The melvins are like that band that you love but always forget to mention when someone asks you what your favorite bands are. I cant ever figure out why that is.
After seeing them live , they are defintely one of my favorite bands. Watch the footage from Hellfest. Mind blowing. But I think I know what you mean in terms of their records. All their Ipecac recordings are hit or miss IMHO.
I went to Aberdeen highscool with Dale Crover . I always knew he was a musical prodigy. I also went to school with Krist from Nirvana and I definitely knew there was something special about him but I just couldn't put my finger on it. 😂🤟
Nothing can outdo the bass players Poltergeist II look.....andctge sketch artist cemented it......plus they're tight as hell.....and plus too. .....that rug really ties the room together. ....
I take it "goat" means best. I'm old (50) & back in the day "goat" was the opposite. Like if a NFL team only has to kick a field goal with 2 seconds left on the clock to win the game you can say "Well the kicker is gonna be either the hero or the goat. We'll find out here in a few seconds..." But goat was derogatory. You f'd up and everyone is mad and/or disappointed in you that you screwed up the entire thing, etc.
@@jackshittle I get it (I'm 51), but I also know that people could be typing it G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) so that it'd be clear that it's an acronym instead of it being used in the derogatory sense.
it's an amazing performance, the crowd is actually into it and it's a damn good song...it just goes to show they are a great band that doesn't get enough recognition
This band has been so damn good for so damn long!!! I can’t believe I’m already 50 years old! BUT, I still have the Melvins with Buzzo and Dale to keep me right in the head!
I came across these guys playing spoon man and thought they did it just as good if not better. I just heard this song tonight for the first time and I would say it is definitely some of the best rock and roll I have heard in my 57 years of living. Way bad ass. These guys get with the program. They play hard and sound awesome
Ive always thought the lyrics just needed deciphering. Ive come to the conclusion it is about a big booty black chick that seduced him stole his wallet and tie
I can't believe this freaky ass scene was an actual tv show. It definitely weird enough to just be a Melvin's video. Straight laced tv hosts, posers, burn outs, old man drawing, late night cook ware salesman all happening in grandma's living room. It was wonderful.
This video is a bit of a time capsule. A band from the future takes us back to 1995. The "audience" are paid employees being respectful, but obviously not quite ready to trust these travelers.
I miss the old public access channels. So much weird shit. I discovered Flipper on public access tv in San Francisco when I was like 15. Then a high school friend had a 30 minute show interviewing whatever thrash or hardcore band happened to be available, and there were plenty in late 80’s Bay Area. That lo-fi DIY ethic was pretty great.
Saw them open for Primus. I was a huge Primus guy, and had only vaguely heard of the Melvins. Walked out of the show just blown away by the Melvins and ended up seeing them every time they came to town.
This riff is inspiration for things like Lateralus..... Adam Jones (Tool) does credit Buzz Osborne as a silent hero in the before and after post 90's grunge/metal influences. Classic as fuck right here.
@@theninthheart8465 I think you're seriously underestimating how much Melvins influenced a LOT of incredibly popular bands. Tool toured with Melvins (and have recorded together as well), they were very much an influence.
@@theninthheart8465 Buzz also introduced (though didn't invent) Drop D to Mark Arm and Kim Thayill, who then introduced it to Jerry Cantrell. Also, Tool played on Melvins' The Crybaby. Bonus: Adam Jones and Buzz Osbourne had a side-project called 'Bleeder'. Pretty sure Terry Bozzio played drums on it.
Because some broadcasts such as this are 1: film, 2: sent over the airwaves, and 3: recorded to VHS, probably with a low quality recorder. Everything in the 70's was usually tape unless broadcasted, but you see less broadcasted footage from back then, also tape is much easier to digitize without any distortions assuming the tape was properly preserved. So it's not that 95 had worse technology, it was just that TV was common in that time, and TV broadcasts weren't meant for the best quality.
I’m just now getting into Melvins and this was the song that instantly hooked me. E verything about it is GREAT but it’s that rock-solid and infectious drum groove that just puts it over the top. ❤️
Same here ! First hearing December 2023, this song ! I'm in UK/England and have never heard nor seen them on TV or radio. Through the 1990's I photographed local indie bands, and I never heard anyone of my musician friends mention their name, or their records played at venues ! I've used the internet for 20 years and it's the first time they've come up as a suggestion. I'm happy to have found them, but I could have been listening and being influenced by them for the past 30 years !!@@davidsharp3456
Dale Knocking The Living Crap from his kit. Brilliant. Had the privilege of attending The ATP at Butlins all them years ago. Undoubtedly the best long weekend I've ever known.
@@Guppusmaximuscame here because of an article I read where these guys were an influence to the grunge bands. These guys could have easily been pushed to the front of that era/movement
Between the Amish bassist, the adults with disabilities audience, and the serial killer dude in the police hat, I feel like I've stumbled upon footage of an alternate dimension.
Tiny drum kit, but great sound as always! I love Dale‘s drumming and also himself as a human being. Very nice bass playing by Mark Deutrom, who I never met. And, uuh, of course: Buuuuzzzzzz! Sorry for my English, I‘m from Jupiter, were I met The Melvins first. Sorry, that I'm here still and again. Three years later. For the 8.6 millionth time. But I can't get enough of this nice footage.
I'm just beginning to scratch the surface on Melvins myself somehow, even though most everything I have heard up to now made me think I needed to do more of a deep dive on their catalog, but even with my limited exposure I've come across more than one warning about putting a "the" in front of their name. Apparently some people get more offended about that than if you had questioned their lineage. ;)
Stoner Witch is probably the most "accessible" Melvins' albums. It's very much a hard rock record. A lot of their other material can be challenging if you're not into sludgy experiment metal, but Stoner Witch is a great place to start.
Greatest and best social experiment known to man: Melvins in a room with a bunch of Caspar milk toast wanna bees that needed permission from their parents to see the show. Probably had a study group after the Melvins shifted gravity.
I saw these guy's open for Tool here in Aotearoa New Zealand back in the nineties and in my opinion they gave Tool a bloody nose a bit of an asskicking
@@robwalsh9843 thanks for sharing that with me I've always thought it was a strange mix having them open for tool and don't get me wrong Tool were spine tinglingly just that THE MELVINS were an ATOM BOMB to TOOL'S GRENADE on the night
This comes from a TV show called "Friday" or something I think, there is a longer clip out there... it's fully strange like on a daytime talk show..BUT this cranks the sound is clean and shows how powerful the Melvin's were/are when they just rip thru a pretty basic song structure. Great video
I would have enjoyed taking the place of any number of the bemused crowd to witness this live. Band plays their arse off and gets at best a golf course applause.
This is a great performance and The Melvins are awesome, the only thing that screws this up is the fact that None of these people in the audience seem to be fans of The Melvins lol
Was watching a recent interview with Buzz, and he turned me on to The Wipers, a punk rock band out of Portland Oregon, in the 80s. You can hear the heavy influence they had on the Seattle music of the 90s. They are a great band.

Gotta hold on tight 😂😂😂gotta let's goooo.this is great
This is much faster than the album version, but it makes it better. This song rocks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard.

Underrated BTTF reference. Noice!

They tore that room up.

@@mysterfrosty Yeah well that's just like your opinion man.
It's sort of unbelievable how hard this rocks.

Dale is one of the best drummers of all time. Don't care what anyone says, he is one of the goats.
Yes
I take it "goat" means best. I'm old (50) & back in the day "goat" was the opposite.

Can’t stop watching. The looks, the stage, the good music. It has everything, even a goddamn sketch artist!

@@dogpetdog well about 25% of them are into it, and the one that is into it the most is that hot black chick.
@@bradsully6620 Disagree. Most of them are into it. She's one of the hosts, she has to be into it.
No no no they suck wake up you lemming
Yeah that crowd is into it, and the band knows it. Great clip
Drove through a wisconsin snowstorm to see them in 91 long live the melvins!
Good on you; they're bad.
legend says the artist is still sketching the melvins
That cowboy gag is too much... GO MELVINS!! Not every band can nail a live performance as pure and authentic as this one. 🎸 💯
Dammit I never realized how good the Melvin’s were they rock heavy!
You whatttt
Melvins, not "the Melvin's."
Wow that Amish guy is really good at playing bass
It really is just too good didn't know they Amish! I love A mesh meals!!
doubt he's amish since he went electric!
I don't know what's better, the music or watching a bunch of dorks jam out to the Melvins in Martha Stewart's kitchen.
Kitchen with Lemmy by his own.!
This band has been so damn good for so damn long!!! I can’t believe I’m already 50 years old! BUT, I still have the Melvins with Buzzo and Dale to keep me right in the head!
And whoever the bassist is at that point.
50...pfft. Yer a mere puppy.
Dale is a beast on drums.
The moment you realize the melvins looks so normal and all the other people in the room looks creepy as fuck
Ahahaha, spot on.
Well done.....
That's just the way people used to look back then.
Best comment
Buzz oozes so much personality everyone else looks like a braindead zombie in comparison
That rug really ties the room together and is big enough to hold a post punk band.
Damn straight, even hetero you could say.

History of Bad men is something I definitely recommend
Rob Zombie: “I am the king of nonsense lyrics!”
Buzzo: “Hold my beer.”
Ive always thought the lyrics just needed deciphering. Ive come to the conclusion it is about a big booty black chick that seduced him stole his wallet and tie
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Poison dandelion burns cross...genius
I still think there’s some points where buzzo just isn’t speaking english at all😂😂 especially on their first album and bullhead
@@rocketsauce420 Hooch is for me basically just sounds. Its lyrics basically destroy any conceptual framework.

Dudes that's just a melvins moshpit
At 53 I still love watching this vid. They frackin tore that room up!

So many questions about this performance.
Yeah ...reading your comment I wonder the same... Its so weird, almost Lynchian 😁
I’ll start....Yeah nah, Its a little disconcerting seeing a heap of serial killers spiral out
@@carolinam.saavedram.7269 OMG, love this track but had the EXACT adjective in my head while watching this. Uber-Lynchian.
Looks like some public access show filmed at an urban commune run by an eclectic collective of radically inclusive anarchists. Just a theory tho...
Possible this was the show Breakfast Time
Bass player: Would you like to take a walk in the corn field?
Bass Player: why yes ma'am I can fix that ornery shoe on your horse and have you right on ya way
Uhh that’s mark freaking D
Dale Knocking The Living Crap from his kit. Brilliant.
Had the privilege of attending The ATP at Butlins all them years ago.
Undoubtedly the best long weekend I've ever known.
I think Dale is one of the goats, and I don't care what anyone else says, he is.
I recognize the look on the dudes face at 1:49, he is authentically impressed.
Then you have the guy in the police hat at 1:50 who thinks he's the coolest thing in the room.
Lmao my thoughts exactly. He’s the only one he looked to be seriously enjoying it.
Most under-rated band of all time. Nirvana and Pearl Jam got most of the credit out of those Washington grunge bands.
The Melvins were doing it long before Nirvana & Pearl Jam. Imho, Nirvana owes their existence to this band.

Hell Yeaaahh 🤘🏽
If you think this is wild, check out Crash Worship.... a project like that could only exist in the 90s
Yeah..... they were...
This is so...90s. thanks for uploading, love Melvins 🤘🏽
This era of the band was incredible, at that point in time they kicked it harder than any other
"Dio, Ted Nugent and ZZ Top are some of Melvins influences"
Almost spit my beer
Still jamming to this in 2021. This is 🔥 🔥.
Just saw the Melvins at the Ryman in Nashville 3/19/22 and they still kick all the ass.
Melvins *
Have been making beautiful music
I love that lol
greatest band on earth!
Had no idea the Melvins rocked this hard
The whole stoner witch album has this vibe it’s amazing

this is the bases from so much grew and could still grow
the sketch artist is fuckin gold!
This is the most public access clip that ever was public access. Love the random sketch artist.
I never knew there made it on MTV. Going to see them in Turin tomorrow night on their 40th anniversary tour! I hope they play this!
Mark was great! I identify Melvins by the Era of bassist. This was a good one
Mark Deutrom!
So these are the "melvins" I can dig it man.
Stoner Witch is my favourite Melvins release
They rocked so hard on this show I’ve got to see these guys live !!
You really do. You almost can’t understand how good they are until you actually see them live. The energy they bring is undeniable
I seen em when they toured with Tool on the aenima tour in 1997 and they rocked harder than tool...buzzo was a fuckn machine.
They could play in my grandparents trailer and still be awesomeness
So fucking tight...playing with small amps and small drum set, but sounding so huge. Love the melvins.
Fuck it, I'm buying tickets. They're touring, and I forgot how much I fucking love this band. Fuck yesh
One of the best parts is when Dale is singing/chanting and the audience doesn't know where the voice is coming from.
Great Performance 💪💪
Welp. That was incredible.
0:41. The kings eyes roll back in his head when he headbangs.
The 90's, beautiful
Saw them play this in 2015 with 2 drummers. Still remember losing my mind
I’m so sorry it took me so long to stop and listen. Such an amazing band. Thank you for sharing. Cheers
So good heavy as fuck I don’t understand why more people aren’t into the Melvins they are basically late 80’s-90’s Black Sabbath
They have a very devoted fanbase.
This absolutely slays 🔥
This is my favorite Melvin's song
Original!
I saw this tour in Atlanta! MELVINS Always Bring Down the House!!!
Maybe the best live show in the whole youtube
I saw these guy's open for Tool here in Aotearoa New Zealand back in the nineties and in my opinion they gave Tool a bloody nose a bit of an asskicking
Tool would probably agree with you. They're friends with the Melvins and are heavily influenced by them.

The Melvins kick ass but they run through more bass players than Spinal Tap runs through drummers. 🤘💀🤘
True, I wonder why...buzz gets gets in their ears and drives them nuts 🤔
Not really. Literally every band that has been together for more than 5 years runs through members. They’re no different
Damn heroin.
@@theninthheart8465 tell that to ZZ Top.
