1. cause the melvins never wrote 'Vertigo'

2. cause Buzz doesn't suck everyone's dick like Bono.

I see no correlation between the Melvins and U2. But I'm bored so I will post. I truely think it is a matter of preference. Sunday Bloody Sunday is a damn cool song. Alot of their stuff they were putting out then is pretty cool & original. I also have a hard time calling them sellouts or whatever. They have just become boring and preachy. The albums from War to The Joshua Tree were pretty groundbreaking. Even Achtung Baby was pretty solid. In my opinion, though, I would take the Melvins all day, everyday. I dont even own a U2 album.

ain't no correlation, i just think U2 suck so damn bad. Good grief, do they ever suck now.

Those old albums are ok at best. I've listened to em and I have Joshua Tree but the new stuff sucks. Daniel Lanois saved that album.


anyway, this should be about how the melvins are better than U2

so post ways if you got em.


Dale is king, larry sucks.

I don't own anything by U2 either. I had a copy of War when it came out, but I was like in 8th grade. Listen to the first PIL album and hear where the Edge got his guitar style-it's Keith Levene all the way baby.

Known most for his early membership in the Clash and also for his slicing, slashing guitar work with Public Image Limited, Keith Levene is one of the more overlooked key players of punk and post-punk, not only as an innovative guitar player but also as a major factor in punk's sound collision with reggae. Since leaving PiL during the making of their fourth record, Levene has worked sporadically, popping up every now and then with a new project.

Bizarrely enough, the punk pioneer got his start in music as a roadie for Yes in the early '70s. Through a former schoolmate, Levene weaseled his way into helping Alan White

Holy crap! Thank you very much Cliff Klaven. Seriously man, are you into PIL? Have you heard " Radioaxiom " by Jah Wobble/Bill Laswell? Got anything for trade?

On an unrelated note it is now Summer in Antarctica.
