Does he use a pick or does he pluck the strings? ( i never saw the melvins live)

any slap bass?

he fucking abuses it!!! he uses his fingers mostly, sometimes a pick
and different slides, tons of distortion and lots of pedal effects, lots of
open strings ringing and feeding back beneath too, etc..

and he always seems to be doing a st. vitus dance.

i always see him use a pic. i love his bass that he had custom made. i dont know what st. vitus is, but i know what you mean by the rocking motion he does when he plays, i play the bass and i cant seem to do it without losing my balance

Kevin really is the strangest man, isn't he? He looks quite odd in the flesh but is polite and shy, and then his bass humping and pick slamming shouldn't work but they do...a man of mystery indeed.

i really love when Kevin drags the nose of his bass around the floor, hunches over and sort of limps around behind it.  he looks really demented.  i also like when he gives me the evil eye and then blows a kiss. he makes some weird faces up there..to the audience and to the other melvs.  i love him just as much as buzz and dale.

Has anyone seen him in the Cows? I never got the chance to see them live.
Hail, not fail.
PS:  fuck him.

nope.  i live in ohio, and i'm not sure if the cows ever played there, but if they did, it wouldn't have known about it since i haven't really heard of the cows until after they broke up.

from cleveland, ohio.  my friend was supposed to go the past 2 times they played here, but he forgot to request off work, so he had to work both times and i had no way of getting to the shows.
