who played Bass on Houdini?

[Dan_Halen]

Quite true. Stallion is the product of their coupling. This is why his Av. looked so much like Dale.

LMFAO 
There needs to be an entire section of this Forum called "Melvins Bassist Discussions"

I remember even being confused as a kid back in 92-93. There was no internet (at least for me) back then so I was always so puzzled. Did Lori really kill that cat in the pic or is it still alive? What happened to Joe Preston?... Did they kick him out for making a shitty solo album? Are the Melvins friends with Mudhoney or are they angry Matt Lukin is with them now? ...and when Houdini came out "Oh I see Lorax is back. Where the fuck did she go? I dont care she's better to look at than Joe!

**Keep in mind these are NOT real questions I am asking now, but rather the amusing recollections of me when I was a 14 year old kid with no answers or real information.***

***(I still am somewhat curious about the cat tho)

Did Lori ever quit doing drugs?  I know she's still alive, but well into her 50's, and even older than Buzz.  I thought i heard something where she became a librarian?

I know from personal experience that that cat LOVED being held upside down.  I'm sure it was purring in that photo, no joke.  Super sweet cat.

Ha, that's wierd. So you knew that cat?
Someone posted an interview recently with Dale from several years ago (2000ish? can't remember) and he said he thinks the cat is still alive and that the cat enjoyed being held upside down.
I wonder if the cat's still alive. Probably not.

I knew the owners a little, and so by default the cat.  If the cat was alive then it's very unlikely its alive now.  At least it would be a pretty old fucking cat.  That photo was taken in 1990 and the cat was full grown then.

I never even knew he and Lori were a couple!!

i could see dale flinging his briefs at kevin.

Wow that's unbeliv.....hey wait that was a fib wasn't it? Naughty Norecess, naughty! 

Quite true. Stallion is the product of their coupling. This is why his Av. looked so much like Dale.

So at most Stallion's no more than 14 years old + American!!! 

i am

I suspect the cat would have been less full-grown if it hadn't spent half its waking life being held up by its tail. Cats stretch. I've seen it happen.

Weirdly enough I just saw this video in my Youtube sidebar after reading this thread.

Melvins - June Bug / Sky Pup - Live 1997

In an interview not too long ago, maybe with Scion, Dale said the cat is actually still alive and he saw it not too long ago. Apparently, it didn't even mind being held up like that... if you can trust Dale that is...

"This album is mostly just me and [drummer] Dale [Crover]. Either I played bass or he did on almost all of it regardless of what the credits say

[anaconda]

King Buzzo - Guitar, Bass (uncredited), vocals
Dale - drums, Bass (uncredited), vocals
Billy Anderson - Bass on tracks 6 and 10
Bill Bartell - Bass (and Lead Guitar) on track 4

[Rene They Call Him]

It's interesting . . . some of my favorite Melvins basslines are on that album.

Anyone know specifically who played bass on  Pearl Bomb and Honey Bucket?   Apparently Buzz played bass on Night Goat and Billy Anderson did on Teet, so that solves those.

One o my goals is to play Pearl Bomb fretless
