Melvins - 'The Bit' (Live at 3RRR) 

My dear old mum was recently starting to listen to some of the bands that I listen to, (Eyehategod, Mr Bungle, Primus and allsorts) but sadly I didn't get the chance to introduce her to The Melvins as she sadly passed away this weekend. I know for a fact she would have loved them though. RIP Mum. I'm gonna miss you loads!

Steve has been such a perfect fit. His sense of humour is the perfect foil for Buzz's seriousness.

I'm surprised to see Melvins on here, most hipster radio stations are averse to playing metal.

This is one of the hand full of reasons I started playing guitar during the pandemic. I told buzz that when I met him in October. He started when he was 18 and me when I was 28. He said that’s all he ever wanted to do was to inspire people to step out side of their comfort zone. The dude is a true hero to many

played this for my cat and he turned into the cleric beast from bloodborne

Bass is so loud in the mix! Love that.

When the guitar and bass come together in all that glorious fuzz and distortion, it sounds like one very powerful instrument.

melvins r such a strange band but i love them so much

Dale Crover is one of the few (singing) drummers that gets away with using a headset mic.

BASS

Brilliant. One of my fav Melvins tunes.. masterfully performed.

Who’s here in honour of the Anniversary!? 18 years at the time of this post 🫡

I saw them in 2000 at Irving Plaza completely sober. I was standing next to the bass cabinet, felt hammered by the end of the show. Easily the loudest show I’d seen

see there my friends, that's what it's all about... DYNAMICS make em wait for it, want it, then give it to em....Fk yeah!

So great they still play songs from STAG. The Bit is great one.

Best version of this amazing track!! I just love this band! Long live to the fucking Melvins!!!

Their chemistry is unmatched! Steven was a great addition on the 4 string. As much as I absolutely adore the Fantomas Melvins big band live version, this performance is soooo epic!

One of the loudest shows I've been too. The Melvins and Napalm Death. Not one to wear ear plugs, but damn.... My ears were fuked for a few days after.

So hard they work on their music so hard and they Rockand Steven Shea McDonalds a great bass player also puzzle rocks and dales awesome keep rocking buzzo

I learned all of my drumming knowledge from Phil Collins and Dale.

Did John Lurie compose your theme music?

No one has as much fun playing than the Melvins, Killer!

STILL UNTOUCHABLES

100% better than nirvana

I am just elated that so many people love the melvins. Gives me hope that people don’t have shit taste in music after all

@2:15... Ahh, that feels better

Tool's song The Grudge must have been inspired by the bridge of this song. Buzzo's riffs are hypnotic af.

This is grunge. Heavy, thick and viscous as a tar.

Sounds really good

Steven McDonald is neither the best nor worst bassist the Melvins have had, but he's definitely the most fun, and that's what they needed. Glad he's had a long spell with them.

Gil Scott Heron intro followed by Melvins? Yes please!

This song has huge, heavy, T-Rex balls.

Awesome. Wish I was there.

greatest live band that's ever Grace this Earth

This is grunge song, isso é magnífico, yeah ! ♥️♥️♥️

Fucking love the Melvins

The Melvins and Pantera, my favorite bands of all time

I think the only question is why Steven wasn't ALWAYS the bass for Melvin's antics. So perfect.

Good thing Grandma-Buzzo got that aluminium guitar. For. The. Nuance.

Legends!!!

Greatest bass arrangement this song ever had was courtesy of the Great Kevin Rutmanis \m/

Great live performance from a great band!! PHENOMENAL

Why in the hell has he two tuners on his pedalboard?

Buzz Osbourne is actually Lucifer on holiday.

And the 7th day God made The Melvins.....oh....thank you God

Kinda like Brann Dailor of Mastadon. They do a good cover of the bit.

Steve kills it on this. 👊👊👊

SSSiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!

when I grow up I want to be king buzo

Jodidamente buenos

Why do so many good bands have only a small "cult" following?

Magnificent MELVINS

Buzzo and Dale and Steve and Pincus rock hard The melvins rule

Is that the pedo spiral on his shirt?

I can totally hear a saxophone on this.

Millennium Monster Work with Fantomas and their work with big business is some pretty great stuff.

Kurt (rumoured) planned to fire Dave Grohl and have Dale drum the 4th NIRVANA-album. All respect to Dave (I mean that 100%) but that would've been awsome.

Melvins fan from the Melvins army since beggining of my blossom...... even too young to bring it out here in france with me, never been shocked to don't get a missing fulltime bassist for the band, but, damn, I feel how this Steve was feeling and be a Melvins DNA since always, don't quit RedKross but be a melvins forever, Buzz&Dale are great are always but your bass bring the missing noise!

Music gods - listen - glad I found this needed the insperation , thats what they do they inspire, check thee history.

Good tune

This is for Cows.

SCREAM!!!! TRAPPED IN A MELVIN DREAM 🤘🤘

Cool setlist. Is the full set on youtube anywhere?

damn!

Just had the honor of meeting King Buzzo after their show in Dallas this past week. Incredibly nice guy.

Does anyone knows the brand & model of that guitar?

Masters. Forever!!!!!!!!!!

i think that guitar might have an aluminum neck

I have both a Beta lead and a Marshall 2204 and I'd pick the 2204 any day. Beta lead is still cool but not as cool as 2204.

Why does this sound like a certain rob zombie song???

best melvins song ever amk very underrated, like this video lan

Went to the same show in SLC, fucking glorious.

Fuckin awesome band remember seein em at 8x10 in baltimore

That fucking intro was DoPe

the intro of this particular offering on RU-vid inspires me to look elsewhere for a live version of The Bit

does.... anyone knows why Buzz does not play live with his Custom Black Les paul like he used to? just miss those old days not the biggest fan of this modern Aluminum Guitars Not saying that they sound bad

So powerull so wild incredible

This is an audio onslaught

Me sorprendieron estos tipos.

Love this fucking song

That’s quite a bit...

Fuzz fuzzing tastic

bassist is on tranz HAHA

Ahh...dad rock :)

HOLY BASS

Great

Aluminum Buzz0

That snare

0:33

Buzz's tone took massive hit when he went with these aluminum guitars.

I dont like this bass player style so much

Oh Steve, quit screwing up the infamous intro.

Saul really took a weird turn after Breaking Bad ended huh?

another melvins bass plyer rippin it up n shht

I love the Melvins but they aren't the best live band in my opinion. Performance and sound is not that great

Bass is so out of tune👎
