I don't think the Melvins have ever gone out to try and sound like anyone imparticular. They've always just done they're own thing but, I doubt that they've never been inspired by anyone's ones work. To me they're two entirely different bands that are friends and have inspired each other to keep pushing each other to do more in they're music. You have to admit as the Melvins' music progresses the more different they're sound is but, still innovative enough to have a loyal fan bass and still attract new ones with every album. Though on a personal note that recent Tool album that came out just sounds like something they should have released as a second CD with Laterlaurus or whatever. It's a nice album no doubt but, I wanna hear something from Tool that I wouldn't expect. 10,000 Days was just like, "OK...nothing I haven't heard from them before."
