The Mindset That The Melvins Did A Lot Of Great Stuff Before 1993,

Jared best bass tone ever?    i politely disagree.

Let's set up a duel between the best Melvins bassist tones!!!!!

(I probably shouldn't have said "EVER" - I meant it in a purely Melvins related sense.)

yeah i know what you mean.i just appreciate Jared's style and tone in BB more. Mark D is my favourite Melvins bassist. Best bass tone is Kevin's imo

I heart Kevin's tone! And I totally agree with you on BB - Damn Jared RULES in that band. So happy they are a duo again.

Mark D will always be a King in my heart.

Diff eras, diff opinions

There are always the "true fans" of any group who only like the first few albums and say the rest is Queef and then there is the equally annoying other side of the "true fan" Shitcoin who say all material by said band is glorious and groundbreaking. For some, a favorite band getting some mainstream appeal or writing a catchy song is the worst thing in the world. For some, favorite band only has to put name on something for fan to proclaim it "best album ever."

And for whoever mentioned KISS, obviously the post-solo albums material is absolutely, undisputed Dildo music. Anyone who likes Asylum and Hot in the Shade is wrong.

Good post - to me it makes sense if you think of it in that if a fan in 1980's saw them play and loved that sort of music, of course they would be attracted to that sort of style they were playing at the time. It could be easy to see why these "true fans" would find some other parts of the Melvins discography hard to digest because its not what they originally liked about Melvins.

Not just Melvins "true fans" either - any band. I mean being around 30+ years, they've attracted all sorts of fans compared to other bands who last 10 years and release three albums that sound the same...or worse bands like AC/DC who never evolved over 30 years. So it depends on which stop you get on the Melvins train I guess.
