QuoteTo be honest, I liked Slayer when I was 14, but they grew boring and monotonous quick. To me;

Down
Crowbar
Superjoint Ritual
Eyehategod
Clearlight
Pantera
CoC

I still like Slayer (and Testament, Exodus, etc.... mostly for nostalgic purposes).  From your list there I definitely like Down, Eyehategod, and Pantera.  CoC's earliest stuff still holds up, but I haven't really been impressed for years and years by them.  I always kind of thought Crowbar and SJR were jokes.  Weedeater are one of my favs and would fit nicely in your list.  Music is a personal thing and tastes on this board run the gamut.  I mean, I love hip-hop, techno, jazz, death metal, grindcore, alt-country-punk-bluegrass (Hank III, Those Poor Bastards, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, 16 Horsepower, Legendary Shack Shakers, etc.), and Frank Sinatra.  I guess it all comes down (no pun intended) to the music, and how it makes me feel, than the "genre". 

PhilxCore

My tastes pretty much fit into; metal (most varieties), electronic music (mainly dubstep & dnb), reggae, hip-hop, classic rock.

Most stuff outside those genres doesn't do it for me. Obviously some exceptions.

HAIR METAL?  YOU'RE THE BIGGEST CLOSET POISON FAN AROUND, AREN'T YOU?


PhilxCore

When I wrote 'metal' I was thinking...wait, better write 'most varieties' because some entire subgenres suck balls, like hair metal  :lol:

Saying that, I  bought and liked Power Metal (confusing actually a hair metal abum...) by Pantera.

TheSwingSet

wow, i just had to catch up on 10+ pages of madness.....
I'm very interested in this tour. DOWN aren't a bad band by any means. My only dissapointment is that the Melvins will have a shorter set. But Oh Well, I will take what i can get. I'm curious if there will be any NC Dates, i can only think of a handfull of venues they could play at...(The Cat's Cradle is just getting too small for Melvins/Big Business tours as it is)....
and for what its worth i love COC. I think Deliverance is a fine album and there last with Stanton Moore on drums was pretty damn heavy and groovy.
Indeed.
"SwingSet you look like a bunch of guys I know in Ireland.  It's a particular  look I can't describe.  A sort of don't fuck with me or I'll kill you look.
I mean all this in the nicest possible way of course"

Wow. There are many Melvins super-fans in here. :lol:  Down have some great songs: Bury Me In Smoke, Lysergik Funeral Procession, Learn From This Mistake, Nothing In Return, Eyes Of The South, just to name a few...Its better than a 2nd rate Melvins ripoff :lol:

>>>JZS<<<

When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go DOWNtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, DOWNtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
DOWNtown, things'll be great when you're
DOWNtown, no finer place for sure,
DOWNtown, everything's waiting for you
(DOWNtown)

Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows DOWNtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close DOWNtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
DOWNtown where all the lights are bright,
DOWNtown, waiting for you tonight,
DOWNtown, you're gonna be alright now
(DOWNtownDOWNtown)

DOWNtown
(DOWNtown)

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
DOWNtown, things'll be great when you're
DOWNtown, don't wait a minute more,
DOWNtown, everything's waiting for you

DOWNtown (DOWNtown)DOWNtown (DOWNtown)
DOWNtown (DOWNtown) DOWNtown (DOWNtown)
(repeat and fade out)

im thinking that maybe the main difference between us all, is that melvins fans appreciate the slow, bassier things in life.
but i may be wrong.   :P
Lololol I think that may be the only thing we have in common. Doom/stoner my favourite genre of music.

I'm also a massive fan of Dubstep...the slowest bassiest music ever created. If you haven't heard of it yet, it'll be taking over your electronic music scene soon  8)
I heard all this buzz about "London Zoo" so I gave it a chance.  Glad I did.  Haven't really researched the "dubstep" genre though do you have any recommendations other than previous records by the Bug?

its one singular pat.  don't get greedy.  I don't just dish the damn things out to every tom, dick and randall that shows up at the melvins message board.

HOW DO YOU KNOW I HAVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY ON?  HOW DO YOU KNOW I DON'T HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT BUTTON?  I DON'T LIKE THOSE ASSUMPTIONS.

the ether bunny

do you hold down the shift button? that sounds more tedious than anyone would be interested in. hell, if you put that kinda
effort into working a 9-5 job, maybe you wouldnt have near 100 posts on a board that you registered at 2 days ago. :-D
