It seems like they just released the Manchild disc with many of the same tunes that we are to hear on Sugar Daddy. On top of that, we already have an abundance of live recordings from every era of Melvins. From Your Choice Live to Tora Tora Tora to the End, Live at Slim's and the exhausting Melvins vs. Minneapolis set.

Is this really what the world needs? Seems like a cash grab. I mean, shit, throw some covers on there, some obscure B-side stuff, since the only people that buy Melvins records are us, why not appease your fan base?

Has this already been mentioned in another thread? Seems kinda obvious.

If you don't want it, don't buy it. It's not rocket science.
Q: Who else think the Melvins are awful?
A: People with any taste in music

You're missing his point, thrashoholic.  A live album from two years ago?   With songs that have already been released?  YAWN.

I can see everyone's point but come on its Melvins people! Two years ago, four years ago, fifteen years ago who cares when they're from it'll be great regardless. Unless that is it turns out to not be of course!  :? Personally i want MORE live releases!!!!!!

Being a relatively new melvins fan), were there jaded fans back in the 90s even?

aaah, the 90s. the decade that started with released like bullhead, lysol, eggnog, the solo ep's.. and that's still only '92..

i dont know but i think there were less. but they did exist, yes, also back then, i'm sure... you know, people who had read all about them and had already made up their mind and decided they'd embrace this band with as much love as the rest of the seattly bands... they sure did come home from a cold circus, to use another expression sans sense..

I'm not tired of the live albums at all.  Most of those live releases you mentioned are limited collectors type stuff.  This is only the 3rd proper "live album" in 25 years (and the Live Houdini thing almost doesn't count at that).  If anything, I'd like them to release more. I'd like them to roll Stones style and do a live album every tour. At least one for every line up.

I was hopin' this would be a double.

Like someone else said, if you don't want it you don't have to buy it.

Seriously?  :shock:

I think it might be cool to take all the bootlegs / proper live recordings you can find and compile all the albums with their correct track listing, cobbling together live takes from different venues and different dates. I think it would sound cool. I wonder if there are any Melvins songs (barring rarities or B-sides) that have never been played live?

Anyone know?

I'm pretty excited to hear this. Yes some of these songs are on the second half of "Pick Your Battles.." - Same tour Yes.. But this is a full Live set from the current lineup. Which as far as I know, we haven't gotten a proper release of yet. We all have tons of bootlegs I'm sure.. This is going to sound much better. Can't wait!  :D

yeah, im not huge on live albums... history of gluttony and lust was amazing though.  too bad they didnt go in that sort of direction, but I can see why they wouldnt. I thought the manchild stuff wasnt really released by the band.

Yeah, there's some:
A Vast Filthy Prison is the only song off A Senile Animal they haven't played live. They haven't played the last four songs off Nude With Boots live (not that Flush is really playable...), or I'll Finish You Off, Hospital Up, Inhumanity and Death, and P.G. x 3 off Bride. Most of Honky hasn't been played live which is understandable. Songs like Hide and Yacobs Lab have probably never been played live and were probably never intended to be. I've never heard live versions of Judy, The Horn Bearer, Pink Bat, Safety Third, etc.

Personally, I'd really like see them do In the Freaktose the Bugs are Dying, The Horn Bearer, A Vast Filthy Prison, and Hospital Up live
