LYSOL

[SchnabelA]

Lysol is for me the best album Melvins has ever-ever-ever-ever made. Perfect to listen at full volume when you drive around in the beautiful norwegian fjords at summertime. Narrow roads, big mountains, the fjord and Dale Crover hammering every ?? seconds on the "first" track is an exeptional experience. And when Buzz goes into Sacrfice, the gas-pedal is mowing dangerously. "Can you hear the war-cries, it`s time to enlist!!!" Of course Buzz, it`s 14 years since I left the norwegian army, but I WILL enlist, I promise!

its a growth industry out there, people are knocking off copies of it, worse than velvet elvises

I'm a bit more partial to the bull & toreador.

I guess lysol brings out the imagination.    I'm with conda,  I don't really think MELVINS try to illustrate their recordings with their cover art.   if they DO, then someone please explain the TRILOGY to me.

The only thing with Lysol that gives me association to indians is the track Sacrfice, which obviously has a war-theme.

SACRIFICE:

Can't you hear the war cry
It's time to enlist
The people speak as one
The cattle, the crowd
Those too afraid to live
Demand a sacrifice
Demand a sacrifice
Demand a sacrifice of your life
Sacrifice

Can you smell their stinking breath
Listen to them
Chanting and gasing and
Chanting their slogans
It's a grave digger's song
Praising God and state
So the nation will live
So we all can remain as cattle
They demand a sacrifice
They demand a sacrifice
They demand a s sacrifice of your life
Sacrifice

The way Buzz sings on some parts of the lyric reminds me of an angry indian, especially when he sings "It's a grave digger's song".

Every time when I listen to Hung Bunny and look at the cover, instead of war images between indians and cowboys, use to imagine the indian in some kind of meditation while looking at the sky, specially when you begin to hear the "aahhhhhh" voices sounding very low, like a shaolin monk or a budist meditating in the distance.

can someone explain what lysol has to do with an indian sitting on a horse?

When I listen to Hung Bunny, a movie plays in my head. It is a lone Indian warrior, riding across the planes........surveying the ruined the landscape caused by whitey. Each single Crover blast is a cannon going off in the distance, from the American cavalry slowly marching towards the warrior's tribe's encampment. As the cannonballs start coming faster and faster, he climbs a hill overlooking the honky army. He summons forth the spirits of rain, wind and lightning. The sky darkens, and the ghosts of his Indian forefathers descend from the clouds on lightning bolts and ride with the last warrior to battle. (this is the steady drumming part) I've had that in my head for ten years and never shared.

And that is what an Indian on horseback has to do with Lysol.

i got chills as i imagined that last part about riding with the last warrior to battle.  i like that, man.
powerful image

[Vcavallo]

the first few "ah"s definitely have a native american flare in my ear.  as well as the steading pounding and chant-like voices.
i often think of native americans when i hear slow heavy music.  there seems to be some direct connection which i can't describe and don't know why i feel.

I always assumed the Lysol cover was because Buzz had that picture as a kid.

A picture of Jesus and an Indian over my bed, and playing with parts of my self.

more like "Hey, this looks cool"

i am pretty sure it's "jesus as an indian"
which actually makes more sense with what you are saying, since the indian is assuming the crucifixtion pose.
though i don't necessarily agree with your theory.  seems plausable, though
