I think you mean Henry Bogdan?

I think Oven by Helmet was probably the first Melvins song I ever heard as I was massively into Helmet before the Melvins.

Nah, Bogdan is the bass player, page hamilton is the singer/songwriter/guitarist.

True. And Page's not on it :)

You're right! Incredible! It's like someone just told my my name was steve!

Around 91 a friend of mine lent me Eggnog and Goat by the Jesus Lizard. I had nevre heard either band before and I don't think that any band I have heard of since can compare to either of them, although TITD comes purty damned close.

I was browsing through Amazon lists and saw the Melvins "Stoner Witch" on it, but didn't think too much about it at the time. About two weeks later, I found Stoner Witch and wondered what the hell it would sound like, mainly due to the Swan on the cover and the title made me raise my eyebrow. Life hasnt been the same since.

I saw the Melvins open one of the big Crescent Ballroom shows in Tacoma in like 1985 or '86... actually, they may have played second.  I don't clearly remember the detail as, during that point of my life, I was almost certainly on lots of acid.  I do know that I was hooked from that first time I saw them and have been coming back for more ever since.

A buddy of mine had the Honky LP, I asked him what it was like and he said something like,"Dude, it's fuuuuuuuuckin' out there bro!!!!!" I listened to it and instantly had the feeling of a beautiful woman and I running to one another on a pristine beach.

In the early 90's some odd looking model (riding a skateboard, I think) was on MTV, and she said she listens to the Melvins. It seemed like such a ridiculous name for a band, and so I never forgot it.  On a whim 5 years ago I listened to samples of The Bootlicker on amazon.com, and I was hooked.

I had never even heard about them, until once when I was looking into more Doom Metal bands and albums, I came across a list of ten best doom albums by someone, and there was Bullhead on that list. I downloaded all of them, and when I listened Bullhead I was like WTF!?!?!?!?!? It was an instant kick in the head, and now I'm deeply in love with the Melvins, and have introduced them to several friends. All are like "whoa, man, what is this stuff??" :)

Very strange, I remember that show on MTV.  She picked up a copy of the Night Goat single, showed it to the camera, and said something like, 'When I want to listen to something heavy, I listen to this-.'

It's all fucking good-dini as far as I'm concerned. Then again, I'd eat a MELVINS deep fried turd. GO MELVINS!!

I have no idea, I just remember I wanted to find like 5 new bands in a week so I could brag to my friends about these bands and they wouldnt know em.

And I came up with like Helmet, Hoods, The Melvins, and some others.

I just stuck with the melvins though.
