Kevin Rutmanis and The Melvins...

[shits and gigs]

I get it but i don't get it.
Melvins don't need any label.
Cost of vinyl is irrelevant to me.

[John Schuller]

Without FNM, there would be no Bungle. Or Fantomas. Or Melvins on Ipecac.

Think about that for a second before you all bad mouth them. 

bullshit.
Melvins were not influenced by FNM at all.

If Mike Patton didn't make money from FNM he wouldn't have been able to start Ipecac records.  If that was the case albums like the Ipecac trilogy, H.A.T., POTRE, and others would have likely ended up being as rare and difficult to get as Honky and Electroretard.

*Edit* Actually I already mentioned this in the same thread.  I'm not sure what you aren't understanding.

When was the last time you were FORCED to do a job? Fuck Mike Bordin. He should know better.

Yea, I'm sure you'd turn down a job to play in a band with your hero.

I would not turn down a job to play with my hero. However, if let's say Buzz Osborne wanted to hire me to replace Lori Black's bass lines on Bullhead I would not do it.

So there.

What if Robert Johnson never strapped on a guitar?  No Zeppelin.
Geez,  your logic is silly.

Fact: Without Faith No More The Melvins would not be on Ipecac Records.

Duh? Who wouldn't believe that?

If not Ipecac it would have been someone else...

Yea like AmRep which released the out of print Honky and Singles 1-12.  Or Man's Ruin that put out the out of print Electroretard.  Chances are they would have ended up on one of those labels.  Just about every album the Melvins put out after the Atlantic years, maybe until the mid 2000's, could have been out of print and extremely difficult to find if not for Ipecac.  I'm happy I didn't have to spend $30 to get a used promo copy of The Maggot.

How are you not understanding this?

Awwwww.....I get it. So without Faith No More it would be harder for you to get Melvins records? Yippie! Let's suck the cock of Faith No More!!!!

If Ipecac did not exist the Melvins would have kept on making albums just as they did BEFORE Ipecac existed and before Mike Patton was even in Faith No More.

That's true, but at least Ipecac is like a guaranteed home for them - I doubt there are any real restrictions with Ipecac and certainly no involvement when it comes to intefereing with records.

Sure there are a lot of other labels out there but at the end of the day Ipecac is like the perfect home for Melvins allowing them to do any sort of release. AmRep too but the circulation of older records is non existent now.

Keyboard warrior. Not one of the better ones I've seen though.

I wish Ipecac could make an standard reissue of all the AmRep out of print stuff just like "The Bulls & The Bees + Electroretard": Prick, Honky, Alive At The Fucker Club, Singles 1-12, Pigskin/Starve Already, the Endless Residency albums, the Clown/Tribute B-sides, Beer Hippy and so on.

Cowz happened. It happened and it was incredible.

Melvinz!

A boy can dream.

A boy can dream.

What about a man?

Dogs dream. And every dog has his day. So, yes. Magic 8 ball says "yes".

I'll let you know in a few more years.

You should suck their cock because they make great music.  At worst you should be mildly happy that a mainstream band's success helped keep Melvins records in print.  Now piss off.

FNM make OK music in the grand scheme of everything that is out there. At worst I am mildly happy, mildly, that FNM's success has helped keep Melvins records in print.
