anaconda once said something among the lines of: "if you are able to keep up with Buzz and Dale on GPT, you can't be a very bad bass player", always liked that line.

just because you are able to play songs written by another artist doesnt necessarily mean you are a good bass player. I feel it is what you contribute as a creative musician, thats what i think makes a good bass player or guitarist or whatever.

Sure, of course. I'm all for ignoring the rules and write your own book. To quote Keii Haino then "First there was music, then came the rules", and that sums it up perfectly. I was trying to say Matt Lukin was a good bass player because he was able to keep up with Buzz and Dale at that time because Gluey Porch Treatments is one motherf*cking isnane album! The structures, rythm shifts, fast, slow, stop, break, interval, fast, speed, slow, end.... I'm just saying he did a pretty good nevertheless and if he would have been bad he wouldn't been able to follow, I'm sure.

Come on, Fez ! Even Cobain auditioned for the Melvins and failed, and according to Rolling Stone Magazine he is the 12th best guitarist in history in their top 100 list of greatest guitarists off all time. Just to give you a loose idea on what level the Melvins are functioning.

[CaptainPungent]

no.

we all love buzz, but we all know he is a control freak.
he doesn't care about the bassists that leave/or are fired

i find that very sad, because some of the best bassists have been in the band (JOEMARKKEVINETC)

buzz holds too many grudges, come on buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Why do they need to reunite with Lukin? Just because he was the original bass player? To get more audience on shows? 70 % of Melvins fans don't even know who is Matt Lukin and nobody really cares who plays bass for Melvins. It's all about Buzz and Dale.

Why do they need to reunite with Lukin?

We're talking Melvins here, things work a little different then whatever your flavor of this month is.

So, from now on, every time you ask yourself 'why?', you should ask yourself 'why not?'. If you manage to do that, you'll get a much, much idea of what the Melvins are about.

I can't believe I actually took the time to respond to you.

seems like a lukin reunion is less likely than a kevin reunion but more likely than a JOE reunion.

[glen]

I don't think J-rad and Coady are going anywhere.

[ManWithNoName]

GOOD.

[glen]

GOOD.

[CaptainPungent]

GOOD.

i agree, these guys were meant to stay

it's weird how many people could work so well with melvins

I want to see them add a Roland 808 to the mix.
