Gene Simmons (from KISS) played bass with The Melvins at a couple of Lollapalooza shows in 93 or 94. Gene Simmons also played bass at a Primus/ Melvins show in L.A. At the Palladium in '93 . It was only for one song ("Going Blind"). Mark D played guitar on that song. Gene and Buzz and Dale all sang.
I grew up listening to Kiss as it was my dad's favourite band and he went to see them in the 80's sometime when they came to australia and all I can say is this version fucking rocks and why can't peeps see it as them paying tribute to obviously someone they idolise
bels walt I was 5 years old living in Australia 🇦🇺 when kiss first toured here in 1980 I had the inner sanctum tour that was televised on channel 10 way back then for years & years still greatest kiss live show I have ever seen
rock bands almost never do covers from bands formed later than the original's band. know what I mean? kiss influenced the melvins' generation (especially king buzzo), and the melvins inspired gen X which is why like every rock band formed between 1988 and 1998 has either cited the melvins as an influence or done a melvins cover.
One day I was just walking down the street and then I heard this song and my mind began to blossom like a flower and I learned that because of the intense brilliance of reality that I am truly a Knight in Satan's Service. #blessed #iblis
J'aime Kiss et des Melvins (pas pour les mêmes raisons) ; cette reprise est chouette, mais très fidèle à l'original ; leur "God of thunder" par contre est super dingue, un genre de chanson de Kiss mais archi-Mevinisé !
Maybe not KISS, but I definately see some great bands covering/tributing Melvins songs in the future. Hell Johnny Cash covered NIN Hurt before he died, and some have said that the cover is "better" than the original.
Kiss covered Argent, The Rolling Stones, Dave Clark, The Ramones, Bonnie Tyler, ect. A lot of great bands have done covers. Hell, the Beatles did 64 cover songs in their career. Yeah, anyone can cover somebody else's song, but not everyone can do a cover this great.
the melvins - detroit rock city 12.10.23 0956am the opening salvo brought to mind mouthbreather by jesus lizard. now if yer like yer glam and yer like yer proto sludge and yer like generic rock and a decent work rate then i think the melvins is for you. i saw it at boardwalk many years ago and steel pole bathtub came along for the ride as did duh! those smug squaddies are crowing about thieving from my pad eg: the DUH! album... pretty shitty of them but allegedly that's real life..
Kiss is ok, the Melvins are epi, the Melvins have put out more original material than just about any band ever, and they can cover just about anyone, Kiss has a few token songs, and a good movie.
if you do a little poking around online, there's a tribute album out there full of melvins covers by bands like dillinger escape plan, strapping young lad, mastodon and CKY. some of the covers are even pretty cool
Hmm.. im a huge kiss fan, and ive gotta admit that most of their catalogue wud seem boring and generic to non-fans. But then i think the same of bands like ac/dc and led zep Yet all 3 of those bands have some tunes that i think are very special. One thing for sure: many, many VERY cool bands have chosen to cover kiss songs. There must be a reason...
Diche Bach have you heard KISS' version? Or are you just one of those hipster pricks? Cuz this is pretty much note for note...so I don't know how you think this is " Better "...
no matter who you think PNWNED who, the Melvins decided to cover a song originally wrote and made famous by KISS instead of writing a song for themselves(any monkey can copy another monkeys stuff,so what?),Nothing against the Melvins, i just dont see any member of KISS at any point going out of their way to play a Melvins tune unless it was the Melvins covering one of KISS's songs. and to be honest this version really isnt that great,lol!
The Melvins give the best cover of anybody, ever. Just amazing.
Doesn't even make top 3. Band geeks and mighty mighty bosstones covers are both frets better
This blows everything out of the fucking water and keeps it the fuck out... Buzzo, you've done it again.
holy fuck on earth I can't believe I've never heard this....goddamn amazing!

I added this to my favorites!! This version sounds spectacular!!
First time I've ever heard this, made my day!
Fuckin' rock... one the most rock n'roll band ever!
As usual they absolutely slay a cover, awesome
I don´t know what is the surprise , during the Atlantic years on the "Houdini" album there´s a killer version of "Going Blind"
Delhi Delirium Oh yeah, that is fuckin sick.
Awesome version !!!!
Thanx a million for posting this!
I've never heard this before. Holy shit, it's ace.
UNDER 6000 plays so far,,, This is something everyone should hear.
Notable, suena más original que el original. Grande Melvins.
surprisingly straight forward for a Melvins cover.
cthulhugamete Take a listen to their cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
These dudes killed it🤘🏻😁👉🏻 Rock City
Guuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaau, soy un fan incondicional de los Kiss y esta version de The Melvins es buenisima!!
Good rocker-killer bass line. Thx...
was für eine geile cover-version - i had no idea !!!!
smoke alarms going off HIT THE BOWL go MELVIIIINS

crcromwell Dave Grohl wore a Melvins t-shirt when Nirvana appeared on Saturday Night Live.
Sounds great!!!
And Gene played bass for them on a few shows
there has gotta be footage of that shit! time to search..
zargmatt only one show, they played goin' blind.
That was awwweeeeesome! And kiss rules.
Excellent. Always loved the Melvins .
Crazy midrange on Buzzo's tone.
One day I was just walking down the street and then I heard this song and my mind began to blossom like a flower and I learned that because of the intense brilliance of reality that I am truly a Knight in Satan's Service. #blessed #iblis
Amazing
4 people didn't want to get up
The Melvins.are.a.better kiss tribute band tban KI$$!!
This is beyond cool
THIS IS COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Melvins❤️
This sounds waay better than kiss to Me....
I'm part of the Melvins army!
J'aime Kiss et des Melvins (pas pour les mêmes raisons) ; cette reprise est chouette, mais très fidèle à l'original ; leur "God of thunder" par contre est super dingue, un genre de chanson de Kiss mais archi-Mevinisé !
Gene simmons was fascinated by the melvins 🙃🫠
as part of america getting its nuts back again, the Melvins will play the halftime show at the 2021 Super Bowl
MELVINS RULE 🤘🤘🤘You Do Not!!
Is it just my imagination, or can anyone else hear pyrotechnics exploding every time Buzz yells "get up/get down!" ?
It's you. I have never seen the Melvins with pyrotechnics, that is only with the real Kiss.
I can hear it in my head.
It’s Dale !!
I'm pretty sure they cover 'Goin Blind' too
Maybe not KISS, but I definately see some great bands covering/tributing Melvins songs in the future. Hell Johnny Cash covered NIN Hurt before he died, and some have said that the cover is "better" than the original.
For example, Trent Reznor.
Daaaammnnn
its weird. you think youve found all the melvin songs. you have the albums. and theres still more. everyday. and not just one more. billions more.
"I love the Melvins"
Kiss covered Argent, The Rolling Stones, Dave Clark, The Ramones, Bonnie Tyler, ect. A lot of great bands have done covers. Hell, the Beatles did 64 cover songs in their career. Yeah, anyone can cover somebody else's song, but not everyone can do a cover this great.
Buzzo sure hits the high notes with confidence and style. I barely recognize his voice here.
the melvins - detroit rock city 12.10.23 0956am the opening salvo brought to mind mouthbreather by jesus lizard. now if yer like yer glam and yer like yer proto sludge and yer like generic rock and a decent work rate then i think the melvins is for you. i saw it at boardwalk many years ago and steel pole bathtub came along for the ride as did duh! those smug squaddies are crowing about thieving from my pad eg: the DUH! album... pretty shitty of them but allegedly that's real life..
there are comments from 13 years ago and 1 year ago.....doesn't that really say it all
Does anyone know where to get a decent audio quality version of this on the interwebs? This NEEDS to be on my work playlist
Bad ass!!!
maestros, 5 am chile sin poder dormir..
sounds like the band.
badasss.
For a second there, i though i was listening to a killer Kiss version.
What means KISS backwards.....SSIK!!!! exactly ssick. Great movie.
Cool as fuck👍👍🤗🤗😀😀😁😃
se eschucha rebien!!
ANA DEL MAL MASOTA!
Hahhaha, how unlucky, I can see Buzz laughing his ass off while dedicating this to Chris .
fucking badass!
Kiss is ok, the Melvins are epi, the Melvins have put out more original material than just about any band ever, and they can cover just about anyone, Kiss has a few token songs, and a good movie.
Just hit the THc
2 Drummers?

Helmet covers Oven
What a fuckin' bass line! O.o
the ep it's from was released in 2008 so probably jared warren
@faststick2021 dont forget the KISS army :) most loyal fans on earth
"fuck KISS"? funny how bands know their roots but the blinded tools of fans just dismiss it. both bands a good and this cover rocks. leave it at that.
@patfart hahaha yeah gotta love them melvins haha btw i love the name patfart
who is on bass?
@alfie0536 star spangled banner/detroit rock city single
Hmm.. im a huge kiss fan, and ive gotta admit that most of their catalogue wud seem boring and generic to non-fans. But then i think the same of bands like ac/dc and led zep
Yet all 3 of those bands have some tunes that i think are very special. One thing for sure: many, many VERY cool bands have chosen to cover kiss songs. There must be a reason...
Jonathan Skalos
It's all about influence. That's really it.
nah bro AC/DC high voltage album is mint mate
tbh kiss just sucks man led zep has a pretty good album or two aswell
if you say
Gene still trying to figure out how to sue somebody...anybody... for this ;)
@MrBrenman21 Also, Gene appreciates Melvins a lot. And has played together with them on one stage.
Ace probably wrote it FOR Gene!
DETROIT rock city BITCHES
No dislikes. Great! Watch someone ruin it lol
Only 8 so far which is very good for any video up this long.
So much better than KISS' rendition.
Diche Bach have you heard KISS' version? Or are you just one of those hipster pricks? Cuz this is pretty much note for note...so I don't know how you think this is " Better "...
Do you even know what rendition means? How can the original creators be doing a rendition of something?
Yeah, that's why, as fans, they did this cover. So douches like you can say it's better than the Original.
Best version around, too bad the quality is total shlt.
Well it is like a decade old video
i love foking VAN foking HALEN too
Ever heard the 1976 demo tape?
Better quif I mean kiss
cool story bro
@BoNursukker NO U
About twice as fast though.
kiss just got pwned
No!
no matter who you think PNWNED who, the Melvins decided to cover a song originally wrote and made famous by KISS instead of writing a song for themselves(any monkey can copy another monkeys stuff,so what?),Nothing against the Melvins, i just dont see any member of KISS at any point going out of their way to play a Melvins tune unless it was the Melvins covering one of KISS's songs. and to be honest this version really isnt that great,lol!
Jonnie Nye You're right, KISS can't be bothered to cover Melvins. Gene Simmons just joins them on stage.
You are silly.
boring and generic enough that the melvins have covered several of their songs
i smell major bullshit.
Smokey McBongwater You should probably leave your bedroom in that case.
Gene and Paul are not really musicians,more like Jewish accountant's, who will put their band name on "ANYTHING" to make $$$......
