I take it "goat" means best. I'm old (50) & back in the day "goat" was the opposite. Like if a NFL team only has to kick a field goal with 2 seconds left on the clock to win the game you can say "Well the kicker is gonna be either the hero or the goat. We'll find out here in a few seconds..." But goat was derogatory. You f'd up and everyone is mad and/or disappointed in you that you screwed up the entire thing, etc.

The melvins are like that band that you love but always forget to mention when someone asks you what your favorite bands are. I cant ever figure out why that is.
After seeing them live , they are defintely one of my favorite bands. Watch the footage from Hellfest. Mind blowing. But I think I know what you mean in terms of their records. All their Ipecac recordings are hit or miss IMHO.
I went to Aberdeen highscool with Dale Crover . I always knew he was a musical prodigy. I also went to school with Krist from Nirvana and I definitely knew there was something special about him but I just couldn't put my finger on it. 😂🤟
Nothing can outdo the bass players Poltergeist II look.....andctge sketch artist cemented it......plus they're tight as hell.....and plus too. .....that rug really ties the room together. ....
I can't believe this freaky ass scene was an actual tv show. It definitely weird enough to just be a Melvin's video. Straight laced tv hosts, posers, burn outs, old man drawing, late night cook ware salesman all happening in grandma's living room. It was wonderful.
This video is a bit of a time capsule. A band from the future takes us back to 1995. The "audience" are paid employees being respectful, but obviously not quite ready to trust these travelers.
I miss the old public access channels. So much weird shit. I discovered Flipper on public access tv in San Francisco when I was like 15. Then a high school friend had a 30 minute show interviewing whatever thrash or hardcore band happened to be available, and there were plenty in late 80’s Bay Area. That lo-fi DIY ethic was pretty great.
This band has been so damn good for so damn long!!! I can’t believe I’m already 50 years old! BUT, I still have the Melvins with Buzzo and Dale to keep me right in the head!
This riff is inspiration for things like Lateralus..... Adam Jones (Tool) does credit Buzz Osborne as a silent hero in the before and after post 90's grunge/metal influences. Classic as fuck right here.
@@theninthheart8465 I think you're seriously underestimating how much Melvins influenced a LOT of incredibly popular bands. Tool toured with Melvins (and have recorded together as well), they were very much an influence.
@@theninthheart8465 Buzz also introduced (though didn't invent) Drop D to Mark Arm and Kim Thayill, who then introduced it to Jerry Cantrell. Also, Tool played on Melvins' The Crybaby. Bonus: Adam Jones and Buzz Osbourne had a side-project called 'Bleeder'. Pretty sure Terry Bozzio played drums on it.
I came across these guys playing spoon man and thought they did it just as good if not better. I just heard this song tonight for the first time and I would say it is definitely some of the best rock and roll I have heard in my 57 years of living. Way bad ass. These guys get with the program. They play hard and sound awesome
Because some broadcasts such as this are 1: film, 2: sent over the airwaves, and 3: recorded to VHS, probably with a low quality recorder. Everything in the 70's was usually tape unless broadcasted, but you see less broadcasted footage from back then, also tape is much easier to digitize without any distortions assuming the tape was properly preserved. So it's not that 95 had worse technology, it was just that TV was common in that time, and TV broadcasts weren't meant for the best quality.
Ive always thought the lyrics just needed deciphering. Ive come to the conclusion it is about a big booty black chick that seduced him stole his wallet and tie
Saw them open for Primus. I was a huge Primus guy, and had only vaguely heard of the Melvins. Walked out of the show just blown away by the Melvins and ended up seeing them every time they came to town.
Between the Amish bassist, the adults with disabilities audience, and the serial killer dude in the police hat, I feel like I've stumbled upon footage of an alternate dimension.
I’m just now getting into Melvins and this was the song that instantly hooked me. E verything about it is GREAT but it’s that rock-solid and infectious drum groove that just puts it over the top. ❤️
Same here ! First hearing December 2023, this song ! I'm in UK/England and have never heard nor seen them on TV or radio. Through the 1990's I photographed local indie bands, and I never heard anyone of my musician friends mention their name, or their records played at venues ! I've used the internet for 20 years and it's the first time they've come up as a suggestion. I'm happy to have found them, but I could have been listening and being influenced by them for the past 30 years !!@@davidsharp3456
Dale Knocking The Living Crap from his kit. Brilliant. Had the privilege of attending The ATP at Butlins all them years ago. Undoubtedly the best long weekend I've ever known.
I'm just beginning to scratch the surface on Melvins myself somehow, even though most everything I have heard up to now made me think I needed to do more of a deep dive on their catalog, but even with my limited exposure I've come across more than one warning about putting a "the" in front of their name. Apparently some people get more offended about that than if you had questioned their lineage. ;)
Stoner Witch is probably the most "accessible" Melvins' albums. It's very much a hard rock record. A lot of their other material can be challenging if you're not into sludgy experiment metal, but Stoner Witch is a great place to start.
Tiny drum kit, but great sound as always! I love Dale‘s drumming and also himself as a human being. Very nice bass playing by Mark Deutrom, who I never met. And, uuh, of course: Buuuuzzzzzz! Sorry for my English, I‘m from Jupiter, were I met The Melvins first. Sorry, that I'm here still and again. Three years later. For the 8.6 millionth time. But I can't get enough of this nice footage.
I'll make a better one for $38.75 and $16 shipping from any frame that you capture off of this video maybe I'll do a sketch painting bigger than 11 by 17.

I’ll start....Yeah nah, Its a little disconcerting seeing a heap of serial killers spiral out
@@carolinam.saavedram.7269 OMG, love this track but had the EXACT adjective in my head while watching this. Uber-Lynchian.
Looks like some public access show filmed at an urban commune run by an eclectic collective of radically inclusive anarchists. Just a theory tho...
Possible this was the show Breakfast Time

I still think there’s some points where buzzo just isn’t speaking english at all😂😂 especially on their first album and bullhead
@@rocketsauce420 Hooch is for me basically just sounds. Its lyrics basically destroy any conceptual framework.
0:24 - Bass slide into a bad-ass rockin' riff!!
Stoner Witch is my favourite Melvins release
At 53 I still love watching this vid. They frackin tore that room up!
That cowboy gag is too much... GO MELVINS!! Not every band can nail a live performance as pure and authentic as this one. 🎸 💯
Better than the studio version!!! Thats when you know they're a great band
The sound quality is lacking, but the energy sure as hell isn’t!
💯agree
Dale Crowder, one of the greatest drummers ever. He’s a beast
was wondering who he was thanks, late to the Melvins but they are the shit.
I've never wanted to start a mosh pit in someone's living room so bad.
one of the best live bands ever
Saw them open for Primus. I was a huge Primus guy, and had only vaguely heard of the Melvins. Walked out of the show just blown away by the Melvins and ended up seeing them every time they came to town.
Wow that Amish guy is really good at playing bass
It really is just too good didn't know they Amish! I love A mesh meals!!
doubt he's amish since he went electric!
That riff!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I recognize the look on the dudes face at 1:49, he is authentically impressed.
Then you have the guy in the police hat at 1:50 who thinks he's the coolest thing in the room.
Lmao my thoughts exactly. He’s the only one he looked to be seriously enjoying it.

The 90's, beautiful
Just saw the Melvins at the Ryman in Nashville 3/19/22 and they still kick all the ass.
This era of the band was incredible, at that point in time they kicked it harder than any other
Maybe the best live show in the whole youtube
The Melvins forever!
Fx was an absolutely amazing channel when it first started
They could play in my grandparents trailer and still be awesomeness
Saw them play this in 2015 with 2 drummers. Still remember losing my mind
this is the bases from so much grew and could still grow
This is my favorite Melvin's song
Original!
I'm in the reaction shots, nodding my head to the beat and smiling slightly

Great Performance 💪💪
I saw this tour in Atlanta! MELVINS Always Bring Down the House!!!
They rocked so hard on this show I’ve got to see these guys live !!
You really do. You almost can’t understand how good they are until you actually see them live. The energy they bring is undeniable
I seen em when they toured with Tool on the aenima tour in 1997 and they rocked harder than tool...buzzo was a fuckn machine.
The crowd is jammin w em and havin a good time...u wantin em to start a hurricane pit, thats not always required..
These dudes are badass
This absolutely slays 🔥
the best part about is this are the shots of the crowd, you can tell it hurts their soul to be there. hilarious
Kick arse.
So good
How did I not know about these guys sooner
Was watching a recent interview with Buzz, and he turned me on to The Wipers, a punk rock band out of Portland Oregon, in the 80s. You can hear the heavy influence they had on the Seattle music of the 90s. They are a great band.
Everybody that knows real punk and post punk know the wipers.
Check out “swell maps” from England, early 80s
I think you'd dig Toy Dolls.
