Any Sludge Left?

[Reverend Ebeneezer]

No, I mean 'patronising' as in 'condescendingly sarcastic', rather than being a 'patron' of someone's music....

But I'm glad we understand one another.

i wasn't being sarcastic at all.  i basically mean everything i said - in a straightforward way.  I had no idea what jello was gonna turn out to be like, and he turned out fine.  i have new found respect for the man.  Without jello - they wouldn't have been there (NEumos Dec 30-31, '04) at all.

and it Doesn't matter at all if he's Gay.  Not to me.  maybe that part of my post rubbed you wrong?  just a lame attempt at humor, sorry everybody.

[Reverend Ebeneezer]

I'm sorry, but are we communicating in a common tounge here? I made reference to your Slipknot comment, hence I quoted said comment and made my point about sarcasm regarding that. I couldn't give two figs about Jello's sexuality even if he was into beastiality and made no comment of any nature regarding such an issue. I thought you were suggesting that the people who thought the Melvins had lost their edge would find solace in the music of Slipknot or Ms. Spears.

Frankly, I wish I hadn't bothered. If I were feeling cruel I'd make some comment regarding ether huffing, but since it's Friday and I'm not feeling as grumpy as usual, I won't...

the end of sludge?  come on they're the fucking melvins.  the day buzz stops playing loud ass heavy guitar is the day he stops breathing.

or has a massive stroke.

same for dale, but even after his heart ceases to beat, strangely his hands and feet will still tap out odd time signatures.

what about The Fool, The Meddling Idiot

[popeye]

howzabout the "Anti-Vermin Seed"?  that starts off mired in sludge doesn't it? I'll have to go check - my memory is failing - way too much weed...,

[Pringles]

C'mon, Never breath what you cant see is a great album and jello is good. Too bad for you if you dont enjoy it.

I 've been thinking myself the same lately. I mean, HAT just doesn't annoy people the way Lysol does. To my dismay, I've found that many of my retarded friends who despised the Melvins (much to my delight) in high school, during the Lysol/Houdini etc... days have now found it in their dark souls to enjoy the Melvins. This is sad, as i could've sworn it says somewhere in the bible you're not allowed to like the Melvins if you also like Weezer. I blame myself, spending all these many years now insisting that the Melvins are the greatest band ever, and being so utterly cool personally that people have been forced to agree. But I digress....

I actually don't have much complaint about the Melvins recent gifts to us (I choose not to include Never Breathe... among them) POTRE is lacking, true, but HAT is fucking great. I would give my spleen and 3 fingers off my writing hand just to witness Hung Bunny or Charmicarmicat live though. I've had enough of The Bloated Pope... I'd prefer to hear the Bloat. Maybe if we try bribing them ??

I don't see why not. I mean, I have Earth and Madonna on the same playlist...

[thegrumpylil'hermit]

i don't know?  i been thinking - is there any sludge left in the melvins/  or is that over?  

i dont know....does a re-released remastered sludge album from the bands heyday with some rough demos of alternate takes thrown in count??  Whatever, its been 20 years and they're still breathing, thats all that matters, and they do what they want....lets not stop the Melvins from reminding us of this everytime they're out of material and start to suck, right??
