Melvins: Influences

Melvins: Influences

Known for their sludgy riffs and doom-grade heaviness, Melvins worship thundering bands like Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath and Black Flag. But the long-running metal pranksters have always copped to more offbeat inspirations as well, including the wild rock 'n' roll of Jerry Lee Lewis, the Brit Invasion rabble-rousing of The Who, and the punk attack of the Sex Pistols.
