Can you please put up a YouTube link to hear the Melvan?
The download, she eez no bueno, senior......

I don't have it anymore.  The clip is lost somewhere on a hard drive.  Maybe someone saved it?

You aren't missing a lot. It's a barely running engine sound.

I was trying to put up Steel Pole Bath Tub-Four Barrels,
but YouTube only has the whole album.
The Melvan was on the MELVINS Facebook group, this week.
Deserves better comments than "kiss blows!"

The Melvan thing has kind of run it's course.  It was a hot topic for a while, then the whole ebay thing kind of killed interest in it, as it was sold, then it wasn't, then it was, then it wasn't....Now it has sold, but for far less than anyone ever thought it would. It's still an interesting piece of history.  In, and after high school, we'd smoke out in that thing, tye dye shirts, and once recorded vocals in it.

You're the authority. That last sentence pretty much sums it up: cool as all get out!

I should clarify. When I say "we", I mean myself, the guy who owned it, and another friend.  Nothing to do with the band. This was many years after they had left Grays Harbor.

Hanzy, tell us a story! Didn't you work with "Melvin"???

Not much to tell really.  I did work with him, for a few years.  He wasn't a manager when I worked for him, so he really wasn't my boss .  He did a lot of glares when I'd wear my Melvins shirts in the store.  There were at least 4-5 guys still working at that store that had worked with Buzz when he was there.  I honestly don't remember any stories that might have been told to me.

Nice. Back in the day when we did the cover songs thread, I think we put one at the end of ours and it sounded MUCH worse.  I just don't know where the damn song is anymore.
