Are the Melvins closer to punk or metal?

[norecess]

Punk rock with heavy overtones

[klump]

shutty! 

[EGO the Living Planet]

I think whoever said "both and neither" nailed it.

I would say attitude and style wise they are punk all the way.

Musically, there are definate elements of both, but the metal ones are more appearent at first glance.

FUCK! I can't seem to find this anywhere. I once ordered it from Amazon (or is it AMAZON? Amazon?) SHIT! Well, I ordered it from there and they cancelled my order because I didn't respond to an email they sent me. Hmm, Punk or Metal? I really can't say, all I know is that the Melvins are insane. I mean, come on!

whatever you fucking prick!

(I want to yell at someone, you're an easy target)

punk+metal=petal

that's why the melvins have so many covers that have flowers or "girly" kind of stuff.

Hehe.

I'd say more metal to be honest.

Depends on what you think metal and punk are for a start.


In my opinion, the Melvins cannot be "defined" as either, but i would edge them towards Metal rather than punk.

The Melvins are CLASSIC ROCK. Like this

Well they certainly do more punk and 70's rock covers than metal covers.
