a lot of the Melvins fans are older and have been fans for ages. the older you get, the less you need to jump around and be crazy to appreciate music. quit bashing on the crowd. some of them have probably been listening to these guys since before some of you were born.
Yeah, hello… Welcome to my world… Saw them at a time when cellular phones were for fuckheads who rode around in limousines and we all threw bottles at them
Anyone who is wondering about the crowd. It's Norway. This is what scandanavian people are like. Though I would say dancing would help keep you warmer.
I was lucky enough to see the Melvin's in September of 2006 when they were touring for a senile animal. I feel like this was a high point for the band, simply amazing. I love ozma, bullhead and eggnog but this record put them on a entirely different level.
WHY TWO DRUMMERS???? If you HAVEN'T seen them live, you'll NEVER know the answer to that... IT WILL BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF and have your ears ringing for DAYS! Thats the point! Been a Melvins fan for over 7 years know, seen them for the first time last week. Once you go, you'll understand grasshopper.
Great fucking band. I saw them live and was blown away for lack of a better word. It’s like getting hit by a truck and loving it. The sound was so thick and the band was in the pocket tight as hell. Definitely innovators who found their own sound and ran with it. I’ve never heard anything quiet the same but have heard others try to imitate falling short.
@joequirk king buzzo probably has Viking ancestors, there seems to be a lot of Scandinavian history in Seattle. (Laguage courses at the college, museums, seems rich). Coastal lands!!! Fish food! ;)
@classicalmurray If you listen to the studio albums Crover runs two drum tracks on most songs....his solos have multiple layers also. Hats off to anyone that can hold a candle to him; it's a thing of beauty.
@classicalmurray they dont always play exactly the same thing. right after the first break in this song they are playing two different things. it leads to a whole world of other possibilities, not to mention it looks and sounds fucking awsome ;)
If you've never seen Melvins with both Dale and Coady live, then you'll NEVER EVER understand the two drummers thing. I pity you. Yes, they do harmonize a lot, but they also have a lot separate fills and solos. 3 shows in the last year is what i've done. I have to live with the pain everyday that i wasn't listening to the melvins 20 year ago, and the three times ive seen them should be my 300th time, but thats life. And thank God i live in a world where they are always just a click away.
@classicalmurray They don't always play the exact same thing---one frequent example is when one just goes at on the snare while the other hitting cymbals/snare. either way it does make it more awesome.
@classicalmurray Dale is getting old, so his bones are getting weaker. He has said this himself. So, they need another drummer to keep the low end powerful
