Melvins - 6. The Bloat/The Bit [Belfort - Eurockeennes 2003] 

The monsterous tone of a massively distorted bass is something else.

I've spent days watching Melvins shows on youtube and this is the best one yet. Good flipping grief

best lineup and best setlist era

There's something to appreciate about every bassist that's gone on a tour of duty with Buzz & Dale but fuuuuck Kevin is otherworldly.

That bass!

that bass tone! damn!!

@BroknJokr That bass tone during The Bloat is just perfect

this whole the best melvins performance captured on tape. Very raw, every song is a sidesplitter.

It would be rad to see Kevin back in with them for a round.

I wanna mount that bass above my fireplace.

Masterpiece

I wish this was the bass tone for the album version of The Bloat

you've found it, the heaviest video on youtube.

Say what you will about the Melvins...but they're the fucking MELVINS. They are an amazing and inspiring band, and although they certainly are not the most unpredictable band out there, I have yet to see their act go stale. HAIL KING BUZZO! MELVINS FOREVER! 20 STUDIO ALBUMS AND RUNNING!! KEEP THAT SHIT COMING!!!!!!

Rutmanis rocksss!!!

melvins forever man

@MAGOMAX1970 Thanks for the comment, I'm happy to share with other fans of this incredible band

I'm pretty sure Kevin's tuning on this one is M-L-V-N.

I'm detecting some kind of witchcrafty musical spell stuff happening with the Melvin music. Sometimes the words appear to exist only for their sound ,not meaning. I like it.

It’s taken me almost 20 years to realize that the Les Paul custom buzz is playing only 5 tuners and 5 strings

The Bit is partially Buzz's interpretation of "The Treasure Of Sierra Madre" mixed in with certain events of '90s pop zeitgeist. Prove me wrong... lol

T_HE BIT great live

I love this intro.

VIKING ROADIE

Bass tone at 1:52 ... enough said

this was uploaded, downloaded, uploaded again, downloaded again, and uploaded again. You're missing out - the original sounds way better.

it sounds really strange without the second drummer

FU stage wear..lol.......these guys are sick !

scary....

Everything doesn't have to be perfect and polished in absurdum to be fantastic. Quite the opposite. The Melvins are the evidence.

Shame the brown was gnawing hard at Kevin ( probably the speedballing which is deadlier ) cause he was the best bassist Melvins ever had .
