[Leviticusaurus747]

I swear that I gain twenty pounds when I listen to this...

[stewd0g]

This song is heavier then jupiter sized planet built of lead bricks...

[grahamlaur]

They are very slightly channeling MC5's "I want you right now" in this song.

[MarioThrasherTroops]

Since i read it, i listen to this song while taking a shit

[ViceCityDJ]

@MarioThrasherTroops haha I hope the song was over by the time you were finished.

[TheJulieBloom]

boris call the police

[DJINEVIL2323]

Fucking amazing



[genreslur]

Now these are some muddy waters. Good swimmin' hole.

[betinho1126]

it's like sin

[TheChristChris]

It's not loud enough.

[babyISextrem]

LOVE !!!SO LOVE THIS ONE !!!

[PairInstabilityType]

It's like the soundtrack to a tyrannosaurus rex getting blazed with Jus Osborn and stay puft marshmallow man... wait.. am i still typing?

[Cygnus2112YYZ]

Prog Grunge ... XD

[Lizzzeg]

@Cygnus2112YYZ funny story, these guys single-handedly created sludge metal and are the reason grunge music exists

not being cynical, just spreading awareness

[NirvanaNerd364]

i hear this from Sugar Daddy both versions are amazing

[redl3ss]

Just figured out I hadn't been listening carefully to the Melvins. They rule.

[snakeweirdo]

Call it what you want, it doesn't change the fact that I enjoy listening to it.

[TheodoreChell]

The melvins rock.

they don't sludge metal or metal or stoner or hard-rock.

It either is rock or pussy.

&

The melvins rock!!!

[is00ez]

@TheodoreChell so Mozart pussied?

[KCspur92]

This song is one fat cat... literally!

[grimgolf79]

what the heck, that isn´t about nirvana that´s THE MELVINS!

the whole chat is about nirvana, i don´t understand that, well i do because fucking kurt cobain shot himself and was handsome but take alook of the music that the melvins made... i think this shows no respect to the matter, to the video, to the music.

i like nirvana but this is not the place to discuss that . go to a nirvana song-channel.

[67guzzler]

@grimgolf79 You are damn right!! There would have been no Nirvana without the Melvins.

Most of those epigones are dead n gone...the Melvins are still there ...and they still leave smoking rubbles!!!!

Goddamnit!!!!

[MedinasGuitar]

Seriously,the Melvins are a very underated band.So undegroundish...yet they inspired famous bands,like Nirvana and Tool.

[LukewarmKoolaid]

15 people deserve to be fucked in the mouth...

[bubbamittens]

@LukewarmKoolaid 15 people deserve to be raped because they have a different musical taste than you. You're so edgy!

[LukewarmKoolaid]

@bubbamittens It's called an exaggeration for the sake of humor, now get your snooty head out of your ass

[bubbamittens]

@LukewarmKoolaid No, it's not. It's called you trying to fit in by making rape jokes. Now get your snooty head out of your ass.

[LukewarmKoolaid]

@bubbamittens Oh because I crave the approval of everyone on YouTube...

[bubbamittens]

@LukewarmKoolaid You obviously care what others think.

[LukewarmKoolaid]

@bubbamittens Yes of people that I am familiar with and respect. I'll tell you one thing, I don't give a fuck what you think

[1dotonly]

check out the japanese band Boris, they are awesome. and they took this song as their namesake

[bloodybloodshed]

@1dotonly I actually found this band through Boris :P

[rebreh1029]

The Melvins practically created Tool with this song. I am not kidding, Adam Jones said this was one of his favorite songs but was deeply dissapointed when Buzz told him it was about his cat

[ChristmasFace]

@rebreh1029 What?! That make the song EVEN BETTER! One of the heaviest songs ever...and it's about a cat! GENIUS!

[Tralfamador5]

the beatles were the grungiest band of all grunge bands.

[grimgolf79]

@Tralfamador5

that´s nonense...even nirvana were not a REAL grunge band. although they wanted to be famous ans assimilated with songs like on bleach, they were a punk,grunge,folk,pop..

but the beatles... well you can fool yourself if you want to

[Peitzsucks]

6:18 so evil

[perrottafamily1]

My bowels got crushed listening to this.

[mikeurruler]

"I say I cant, but I really mean I wont."

[Steaktacular]

I gained 27 lbs listening to this song.

[thismakesmeveryangry]

None Heavier

[perrottafamily1]

And thus, Stoner Metal was born...

[AR15Justice]

Jesus Christ these guys kick ass... This is the first time listening to them. Thanks to Mastodon covering The Bit I know of this band now!

[ToBy4579]

@AR15Justice Damn right he Melvins kickass ! :P

[OMNINIGKILL]

I luv that guitar tone.Who ordrered this?

[AntiJonasZone]

So this is the song the best band alive named themselves after?

Awesome!

[uiruu]

@AntiJonasZone Yup. This is the song that started it all.

[guysapire]

@AntiJonasZone Hell no, you got it all wrong. Melvins are still alive.

[texasB666]

I understand now why lots of people like Nirvana and i don't. I love the fact he was rejected by the Melvins. He was way to soft to deal with this heavyness.

[uiruu]

@texasB666 Rejected by the melvins? Since when? Dale Crover, the Melvins' drummer, actually played on one of Nirvana's albums. Dale and Buzz (the singer/guitarist) were old high school buddies of Kurt Cobain. Nirvana and Melvins were always very close.

[ToBy4579]

@texasB666 Kut cobain plays guitar on Sky Pup so I think Cobain was worth their heaviness

Listen to Negative Creep, Territorial Pissings and Tourrettes.

Then say that Kurt was soft

[mikk231]

@ToBy4579 dont forget about scentless apprentice

[ToBy4579]

@mikk231 Oh yeah forgot about that one :P

[mkrabc]

@mikk231 or aero zeppelin

[makssuelmiranda]

@ToBy4579 The only soft band from Seattle is Pearl Jam. Take a listen to Nirvana's Oh, the Guilt. That's pure metal man!

[ToBy4579]

@makssuelmiranda Oh the guilt is more heavy grunge but its a badass song :D

[makssuelmiranda]

@ToBy4579 Dude, the "grunge" genre never existed. It was just the name of the movement from Seattle bands given by the media. It doesn't make sense calling Nirvana "heavy grunge". Without a doubt Nirvana was a garage rock/punk rock band and oh the guilt is metal just like negative creep or papercuts (the guitar sounds like Black Sabbath's). For example, Thrash metal bands sounds similar, but the term grunge is a stupid label cause Alice in Chains is WAY heavier than Pearl Jam or Screaming Trees.

[ToBy4579]

@makssuelmiranda :( But i like grunge

[makssuelmiranda]

@ToBy4579 You cannot like what doesn't exist. You like rock just like me. Kurt hated the grunge stereotype. So do I. But of course you are free to think whatever you want.

[ToBy4579]

@makssuelmiranda why is everything about kurt?

[snakeweirdo]

@ToBy4579 I get annoyed by that too. Fine, Nirvana is the most well-known band in that genre, but fuck that, they are not the only one.

[ToBy4579]

@snakeweirdo I love nirvana and that my favouite band since I was 5

Yeah but still you got mudhoney gruntruck and all that, why leave them out?

[grimgolf79]

@makssuelmiranda you took the words out of my mouth..

that´s exactly right.a comparision between ... let´s take nirvana, pearl jam , melvins, soundgarden and mudhoney, just to take the most popular "grunge" bands, or the posies, they were all declared as grunge but play different music. the only fact they have in common is that they were from seattle, played rock with a lot of guitar. and a bit slow-mo and a bit lo-fi. GRUNGE is more an attitude and a label-creation than a music style.

[grimgolf79]

@makssuelmiranda

well i wouldn´t say metal, "oh, the guilt" is not metal. it´s bad ass for sure, but quite poppy, like most nirvana songs. metal is not alway heavier but a different genre. i would say megadeth or slayer are metal but not nirvana

[makssuelmiranda]

@grimgolf79 Oh the Guilt, Milk It, Scentless Apprencice, Papercuts for example, are heavier than any song by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin or many glam bands which are bands labeled as "Metal". and since when Oh the Guilty is poppy? Poppy is Jeremy by PJ. Remember Metallica when they turned "poppy" in 91? Did they ceased playing metal? NO! Will you deny that Nirvana had many heavy songs unlike PJ? Kurt's guitar sounded a lot like Black Sabbath's one and many would agree that Black Sabbath is Metal.

[grimgolf79]

@makssuelmiranda

i didn´t say that metallica makes metal music nowadays, well, i just wanted to mention that you don´t have to mix something up. nirvana were never a "metal"-band, and they never played "metal". that nirvana has heavy songs... no doubt. but they had very poppy melodies, and i never meant it negativly. i love them just for that and surely for other reasons too. pearl jam were poppy, but crap. but don´t tell me the nevermind or the in utero album is metal. that´s bullshit.

[grimgolf79]

@makssuelmiranda

and it´s also wrong that kurt´s guitar sounds like tony immis sound. that bullshit too. sry, but that shows that you have no idea about these bands, they played different guitars and amps and sound as different as it could be. they definitly were influenced by sabbath but more in songwriting and melody. maybe bleach sounds a bit like sabbath. but i never heard a flanger in a sabbath song and it´s in nearly every nirvana song. first think then talk..

[Rechiau]

@grimgolf79 This wasn't the end of the birth, oh no. With the debut album of Van Halen came the cleaner more refined sound that inspired many to come. With the infamous shredding solos of Eddie came the Glam Metal scene. With Kiss, Autograph, Mötley Crüe, Poison and Twisted Sister. They all bought their campness into the scene, but the basis of power chords mixed with shredding guitar stayed.

[Rechiau]

As it came to the late 80s, these lo-fi and camp bands were still rocking out the radios. With their influence, and the influence of their hard rock forefathers. Came most of the modern metal genres we all know today. Most of which came out during the late 80s and early 90s as people gave up on the 80s Glam Metal. Thrash metal, death metal, black metal, power metal, black metal doom metal, gothic metal, progressive metal, alternative metal. Every damn metal. And all from a bit of 60s blues rock

[grimgolf79]

@makssuelmiranda

by the way.... led zeppelin, ac/dc were no metal bands either.. ;) they are not and were not and will never be..

they are hardrock bands and mor blues, you have really no idea of what you are talking about

[makssuelmiranda]

@grimgolf79 What's up again dude, it's nice to talk to u. By the way I never said Nirvana was a metal band. I said Nirvana has SOME Metal songs like Scentless Apprentice, oh the guilty and Papercuts. And i'm not lying when I say that many people recognize Led Zeppelin and AC/DC as (early) heavy metal bands. By the way you didn't speak about the glam/hair metal shit which many agree that is metal in fact and I think that Nirvana is heavier than they (Bon Jovi, Poison, Kiss), you know.

[snakeweirdo]

@makssuelmiranda AC/DC doesn't belong in the same sentence as Led Zeppelin. I am sorry, but they really don't.

[snakeweirdo]

@makssuelmiranda And I've never ever heard characterize Led Zeppelin as heavy metal. They inspired heavy metal, but in no way were they heavy metal.

[grimgolf79]

@makssuelmiranda

hehe hi again :)

i don´t want to be the mr. knowitall, and you´re right that scentless apprentice is heavier than bon jovi. ( i hate them) and i would compromise that papercuts, negative creep and downer have some real metal influences.

but let´s keep it down. metal does not always have to be heavy, it has do different forms and punk can be heavier than heavy metal. and glam rock is also no heavy metal. well don´t struggle, i just wanted to make something clear. cucu

[Rechiau]

@grimgolf79 You do know that metal basically came out of heavy blues rock? Bands like the Yardbirds and Rolling Stones mixed lots of blues scales, techniques and sounds into the rock and roll style of the time. Then psychedelic bands like Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream ramped up the distortion and volume. Then bands started taking out the psychedelia and keeping the heavy sound. Before you know it Black Sabbath and Deep Purple refined this heavy sound into proto-metal, the hard-rock sound.

[Rechiau]

This was then further developed by Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, UFO, and many other hard-rock acts. This was really the birth of the heavy-metal sound. While there songs definitely aren't metal as we know it today, they gave birth to it with many of their songs having that heavy metal sound. As the punk scene came in, we saw a mix between this punk and hard rock sounds which developed the many famous metal characteristics of speed. Bands like Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Saxon and Def Leppard came.

[Rechiau]

By now we have the raw heavy metal sound, and this is where heavy metal basically started. Loads of new bands started coming out like Judas Priest, Venom, Diamond Head, Blitzkrieg, Avenger, Sweet Savage, Girlschool, Jaguar and Demon blasted the airwaves. The next important aspect was the birth of Van Halen, came out with the more clean sounding, but totally shredding guitar in the late 70s. This influenced the development of Glam Metal and their infamous shredding solos.

[grimgolf79]

@makssuelmiranda

hi

you´re right! but i wouldn´t call scentless apprentice metal, but it´s childish to discuss about that.

the main thing is that we like the song and it is a good song!! :)

greetings and í never meant it bad, i just wanted to express my opinion.

there are songs on bleych that could be written by a metal band and grunge is definitly inspired by metal, but i see nirvana more as a punk band, but well that´s opinion

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Epic Heaviness! This is what The Melvins are supposed to sound like. Unfortunately, the audio is kinda weak on this upload.

[MarsCoban]

@HumanitarianAryan Swans

@uiruu Swans

[HumanitarianAryan]

Thanks for everything Buzz and Dale. The best band in rock music since 1983. Name ONE still kicking this much ass for the last 28+ years??? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[Andragon90]

Brain turns to mush by 0:20

[Proof24s]

@MrSecondhorseman nope, les claypool is

[bj9795]

This is my first time listening to this band... i wouldn't have guessed they sounded like this based on the album cover...

[sebastianflemingdude]

So heavy!!

[TheJaded1039]

I say I can't, but I really mean I won't.

[StygianNight]

I just crapped my pants while listening to this song, lol.

[Swarmbat]

dude, why do the melvins videos always have the longest comments about obscure music. is this what melvins fans consist of? music history nazis? cool!

[uiruu]

@Swarmbat Yeah, I'm not sure why we were discussing Primus and Mr Bungle either. The point is, this is the most fucking heavy song ever!

[AnonymousThe1337]

damn this song is so fucking heavy its like a bomb to my mind

[MrUlung1]

this band sucks

[Hobbit85BB]

@MrUlung1 That's why they're so awesome.

[uiruu]

@MrUlung1 No, you're thinking of Primus. Primus sucks. But the Melvins do not.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@uiruu primus is shit. dont talk about those fags here

[uiruu]

@yovioleatuzorramadre Hah! Someone knows nothing about music, I see. Les Claypool, undeniably, is the best living bassist. He writes good songs. But more than that, you called them fags. How unintelligent is that? Really?

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@uiruu no you fucking idiot, you dont know shit about music and less about ART. les claypool is a douche, he writes SHIT songs.

Best living bassist of our times (and also WAY more better songwriters) = Scott Reeder/Trevor Dunn.

get your facts straight before acting like you know something.

[uiruu]

@yovioleatuzorramadre Writes shit songs!? Listen to Wynona's Big Brown Beaver and TELL ME you aren't blown away. And yeah, Trevor Dunn is a hero of mine, but he comes in second to Claypool any day. And yeah, I know a thing or two about art. I'm an aspiring artist, so if I didn't know anything about art, I'd be in a real pickle, wouldn't I? And just because Primus is silly doesn't mean they are any less talented. Les isn't as artsy as Dunn, but I respect each equally.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@uiruu Claypool falied as a musician long time ago, he became monotonous and boring. he is a extreme talented bass player but one TERRIBLE BAD song writter."Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant" is probably one of the most greatest jazz projects of all time, and trevor already made a legasy himself, as a musician. We can take both bass players in a extreme random free improv with other musicians and trevor will win any day of the week, claypool will probably make slape and some obviously shit like that

[uiruu]

@yovioleatuzorramadre Well, somebody needs to listen to more Primus! Seriously, if you listen to Primus you will understand what I mean when I say that they suck. And Trevor Dunn is just as good a songwriter. I don't believe he is as skilled but his songs are just as technical and awesome. Mr Bungle and Primus go hand in hand. With their similar attitudes to music and playing ability, you can't prefer one over the other. I can appreciate Dunn and Claypool, just like I can the Melvins.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@uiruu Invalid arguments.

You speak like I dont know what primus is all about. I used to like them when I was like 13 (along with Bungle, but I still like Bungle) they are a shitty band, is that plain and simple. did you say "Trevor Dunn is just as good"?.... man, thats probably the most retarded line that you ever put on a youtube page. Claypool is FAR from being a HALF as good songwriter/musician/bass player than Mr.Trevor fucking Dunn is.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@uiruu There is only one Bungle song called "Carry Stress in the Jaw" by Trevor Dunn (he did that whole song alone!) that takes a dump over Primus discography any day of the week.

and who cares about being technical anyway? real musicians dont give a fuck about it. is all about the music.

[uiruu]

@yovioleatuzorramadre ...Yeah...

I think we've reached a stalemate. I have nothing better to say, and it looks like you don't either.

[Proof24s]

@yovioleatuzorramadre actually Les Claypool is the best living bassist!

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@Proof24s not at all

[MrSecondhorseman]

@Proof24s ACTUALLY, Marcus miller and Victor Wooten are the best bassists alive

[musiclover01ization]

@yovioleatuzorramadre You have no respect for other musicians do you? Do you honestly think your opinions mean anything?

[DruumStixx]

@MrUlung1 The Melvins are legit

[musiclover01ization]

@MrUlung1 Then why are you here? Go listen to what you like.

[rockypc24]

oh the days of helping them load all there stuff if it werent for this band right here i wouldnt be who i am today

[djbarcode5xyz]

IT'S OFFICIAL! This is my "waking up in the morning" theme song. VERY heavy, VERRY slow, and VERRRY long!

[nigrobat]

@djbarcode5xyz in that case make my waking up some Jerusalem

[ironmetallivana]

my god, ive found it, the perfect band with absolutely no justin beiber bullshit spread across it.. i love the melvins

[Kitschead]

@ironmetallivana So this is the only band without trace elements of Justin Beiber? I didn't realise he was so influential.

[dommer117]

i saw a comment that i just need to get around: "This is the music they built Stonehenge to"-perfect visual description of Boris

[MetalGearMc]

this shit is the fucking bomb!

\m/\>.</\m/

[WellDoneQtip]

I love the melvins. they keep grunge/ sludge metal alive. GO BUZZ!

[THEserieseblastOFF]

i like it



[germbomb79]

gotta love the melvins,,,had some for breakfast this morning

[Rocktopus]

Had this on vinyl, lent it to someone and never got it back.... bad, very shittingly bad.

[ds3kah]

@Rocktopus Fuck that noise, dude. It's ass kicking time. 

[djbarcode5xyz]

@Rocktopus If I was loaned this, I would not give it back either!!

[Sanisaninja]

heavy as fuck.

no wonder Boris named themselves after it.

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

I just took a massive shit to this song!

[MagneticTapeWorm]

@CHICKMAGNET66666 That must have been rough lol

[PeachTristan]

They gots a slow groove goin good

[Rankmoistmeat]

The album cover's really super.

[hinni4]

Man I need to listen to these guys more.

[ImagoBandBerlin]

Hi if you like some progressive rock please check our profile there you can see our new video. Best wishes,

IMAGO

[dartisone]

Before Nirvana, Cobain had auditioned to be in the Melvins, but was rejected.

[FloydTheBarbara]

@dartisone so he became their roadie lol

[thegreatdestroyer22]

@dartisone Because Cobain sucks.

[TonkyTube]

@thegreatdestroyer22 What ? O_O

[Kristina1396]

@TonkyTube He's average at all the instruments, but he writes good songs..

[thegreatdestroyer22]

@TonkyTube Horrible vocalist.

[gabewt9]

@thegreatdestroyer22

[1995bimetalhead]

If I had kids I'd beat them while listening to this cd.

[blueguitarist]

i love how you actually have to play that riff for 8 minutes to complete it.

[GollyWogCum181]

@andywarstarforever Well you obviously do care otherwise you wouldn't have actively gone and prevented people from expressing their opinions about it.

[Alexklfc2010]

BORIS!

[ThisSaturatedMind]

The weight of this song= 14.5 tons

[Kylev2]

@ThisSaturatedMind

They built the Stonehendge to this.

[ObeseChess]

@Kylev2 This song IS stonehenge.

[MooserzzzVinyls]

@ThisSaturatedMind and thats only the first 7 seconds

[pivot1022]

@andywarstarforever who the fuck is andy warstar?

[SECtennesseeSEC]

the MIGHTY BORIS likes to kick chit around, ha ha!!! MELVINS BABY!

[HammarHeart]

does anyone know what equipment buzzo and preston were using for this album? i know buzz usually uses a les paul, but beyond that, i'm stumped. anyone?

[Nikosvoider]

@HammarHeart Buzzo has been using a Sunn beta lead.

[mithras94]

this is oldschool!

[OllieTheBum8182]

try getting this shit to stay in tune with 10s.... not happening

[Grumblmuck]

hey this is very awesome and experimental music

just like neurosis

but melvins dont want to make me kill my self

[SECtennesseeSEC]

@Grumblmuck Neurosis is amazing. I don't really understand how they make you want to "kill Yourself"? Neurosis's music is very honest and humble. At times they are chaotic and heavy but also beautiful and enduring.

[Grakkis]

@SECtennesseeSEC i think he meant that neurosis sounds really depressing and evil, which they do, and that the melvins don't.

[satan6rapes6god6]

@Grakkis It sounds evil and chilling, but not depressing

[Grakkis]

@satan6rapes6god6 i agree, but ymmv i guess.

[rediffs]

is destiny that his last name is osbourne

[twelvescofflenard]

If you like melvins try checking out a song called "Atomic Christ" by a new band called "Lite Brite"

[KillerWhaleSFl]

saw these guys with Tool. Dual drum solo with Danny Carey. woahhhh

[VendPrekmurec]
