[bUTTHOLEmAN]

Covers they played were my generation and star spangled banner. Random !!!

Well that didn't take long, but someone else would have said something anyway.  Yes, it be true.  They're covering the Who's "My Generation".

Holy crap!   Just beware:  Hillary Duff sang this song on stage, and changed the lyrics to "hope I don't die before I get old"..so as not to scare her audience..the melvins might do the same.

Oh no!

My Generation?!

I was expecting something a little more obscure.  I'm happy either way, but with all the secrecy I'm a little let down.

Don't be sad!  I'm hoping to get weak in the knees when he starts stuttering..and says he hopes he dies before he's old.  It does seem to be an obvious Who choice, though.

Could it beat Harvey Milk doing "were not gonna take it"?

[I am the Sun]

did they do it like this live?

Two Things

first thing:  suppose I better go ahead and back track on that Civilized Worm trashing since its obviously rattled some cages.    jebus, the sons-a-bitches are coming after me in my email over that one  .    I DO NOT hate Civilized Worm, I am just slightly burned out on it. like I told some fine friends via email who suggested I get my head examined for that post, that song was the flagship of ASA.  I saw MELVINS 4 times in 2 years. they played that song every single time.   call me a stingy selfish bastard but I was hoping for a little variety in the setlists.   not that I'm questioning buzz's setlist choice, I see his logic.  I just like to wish for the completely unrealistic.  like for example yank Civilized Worm and replace it with Hag Me.   

second thing: if it makes any questioners of that cover choice feel any better the way I undersand it is they've tweeked the original version into something a little more bluesy.
hey... I never thought I Wanna Hold Your Hand was a bad-ass jam until I heard MELVINS get ahold of it.

Ever heard the Moving Sidewalks version? I'm sure you did, right? That one's miles better than The Beatles version.

Exactly.  Does anyone really believe they would do a cover song like that straight?  This isn't Pearl Jam we're talking about for christ's sake.  It's always a very good idea to trust the Melvins.
And in general, not necessarily a good idea to assume that Buzzo would sing lead on this song either...

somehow I just knew J-rad would handle vox on that one.

upon further revelations....   curveball alert!!

[Greasy Statement]

as an aside, melt banana also did a wicked version of "my generation" on their '02 tour....
