Thank you Melvins

Christ on parade was awesome!

Heck yeah!

The first time I heard the Melvins was on the Tales from the Crypt Demon Night soundtrack '95ish.  Instant Larry = Instant likey.  SO THANKS MELVINS.  Thanks for coming to small town Bellingham too, considering it's barely more than an hour away from Seattle.

A coworker brought that cassette into work, back in the day.
I remember that track was a different version than the one on Prick, right?

yep, it's mixed louder and it's roughly 30-45 secs. longer (Also, it's also not the same song!)

I suppose that's available on vinyl, so I can help pitch in on Mr Pooperpants' retirement fund?

I listened first in Jr. High because of Kurt talking them up. Didn't delve deep just a track on a compilation album but I was not an immediate fan. Soon after, the Revolve music video was in high rotation on Local Public Access Television in Dayton Ohio. i liked the song and the video but didn't delve deeper yet. Not until Ipecac Records started and I saw Fantomas on their first tour and was blown away buy the whole band. I bought the crybaby and liked it but as an album it was all over the place and I didn't buy the rest of the trilogy. It was the Jello and Melvins second album that really impressed me, how tight they were as a band. After that full blown obsession kicked in.

The first time I heard them I didnt even realize it, until years later. It was sweet willy rollbar on the tony hawk skateboarding game, always like the song but didnt realize it was melvins until I fully discovered them after tryimg to find new music and ending up looking them up as I had read their name on the nirvana wikipedia page a lot. I first heard hooch and was taken aback by the drums and lyrics, despite not fully getting the music I still liked it enough so I was compelled to go back again and again to listen to the few songs I discovered because it sounded so different than anything I'd ever heard. The song that really sold me was creepy smell off Ozma, buzzs guitar tone is so amazing on that one and the drums are perfectly and intracately coordinatedand syncs with the guitar so well. Then I saw a video of hooch live and coady was blocking my view of dale so I was like who the hellIis that, he's actually damn good! I looked that up then discovered how they melded with big business and were still making music when I thought melvins were retired or something. I was so happy they were still relevant I was so naive lol

When did all that take place, b-in the-b? The merge with Big Biz was in '06, btw.

my memory is a bit fuzzy but I heard them through tony hawks game maybe around 01-04.. in those years for sure. Many years later probably in 07' or 06',I looked up their music online hearing about them through the influene section on nirvanas wikipedia(I know lol) but I really liked hooch and a couple other songs (queen, snake appeal, matt alec, etc), then dowloaded some albums on my ipod. Thats when I came across creepy smell and many others and got completely hooked. After more research online of their live videos I found the live video of hooch with coady blocking dale thus me doing more research as to who coady was then I found out about a senile animal then their merge with big business and was thrilled to know melvins were still alive and kicking more so than most bands, regardless of age. It was cool I finally found a band that kicked ass, had some history yet was still relevant. There was just something special about hearing a senile animal knowing it had came out so recently and it was better than so much other music coming out at the time, it made me feel like part of something special if thats not corny lol! So I unknowingly heard them at the turn of the century and fully discovered them around 06', 07'

  cool.
