What the Melvins think of us. (for real!)

[Vcavallo]

the following is a short [internet]dialog i had with Lustmord (AKA Brian Williams).  the last thing he says is a real tear-jerker...

Regarding Pigs Of The Roman Empire:
B:"I did about 75% of the final mix, the rest was done by Toshi."

V:"was the spastic volume at the beginning of "pink bat" your work or Toshi's?  i thought that was a nice touch and an interesting way to go beyond melding the sounds, and get into melding musical personalities.  that is to say, the melvins seem to enjoy fooling around with their audience, and in that song, that Mixer has a little fun with the listeners patience.  sorry that was a bit cryptic."

B:"Toshi recorded the original version, but the track was a bit problematic (being deliberately harsh etc) and it rambled a little too much towards the end. Dale and Kevin bought a mix over to my place (while Buzz was away with Fantomas - though he was in on the decission) and I cut out a section that nobody liked and tweaked the mix a little. They also wanted that opening to be more annoying, so I fucked around with it (a technical term) until it had the effect they were looking for. We though it was fun at the time, and you have to annoy someone now and again just to keep them on their toes."

V:"agreed.  i like that bit.  it really amuses me that it was decided that part should be "more annoying".  it makes me happy that they actually do think that way."

B:"Let's just say that they're quite mischievous, which means we get along well.
It should also be noted that they also have a healthy respect for the intelligence of their audience."

hehe, I love how the melvins try to annoy us with feedback and stuff. cause that really builds tension and suspense.

you can feel it in the gut.

... those long - long single note torture sessions Buzzo used to put us through.  The first two times i saw the melvins - it was with lorax on bass, they were doing the 2 set - evening shows.  
 Talk about torture - people were screaming - and then buzzo would just explode in one those montesano metal shop shredding riffs, and everybody was happy again.  
  interesting stuff....

I like the sound of feedback, alot of people don't but in music I think it sounds pretty neat.

[KURDTLUVUR!]

I like when the guitar guy played
real good feedback, and super sounding riffs.

I don't care what the Melvins think of me.

However, I CARE what Klump thinks of me!!!

HERETOTHERFORE, and AFTERMORE, I dedicate my song 'Klump' by the Presidents of the United States to Klump:
Ye all may downloadeth iteth..

Klump sat alone in a boggy marsh,
Totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into Klump's pajamas
She totally confused all the passing pihranas

She's Klump, she's Klump
She's in my head
She's Klump, she's Klump, she's Klump
She might be dead

Klump lingered last in line for brains
And the one she got was sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land
Is Klump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band'

She's Klump, she's Klump
She's in my head
She's Klump, she's Klump, she's Klump
She might be dead

Klump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Klump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
She spent her twenties between the sheets
Life limped along at sub-sonic speeds

She's Klump, she's Klump
She's in my head
She's Klump, she's Klump, she's Klump
She might be dead

Is this Klump outta my head'
I think so
Is this Klump outta my head'
I think so
Is this Klump outta my head'
I think so
Is this Klump outta my head'

thanks my pinkhaired friend

Shit you sure put a lot of fuckin' effort into that parody.

[KURDTLUVUR!]

Shit you sure put a lot of fuckin' effort into that parody.

It took two weeks, but it was definitely worth it!

6 inches up and 9 months to wait

Vinney this is cool. How did you get in contact with Lustmord?

That is interesting how Kevin and Dale couldn't change the intro without Buzz's blessing. Sounds like Metallica madness to me.
