I thought when I met him a year after this interview, with a goatee, he looked like an evil version of a sesame street muppet like Oskar the Grouch lol. Funniest dude too.
Hahaha what in the actual fuck is going on with the courtroom sketch artist and the fucking Melvins!?! This is gold, I miss the 90s. Makes no sense and that's the best part. My acid is kicking in... Hard 🤙🏻
I think this was right around the OJ trial, so courtroom sketch artists were a normal part of life I guess lol. I had to think about it because I was wondering wtf was going on too...that's my best guess, could totally be wrong :)
This has to be one of the most awkward and best performances of all time. One of the heavies rock bands killin' it in what looks like someones living room, to a crowd of folks whom have no idea what they're seeing…there's an Amish dude playing bass…they had to whittle down Dale's kit so he didn't damage anyone's eardrums hahaha…classic Melvins. LOVE IT!!!!!!!
I hope someone reads my comment because those audience members doing their head bobbing thing reminded me of Will Ferrell & Chris Kattan in *A Night at the Roxbury*
That was their sting when they were playing 10-15 second intros and outros on a music show in my country in 1996 - it worked so damn well!! I've still got that set list
I love Mark's getup. It's like Buzz and Dale were out a bass player. They were also out in the countryside. All cows, Amish people, cowboys, farmers. Buzz sees this cowboy jamming out on his bass infront of some pigs. The pigs are digging the deep tones of this dude's bass. And at that point: Buzz and Dale knew that this dude would be their bass player just for a little. Then they'd get another one later. Of course. I'm high.
I love how a bunch of the big wigs are trying to pretend they're versed in the music and pretending to be into it while the other half are looking on completely flabbergasted and confused.
Haha, they destroyed Probst in the interview portion. Melvins were all about being straight forward and not giving a squirt of piss what anyone thought!
This is awesome in all of it's worn-out VHS glory, Can you imagine if they did something like this on a show today? The soccer moms of the world would shit bricks sideways. The 90's were awesome because rock music really played a large part in the decade.
***** The thing that makes this and many other videos of 20 years ago so good, is the nostalgia behind it. It was a simpler time. The internet was still relatively new enough that people didn't allow their lives to be constantly consumed by it like we do today. Cell phones were still for the wealthier people. And people congregated in person, and not on a social networking site. The biggest problem I see over the past 10 years, is the technology that has literally taken over us. Technology has taken the physical contact out of the equation. The emotion too, if you will. People don't know how to communicate with each other, nor do they know how to understand one another...or even take a joke. The sense of humor has indeed eroded over the past 10 years. People take themselves and everything else far too seriously these days. Forgotten what it was like to have fun, and somehow have become scared of their own shadow. As for bands all sounding the same these days... It goes right back to technology. Everything is digital now, and with that, everything is easily manipulated. Photo, video, and most certainly audio. We can make anything sound and look like we want with digital technology. So, when one band is selling downloads like crazy, it's easy for record companies to make digital carbon copies of that band with another band using the same carbon copied producers. Hell, there are even guitar profiling amplifiers (Kemper profiling amp) that allow one to digitally copy a guitar tone. How long before we have vocal profiling equipment that people can use in the studio and even live? The individuality was lost the moment video and audio recording went full digital. Music has become far too polished and far too blah. I've gotten to the point to where I don't even listen to radio anymore. Tired of being inundated every day with the same 10 bands that all sound alike. Ironically... As I'm sitting here bitching about technology...it is the same technology that allows me to watch the old videos I loved many years ago. lol
***** I went through the digital phase with my guitar effects and what-not. Found that the more I added in terms of digital effects and processing, the more digital it sounded overall. The only part of my rig that is tonally digital now is digital delay. Otherwise, my rig actually consists more of tube rack preamps than anything else. I'm a tube preamp junky, because I get bored with the same tone and like a lot of versatility. The preamps I currently use are Marshall JMP-1, Mesa Triaxis, and Engl E570 running through a Fryette 2/50/2 power amp. My preamps, while they are analog preamps, they use digital interfaces for controlling and settings storage...and I control those and my few stompboxes with a digital MIDI controller. Basically... I like a raw analog tone with the convenience of digital for programming and controlling it all. When I record, which is rare these days, I do it on analog reel-to-reel media to get a natural tape compression. I then send that analog recording that into my digital workstation and then do my edits (instead of cutting and splicing tape like the old days), but I don't manipulate or overdub the original recording at all. It's a lot of work to do it this way as opposed to just plugging into my digital workstation and recording directly, but it keeps a sense of warmth that seems to get lost when going direct into a digital recorder or computer. Maybe it's just me...
SO HAPPY someone saved and uploaded this!!! THANK YOU UPLOADER!! ...I just wonder what ever happened to that old man's sketch... Probably worth a TON of money right now if it still exists.
REVOLVE was one of the 5 best songs of the 1990s. Those 3 mid 90s Melvins albums (Houdini, Stoner Witch, and Stag) are still in the A list part of my record collection.
Only in the 90s. Love it. I remember staying up late in high school and watching this show just for the bands they had. They would never put a band like the Melvins on a music show like that nowadays.
That's cuz the mainstream didnt know wtf was going on at the time. anything that was weird or related in some way to other bands would sometimes get a time slot filled in on some show between duran duran and whoever the fuck else.
heavy, tight, melodic. also, this is the weirdest video. the doofas in the blazer is like if ben stiller from reality bites hosted a music show (fwiw ben stiller's actual music video show on MTV was pretty hilarious).
also if by saying kurt cobain co produced houdini, you are saying its a producers job to shoot up and leave the band for the rest of the session. no offence to kurt cobain, I like his music. also lori black was credited for playing bass, but wasnt she kicked out by the time houdini was recorded?? in my mind it was Dale and buzz by themselves recording and producing their own album
Saw them in 93, opening for the Breeders and Nirvana, which was the In utero tour and sadly enough Nirvana's last one. 1993 Ogden Utah was were it was.
I saw them a few nights ago. Buzz’s hair is greyer and he’s put on a few pounds but they still sound the same. Super sharp. Lots of energy. Loud. Dale was amazing, and it was his birthday.
TrackHead Studios right, glad someone else sees that, good band but they seem socially insufferable, probably cost them tons of opportunity, they say they dont care about money just respect but the rub is money Is respect
I think the crowd is into it. You didn’t hafto put on your black flag / misfits costume to let people know you were enjoying the music....probably 10 tattoos in the audience... + the situation was odd...
It said Melvins has been making beautiful music together since 1981. I think beautiful is the wrong word. Maybe heavy wicked music would be more apropiate
This looks like it was shot o the set of the Cosby Show with a bunch of Cosby Show extras (Vanessa's college schoolmates?) rounding out the audience. lol
Thanks for uploading this, I have been wanting to see even a tiny bit after a memory of it flooded back to me recently. I may have even seen this live, I used to watch this show very regularly as a teen. Great band to have on, miss these days. And, Jeff Probst?! I didn't remember that he was on this show, pretty cool.
Maybe the host saying Stoner Witch was a normal style album inspired them to do Honky next? Also the whole bit about the rider, I had a friend who was backstage at one of their shows in the `00s at the Knitting Factory, they did have an extensive vegetarian (maybe vegan?) rider iirc haha. Was so lucky to see and interview them a year after this in 1996, absolute legends.
get into it random people with a vague understanding of groove, and then draw a picture of the Melvins, oh my Radioactive Sun GOD! this is the best thing ever!
ahhhhh that Custom Black beauty of honor is just.... fucking Epic hate that he stop using that mighty Ginson years after this i guess is cos it got too heavy for him?? but hey he still got that crazy palmer Wizard hair
Was the idea that the show was supposed to feel like a David Lynch movie? If the in house portraitist made more dog noises when he gave them the drawing it would have been perfecto.
Hes so pissed he didn't get as famous as Nirvana, then he tries to act like he didn't want to be big. Miserable douchebag. Did you watch the one where he brags about being rude to Dave Grohl for no reason?
Dale Crover is a fucking god on drums.
I thought when I met him a year after this interview, with a goatee, he looked like an evil version of a sesame street muppet like Oskar the Grouch lol. Funniest dude too.
Amen brother
Yep and a nice dude
Hahaha what in the actual fuck is going on with the courtroom sketch artist and the fucking Melvins!?! This is gold, I miss the 90s. Makes no sense and that's the best part. My acid is kicking in... Hard 🤙🏻
tf you are righ wtf is going on in here
+Thunder_pickle. And, how old are you?
Old enough to remember good acid, ask your mom.
@@thunder_pickle6887. Early-20’s it is.
I think this was right around the OJ trial, so courtroom sketch artists were a normal part of life I guess lol. I had to think about it because I was wondering wtf was going on too...that's my best guess, could totally be wrong :)
I think I've just witnessed a bunch of people headbanging for the first time.

AND Jeff fucking Probst is there randomly
I hope someone reads my comment because those audience members doing their head bobbing thing reminded me of Will Ferrell & Chris Kattan in *A Night at the Roxbury*
Yeah, because you know what she's REALLY into smh
@@ddmaxwell1024 ,
What... Cock?
@@FlamSalad I was there too.
Wow I just realized the Melvins are the best band ever.
It's OK. At least it happened, better late than never!🥲
Jesus Christ, Revolve rocks so ridiculously hard.
That was their sting when they were playing 10-15 second intros and outros on a music show in my country in 1996 - it worked so damn well!! I've still got that set list
One of the most underrated bands of all time
Absolutely true.
Bullshit... I rate them highly.
Hardly underrated
@@kellygordon103 Unfortunately, no one gives a crap what you rate them....but you are correct!
The most important underestimated band.
Proof that the 90s were the most amazing decade ever
😂
A lot of the people look like they belong on full house
words cant describe how ridiculous and great this is.
It's melvins incarnate
1:55 Probably goes home his moms like "Hows the melvins concert" and hes all like "It was pretty intense"
@Dave It wasn't A Concert. It was a Situation.
i know... i love nirvana, but that whole scene wasn't all about kurt cobain, these guys inspired him to even get into a band!
Nirvana sucks
The fact they played Goose Freight Train on national TV shows how much they cared about catering to the audience.
>crowd staying for duran duran tribute
Buzz has a killer voice!! His vocals takes his riffs to another level. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nothing beats the Amish look on stage
Hahahah gold
This is like some weird piece of performance art
I love Mark's getup. It's like Buzz and Dale were out a bass player. They were also out in the countryside. All cows, Amish people, cowboys, farmers.

cool beans
Cowboy bass player reminds me of the cowboy bass player from The Birthday Party.
best comment
Mark was a great fit for them
@@Apemopo seems like a real dickhead comment to make. I hope that in the last 3 years, you've reflected upon this. And are a different person today.
I love how a bunch of the big wigs are trying to pretend they're versed in the music and pretending to be into it while the other half are looking on completely flabbergasted and confused.
The master level trolling is strong with them...lol
What a weird era
it was an honor to grow up in that era
Driew in fucking reverse... lived it forward bro. Sorry you missed out.
The 80-90s were the greatest.
It was a great era.
The RockinJunkieShow Um, yeaaah
It looks like they're performing inside Alan Partridge's house.
The fastest version of "Revolve" I've ever heard.
i want that sketch
The Melvins can come play in my conservatory, then eat some scones. More tea vicar?
This great comment has gone criminally unnoticed for too long.
"MELVINS HAVE BEEN MAKING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER SINCE 1981"
WTF?!
I was just thinking tonight "holy crap, Melvins have been around 40 years now"... Hell fucking yeah!
@@redherronrecordsbeautiful sweet baby makin music 😂😂
Probably the best episode this show ever had. No wonder I'd never heard of it.
Love how it's a big deal that someone in the audience takes a photo.
The awkward head bobbing is the best.
Is that Jeff Probst!? survivor host. Melvins Rule!!!!
Haha, they destroyed Probst in the interview portion. Melvins were all about being straight forward and not giving a squirt of piss what anyone thought!
Yup
melvins you have been voted out of the tribe haha lol.
In this video....Overly-self conscious white people awkwardly bobbing their heads and one black chick pretending she likes the music.
+smirch Lights are on and they're all probably sober. It was probably really awkward. Should have had a kegger first!
+smirch Haha at 1:42.. that was weird as hell!
+smirch awkward venue
Wtf is your problem they rock you just have a stick up your ass
+Ernesto Torres mainly the crowd
the things i would do to get that kodak picture of jeff probst with the melvins....
Dale Crover’s a BEAST on that minimal kit!!
theres nothing you can really say about these guys, they just simply rock >.

WarmothGuitarist I guarantee this would be better well received in 2017 than 1995
the 90's sucked shit actually, rock music was lame as fuck and all the other stuff was eurobeat pop.
it always sucks
SO HAPPY someone saved and uploaded this!!!
THANK YOU UPLOADER!!
...I just wonder what ever happened to that old man's sketch... Probably worth a TON of money right now if it still exists.
I love stumbling across this. Just saw them (again) this week as part of their...40th anniversary tour! Amazing! Such great musicians.
the drawing guy rocks as much as the melvins do!!!!
That era that everyone liked heavy music... Miss you, 90s
Dale "I'm actually Neil Young's younger brother but shhhhh" Crover.
Lords of the road. True "whatever-rock" band. One of a kind.
Melvins is so awesome that even il maestro Ennio Morricone is just sitting by quietly making sketches of them @ 4:44
Gems like this are what make TH-cam fantastic!
Buzz looks like he could’ve been one of josh’s disguises on the theatre thug episode of drake and josh. if you know you know
REVOLVE was one of the 5 best songs of the 1990s. Those 3 mid 90s Melvins albums (Houdini, Stoner Witch, and Stag) are still in the A list part of my record collection.
One of America's great bands! Great upload!
oh god theyre actually playing goose freight train now hahahaha sorry for bombing the comments
0:40 Performing “Revolve”
5:19 Interview/Goofing Around
11:02 Performing “Goose Freight Train”
Dale could make a 3 piece drum set sound like a 30 piece set.
Only in the 90s. Love it. I remember staying up late in high school and watching this show just for the bands they had. They would never put a band like the Melvins on a music show like that nowadays.
jondubb35 cause music shows don't exist you clod

@@Justiceisahero did you steal that insult from Steven universe?
Cool to see that Buzz's sense of humor has not changed over the past 22 years.
Weird how the little coastal town of Aberdeen WA turned out some great musicians. Nirvana, Melvins, Pat Simmons of the Doobie Brothers.
As a drug user I'm offended lol
The sketch artist for the event. Love the 90's.
Did these guys seriously just invite some ppl in the neighborhood over to watch melvins play in their living room
he is a crazy good guitarist
Buzz always has such a great attitude when he plays. You can tell he does not care where he is or what anyone thinks. He just kills with the music.
He’s an annoying douche a lot of the time.
I watched FX a lot during this time, AND was an avid Melvins fan, yet I’d never knew about this until now!
Pleasant surprise
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
i'm now totally supporting the theory that buzz osbourne is actually jack osbourne. or the other way around.
heavy, tight, melodic. also, this is the weirdest video. the doofas in the blazer is like if ben stiller from reality bites hosted a music show (fwiw ben stiller's actual music video show on MTV was pretty hilarious).
3:28 who the hell was singing?
11:27
Dale was
...The drummer has a headset mic
The coolest dude with all the talent is the sketch artist... Yea!!!
Jeff Probst went on to host a little underground program called Survivor
also if by saying kurt cobain co produced houdini, you are saying its a producers job to shoot up and leave the band for the rest of the session. no offence to kurt cobain, I like his music. also lori black was credited for playing bass, but wasnt she kicked out by the time houdini was recorded?? in my mind it was Dale and buzz by themselves recording and producing their own album

Y isn’t this real life anymore?

Luckyyyyyyyyy.

I love the Melvins... but they are their own worst enemy. Too bad, yet so good. Fuck. What is the answer? The question. Or otherwise.
TrackHead Studios right, glad someone else sees that, good band but they seem socially insufferable, probably cost them tons of opportunity, they say they dont care about money just respect but the rub is money Is respect
This is the best TV Show i've ever seen
Lmao everyone looks so confused
Love the guy in the KISS t-shirt. You know someone told him a heavy rock act was coming so he went out and bought the first band shirt he could find.
Maybe not,the Melvins have several covers of Kiss songs.He is a hardcore fan from both bands,i like to believe in that.
Buzz is a guitar beast. Dale is a drum beast. Kevin plays slide bass.
That´s Mark on bass guitar
look at all the MTV vjays trying to act cool and pretend they like the Melvins
One rocking, nearly radio-friendly jam to begin with, one self-indulgent wtf song to end with. Melvins strike a perfect balance.
This is one of the greatest performances ive ever seen. buzz is making everyones life worse for the sacred creation of craic
this is the epitome of awkward...I love it. Rock on Melvins!
I think the crowd is into it. You didn’t hafto put on your black flag / misfits costume to let people know you were enjoying the music....probably 10 tattoos in the audience... + the situation was odd...
DIO TED NUGENT AND ZZ TOP are just some of Melvins' influences.
Nailed it.
I still have trouble deciding whether this was misinformation fed to them by the band or if they actually are influences.
This is SURREAL...
Is that Jeff Probst from survivor? Wtf haha.
Just the right amount of awkward.
It said Melvins has been making beautiful music together since 1981. I think beautiful is the wrong word. Maybe heavy wicked music would be more apropiate
This looks like it was shot o the set of the Cosby Show with a bunch of Cosby Show extras (Vanessa's college schoolmates?) rounding out the audience. lol
what great talented young men, they could be the next Fall Out Boy for sure!
Metallica need at least 2 more guys to get even close to this level of awesome.

Man, I remember watching this show at like around midnight back then. They would also review albums.
I've seen a lot of us Melvin crowds
This one hands down is the strangest one of all.
The ridiculous 90s dancing was just hilarious. That was almost more ridiculously awesome than the actual song.
I didn’t see any “90s dancing”.
ahhhhh that Custom Black beauty of honor
is just.... fucking Epic
hate that he stop using that mighty Ginson years after this
i guess is cos it got too heavy for him??
but hey he still got that crazy palmer Wizard hair
