Metal Monday 19 - Featuring Kurt Cobain's fave band

Just about to get this on board in time to still be Monday!! Apologies to SUFC Al or Brettie Angell if they had something else lined up, but thought I'd get some stoner out to the masses.

The Melvins were formed in the early 1980s by Buzz Osborne (guitar/vocals), Matt Lukin (bass) and Mike Dillard (drums) who all went to High School in Montesano, Washington. In the beginning they played The Who and Jimi Hendrix covers, and also began playing fast hardcore punk. When Dillard left the band, Dale Crover joined, and the band's rehearsals moved to a back room of Crover's parents house in Aberdeen, Washington. Soon afterward, they started to play songs slower and "heavier" than nearly anyone else at the time.

Fellow Aberdeen resident Kurt Cobain (a good friend of Crover) was a huge Melvins fan and helped them transport their equipment to a few shows. Cobain also auditioned to join the band on bass, but he didn't make it, reportedly because he was so nervous that he forgot all the songs. Cobain maintained his relation with the band. Later he produced and played on some songs (guitar on "Sky Pup", percussion on "Spread Eagle Beagle") on the band's major label debut, Houdini.

From "Houdini", a rifftastic nonsensical track:

Not heard Boris, but with a name like that they must be awesome!!

I'm massively into the Melvins at the mo, no idea why it has taken me so long to risdiscover the joys of King Buzzo and the boys.
 
Good to have something a bit different from the death metal thrash! Definitely hear some influence on early Nirvana there. Good work sir!

My pleasure Mr Angell. Glad to educate the masses every now and again. This is my fave Melvins tune - incredible riffing and buzzing guitars. I have a few more gems up my sleeve if you guys need some more monday madness!

I find the major label stuff that they did in the early to mid 90s the best that they have done, which goes against most bands usual form. I've been told that their latest disc is incredible also though. Definitely worth checking out.
