  • Thank you Kurt Cobain for writing about this band<3

  • the melvins may have put about 50 albums since 1990, but there is nothing unforgettable (or even memorable) in their catalog. they're not bad, but it's not the sort of music you ever put on at a party or bar mitzvah.

  • @bongobill635 Depends on who you ask, the Melvins are a constant in the music scene and have done their own thing as well as take popular sounds and twist them to death. 99.9% of Heavy music isn't party music.

  • @bongobill635 Are you serious?, Heavy Metal music and its subgenres and mix genres aren't the type of music you'd use in a party or any other festivity. Melvins are Sludge Metal, and they're pretty original, they've done their own thing always and they've experimented a lot during time. Melvins was formed in 1983 and they've put up 20 Studio albums If I'm not wrong. Their most memorable albums, if we go for popularity, the ones with Atlantic Records, Houdini, Stoner Witch and Stag...

  • @thehackman888 The Melvins helped form the grunge sound, before Nirvana and Alice In Chains were in it (HELPED shape the sound, they didn't shape it on their own obviously...) and SUPPOSEDLY, Buzz was the one that brought drop-D Tuning to the grunge movement, leaking it to the other genres (i say Supposedly... because that's what Metal Evolution was saying...) (and i'm not arguing anything you said, i'm just stating something)

  • @bongobill635 99% of rock and metal music is something you'd never play at a party. That doesn't mean it's bad.

  • @bongobill635 nice troll

  • @bongobill635 You're crazy. Houdini is a classic piece of heavy rock, and I've played it at MANY parties!

  • @Triumph72 none of these neck beards get invited to real parties

  • @SalientBen You mean the guys in the Melvins have never been to "real" parties but YOU have? You sound like a 14-year old schmuck who thinks he has "swag". You're a jackass of the highest order. Real parties lol, schmuck.

  • @Triumph72 referring to the previous comments talking about never hearing Melvins at parties but whatever you fucking freak.

  • gosh i wish i had hair like buzz

  • they started when they was 15-16 :]

  • great band

  • Fuck, now I have to look for baemoop's comment.

  • every 14 year old noob should watch metal evolution

  • I cannot explain with words how much I fucking love this song.

  • use labels to find new bands, not classify the ones you allready listen to

  • @betoleal81 I don't get why we feel the need to label music.... I don't care what its called, it fucking rocks!!!! and that's all that matters...

  • Pie sucks

  • 1:06 thats were it gets juicy

  • ´this was in times were there was music in the music television!i acant believe it.

  • @TouchPeelStandMan You mean that Alice and Nirvana were a mix of this. The Melvins have been around alot longer than either of them. Kurt used to muck about with Buzzoand the guys when they did shows before he formed Nirvana. Always wanted to be their roadie, but they said he couldn't haul equipment because he was too spindly.

  • This is totaly grunge, this is like a mix of Alice in Chains and Nirvana, two of the biggest 90's grunge scene bands

  • @TouchPeelStandMan Mix of Nirvana and Alice in Chains ? hahahahaha ... Stop to listen your '' biggest 90's grunge scene bands '' , and listen THE MELVINS.

  • im too high, this is creeping me out

  • I'm sin done in water!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is pretty good, but Jeremy is my favourite song of theirs.

  • This is the only grunge for me.

  • @Cecilink60 THIS ISN'T GRUNGE..IT NEVER WAS,IT NEVER WILL

  • @betoleal81

    In the sense that grunge was local seattle movement between friend's bands playing heavily distorted music that was a sort of cross between classic rock and punk. this is very much grunge.

  • @chippy20202 you might be right about ur definition of the so-called trendy "grunge"..but just because they inspired that shit doesn't mean they were part of it...they did took advantage of that mainstream trend,but they inspired it (which is a completely different thing).. along with other talented bands who got tagged as "grunge" ....to me this is fucking SLUDGE at its finest.. deal with it

  • @betoleal81 thanks!

    That´s true

  • Man that lead singers hairdew is badass

  • @santanaincubus You should see it now, it looks the same except it's gray/white hahaha. Buzz is a crazy bastard

  • @eleventhsun lol. I did. He's got really thick hair. Thankfully he didnt lose his hair lol.

  • @dandamanraymond i know the last episode of this season was on last night on prog rock...but do u know if its gonna have another season?

  • Fuck the mainstream. This is the real deal!!!

  • @nick0is0ace - You and granntatta are right for the mist part. But it is my belief that The Melvins wouldn't have existed without the influence of FLIPPER. The Melvins have also covered several of their songs as well. Great stuff!

  • @MarionBarryIsDumb like all music genres you can keep pulling it further back. You could say the same with the likes of Meat Puppets, REM, Black Flag, Pixies etc. All though these bands influenced the grunge movement they weren't grunge bands. The thing with the seattle movement was that the bands within the scene (i.e. melvins, tad , green river etc) all influenced each other becasue there was so little outside influences. It stayed within a tight circle as it evolved.

  • This isnt metal it's underground

  • @GrungeGunner23 No, this is MUSIC!!! True fuckin music beyond good and evil...

  • dude i didnt know so many people watched evolution, thats wat got me into this band! thank u metal evolution!!!

  • I think some of you need a history lesson. The Melvins are pretty much the founders of grunge. If you watch Metal Evolution's episode on Grunge, Buzzo is on there alot. The took punk, like Black Flag, and slowed it down. They influenced Niravana and countless other grunge bands. They are also in Mark Yarm's book about the history of Grunge titled "Everybody Loves Our Town". If you want to find the true meaning of grunge, you needed to dig deeper than the stuff they played on the radio.

  • @grannytatts your wrong

  • @tingly7654321 If I'm wrong, why don't you enlighten me?

  • @grannytatts your wrong becouse buzz and kurt cobain where highschool friends and they started the band focal matter together. that is as proove that they started at the same time. buzz osborne not created grunge but inspired kurt

  • @luitenant22 Where did you get your information? Buzz and Kurt knew each other but never played in a band together. Can you cite me a source so I can go verify it for myself? Here's a direct quote from Tracy Simmons, bassist for Blood Circus, "The Melvins were the band that inspired the grunge sound more than anybody.".

  • @grannytatts Your totaly right dude, The true pioneers of the grunge movement/seattle sound where: Melvins, Green River (who later split to form Mudhoney and Mother Love bone), Tad, Soundgarden and a few others. The later bands like nirvana, AIC, Pearl Jam etc had a much more poliched/commercial sound, as apposed to the true GRUNDGY sounding bands which came before them.

  • @nick0is0ace Thank you! I'm glad that somebody else understands that there was so much more to grunge and the "Seattle Sound" than Kurt Cobain! He was a great talent but far from being the only one!

  • @grannytatts Haha, i know dude. It makes my bood boil when i hear or read people saying that grunge began in 1991 (cos thats when Nevermind & Ten were released). The truth is that Green River and The Melvins where performing in the early 80's. In fact Mark Arm from Green River and Mudmoney first used the word "Grunge" in 81 discribing his first band "Mr Epp". Then in the late 80's the like of Soundgarden and Tad came along an turned grunge from a styl to an entire scene/movement.

  • @grannytatts buzz played bass at kurts first band fecal matter. its true, really

  • FUCKING AWESOME

    YEAH NIGGERS

  • love it

  • One of the best bands ever! Long live Melvins!

    Check out my band by the way, leave comments!

    Good luck to you my friends!

  • VIVA ZWEI FUCKIN RULED

  • :}

  • I was just watching a bunch of Skin Yard and Tad (other grunge bands) and that 226,402 views is looking pretty big.

  • i heard kurt cobain was listening to them and i was like : "I got to check them out"

  • @just4mak same here

  • @just4mak Not true...get your facts straight

  • just saw these dudes on metal evolution..pretty kool

  • 10 tons song ©

  • Danke ! Danke ! 

  • dolph lundgren brought me here

  • @deftones311100 - hell yeah

  • Comment removed

  • @cortezthekillr you just totally ripped off metal evolution

  • or rather who came close to this sound?

  • @lemnianetruscan Maynard James Keenan says he was influenced by King Buzzo. You can see similarities in the vocals

  • what a gem and these dudues beyon grunge big time!quitemad511 I totally agree!How different was this in 1993?Who comes close?

  • thank u metal evolution for reminding me of this band

  • @dandamanraymond same here

  • @dandamanraymond haha, same here, totally forgot how much i love these guys

  • Wanna find a name for this style of music?

    Guess what? It's impossible!

    And that's how you do real Rock! Give a shit on style. Give a fucking shit on what people think.

    Stop putting everything in a little box. But that's what fuckers do.

  • Who gives a fuck what kind of music this is? I think we all agree that it's the shit.

  • @TheFlyingBagels

    Grunge, like Nirvana and Alice in Chains

  • @ItZkArTiNg19 I'm pretty sure his question was rhetorical..

  • This is THE way to end a year, just sit back and listen to punk rock

  • fucking amazing

  • viva 2 wah´s the shit ;D

  • Pretty much all metal was influenced by sabbath. Melvins especially.

  • @dragonstylekungfu They are mostly Stoner Rockers.

  • These freaks more than make up for the cultural blight known as 'grunge'. Mosdef as serious as a binary star-system. Yum.

  • @genreslur they arent grunge god damn you people they are doom metal like sabbath but grittier

  • @dragonstylekungfu no they wernt even inspired by sabbath they were inspried by black flag

  • @kix7711therealone I think it's up to them to determine who they were inspired by

  • @UhtheMusic and they do in an interview they say they were inspired by black flags my war album more

  • @kix7711therealone They were inspired by both. A moron could see that.

  • @dragonstylekungfu Sabbath was heavy metal. This is sludge metal. AKA heavy metal slowed to a crawl and even heavier.

  • @dragonstylekungfu Sorry for the confusion, mac. I meant that, because of the geograpic proximity to the cultural blight known as grunge, the Melvins actually make up for it. The way JS Bach more than made up for the worst organ/harpsichord music of the time. The only thing grungy about these guys may be the bottoms of their shoes. Too out-there for doom(and gloom), too out-there for stoner (though closer to lsd-25 than most), the Melvins are a hideous mutant freak. Onward!

  • @genreslur Grunge is not a cultural blight. It's near and ear to a lot of uour hearts. POST-grunge, which is shit cleaned up for radio-friendly crap, IS a blight. Get it right.

  • la zorra conchetumadre ! desde siempre

    MELVINS

  • HAIL KING BUZZO

  • I absolutely love this song.

  • good drumming 

  • Fucking Love This Song So Mutch, Fucking Amazing Band

  • I just got back from the hospital and I was diagnosed with Minor Schizophrenia, so I just came to the computer to listen to this to calm me down. I'M FREAKING OUT.

  • Theres never going to be another great band like the Melvins, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Mudhoney or Pantera ever again.

  • @TheDivNiv Check out a fairly new band called Mars Red Sky, awesome stoner metal.

  • on viva2 LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • this song make high and feels like I'm living in 80's

  • It's Buzz Osborne... not Osbourne... I'm sorry but idk how you people mix him up with Ozzy.

  • 16 minutes of bonus noise. Man, Beck sure knows how to treat his fans. God bless.

  • fuck you there all good faggot

  • fuck off

    

  • loko....

  • this rules. i'm so fucking high right now

  • hey asshole we're talking about brazil right now, if you're not going to be pedantic you can fucking get lost.

  • @baemoop you too

  • brazil rules... nirvana... well... it used to rule... like when I was 14 years old man...

  • Stop bitchin' about PJ and Nirvana in a Melvins video Faggs

  • ahhh the notorious and evergrowing fro of buzz osbourne

  • First song i listen from them, and new favorite song.

  • @lolhibitch Me 2 ^^

  • so much hate for pearl jam, at least eddie vedder didn't threaten to leave his band because he wasn't getting a bigger split than the other band members, unlike one overrated dead rockstar i can think of....

    but im here for the Melvin's

  • melvins are better than both nirvana and pearl jam, in my opinion. although nirvana is kick ass. pearl jam can go suck a dick

  • melvins melvins melvins

  • @MrCauf melvins

  • when i listen to this song i always get the sense it was structured as a parody of a nirvana song.

  • @internash Without Melvins there would be no Nirvana.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl no really? wow. such new information =P not the point i was conveying, i was just saying they were making fun of them which idk if thats true i just get that sence out of it.

  • @internash Nirvana sucks.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl you are idiot nirvana is good and the melvins too

  • @HumbertoEB Nirvana SUCKS.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl What about Nirvana sucks? The meaningful lyrics? The kick ass instrumentals? The band members? Tell me.

  • @ChaChaHancho Nirvana SUCKS. 

  • @Peppepoppldoppl You suck.

  • @ChaChaHancho your tone deaf

  • @ChaChaHancho Nirvana SUCKS.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl Agreed, Nirvana is awful at best.

  • @QingLong90 Nirvana SUCKS.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl actualy nirvana and the melvins are great, human race (me, you, everybody) sucks. we are fucking humans we all are selfish idiots that dont respect each others preferences. fuck this shit, i'm going to kill myself and you should do the same. bastards!

  • @PowerfulNoise I don't need to kill myself. I am not useless Brazilian scum.

    By the way, Nirvana SUCKS.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl ok don't kill yourself... i know you have to kiss your queen's old ass. you live in a monarchy. your "kingdom" is about 200 late in history. you can say nothing about brazil

  • @PowerfulNoise I can say whatever I want about a toilet called Brazil.

    So do you think you're smooth and tough because you don't live in a monarchy? I am not oppressed into worshipping the queen. I am Scottish and proud.

    You on the other hand live in a drug market completely devoid of any character at all.

  • @PowerfulNoise Better to live in a monarchy rather than a toilet flushed down with drugs.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl you don't know nothing about Brazil. It's an awful country, full of idiotic slaves that are manipulated by the television networks. However, the "toilet flushed down with drugs" that you're refering to is called Rio de Janeiro, and it doesn't represents 1% of the extension of this country. Brazil really sucks, but you're ridiculous.

  • @Mafagafon Try committing suicide, that way you can get rid of the curse of being born in Brazil

  • Comment removed

  • @Peppepoppldoppl it's a good idea, but first I'd like to start a genocide over here

  • @Mafagafon What about a virus?

  • @Mafagafon Brazil doesn't suck at all, the problem is that it's filled with numbnuts who disrespect it's culture and don't fight for the country they live in.

    The only thing worse than being buried in shit is not fighting to get out of it man.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl  umm no go fuck yourself nirvana is amazing you fucking ass you like to eat shit

  • @Peppepoppldoppl You're currently listening to Cobain's favorite band. He used to "roadie" for them...Doesn't mean you must like nirvana, of course. Just an fyi. It's still a free country until Obama gets reelected.

  • @stubkar I already knew that.

  • @stubkar Yeah when he gets reelected we will no longer be "free". You're a schmuck.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl I agree.

    Nirvana SUCKS

  • @QingLong90 how can you be listening to Melvins and hate Nirvana? weird.

  • @ChaChaHancho The bad music and mess of lyrics overall. Also they are seemingly emotionless and all they ever had was the looks of Cobain as a rock anti hero.

  • @avend666 There's a lot of emotion in it though. There just aren't a lot of people that can hear it. I appreciate them as musicians, it's good music. You guys are nuts.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl You suck.

  • Wait, is this song about weed?

  • @adulter1234 get out.

  • !!!

  • what's the name of the melvins song that has a music video where they play in a barn or someshit, with pigs or goats. I watched that a couple of years ago and can't find it now

  • Honey Bucket

  • @ButJetagCameBack  lol, it was sheep in the video. Thanks man.

  • @comanfresh92 i think its honey bucket

  • there pretty cool you know

  • this sounds a shitload like polly wants a craker!

  • @thejoshbrockmanshow

    Not really, Polly sounds a shitload like Lizzy... ;)

  • Why do people find it necessary to fucking argue about Nirvana and Kurt on a goddamn Melvins video? Two different groups people, yes Kurt was influenced by Buzz and Co. But seriously what artist hasn't been inspired by another?

  • the melvins said kurt wasnt a good roady cus he couldnt lift heavy stuff

  • i want his fro

  • It's sad the melvins will always be remembered in Nirvana's shadow.

  • @darthmechis

    It's great that Melvins get more attention then they would if Nirvana hasn't been that famous. But that is just a bonus. I didn't discover Melvins because of Nirvana, that happened seperately. So, for me, they don't exist in anyone's shadow at all, they got their own universe. And they destroy and rebuild it whenever they want. And I like that.

  • they inspired nirvana

  • hey check out this song :

    "Never to Return" by COSMIC HALITOSIS ... trust me... you wont regret it
