Ozma is still probably my favorite Melvins album, and an absolute classic. I don't think you've emphasized how convoluted Ozma's (and Gluey's) songs are; these strange sluggish punk tunes with left-field turns, dissonant chords, unusual time signatures - maybe the closest that the Melvins came to jazz rock, but still in the format of brief 1-2 minute songs. Just these little enigmatic blobs of disjointed riffs that came out of nowhere. Do you have an idea of how this impetus came to be, for the Melvins to start writing more abstract and technically demanding music like that?

I've always thought that Chief Ten Beers was a parody of Chief Ten Bears, featured in Dances With Wolves. And this should be obvious, but thanks for making the Deutrom era of (the) Melvins possible. Peak period of the peak band.

Very enjoyable and informative video Mark. I'm a Bay Area guy. RKL was a favorite so the first Alchemy release I bought was R'N'R Nightmare - saw the comic and thought Alchemy rules!! As a result I started buying all your release and this album was my introduction to Poison Idea, thought it had quite a metal edge. Was blown away first time hearing Pick Your King! Still have my original Melvins, RKL, Sacrilege, Clown Alley and a crazy Clown Alley/Rythym Pigs flyer from On Broadway with the jack in the box killer clown. BTW David Duran hell of a vocalist, he was great with Hemi!

I would say, for the understood sound of sludge metal - it's definitely Lori. There were others, though I'd be stretching the term - Sean Yseault's work on those noise rock White Zombie albums, particularly Soul Crusher, is pretty heavy and sludgy. Mick from Kousokuya is another - her playing on DEATH TRIP NIGHT, from 1982, is heavy and doomy, though 1. Who knew these guys in '82, barely anyone knows them now and 2. As heavy and doomy as they get, it's a lot closer to no wave than sludge metal. Still, if anyone didn't know these, you should check them out, because they are *really good*. Love this video, subbed to the channel. Saw you with Melvins a few times bitd - I loved your characters (the Mod being my fave). Had an "interaction" that wasn't great, but I chalk it up to the time - which wasn't great. This video is beyond informative and gets into real biographical detail which I find very compelling and, honestly, can't wait to watch more! Pardon the ramble!

Montecito has been an enclave for the rich since the beginning of the 20th century. There's a lady named Pearl Chase (Heir to Chase Manhattan Bank) that kind of created the culture around that. She was so wealthy that when Santa Barbara had an earthquake and fire in 1925, she paid to rebuild the city out of her own pocket.

Another thing about the flooring, they put boards down after that incident and at a Pantera show a few months later were picking the boards up and someone else would surf on it while it was being hoisted up. Damn, so wild, now ppl just start at they phones lol
Nice story ! I don't remember the "song" we played either...I had heard that the set was filmed but nothing has emerged yet. Different times to be sure....
@@MarkDeutrom I went to the WZ meet & greet 'after' that Dallas show, we were more interested in talking to Sean & J. I have the backstage pass still, so it was funny to hear the story about that. Saw you several times w/ the Melvins then and met you at the L7/Wool show at Deep Ellum Live. Everyone was beyond cool, like you guys, Pete signed my vinyl copy of Box Set and L7 took us on their bus to hang out, magical magical times ANYWAY thank you for doing all this content! My only question would be, if you from El Paso how/when/why you get up to Washington?
Saw them on the tour for ozma, late '88 at the mason jar in Phx. Another great female bass player from back then is Lisa Wells of The Honeymoon Killers. Saw them around that time at the Sun Club in Tempe and she was absolutely flying on a big red rickenbocker(saw the Melvins there to with Joe Preston on bass). Great shows...
Lori is super important to the Melvins story. An interview with her would be aces!
I saw the Show at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo on this tour! I loved your set at this show! I saw the Melvins play live quite a few times in the 90’s and into the early 2000’s. You were always my favorite bass player for the band. Such a cool vibe during the shows, that cowboy hat and just playing that bass like a laid back champion.
Hey thanks for the memory and for watching !
Please keep releasing more videos. Big fan, and I LOVE your content
Thanks for watching ! Maybe Madness might be a quality topic for discussion...
The sun tan story is hilarious. You tell quite the tales. Thanks
Can't really fault a grimy doom metalhead for wanting to catch a few rays...
