Here in New Orleans the heavy bands 100% credit the Melvins as the biggest inspiration to the sludge sound we're known for now. Thanks Buzz

They're one of only a tiny handful of bands that can lay claim to creating grunge (and also "sludge" in Melvins case). One of the least known, most influential bands of all time. All modern heavy music stems in some way from something Melvins did.

I think people should ask Buzz / Dale less about Nirvana, if at all lol. They've paved their own career, pre-dating, and obviously outlasting the band. I love Nirvana. LOVE Nirvana, but The Melvins are their own band with their own legacy, putting out a thousand albums, singles, still cutting vinyl, doing countless shows. Ask them questions about what they're doing now. This is obviously more relevant considering the connection of Cobain and Houdini, but I mean in general lol

I remember when The Melvins opened up for Helmet in St Louis. They did an in shop gig earlier that day at vintage vinyl. My friends and I we're asking them to play honey bucket. Buzzo said come to the show. We already had tickets, so when we were at the show, they played honey bucket even faster than the studio and the pit went nuts. One of the many good times at Mississippi Nights.

my story with this album it starts when a sophomore old friend challenged me to play the honey bucket intro (i play drums) when i first listen that i went speechless. I really didn't understand how it's possible play an intro for a song like that and at that moment i accpet the challenge, for almost a month i get stuck on the kit of school and the one's i have at home Later in a band rehersal with him in the room i played the shit out of that intro and now he went speechless, i earn his whole respect as a drummer after that Then i start to listen the whole fking album and the riff tones, the tough hits on drums and sludge atmosphere (the lyrics not so much cause i get it more like internal jokes around the band or something) got me through a endless spiral, even i tattooed the two headed dog on my right arm cause it's just something that i can't just get out of my body. It gets stuck forever on my inner core So i want to thank buzz and dale for making one of the greatest pieces of art and influences on my music taste and sounding fits so well in every mood or every moment i've going or went through

Lorax and Buzz were dating in the 80's. She was in the band Clown Alley with Mark Deutrom ( who replaced her on bass ) before being in Melvins. Read some stuff about her struggles with Heroin. It had to complicated for sure.

Melvins Lite with Trevor Dunn is just too perfect. Houdini is still a classic (like everything from the Melvins) 🎉

saw them on tour with that album in Missoula. I hadn't seen them live before and I was blown away by the dynamic psychedelic parts of that show . So good .

Melvins never disapoint. Saw them in mid 90s with White Zombies Astro2000 tour. Melvins were perfect live.

Visiting my cousin in St.Paul, me, my dad, my cousin and uncle saw the Melvins open for Kiss in I think the summer of 1996 at the Rosemont Horizon, we came for Kiss because my uncle and dad were huge Kiss fans we all didn't know who the Melvins were. When they came out and played our jaws fell open, my dad leaned over and said "Man, this band is awesome! Their like a Black Sabbath with shorter songs!" Kiss was cool, the band didn't seem to get along and seemed to be playing for money, the Melvins stood out, all of us that night became Melvin fans.

I saw that show in Memphis. First time seeing MELVINS. I had just become a fan not even 12 months earlier. I've seen them about 2 dozen times since.

"I don't need anybody to write songs for me" -Buzz Osbourne Probably the only statement I can agree 110% on as actual truth.

I keep having this recurring dream where I'm the master of ceremonies in a deathmatch where we round up all the world's billionaires and they fight to the death in a football arena. Winner takes all. I usually have the 7 inch version of NIghtgoat blasting on a loop over the sound system. Seems like the perfect song for such an event.

I saw The Melvins with Ministry in 2022 - One of the loudest concerts I've ever been to. They were just in my city with Boris & Hatebreed/Terror/Jesus Piece played upstairs and saw Buzz & the drummer of Boris standing off the side if the stage watching Jesus Piece tear it up - Got to shake Buzz's hand quickly because he had to perform in the basement in 20 minutes. His hair is HUGE! 😆
