to classify them by what they sound like is a waste of time, man. They´re grunge cause they were part of the grunge scene. Its like comparing Clash to Sex Pistols or Talking Heads to Ramones, in both cases the bands are almost antagonic, but theyre in the same scene.
They were a part of the grunge scene in as much as they influenced bands who were later called "grunge." They were never really a part of any scene, they stood on their own, changed their sound and adapted while their counterparts fizzled out. In the same vein, I wouldn't call Pearl Jam grunge.
Rob Zombie/White Zombie sound like Melvins, as many other bands from the 90's did. If you want to hear another band that inspired Zombie check out Ministry.
who gives a shit what it is? Just crank it up and enjoy.. I have no idea why everyone is so fucking fascinated with trying to fit everything into a label or genre
thanks dude, i've always wanted to get a melvins album, but i haven't known where to start, i know i want to get the ones with adam jones from tool, but i just love this song so much. i need to have it.
the Melvins sounds like a country music group. thats only til you listen, and not judging them by their dorkish sounding name everybody says they rock.
That's the point. Most lyrics really don't mean anything. Stairway, Purple Haze, Teen Spirt... The power of the song transcended the lyrics to the point that the lyrics were pointless. Just a bunch on phonics that sound great together.
Yeah I had a feeling that's what made it great, not the actual meaning of the lyrics themselves, how they fit with the power of the song. Cobain a Melvins groupie? Yes he certainly was a big fan, still struggling to understand why :(
I've been a longtime hardcore Melvins fan for near 20 years now-seen 'em live many a time (almost every year-missed one tour)and they are GREAT!Here in our little state of Washington these guys are GODS!Whenever they come around Seattle way you grab your tickets Fast or they're gone!One of the most original heavy bands out there and influential beyond all Hell,yet never got that 'top 10' radio play because Rock radio is pussy and dead-
The Melvins are far too underated, people give Nirvana to much credit for the seatle scene. No disrespect to Nirvana I love them but I dont think they should overshadow the other great seatle bands like Alice in chains, The melvins and mudhoney.
how come most slugde metal doesnt sound like this anymore?

If you think any Melvins songs outside of a select few can be classified as grunge you're kidding yourself.
The closest you can get is alternative metal, otherwise you're stuck classifying each and every song.
