(Drivebycuriosity) - Yesterday I watched a legend: The "Melvins". The pioneers of grunge and sludge metal from Washington State performed in the crowded @ Irving Plaza New York. Their show was outstanding, weird & explosive.
Buzz Osborne, vocalist and guitarist of the band, who started 1984 with psychedelic Cream & Jimi Hendrix covers showed the experience he had accumulated over all these years. Osborne, accompanied by drummer Dale Crover & bassist Steven McDonald, performed pure magic. He put his audience under his spell with violent riffs which were continuously accelerating & decelerating.
Melvins performed a melange of Rock and Roll and Heavy Metal. Beautiful but very heavy melodies
tilted suddenly into atonal & destructive sounds and culminated into
apocalyptic noise. Osborne´s mesmerizing guitar play & vocals -
combined with his spastic body language & eccentric look - created
an intense & peculiar piece of heavy metal.
Thank you "Melvins" for this very special experience!
