Mi chiamo Hopkins, sono il Generale Cacciatore di Streghe, la mia impotenza mi inganna, la tua bellezza mi fa impallidire, i venti infestano il villaggio, il fantasma di Satana risveglia il mondo che cade nell’oscurità, mentre lei si scioglie al rogo... yeah.

How clever you little punks are. It’s clear that you are truly superior.

Give it a try: download a random piece by Symphony X. Then, download a random piece by Sunn O))). They are both "metal," listen to them back to back and then tell me if it's the same genre or the same thing.

<< Assuming that the Melvins vary millions of times within an album (let alone from one album to another), how can you classify them as metal? >> But why, for you is Metal "A genre"? You have no idea what you’re talking about. So, the Manowar play the same stuff as Mammatus. So Electric Wizard plays the same stuff as Meshuggah. Indeed, they vary a lot; they can be categorized under "metal in general," without specifying any of the various, vastly different variations. << They create a genre that only they make >> You are profoundly ignorant. For every Melvins song, you can find some band that does something similar. If you don’t know Doom, Sludge, Drone, or at least a bit of anything that is "Heavy," beyond this fucking record of these fucking Flags, I don’t know what to tell you. You are limiting various musical styles to one record because you only know that one. << Just look at the covers they do… >> But what do you expect the covers to mean? So, since they did a version of Astronomy Domine… the Melvins derive from Pink Floyd. Come on, you’re only missing about a thousand "heavy" records of various types; if you commit yourself, you could catch up in 5 or 6 years.

"I said the Melvins do the Melvins" and that's one thing. The Melvins have done everything; they haven’t always done the same thing. "Go take a look in stores and tell me if Houdini is there! Okay?" But what are you going to do going around stores? You pay double for the CDs, you waste time looking for them, and then you have to carry them around too. It’s counterproductive. Anyway, the point isn’t "it's usually found in stores," the point is: "it's not out of print." I saw it in Milan, along with various others of theirs, at Virgin in London there's almost their entire discography, and if you really don't want to spend less and have it shipped to your home, then order it at a store. Buying CDs in Italy: it’s stupid, you pay 3-4 times as much.

"Okay, so if you say there is...there is." I say it? Look: Melvins Houdini Buy CD - Cerca con Google <-- At least they sell it on 300 sites. "In any case, yours are just your opinions and not the realities." Wow, this is from the anthology of 'thanks for nothing.' "That is to say, for me they don't make slurp metal." Neither do they for me. Can you read? Here, if there's someone who says the Melvins have done only ONE thing, it's YOU.

<< too elaborate to be metal >> This is fabulous. "Too elaborate to be Metal": it’s an astonishing contradiction.

<< ghermison lives in Bologna and even there he can't be found... strange case of life, don't you think? >> And what's the point? Houdini is not out of print. Period. It's available, it's still "in print," it's not sold out and it's even in "nice price." << How long has it been, 1 or 2 years? >> I felt good late, because they were friends of Cobain I snubbed them a priori like all grunge more than ten years ago. Rediscovered Buzzo thanks to Patton in '98 with Fantomas, rediscovered Crover with Porn thanks to Acid King, and bought the first Melvins album in 2003. << You still need to digest them enough >> What nonsense. They do very simple things, in fact, extremely simple. They vary a lot, that's for sure, but it's not like they produce bricks like Red (K)Crayola or similar. With a decent number of similar records listened to, you can digest the Melvins in two days. Of course, if you listen to NOFX before the Melvins it takes twenty years, but for Sludge, Stoner, Drone, and all Heavy in general, I already had my ears full enough not to be scared by Buzzo's four chords. What I like about the Melvins is that they are just so simple. But, super simple.

"So tomorrow you’re coming to take a look around Naples and tell me how many records you find in the store?" Ah, okay. So it works like this: if a record can't be found in Naples... well, it’s out of print. Obviously. Naples is the universal center for the record industry, it’s taken as a benchmark for the rest of the world. "Then if you’ve read that some critic..." I don’t buy music magazines, and I haven’t read “critics” of any kind for ages. "sludge speed dark symphonic metal" No one said that the Melvins do ONE thing, except YOU. The Melvins vary, from song to song, across many styles. You can find Hard Rock just as you can find the opposite. "For me, the Melvins are the Melvins." Wow, really? And here I thought they were doing Gazosa. "Sure you bought the whole Melvins discography online." Where I live, you can’t even find Metallica, so of course I bought them online, and I’m also proud to have the original discography of the Melvins. I’ve never bought a record in my country, in my whole life. "You’ve read a couple of crap...and draw your conclusions..." It’s not me attributing a statement made by Buzzo 20 years ago as if it were still reliable, after 20 years, 40 records, and hundreds of various collaborations. That’s you. Read less "crap," and diversify your listening.

<< Anyway, it’s true... it’s out of print! >> Absolutely findable, like all the discography of the Melvins. The only things that are really a bit harder to find are the three EPs "Dale Crover," "Joe Preston," and "King Buzzo," but those can also be found. Sure, not at the Auchan, but they are still available.
