The Melvins - 01 - The Water Glass

[atherton802]

PAIN! In my leg.

[michaeldi]

These guys have seen "stripes" 100 too many times!!! Rock on Melvins \m/

[wirsindderclub887]

lol

Weird, bought this album last night and planned to listen to it over my run this morning (preparing for basic training) and the first song was basically military cadence, got me super pumped up that it was coming from the Melvins.

Fucking love this band

[uiruu]

Run me run me in the dirt

[mndfusion]

We sang a variance of that cadence in Jump School and after, in Airborne paratroop

units.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Best call and response singing ever.

Me my mate do it each other randomly at college. No one else seems to get it but us. He usually starts it though :)

[NotMeAgainFFS]

Here we go.

[metalgrungefan123]

wpic opening riff

[VeroNevermind1990]

LOLOLOL THIS IS AWESOME

[Gmonkey500]

Thumbs up if you saw them play this song live at enmore

:D

[pepe7drum]

@Gmonkey500 thumbs down for this asshole

[JivemasterJ]

I didn't really get this one till I saw it live. The awesome tongue in cheek stupidity compares only to Dinosaur Holocaust's recent videos...

[2291602]

@JivemasterJ YOUR A FUCKING HOMO. GO KILL YOURSELF

[onesadsob]

@2291602  seriously

[dommer117]

the latter half sounds like something that a band would play at a high school football game to get everyone pumped

[scruffy688]

@dommer117 It's actually a US Airborne cadence...

[kaninsmink]

I like how they give a warning how the last part of the song is going to be like before they start singing for real.

[CocoaShunter]

ahhhhh The Water Glass, meaning you're either a pessimist or an optimist towards this song (get it). Cuz people either love it or hate it, or love the first half and hate the second. I love it to death, all the way through. Kinda a call to arms for melvins fans.

[germyfromirc]

my first time hearing this track i have to say im impressed

[gorion79]

The Melvins are always fucking with their fans, I love it.

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

Thats the drumset that john bonhams dreams dripped down onto us from Drum Heaven

[70moparbaby]

i think buzz shoulda joined the marines.

[Scottishpunk77]

@70moparbaby Then he would've had to shave his crazy hair. =0

[70moparbaby]

@Scottishpunk77 hahahahahahahahahahaahaha yeah

[lnklttr]

The day Alpha Kappa Alpha uses this for their step routine will be the day we finally live in a post-racial world.

[phantomgreen0013]

saw em at bottltree in birmingham...awesome show

[leezer2]

i saw them in toronto about two weeks ago. for the first time in what, ten years? fuckin best live show i have seen. ever.

[bloodtearsej]

kicks ass

[CocoaShunter]

Hey, this is so fucking amazing.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Who's the 1 person who thumbed down? I'd like a word with them...

[purexist]

New favourite song. Gets my blood pumping like no other!

[Jimihendrix6699]

part of this sounds like moby dick

[WarpxD]

[mitchell420SF]

@WarpxD god"S"

[JuggaloARBY]

@WarpxD

You mean gods, there are two.

[AxeSwanger]

@WarpxD edit: GODS

[cheezyboundy]

@WarpxD *fucking drum god's 

[Polybun]

LOL, wtf with the army double time cadence?

[NuclearGuru350]

@Polybun I think it's the best part haha

[StarInvasion]

I'm ashamed to say i forgot melvins had a new album coming out :( im glad you put this up so i can listen on here until my copy comes through soon. thanks a lot man!

[Jimbengoz]

melvins are my favourite band together with iron maiden, kyuss, obscura, death, banco del mutuo soccorso and sadist

[sheepthieves]

FUCKIN A!

x

[kingthunder93]

the undisputted kings of sludge are back in town, this destroys any of the shit on the radio

[demonchocobo]

@kingthunder93 why doesnt any radio station just grow a fucking pair and play melvins?

[powerchords09]

@demonchocobo Actually, I've just gotten my own radio show and i plan on only playing, Melvins, Electrc Wizard, Orange Goblin, Kyuss, Etc

[Switchfifty]

@powerchords09 omg all bands i love!

[uhhhhism]

@powerchords09 That is fantastic. Please play Gardenia on a loop.

[albuquerque98]

Shit talking thieves!

[planeshaperman]

@albuquerque98 Care to elaborate?

[albuquerque98]

@planeshaperman Dale made a funny comment about people releasing the album before it's date on another site. My comment refers specifically to what he said.. Now that I think about it, my comment makes absolutely no sense out of context.

[ot63]

this is going to be fun live

[macleodponeage]

@ot63 I can only imagine, lol... I wish I was 21 so I could see them...

[NuclearGuru350]

@macleodponeage What do you mean dude? I saw them in Water Street Music Hall (a big bar) when I was 16.

[macleodponeage]

@NuclearGuru350 Yeah thats how old I am, and on this tour there playing in 21 and over venue. It totally sucks because I've missed Sunn, Om, WITTR, Thrones/Bastard Noise, and now melvins because of age.

Hopefully their next tour they'll play where I can go.

[NuclearGuru350]

@macleodponeage might be worth driving a couple hours out, if you can. They're one of the best live bands today.

[macleodponeage]

@NuclearGuru350 I deffinitely will given that I can legally get into the venue.

[70moparbaby]

@NuclearGuru350 i first saw them in 2008 and had to drive from snohomish washington to portland oregon cause the seattle show was 21 and over. the next year they had a 21 and over and an all ages so we went to the seattle show.... definetly funner driving out a few hours!!!

[deathcubek13]

I look forward to getting this album even moreso now that I've heard this awesomeness. The Melvins never dissapoint.

[HistericalAyatollah]

Incredible!!!

[dopethrone4201982]

ooooo fuck yeah

[AICSLUDGE]

fuck yeaa!

[skatetron]

first view.. top that!
