MELVINS/Void Manes

Also, I think the "Heathen Earth" and "Subhuman" on the Tribute 7" were sort of meant to **approximate** Throbbing Gristle, while most of the stuff on the CD version (which lacks those two) seems to at least line up to the original songs to my ears. Like "Zyklon B Zombie" has the same chords but instead of distorted bass(?) its surf guitar

31 Jazz Funk Flavors sounds like it's has a sample of Let it All Be in it

John put his vinyl in the NO No Hole and found a sound that sounds like the Night Goat bassline but if you ordered it off of Wish.

I will certainly need a new stylus!!!

I bet every single No No Hole creates it's own one of a kind version of the album.

I liked that someone (John) actually tried this, and we got to hear what it would sound like. But on the whole i've been absolutely sick to death of Melvins and Haze banging on about this damn, stupid hole. I suppose collectors will like it and that it shows a copy is an original but honestly i thought the whole idea was totally dumb. Even just seeing that clip of Haze drilling the holes and seeing the vinyl flex whilst doing it. I wouldn't be surprised if he fucked some up all for a pointless second hole. Truly it's bizarre that this drilled hole has garnered more chat than the actual music on the record!

So John, besides having to change your stylus... what can you tell us about "Heathen Earth" and "Subhuman"? Are the same versions from ELS and the TG seven-inch?

I will have to put a no no hole in my Sausages CD and check!

Haven't heard this yet but prob my most anticipated Melvins release since ASA ... the lead up to this dropping has been epic and torturous. I'm envisioning greatness. Wish they woulda tackled "Persuasion" tho ... that tune is just so chilling and gross ... woulda been cool to see how they twisted that.

I really hope that at some point Melvins collaborate with Void Manes on a all new material release. Something that isn't covers or interpretations. I think that could result in something very interesting. I'm thinking along the lines of Melvins songs with added chaos.

I would say to temper your expectations, however having said that i know you are probably one of the most adventurous and accepting music fans on here so i imagine you will probably love it.

i've listened twice and loved it. TG is not totally my bag but Dumpster D sent me a live tape so i've heard that at least.

It's their best stuff IMHO.

I forgot I sent you a Tape dude...Might have been 'best of Vol.1' or 'Vol.3' That has the sludgy bass lines that sound like they were a big influence on a few Melvins tunes.

Impossible stuff to get 20 years ago, now a lot of those tapes are finally uploaded on YT.

A few nights ago i had a listen to each of the Gristle original songs then the Melvins version for each song on the album. I wanted to see how similar they were or how opposed. I noticed a few are indeed fairly similar but most quite different. So in a way it is it's own thing.
