![]() Later, it was Osborne who introduced Cobain and Krist Novoselic to Dave Grohl. Kurt Cobain was a huge fan of Melvins in fact, he’d auditioned years earlier but was never asked to join because it was rumored he forgot the lines to the songs. Then, in 1993 they had an unexpected break. Over the next several years, the group recorded several albums and went through several lineup changes. The group’s next album, Bullhead, departed from their other albums since it featured slower and more drawn-out notes. Since Lukin stayed behind in Washigtonton, Lori “Lorax” Black replaced his bass. Three years later, Crover and Osborne relocated to SanFranciso. A year later, they recorded their first full-length album, Gluey Porch Treatments, released a year later on Alchemy Records. Additionally, they released four songs by the Melvins. ![]() In 1985, C/Z records released a video that documented the Washington music scene. However, after Dillard left and was replaced by Dale Crover, the Melvins started to discover its sound. During the group’s early days, they performed Jimi Hendrix and Who covers. They thought it was a ridiculous name for someone much like their musical style, the laughability of the word made it perfect for the group, and it stuck. According to IMDB, the group got their name from a Thriftway store supervisor Osborne disliked. The Melvins were formed in 1983 by Buzz Osborne, Matt Lukin, and Mike Dillard in Montesano, Washington.
