Melvins Go All Dub Reggae On Our Ass!!!

[Ministry Fiend]

And that some of us could avoid them?  Thanks.

(Sorry M.F., but you know it really was the logical response.)

Oh don't fret. I was expecting nothing less

Sadly It was a white lie and I haven't yet released my devastating debut Dub. When I do though this Melvins board will be the first to hear my amazing vision of what sound can be.

What!, You lied,how can we believe anything you say now....I'm crushed.

Sorry about that.

Believe one thing though...............Meursault is great!

Jah Wobble sure knew how to make a bass sound heavy.

He still does my friend. Jah still releases numerous Dub albums. He's just released a Chinese type one with his wife who's Chinese....I haven't heard it though. One of his he did with Invaders Of The Heart a few years back called "Molam Dub" is pretty amazing. Then of course he's on numerous Bill Laswell Dub albums too.

Jah Wobbles Dub Reggae basslines are what made PIL so awesome imo. I've always wondered why 99% of Rock/Punk/Metal etc have a skinny bass sound drowned out in the backround when it is the phattest sounding instrument and makes heavy music sound that much heavier?

True, too often the bassist follows the guitar chord and emphasizes the guitar on predicatble moments. I am a (struggling) bass player myself (strugglers are the best ones by the way), and I refuse to do that. Maybe that is because I don't know what the guitarist plays.

I am a massive fan of PiL's bass lines but I love all the instruments. They were all a bunch of talented mofo's.

Currently listening to Flowers Of Romance, the one without a bass

Judas!


Seriously though PIL were such an amazing band. And bass guitar is easily my fav sounding instrument in music hence my love of all things Dub.

The great thing about Reggae/Dub was that Bass guitar was the superstar.

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.

First off don't come around here being a fucking asshole.You can be cooler than what you were about it.I don't care what you listen to.I was just playing with ya over the whole thing if it moves you listen if not don't.God I hate america

Ball baag alert. Dude who shit in your cornflakes. Ministry is not a band I even consider worth debating or arguing over. Dude take those little pills out of your murse(man purse) labeled Paxil, and pop about 4 of those. Then grab the other labeled Prozac and pop about 4 of those. Hopefully your over agressive attitude will get the needed adjustment that seems to be long overdue. Stop acting like a wee numpty.  Rocky Dennis out!

Hey douche bag last I checked you started this exchange. You think you are way too sick. Do you really think anyone will listen to you barking orders there chief. One word: Relax. Stay out of my convo seeing that you werent even invited. Get over yourself, depression, or whatever is lodged up your arse, but don't ever bark a fuckin order at me. The "wee numpty" was a reference to my one time nemesis turned cohort Ministry Fiend. Have fun in Graceland genius.

OK, to get back on topic, I just found an old Pitchfork article that said:
Gang of Four bassist Dave Allen recently told Pitchfork that the mixes will include...two Melvins remixes of "He'd Send in the Army" (one being a "dub mix")

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/35292-gang-of-four-give-fans-money-online-remixes

This article was written back in '05, and, as far as I can see, the remix didn't get released

so, if you take this into consideration, along with some of the dublike elements of POTRE and the Bootlicker and the fact that they're fans of PIL, a dub album doesn't seem too far-fetched

Now, the next question is: what songs would make for a good dub remix? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Boris, History of Bad Men, and The Fool, The Meddling Idiot

[Mad Arab]

The Bloat would be awesome for a dub version. The cool bassline is already there.
Let It All Be would be good too.
Cow would be good for the awesome drum solo.

Nice ideas. I think Roman Bird Dog would be insanely tight, and With Teeth would be incredible. To hell with it just Dub out the whole Lysol album. I think Foaming would work as well especially the crunchy guitar riff portion.

[FartLips]

fuck all this remix crap. remixes are for bands who couldn't get it right the first time and pretentious assholes who think they can make other peoples songs better but can't write their own. I want NEW SONGS NOW!!!!

[Mad Arab]

Yeah, Electroretard sucks.

[Chief Ten Beers]

I've said this before and I'll say it again........Melvins should make a bad-ass Dub Reggae album Melvins stylee!

BAD IDEA
