Melvins 2017?

[BERZERKER]

It's being said that the new collab will be 'shocking' and something nobody, not even hardcore fans would have seen coming, right?

[POOP GRENADE]

Given the closeness with Tool/Adam Jones, it's not too far fetched to think of a joint release or collaboration.  Tool recently prevailed in a lawsuit with their old record company, and there have been rumblings of a new record/tour in the last 6-months...

I know there are a number of Tool-haters on this board, but even those people have to admit the two bands highly influence one another.  The sounds on Melvins tracks "Divorced" and others featuring Jones (Pigs of the Roman Empire, the Biafra project, Colossus of Destiny) would be cool to explore over a full length and with dualing bass and drum kits..goddam.

Waiting for the Void Manes collab, defo want to see Buzz use that huge modular synth he's been given.

Well, the Throbbing Gristle single has a longer tracklist than the actual songs featured on that release: four extra titles featuring Void Manes and Buzz... supposedly they were going to be released someday.

See the Facebook post from September 9th....I would say it's this.

Its funny back when the Chicken Switch remix came out pretty much everyone 'round here ('cept a select few) bitched and shit on it ...  even the Void Manes remix ... "its just noise" blah blah crap ... now a few years later everyone is all hyped on this endeavor ... hahaha ... go listen to some Macronympha and call me in the morning ... Stella!!

Really? Because I still don't care about that album.

Yeah, not sure I follow that logic. Id wager it would be more like the Lustmord collaboration rather than the Chicken Switch which was pretty difficult.

Love POTRE but I hope this is way more "difficult". Be cool if no guitar or bass (maybe some drums ... lots of cymbals!) just everyone tweaking on effects

[Bengerman]

Im going to venture to say it's gonna be an album of nothing but synthesizers. No bass or guitars. I would hope there are still drums though. They just finished the kunka album which was mostly bass.
I do hope they get down to an album proper though. The last 4 or 5 have been "distracted." I do think an album with Stevie Mac would be quite good. Seeing him on the last tour I realized how good of a bassist he is. I didn't like how he did the stops at the beginning of eye flys but I liked how he changed up euthanasia. And he handled halo of flies as if he were Dennis Dunnaway himself.

Collab with helms alee.

[DToxico]

Not shocking enough

Or maybe the shocking part is that this time it's someone who the fans would have dismissed for being too obvious a choice?

i dont want shocking, i want good.

[DToxico]

So do I, I'd love a collab with Helms Alee, just saying that doesn't quite seem to follow the way it's being hyped/referred to.

[Chief Ten Beers]

Something with Robert Fripp would rule all, and I would never rule it out since Adam Jones is the mutual connection.

Claypool/Primus. They've crossed paths lately on the road. Les seems always up for a collab with new/different people. I wouldn't bet any money on this though.

Would have been sweet if they would have had a split with HA going into the tour, like the last Le Butcherettes tour. A $5 CD, two songs each. Lino carve cover by Haze. Sell the vinyl later, t-shirts, the whole deal.
