TS: Eyehategod -VS- Melvins

Melvins for me but I am biased.

what're you talking about its a great/awful name, not an awful/awful name

i'm beginning to think proximity to mike williams leads to heroin addiction (anselmo, BG).

melvins win, but eyelike eyehategod

the Melvins are fun! Eyehategod are only fun if you have a really hateful sense of "fun" which I do which is why I take EHG in this'n

I would actually put Khanate's most recent in the same vein as EHG, only Khanate dude is tryin' way harder that Mike, whose nihilism comes natch'ral

I like Confederacy and Take As Needed more than Dopesick but even the lamest Jimmy Bower side project is better than the entire Melvins catalog (which is still pretty good).

true!

We should have a thread where we just vote on if we like the name Eyehategod or not.

But I'll take the MELVINS for the sheer tightness of the SLUDGE.

both bands rule pretty hard.

IMHO: I'd take SOILENT GREEN over EYEHATEGOD

the first time I saw EYEHATEGOD was at Tipitina's in 1993 or so, on a weeknight. loud, sludgy, drummer used a floor tom in place of the snare. cute. they opened for a band called NIPPLES OF ISIS (a local junk-rock/Boredoms kinda outfit) who stole the show.

i saw the Melvins live a few years ago and preferred them. cause they have, like, chops and all. the tight sludge is the right sludge.

New Orleans had a monstrous metal scene there for a while: Graveyard Rodeo, Soilent Green, Exhorder, Bastard Child, Viril Nihils, Weedeater, etc.

it's the audio equialent of being thrown into a wall by a giant, repeatedly, and in sync w/ the drums...
Melvins by a country mile.

Dig Eyehategod, don't get me wrong, but agree that the're a one-dimensional band. Terribly limited by their narrow sonic/emotional range. They do what they do VERY well, and all bow down and cetera, but I just don't get anywhere near as much out of them as I do the Melvins.

One could argue that the Melvins are too goofy, and that they lack Eyehategod's intensity and integrity, and, in arguing this, I suppose that one would be right. But I don't care. I'll take brains, humor, balls and ROCK over "authentically" dopesick despair anyday...

Man, I got a free Eyehategod album back in the '90s through a friend of a friend and I don't know what happened to it. I think I got them confused with Head of David, which I got around the same time.

eyehategod by a country mile. one dotted with weed fields and meth labs.

live 1989

I like both. I've seen both. I own all the important records.

I will take Melvins in a landslide.

Big points for Mike punching some dude in the front row the first time I saw EHG (back in '96 opening for Neurosis; Dead & Gone opened.)

Bigger points for Melvins having the greatest living rock drummer. Bonham and Moon did not live long enough to get as good as Crover IS.

Like both but easily Melvins ftw

this is good. pretty much the eyehategod lineup give or take a couple guys

The first time I saw Eyehategod was in '96. They were opening for Neurosis on the Through Silver in Blood Tour. Dead & Gone were the openers. Jimmy had a bit St Vitus sticker on his amp.

Someone in the crowd mouthed off and Mike (EHG's singer) leaned forward and decked him with his free hand while singing into the mic in his other hand.

That was an awesome show.

big not bit

So funny that there's so much, er, hate for Eyehategod's name on this thread. I was thinking the same thing even before I read the first example of it.

haha nate, see 3 posts up

OMG What happened to the Melvins?

I saw that same tour in NYC, with Unsane also on the bill. I remember thinking Mike was gonna fall over any second, and if he did, his bandmates were just gonna leave him lying there. They were the scariest band (not Alice Cooper showbiz "scary," but genuine these-people-will-fuck-you-up scary) I've ever seen. And yet Dopesick (the album they were touring behind) is one of the greatest metal records of the 1990s.

diggin the outlaw order record

how is the first one??

Yeah, the new Outlaw Order really surprised me by how good it was, I wasn't really knocked out by their first one. For all its EHG similarities, though, it's lacking the presence that Jimmy Bower brings...that dude's a master of the sludgy, bluesy Sabbath riff.

I've always wanted to see these guys live, but there's no hope of them ever making it north of the border! Wish I was going to Scion Rock Fest...

'EYEHATEGOD' fan arrested in church break-in

Rochester Hills, Mich. (WXYZ) - Deputies from the Oakland County Sheriff's Department arrested 22-year-old Bradley Dishner Saturday morning for breaking into the St. Paul Albanian Catholic church on Auburn Road in Rochester Hills.

Deputies were called to the parish after a member of the church saw glass broken out of a door.

A man was spotted by a priest in the altar area of the church, but he ran out of the church and into the woods.

Deputies caught the man in the wooded area behind the church and took him into custody. He was wearing a t-shirt that read "EYEHATEGOD" on the front and back. It is the name of an American metal band. He told deputies he had been drinking and smoking marijuana before breaking into the church.

Dishner was arraigned Monday in Oakland County. He is currently in the Oakland County Jail.

Deputies say there was nothing stolen or vandalized other than the door.

new drummer, upcoming tour. i'll be going. the bill also has high on fire and c.o.c.

hey guys the new album is really good. i don't know if yall are talking about it on the rolling metal critic promo discussion and aspergers poll thread but we can talk about it here too. i think it sounds convincingly like ehg, even if "parish motel sickness" is kinda disco.

it is good. i like how the production sounds almost exactly like 'take as needed...'

back on tour w/ Mike, eh?

I'm takin a mini vacay to ATL cos Decapitated are there a few nights later, gonna catch em with Negative Approach!

the clip of that above mentioned "boat cruise" show, which I very well may have found via this board, is some George Romero shit
https://youtu.be/HQTJmetoGNo

so much going on in that 10 mins
