Melvins Go All Dub Reggae On Our Ass!!!

[Ministry Fiend]

I think a dub album would be pretty kick ass actually, but they'd have to pick the right producer. Dub isn't so far off from ambient music, and they did an album with Lustmord. I don't think they'll do a dub album, but I don't think its such a huge stretch. Maybe we'll get to here some Melvins dub on that remix album that was supposed to come out.

Good call.

Here's hoping.....

I have a question...

Ministry Fiend, have YOU ever put out a dub album?  Now that sounds like a really great idea.  Not that I would have ANY interest in buying it, and I really like Dub Reggae.  But I do know that if you in fact have not put out a dub album, by your logic, that makes you a pussy.

Actually yes I have. Infact I've put out 4 of them and they sell reasonably well as far as independant release's go. If you DO really like Dub Reggae you'd love my albums. So the answer to your question is Ministry Fiend is a tuff cunt.....not a pussy.

POTRE is a bit dubby in a few places like Toadi Acceleratio, not echo-bass but sort of beat driven

Yeah definately. POTRE is an amzing record and it's that record along with Bootlicker that make me think a full blown Dub album from the Melvins would be devastating......especially with two drummers and Jared's bad-ass bass tone. It would HAVE to be a bonafide Dub Producer such as Scientist that Dubbed it though.......although I'm sure Toshi/Dale/Lustmord would do a good job.

I'd also LOVE Lustmord to do a record with Sly & Robbie. That would be bad-ass too..... Really REALLY dark Dub stylee.

Has anyone heard Ministry's Rio Grande Dub? I was doing the same over on the Pissarmy and eventually that album dropped...complete with George W Bush looking like a Rasta on the cover with a bad-ass Jamaican sound system. Problem was that the music wasn't proper Dub with massive bass and loads of echo, reverb and sound effects!! It was crappy tinny ass skinny ass Industrial remixes of the original songs! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

the melvins should also put out this record, mon: "ministry anthems: songs from junkie metalhead sellouts who use political propaganda to make cash so they can jam dirty needles into their veinless feet." in dub, no less.

Like I said earlier......any Dub album from Melvins would be awesome. Ministry did their Dub album and it was crappy so It's up to the Melvins to prove that another heavy band other than the mighty Godflesh can put out a kick ass Dub album.

By the way....................Al Jourgensen is clean now and it makes sense as his political propaganda albums were crappy and they didn't sell.......this left him with fuck all cash which in turn stopped him buying top grade hammer which in turn stopped him from having a raging habit.

Can you give us the titles & label that they are on so we can buy them?  Thanks .

Lets see some links to those dub albums you mentioned Fiend. I bet there as shitty as the rest of the music you hype (including Ministry). Ya wee trumpet. Rocky Dennis out!

[spunkmonkey]

Couldn't you two just get a room?

[FantomasSF]

That would be hott!!!!!!

[Chomas]

Maybe I'm wrong but I dont see Buzz being down with some pot-laced dub heaviness.  I bet he hates it actually, lol.

Look here I don't like dub but I damn you say anything bad about Ministry.

[FantomasSF]

Dude Im not going to sit here and isolate every Ministry fan. Yes I do think Ministry is overrated, and that is "my opinion". They have influenced a few musicians I'm sure (including my musical hero Patton), and I totally recognize that I'm just not into 'em. If your down with the Ministry happy listening. God I love America.

I love dub music. I own some albums by Creation Rebel, Augustus Pablo, Twilight Circus Dub Soundsystem, King Tubby, Scientist, Dub Trio, a local dub band called The Children, Pole and others.


I have listened to Rio Grande Dub and I thought it was meh...

The Damage Manual dubs don't sound too bad.

AOL music has a really good stream of dub music that I listen to frequently

I would love to be a part of a dub band either playing bass or the soundboard/effects manipulator.

As for a melvins dub album, I think Kevin's  bass style would be a good fit for that. On POTRE, I have always thought that ZZZBest and Safety Third had some dub magic going on.

It doesn't have to be pot laced. King Tubby didn't smoke it.
