveri on the bill.  Even if they went for Scott Reeder instead of Oliveri, it's just not Kyuss without Bjork.  He was (in my opinion) the force behind their best songs, and things definitely went downhill when he left.

I like Slo Burn WAY better than Kyuss, even if they only released one album at a very horrible quality, the songs are so much more powerful and catchy, and Garcia's vocals are better.

This has nothing to do with Nude With Boots, though, so I'll shut up.

(NWB is great, go buy it)

If MP3s are encoded with the right codec, and at the right bitrate, the sound difference between CD and MP3 is negligible.  The high-frequency cutoff is a side effect of poor digital mastering, though that's arguable.  Most CDs nowadays are digitally mastered louder than they used to be, and there is a smaller difference between loud and quiet, and frequencies above a certain point are cut off.

The CD will sound exactly the same as the leaked rip, unless it was an unmastered or pre-master or something.  The conversion to MP3 won't cause a big enough difference to be noticed, unless the person who did the rip is inexperienced.  I ripped all of my Melvins CDs to my harddrive, and they sound the exact same when played through the same sound system, using the same computer software.

I learned to play Billy Fish and it's probably my favorite song to play, ever.  The riffage to the part where Jared takes lead vocals is so simple, but so fucking rocking.  The feeling it gives me in my spine is comparable to injecting kilo loads of opiates into my eyeball.

Melvins Discussion / Re: WTF? NYC Melvins tickets are more expensive than anywhere else

« on: June 22, 2008, 03:41:26 AM »

It's easy to say that he's whining, but you have to realize it's a possibility the Melvins aren't seeing any extra cash from this.  If they're able to charge $15 other places, why would they intentionally raise the praise to $25 for one city?  If it was the Melvins trying to make more money, the tickets would be $25 everywhere.

It seems to me like the venue or ticket broker setting a higher price to make more money that the Melvins will probably never see.

That said, I'd happily pay $25 if the Melvins came to my state.  Hell, I'd probably slip a few $50s into Buzz's hair and fellate Dale behind the dual-drum kit if it came to that.

The best Fuckemos song is "Frank's Bicycle."

it's about Frank Kozik's bicycle

Either that or "Do You Wanna Dance."

What about 'I Can't Smell Guiseppe' or maybe 'Sex Body' ?

I have the first listed as I Can't Spell Joseppi and don't have the second.

I'm sure they're both great songs though.  Can't get enough Fuckemos.

The best Fuckemos song is "Frank's Bicycle."  The lyrics lament the incident where the narrator stole a man named Frank's bicycle from outside of a gay club, and sold it for drugs.

Either that or "Do You Wanna Dance."

On topic, I'm convinced the Melvins will never come back to Oklahoma again, unless they experience some surge of popularity, but then I'd be bummed for wanting to see them in a small club with a small crowd.
