Melvins - 6. The Bloat/The Bit [Belfort - Eurockeennes 2003]

[@mindburger]

That bass!

[@romanval69]

The monsterous tone of a massively distorted bass is something else.

[@formerlyskidsinmyute]

Kevin is a legend

[@ozzydog33]

I've spent days watching Melvins shows on youtube and this is the best one yet. Good flipping grief

[@nstanifer28]

best lineup and best setlist era

[@reverandleroy]

There's something to appreciate about every bassist that's gone on a tour of duty with Buzz & Dale but fuuuuck Kevin is otherworldly.

[@elroddin76]

It would be rad to see Kevin back in with them for a round.

[@arekhautaluoma4276]

I think he did one show with them around when you commented? I know they did one show where there were some returning bassists. Either had something to do with the basses loaded album or the one off Cows reunion show that happened? Can't seem to recall. Definitely happened though.

[@DeanWesterfield]

Last two times I saw Melvins Kevin played bass on Nightgoat. So that made three basses.

[@nonethemiser]

I'm pretty sure Kevin's tuning on this one is M-L-V-N.

[@Nightgoat.]

@BroknJokr That bass tone during The Bloat is just perfect

[@The5F02]

that bass tone! damn!!

[@nathanhanson8986]

I wanna mount that bass above my fireplace.

[@bren1886]

I wanna mount that bass

[@makeithurtful]

this whole the best melvins performance captured on tape. Very raw, every song is a sidesplitter.

[@booitsnick]

It’s taken me almost 20 years to realize that the Les Paul custom buzz is playing only 5 tuners and 5 strings

[@higbyprigby9648]

And I think his OLD LP was/is fretless(?)

[@alt9162]

I wish this was the bass tone for the album version of The Bloat

[@bobbymcguire4615]

you've found it, the heaviest video on youtube.

[@muki3633]

Masterpiece

[@SirCambertHotJam]

Say what you will about the Melvins...but they're the fucking MELVINS. They are an amazing and inspiring band, and although they certainly are not the most unpredictable band out there, I have yet to see their act go stale. HAIL KING BUZZO! MELVINS FOREVER! 20 STUDIO ALBUMS AND RUNNING!! KEEP THAT SHIT COMING!!!!!!

[@BRUNOAZIZ]

Rutmanis rocksss!!!

[@pattonPwr]

melvins forever man

[@Nightgoat.]

@MAGOMAX1970 Thanks for the comment, I'm happy to share with other fans of this incredible band

[@immrnoidall]

I'm detecting some kind of witchcrafty musical spell stuff happening with the Melvin music. Sometimes the words appear to exist only for their sound ,not meaning. I like it.

[@bklmsoul]

hell fuckin yeah

[@cccarl]

T_HE BIT great live

[@saraivatoledo1842]

One of my favourite Melvins songs , and that is quite the statement given their prolific output and the decades I´ve been into them .

[@reverandleroy]

The Bit is partially Buzz's interpretation of "The Treasure Of Sierra Madre" mixed in with certain events of '90s pop zeitgeist. Prove me wrong... lol

[@alt9162]

Bass tone at 1:52 ... enough said

[@HLCSK]

I love this intro.

[@moecantileverjr]

I subscribed this rulez

this was uploaded, downloaded, uploaded again, downloaded again, and uploaded again.
You're missing out - the original sounds way better.

[@chriskozlowski902]

I have seen Crover in his underwear many times but not in a dress

THIS IS FOR COWS!

[@gabrielek2690]

Everything doesn't have to be perfect and polished in absurdum to be fantastic. Quite the opposite. The Melvins are the evidence.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

Shame the brown was gnawing hard at Kevin ( probably the speedballing which is deadlier ) cause he was the best bassist Melvins ever had .

[@TheSabado215]

Fucking A

[@auralfury]

[@Julio1jpg]
