Melvins - What's In My Bag?

[@lucasb7729]

These guys have been around for almost 50 years and some consider them the fathers of grunge and sludge metal. I discovered them in the early nineties and have always loved them

[@Guppusmaximus]

Without their legendary 80s stuff, Nirvana would not have had a style to get famous from.

[@herbertwest9626]

These guys have been around as a band for about 40 years. They started in the early 1980s. Don't make them older than they are.

[@SlideRSB]

@@herbertwest9626 oh please. What do you know?

[@herbertwest9626]

@@SlideRSB What do I know? I've just been listening to bands like the Melvins since the early 1980s. That's what I know. The Melvins formed in the early 80s. That's 40, not 50 years of existence. When you don't know the facts it's better to shut up.

[@SlideRSB]

@@herbertwest9626 Nah. When someone says something in the comments section that you think is stupid, it's best to keep your own mouth shut. Besides, the OP didn't say 50 years. They said "almost 50 years." 😉

[@chakstandsup]

Man, you can really tell these guys are best buds. Legends!

[@Matt_JR]

How can you not love Buzz and the Melvins?

[@lucasrussig]

Can you feel my love buzz?

[@grilledcheesehater44]

​@Lucas Russi hahaha I was just about to say the same thing

[@JanPrzybylowski]

David Byrne on this show would be one of the best things that happened to internet ever.

[@rufusbadsaltsson413]

Janek Przyyłowski yes!

[@honeycomblord9384]

It would be like "60 Minutes" on acid, but even better.

[@intrepiddreams9282]

This has become my new favorite way of finding new music. I get to listen to my idols pick their favorite music and then go youtube surfing! Thanks Amoeba!

[@johnmorgan4405]

same!

[@0satanisboring0]

I met Buzz as a teen outside of Amoeba in 2003. He had just bought a bunch of VHS tapes. Such a down to earth, easy to talk to guy.

[@ps.6023]

unlike Dave Ghrol.

[@TehGoldd]

can you shut the fuck up

[@nickfanzo]

0satanisboring0 you were a teen in 2003?!?! fuck im old..

[@ps.6023]

its true

[@TehGoldd]

whats wrong with dave "ghrol"

[@jessicamoore1314]

I love how normal and nice they are to each other. 😅I was expecting some sort of obscure world music and we got mainly the Stones, the Runaways and Miles Davis. 🤘🏻

[@shocklobster]

One of my favorite things about this band is just seeing them interact in side-shit like this, and they all just seem like such good, steadfast friends. With how some of my other favorite bands just melt down and blow apart because of "creative differences", which is usually a euphemism to cover up for bitchmade drama driven by self-interest, it's great to see a group just hang together like this.

[@Oliver_Hallowee]

Agreed. So evidently the best of friends.

[@LinkToon000]

Melvins were like the 3 stoner dudes in high school that everyone knew but never really talked to

[@Hal9000ize]

Best description of them TBH

[@remybienko1026]

stoners gone straight edge, I gotta say.

[@TheGoldDragon100]

Brody Armstrice True. Still, gotta love Melvins.

[@remybienko1026]

+Ongo Gablogian, Mind you, if not for their straight-edge thingy, they might not have stayed together till today. Melvins have been around for twice my lifetime, and keep getting better. It just reminded me of what Buzz said one one of his Interviews about pot helping with focus: "definitely. First they focus on the TV. Then they focus on the fridge." I'm not against weed in any way, but damn :D Whatever they do, it works well for them. Melvins are a living legend.

[@ps.6023]

except Kurt Cobain Dave Ghrol and Krist talked to them a lot and Kurt Idolized them.

[@MisterLuggage]

Steve Albini would be AMAZING on this show

[@remybienko1026]

I totally second this. Would love to hear him ramble about the records' history, the labels, the scene and the lack thereof, and whatever else. And he's got some obscure music taste. Though I doubt that he would accept the invite, given his busy schedule.

[@GFEBMX]

yeah do that

[@UndisputedUFC]

If there's one comment on KZbin that needs to be acknowledged, it's definitely this one! Steve Albini is a must

[@bernhardsart]

Abso-fucking-lutely!!!!!!

[@spacewurm]

Albini would just put stuff in his sack to insult.

[@lindalinda0316]

Always appreciate What's In My Bag, but this edition is particularly awesome; love how they geek out over the early Stones stuff...seem like nice guys who'd be fun to hang out with.

[@jbeckmann6145]

damn, Buzz is a generous cat. Just an all round good dude

[@TheRoroCuz]

I'm a simple man. I see amoeba "What's in My Bag" & The Melvins, I click like. Also shout out to On The Corner. Highly underrated.

[@solomonophonic9103]

[@KatiaIg.]

[@michaelhudson2912]

@@pashadyne that's not surprising. They come from the punk scene, not really metalheads apart from liking a few bands, from what I've gleaned from interviews anyway.

[@michaelhudson2912]

@@pashadyne I know what kind of bands MA includes and excludes. Melvins were always a metal band with a small 'm' to me, i.e., there's metal in there but it's just one element among many. I'd be willing to bet that Buzz doesn't listen to much metal outside of Sabbath, 70s Priest, maybe a little Motorhead, I think he's mentioned Celtic Frost/Hellhammer and Venom too. Maybe Voivod. Basically, the metal bands that punk dudes listened to in the 80s. I highly doubt he listens to too much thrash on the regular or any death or black metal for that matter.

[@michaelhudson2912]

btw, plenty of metalheads who are into doom like Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus and Trouble don't really give a fuck about the Melvins lol. Some do but generally more 'traditional' metal guys aren't listening to them much.

[@theballadofamixtape]

Excellent taste from an excellent band!

[@shacktime]

One of my all-time favorite memories: going to Disneyland on a whim with some friends to give the place a go on acid and ending up in a long ass line for Space Mountain with Buzz Osborne in a Blondie t-shirt to keep us company and pass the time. It’s quite a story. And he’s right on about “On the Corner.”

[@hyperventilatinggeek]

These guys from the Melvins and J Mascis are giving me a load of hope lately because they're punk/hardcore guys who loved the Rolling Stones. I don't see many people, especially my age (22) who dig the Stones like me, and think it's as good as punk rock. Exile is my fav too Buzz!!

[@joshuapittman4663]

Although it’s been 5 years I’m currently 21 and I love the stones and Beatles and just about everything punk/hardcore. Absolutely love the Melvins and Dinosaur Jr (mainly the 1st 3 records). I listen to just about everything though…

On the Corner is probably one of Miles Davis most controversial records and considering how many experiments records he made in his later period, That's saying something.

It's cool how it inspired a lot of other artists. In particular artists in the Post-Punk genre like The Pop Group and This Heat.

[@OldSethOnetooth]

I bought it after seeing Ron Mael of Sparks recommend it in a copy of Mojo and it really didn't disappoint, the intro is amazing and all the jazz critics hated it.
