Mark, I thank you vrey much for this really interesting story and above all for your personal approach. Best greetings and all the best to you from Germany!

Hey, Mark, thanks so much for sharing this story. I saw the Melvins on tour in Olympia, Washington, at the Reko Muse in April 1990, and I bought Gluey Porch Treatments and Ozma at that time. Ozma is still one of my very favorite albums of all time. I appreciate hearing this back story. And I also would love to hear you interview Lori, I am very curious to hear her stories and learn more about her. Do you happen to know if she played bass at that April 1990 show in Olympia? I seem to recall it was her, but I don't trust my memory so many years later... Thanks!

I couldn't help but do a little happy dance when you stated the only way to experience "Pure Digital Silence" correctly was via the original CD, as I have it. I've only just discovered your channel, sir, and I'm really enjoying the background and stories without any grumpy hyperbole attached. Thanks for doing it!

For someone claiming that he had not even listened to - for over a decade - he certainly seems to recall everything ~ just about. So what is the actual motive for this anyways? Doesn't jive unless asked to... But still?...

He invited white people, just say it. He was the one that put Ya'll in the Caucasus mountains. He wasn't evil and you know it. If he was evil, then that would explain it all. You're afraid to share the truth. ..

Thank you so much for sharing this!

a lot of beethoven books on shelf and melvins producer lol

Caught them with Monster Magnet at the Troc in Philly in I think '93 or '94. Zombie was a douche- spinning side kicking fans in their backs as they dove from stage. Complete opposite vibe from seeing Pantera there a year earlier where Phil had the crew remove monitors so we could dive safely.

Album is same age as me! Haha

One of my fave albums till now, Circus of Chaos ! Was waiting for a long time to see the faces and the guys since the eightys. Thanks a lot!

very cool to hear about the making of Rock N Roll Nightmare. The studio tricks like having no reverb will be handy for those of us unskilled in the studio who might try to make something. I'm glad it came to together....or rather you captured a band that always rode the line of falling apart. Your similar description of Sacrilege sort of changed the way i listen to them. Still i don't need to do rails of speed to appreciate the intensity these bands exude....the ultra fast hectic music plays well before i bike thru Bay Area traffic I also appreciate hearing the thumb nail sketch of Doug Moody. As a teenager in Northern Cal while this was happening i would read about him but got little more than "Mistake Records". The bit about his origins in England sort of elevates it to the entangled (and sometimes cool) history of the greater LA music scene. The book Riot on Sunset Strip is excellent in giving us the gory details--though it drops out by the mid 70's. I guess we gotta keep looking to the skies of youtube to fill out the rest of the story ....i do sort of miss fanzines

Man i am so happy to have come across this channel.Love these stories,what a treasure trove of fascinating insights.

Love the change of dynamics from song to songs, also that album cover could be a beer logo! There is beer that's called "bluebird bitter" was the name inspired by that beer?

Rich Kids on LSD is the greatest punk band to ever walk the planet as of now we all want to be as good as RKL but never get there Stain.

Favorite album of my favorite band. I love every single track.

I seen this Tour in Dayton Ohio The Melvins and Reverend Horton Heat blew the top off that place!

Mark! I cannot tell you how much this video means to me! I’m so mad I’m JUST now seeing this a year later! The Seattle Center Arena show was my first exposure to Melvins, and I was instantly hooked! I was 13 and your set was literally a life-changing experience for me. I know that’s such overused hyperbole, but I mean that in the most genuine and literal sense. My musical tastes were forever changed after that one show, and I was an instant Melvins fan. The Melvins era with you will always be my favorite. Your contribution to Melvins was inimitable and felt like lightning in a bottle. No music has ever made an impact or felt as magical as Stoner Witch & Stag. By the time Stag came out I was obsessed and I went to the CD release party at Cellophane Square in Seattle. I was a Melvins collector and I brought my huge pile of Melvins 7”s and rarities to the meet & greet (including Tora Tora Tora). I could be wrong, but you and Buzz seemed genuinely psyched that I was a young collector during the meet & greet (Buzz actually remembered me at the next Seattle show at RKCNDY). Krist was behind you guys at the meet & greet and commented about how he saw me bang my head against Buzz’s PA up front haha! I remember you felt weird signing some of the older stuff you didn’t play on, but you graciously obliged my request. I have tried to keep up with you since those days. I actually found a copy of Iraq several years ago at a record store in Seattle and LOVED it! I remember thinking “THIS is what made those Melvins records so special!” Not to discredit Buzz by any means, but it seemed like it was that synergy of your playing styles and writing styles that just pushed it into legendary territory for me. I’m SO SO happy I found your channel! I’m going to sign up for the Patreon and catch up on all these amazing videos/stories!!! I can’t wait to watch them! Thank you THANK YOU for taking the time to document all these wonderful stories for us fans! It really means the world to me! I’m so happy to see you again after all these years! ☺️🖤

3:47 if your curious, kevin had both of them in his rack until he left

MARK REPLY TO YOUR PATREON MESSAGES

I suspected Yacob's lab was based off of the NOI, cool to see it confirmed. Great video!

Respectfully, your wife is stunning.

We need the 10 min version of LACRIMOSA

Respectfully, your wife is stunning.

cottonmouth was awesome!!!

I was at the Dayton Ohio show being a 13 year old finding music like the Melvin’s and RHH definitely help shape my musical taste…

Rob Zombie is a glorified novelty act at best. The Melvins are arguably one of the most influential bands in rock history, and that’s really the better legacy to have. Mainstream success means very little if you aren’t remembered.

Which came first, the Melvins or Candlemass. Does it depend on which side of the Atlantic you're from?

I always noticed how ozma/gluey sounded equally good on a boom box or cheap car stereo as it did on a proper stereo, almost as if by design

Wow interesting story, I appreciate the irony.... King buzzo

Glad you posted this. When I was guided to your channel a while back, I took the time to listen to your solo projects and was intrigued.

50:20 ❤ 50:49 😮 Mark D with the bass runs

Me and my friends had a lot of fun with this album. The fact that it was so weird was why we loved it.

Hello Mark. So happy to discover your channel where you discuss these topics. At this same time, I was in a band on David Portnow's label Medusa/Ever Rat Records. Our band was a big fan of and influenced by everything going on with Alchemy Records. Never missed any of the shows in Tacoma when any of the bands from your label played. Thank you for your contribution to memorable years of my life.

South Side of the Sky is one of the best Yes songs. Squire's Rickenbacker just grinds. Interesting how he almost had a semi-punk bass sound despite being in the most proggy of prog rock bands.

Personally, I like the actual band behind Rob. Jay Yuenger is a pretty good guitarist. But they had a recent online reunion on the Metal Injection channel and made it abundantly clear that they have a lot of disdain towards Rob. Not a fun guy to be in a band with or tour with.

i love the sound of the band in ozma, and the kind of twangy tone of the bass is perfect for the songs, more fast songs

I think most Melvin’s albums aren’t that good at first but the more you listen to them the more they grow on you, I need to listen stag more

Kira Roessler from Black Flag was another great bass player from the mid 80s who also started out on piano!

"Candy-O" was included on the CD version, along with Gluey Porch Treatments. I bought the reissue of Ozma on vinyl, it does not have "Candy-o".

Tom and Jerry. Oh yeah, now I remember. Those thin fellers, right?

Sweet Connie from Little Rock? ......banged her in 72 😅

Thin Lizzy opening up for Queen in L.A.. Jesus!

Best bassist for Melvins=Mark D.

What a great version of The bit, best one I have heard in years.

I understand why you have been harsh on yourself but the record is such a fantastic piece of music history. Maybe the record sound can be viewed as a happy accident and I listen to it all the time. It's awesome hearing some history leading up to the recording of the record.

The feel good hit of the summer ..... Hahaha

I love this album so much that, even though I have it on black vinyl, I just went and ordered one of the last copies on RED vinyl from Mark's Bandcamp!!!!!! Feeling inspired to learn some of these songs on guitar! (Can totally imagine a Blue Bird song book with that amazing cover art!).
