[jojaju1000]

[maximhero]

That bass player looks weird lol

[jackerx5]

[67sdd]

[maritzayyy]

[maritzayyy]

i love lori

[nebardooo]

por suerte es una de las pocas bandas q van mejorando con el tiempo

[Justeatmytoast]

Is Dale really wearing gloves on it?

[TwistedSpeech]

If this is the loudest outdoor show you've ever seen then you haven't seen Motorhead, now that's loud! lol! Great show by The Melvins. : )

[thejacksaints]

@TwistedSpeech I have seen Motorhead outdoors! Unfortunately they were the opening act and plagued with poor sound. Dinosaur Jr is up there with the loudest, and oddly enough Excel, that Venice Beach HC band ...had my ears ringing for days after a show in Reseda...

[epicmeade]

@thejacksaints I've seen the melvins and motorhead many times. and they were loud. but the three loudest shows I've ever seen were the Bad Brains at the elite club, Husker Du at the I Beam, and the Clash at the warfield in 1980. the Clash were so loud they actually made me permanently partially deaf in one ear. it's nice seeing some decent footage of Lori. thanks for posting this.

[NSFolsom]

Lorax AKA Lori Temple-Black. Shirley Temple-Black's daughter. Always blows my mind.

[Thulcando]

@NSFolsom Lorax shoot on this video correct. This is very rare.

[CVargas]

@NSFolsom She's also married to Dale.

[ATronWhoFellToEarth]

@CVargas Wrong.



[putolarry]

melvins making the college rounds



[putolarry]

Dinosaur Jr. was louder . I remember being at this show when Hardcore Hillary was the program dir. at KUCI

[hhuskerdu]

F#cking loud ....great

[gh3tt0thu9]

people are just walking to their class and not even appreciating the power of the melvins in their presence. WHAT FUCKS!

[nathanoman1]

some things never change..melvins killin and people trying make sense..thats wahat its all about

[vargaso]

Agreed about the volume. They were hands-down the LOUDEST fucking band in small venues ever. The did not care where they were playing, they turned that shit UP. Such a great fucking band.

[babysitterbob]

i wonder is pauly shore was at this show

[vacuumnoise]

SO FUCKIN GOD 

[mhofkp]

LORAX!

[fuckamericanidiot]

was there something up when it just sounded like noise at the instrumental beginning of the slow bit?

[matt9okayfine]

Any idea on his amps? They look like like they're solid state.

[nicallred12xu]

@matt9okayfine They look like Sunn Concert or Beta Leads.

[br0neck]

AHAHAHAAAAAA;]



[Echohead100]

Did you film the entire show? o.o

[Lobsterdeth]

Actually you can hear the... mic breaking up because the bass frequencies are too low.

[SuperSpanishChicken]

Lori forgot to get her pills.

[thejacksaints]

@SuperSpanishChicken ..forgot to go down town...

[manhuntruler2]

why didnt the Melvins ever reach mainstream or well known around the world? Their fucking heavy and straight out.

[2333jim]

@manhuntruler2 : Honestly? The reason they didn't break worldwide is probably because they (although they were from Montesano WA, 5 miles from Aberdeen), moved to San Francisco when "grunge" was breaking in Seattle. It is not fair, because they are much better than Nirvana or AIC. Melvins are what got Kurt interested in playing music; he lived in Montesano for half of his teen years. But, despite the fact that Dale contributed several tracks to "Incesticide", Melvins were in the wrong place.

[fascisnarcis]

1993 ????

[MadCatRiley]

Is the bassist actually doing anything?

[thejacksaints]

@MadCatRiley I don't know but I could never really hear their bass live till mark got in the band and that was mainly because he'd hit a lot of high notes...

[MadCatRiley]

@thejacksaints She mainly just doesn;t look like she's doing anything... sorta like sid viscous lol.

[2333jim]

@MadCatRiley : That's Lori Black, Shirley Temple's grand daughter. Hank Williams III also played for them. I think it's hard to hear the bass here, but probably because of the microphone.

[Miked4doom]

@MadCatRiley Unfortunately Lori was doing a lot, just not playing bass. In the grip ;(

[sh33hy]

@MadCatRiley the answer is in the way buzz look at her at the end...

[rafael221192]

Lori sexy woman

[noeltheshemale]

awesome footage.

[floridacomedyfan]

Lorax, the bassist AKA Lori Black just happens to be the daughter of Shirley Temple Black. Yes, that Shirley Temple.

[nathanoman1]

Major Props for this Video!!

[redshaftedflicker]

Buzzo---try playing a heavy ass Les Paul slung low like that the way he does it. Slash still needs his training bra.

[boredom535]

mike patton looking at his watch at 0:40

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@boredom535 he is not patton you fucking dumb ass!

[boredom535]

@yovioleatuzorramadre hahaha i know. looks like him tho

[SoftaEnB1]

THIS IS FUCKING GREAT SOUND!

[ecsesspool]

Great video! Very intense as usual.

[ClassicColtCabana]

lol college kids in the back no idea whats killin it

[thejacksaints]

@ClassicColtCabana yeah college shows are weird, especially back then...they always paid great though, so the Melvins might have picked up $300-$400 bucks for that afternoon gig! At those things you always gotta figure most people won't get it and won't like it. There were TONS of Melvins fans at this though, and at one point I had 3 or 4 different camera angles from all the people who were filming that day.

[ClassicColtCabana]

@thejacksaints Nicee. Thanks for sharing that man 

[melvincrover]

what a bunch of noise!

[MrPawasurf]

this is older than 93 ????



[CVargas]

I like the random people walking by not even realizing they are within farting distance of the band that spawned the obscenely popular "grudge movement" doing one of their best early songs.

[biwon]

These people are in disbelief.They have know idea what they are witnessing.

[austenslost]

the bass player looks like kim gordon with black hari

[ejr1636]

look at the bag lady playing bass

[Markoh2020]

LOVE!!!

[nestygrind]

is that a chick playing bass?

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@nestygrind yeah, a very old one...

[70moparbaby]

loris like can we take a break? i gotta pee!

[anaemiabag]

lori black is like the ideal kick ass chick bass player of all time. even above jo bench.

[Rankmoistmeat]

anyone knows how he makes that super high pitched sound with his guitar?

[Osthropek]

@Rankmoistmeat I'ts simple feedback. Turn the amp up loud, distort, put the guitar close to the amp, and it will squeal like a pig.

[Rankmoistmeat]

@Osthropek ok so basically he's just not touching any strings which creates feedback, because of the volume and distortion....

[Osthropek]

@Rankmoistmeat right. also note he's doing an upward movement as the feedback starts, which changes the pitch of it

[Rankmoistmeat]

@Osthropek o ya! Must be kinda hard to do it right each time no?

anyways, thanks for the info.

[nicantlacaroots]

To me The Melvins asound like Metal Punk with a Grunge sound (not as "cheery" high pitched as regular metal.)

[jprenderg]

damn crover looks all kinda sexy here.

[monkeygonetoheavensi]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have only seen the Melvins once and it was 93 at the Reading festival in England. The same line-up as this clip. It had been raining and the field had turned to mud. But it was fucking great. The Jesus Lizard played after...oh the memories. Great vid despite the sound quality. Bullhead has always been my fave Melvins cd too

[tbeat03]

grab this dvd on demonoid:

demonoid.me/files/details/2566­334/2172012/

[NoQuarter46]

Awesome. Thanks for this, I can't believe how good the footage is.

[CalebTheDestroyer]

Would anybody mind posting "Joan of Arc", "Set Me Straight", and "Eye Flys" from this show?? I tried downloading the torrent and would've uploaded the clips myself, but my computer is shit..............

[thejacksaints]

@CalebTheDestroyer Maybe if I eventually get a Hi-8 player instead of having to rent one I'll upload a lot more stuff I filmed...

[blueguitarist]

@thejacksaints oh man please do that I would be grateful eternally

[sh33hy]

@CalebTheDestroye

Yeah please post these songs, and by the way fuck you poseur Rob Zombie

[codeaires]

Lori was awesome; it's a damn shame she retired from music after getting fired from Melvins. And to answer dude back there, that does look like Mike Patton in the audience. Hmm...

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@codeaires there is no mike patton in this video, and that man do not looks like hem. Patton only knew Melvins when Houdini was out .

[dinosaurjr420]

Lori was such a bad bassist, haha

[spam6669]

this is the first vid ihave ever seen with lori!!! i love her!!! plus buzzo has got a pee-wee herman t-shirt on !!!

[Gorpisnorb]

@spam6669 ~~ sherly temple's daughter right?

[thejacksaints]

@Gorpisnorb Yes. Wiki: Lori Black (born April 9, 1954), also known as Lorax, is an American musician born in Santa Monica, California. She is the daughter of Shirley Temple[1] and Charles Alden Black. She played bass guitar for Clown Alley[1] and for the Melvins.

[ghoawaynetcabo]

@spam6669 lover her... why?... lololol

[andymetaldeth]

Really wanna know what she says to buzz at the end, he doesnt look best pleased

[codeaires]

@andymetaldeth

Lori: Uhh, wanna get pizza after this?

Buzz: But we had pizza last night...oh whatever *scratches ass*

[enginear]

Hey Mike-have we talked of this before? I didnt know you were there..i was doing sound...Wow, small world...

[thejacksaints]

@enginear Ha!! I didn't know you way back then of course, but I knew Buzz and Dale from going to like every show they played in Southern California and interviewing them a few times. Our old stoner rock band from Palm Springs played with them not too long after this when they got Mark in the band.

[CalebTheDestroyer]

Ah shit. Don't tell me Buzz was getting gray hair at 29!!!

[Newmegiant36050]

Thank you for posting thejacksaints and please Lori,come back.

[CalebTheDestroyer]

either the crowd is braindead or they're in such awe that they can't give a better round of applause

[gabiestrong]

thanks for posting!! ;)

[Kelmourne]

Holy shit is that Mike Patton at 0:45?

[bburzumm2]

Sounds great!



[Vvran36]

Its Loris face!

[tonybro70]

Miss you Lori

[remanufactureff]

[TheLegitMan93]

It's Lorax! The loudness just captures the intensity.

[evilnewwargod]

Buzz's Pee-wee Herman shirt rules.
