I couldn't keep up with them over the long haul, but I've always respected their absolute rigidity to their rules—and defiance to anyone's expectations.
In a bathroom at a house I once lived in, there was a cassette player—there was always music on in that house—and someone popped Bullhead into it. I must have gotten ready to that album every morning for 3 or 4 months. No one wanted to change the soundtrack. Still my favourite Melvins album. The last time I saw them was in 2016, I think—invited by a former woman I thought I'd marry and now have long lost contact with. Went just because she wanted, left telling everyone, "Holy shit, they're still so good".
I've got a few shots I took of them in Austin, around 2006 or so, but this one is my favourite; something about the tear in the negative and Buzzo's hair, sums them up for me.
I enjoyed this read. Bullhead is one of my favourite albums.
Thank you! You have exquisite taste :)
