Colossus Of Destiny

About

(from wikipedia) Colossus of Destiny is a live album by Melvin, which was released in 2001 through Ipecac Recording. It was recorded live Friday, December 13, 1998 at Club Mangler, Cupertino, California. It is nearly an hour of synthesizer and sample experimentation ending in a performance of the song "Eye Flys". It was reported that members of the audience were lying on the ground, covering their ears during this performance. The album was originally intended to be the third part of the band's 1999 album trilogy (The Maggot, The Bootlicker and The Crybaby) until the band came up with the guest star idea on The Crybaby. The name of the album is taken from the John Fante book The Road to Los Angele, in which the main character, Arturo Bandini, writes a book bearing the name Colossus of Destiny. 1. "Untitled" 59:23 2.

King Buzzo, Dale Crover, Korny Ass Joker, and Adam Jones This is a noise set, which alot of people claim to not enjoy. I love it however but if you don't like it don't blame me for the reccommendation. Korny Ass Joker is Kevin, and Adam Jones is the guitarist from Tool. Here is a description from someone who was there of the set: i was there. it was about an hour and then it turned into eye fly. it was so loud most people were holding their ear. my friends were lying on the floor in agony, only to be revived by an AMAZING second set. Dale was playing his set with the Ozma covers on the bass drum. anyway, it had Adam from Tool, it was just tons of noise, Dale had a guitar and a keyboard I think, Kevin had his back to us the whole time, I don't remember what Buzz was doing. it was basically just the loudest thing ever, pure noise. I can't imagine what it will sound like on CD, and if you'd ever want to listen to it more than once. I'll buy it of course. first time I saw them with Adam. I didn't know who he was and yelled and pointed "Who is that guy?" right before the 2nd night's set started and Buzz said "I don't know, I thought maybe you did." then the noise started. -aaron .
