@@nebularvoid4669 what kind of amp...?

@@SomeRandomHobo44 he uses a Sunn Beta Lead rackmount

I simply think of it as "a wasp" deeply reminiscent of multiple wasps

and he's playing it through an all-aluminum guitar... now THAT is what I call min-maxing.

Yep I hear dem... bzzzz bzzzz bzzzz

Anything on Gluey Porch Treatments, Ozma, Lysol, and Bullhead is heavier.

wtf was that?

@@nathanielbaker6884 harmonics

Lol

@@nathanielbaker6884 he palm-muted the strings hard against the pickup and then strummed them so it made a metal on metal sound

@@smudge1619 thanks for the feedback.

Yes, that is THE fucking riff!

420

Litterally one of the best

Riff Of Doom

Understatement of the century 😆

+sanpt7777 though I'd say the song is more simple than easy lol

***** I know right, I can't play it myself. A friend of mine doesn't like Melvins because I believe it sounds to unskilled to him. He's the kind who loves virtuoso guitarists but can't appreciate this kind of music has it's own complexity.

sanpt7777 I totally understand the friend you're describing. I happen to like the whole motif behind the Melvins being different but not in an annoying way, just interested and driven to do things they find appealing. (Weird notes, chords, keys, etc.) I hope to see them live, they are playing in CA in the near future.

The challenge with Melvins compositions is all in the rhythm. You only need minor knowledge of the fretboard to play most stuff on Ozma, but you'd better have a good memory.

actually the main riff is pretty tricky to play on guitar is simple yet very confusing, if u have small fingers playing it in bass is basically impossible

his name exists for a reason

I'd call both of them "average".

@@rimothytooltarski4459 People who overplay are lame. Go jack off to your shitty technical playing no one can groove to.

@@rimothytooltarski4459 I'd call both of them great, it depends how you're judging them. Shredding, maybe not. Writing sick riffs, definitely.

@@jtsotherone yeah you are correct. I rewatched it and I was being overly critical. I was probably in a bad mood or something. If ur just putting shit out there its already better than 99.9% of people.

It sounds like pure penisdump!!

@@465marko lmao 😂😂😂 i laughed way too hard about that

RacerRickxx palm mutes my friend!

@@jeroenverbeeck7925 palm mutes have nothing to do with tempo..?

@@cowboydan8021 no they don’t. But he doesn’t just play it slower, he also uses palm mutes. Which makes the slower riff that much heavier

No question that is true!

Agree 100%

ADT2695 LoL gHeY!

He gay riding the D

He might be a laydeee

I think it's an Electrical Guitar Company guitar. I don't know the exact model but I do know that they are pretty low price

@@joristolhuijs3703 they’re like 3 grand and way more expensive used

@@smalllhank Oh shit that's not cheap indeed

Reminds me a bit of a Travis Bean

It's his signature EGC guitar. Actually the guy who worked with TB back in the day came in with the inventer of the EGC and helped him with the making of these great guitars. There cool. I had the tyranny. Very rad but not for everybody.

Hooch album?

Houdini

Cannibalkorntallica123 oops! You're both right. My bad.

lynchie137 it's ok, I always make that mistake too. I completely agree with you on how the Melvins made an awesome hybrid of sludge and thrash

revolve sounds so simillar to skeletons of society by slayer too

Hate to say it, but it was probably the name for me. I remember listening to Megadeth, Metallica: cool names, and that's just ones starting with M, lol. "Melvin" sounds like a name the jocks might call me before beating me up. Even punk bands, Clash, Dead Kennedys (my favorite name), Misfits, Bad Brains, Black Flag. Why would any self-respecting band call themselves Melvins? Sounds like a Buddy Holly cover band.😂

Aluminum top, wood back. If it is the same one I saw him show.

Travis Bean!?

I've heard of many people who were/are listening to Radiohead and that was the gateway for Melvins

I’m laughing because the post right above yours says “worst guitar tone in the history of guitar tones”. To each their own.

lol

If u wrap ur guitar in allumnium foil and plug into an ass you will get the same tone.trust me it works

love that he said that. I had to reply out loud, to no one, "It sure fucking is."

there is none thats the beauty of it

It’s all in 4/4 just different tempos

That's why I love The Melvins. It just sounds like a bunch of random parts all thrown together, but somehow all the random parts equal a song. Can't really think of another way to describe them.

@@smalllhank 4/4 IS a tempo, Einstein.

@@TheRealCaptainFreedom 4/4 is a time signature. The tempo is the speed of the time signature. Both are different, but work in tandem.

***** I don't care about your war or your politics. If you're so passionate about war don't discuss it (I'm being nice when I say discuss, all you're doing is spouting non-truths) on a Melvins video comments section. This speaks volumes about your inability to enjoy the greatest gift on Earth, which in turn tells me that you're very sad. Either way, don't direct it at me, or in a video in which Buzz tries to teach us how to play Honey Bucket. I personally prefer Stoner Witch to Houdini, what about you?

gakfas is absolutely right. We all have something in common here. Let's appreciate it! I like both albums. "Magic Pig Detective" from _Stoner Witch_ would be awesome to learn. My two favorite albums are very early ones: _Gluey Porch Treatments_ and _Ozma_. Do you like those early ones?

***** That's not at all what Lebanon is like but I'm sure you aren't big on facts.

***** Gluey Porch Treatments is amazing but I've never heard Ozma before. I'll give it a listen.

+gakfas Ignore Brian Smith, he's just chatting shit. With that being said, Buzz is Jewish, and for someone like him to tour in the middle east would be extremely dangerous

Melvins were influential to almost everyone.
