The Melvins Thread

It's a small theatre I haven't even heard of but your logic is sound.

It's says 'Over 20 tickets left' which could mean 21 or 500.

It's only $80 anyway.

I can't seem me getting from work to the airport to the 'Gong by the time he goes on.

I'm happy buying you the ticket though. Have a beer for me. Double fist - it'll be like Tuesday night at your joint, without the sobbing.

We could always drive down to Canberra Saturday and stay the night, you could bus straight back to Sydney on Sunday.

Not a bad idea.

Now I've discovered a brand new day slammed straight after the day I thought it was and the day it is, let me consider my options.

It wouldn't feel right unless I chilled at your joint for a few days anyway. You know, wash your dishes, rub my semen into your carpet.

I can't be the only one who's anxious to see this thread get bumped for anything OTHER THAN the goddamn acoustic business, right? I WANT THE DOUBLE-DRUM FOURSOME BACK AND I WANT IT RIGHT THIS INSTANT.
Did you read the post a week ago where they said they had an album out in October?

What? Clearly I did not.

Just got back from seeing King Buzzo in SF. It was an excellent show, and he owned the stage.

As mentioned in the Random Thoughts thread earlier, it looked like he might be playing to a pretty small crowd, but that turned out to be a false alarm. By the time he took the stage, there was a very respectable and receptive crowd.

Great mix of Melvins and "This Machine Kills Artists" tunes, plus one Alice Cooper cover. He also regaled us with a "Pointless Story" about Iggy Pop and swore us to secrecy that he'd be back to the Great American on October 20th with the Melvins, touring on that new album Hellboy mentioned above. But don't bother asking him about it, he'll just deny it. It was a bit too short of a set for me. One of those shows where he left us wanting more, but quite satisfied at the same time. If you have a chance to see him on this solo tour, don't hesitate.

Thanks Kittaan. I have passed your message of 'don't hesitate" onto the bloke. It's a Wednesday night here so he was querying me.

Kittaan, did he confirm in any way that it was the "foursome," or is it another line up?

He didn't give any more details, but I was stoked that he revealed when he'll be back in SF. That has not been announced yet.

I mean, any Melvins is good Melvins. But I have a strong hankering for the double-drum foursome because let's face it... it's the best.

I wonder if the Iggy story replaced the one about Dave Grohl, or did he tell that one as well?

Post by **Kittaan** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 5:09 pm

Replaced it. He gave us a "choice" of an Iggy story or a Mike Patton story. But he had already decided on Iggy. He said that it happened during a Fantomas tour, so in a way, we were also getting a Patton story.

I think he's telling different stories at each gig. If anybody wants, I can try to give you the gist of the Iggy story. It's pretty amusing.

The last time I saw them play here in Pensacola, it was with Melvins Lite and he told a really funny story (because there was a tech malfunction too, so this was odd and off the cuff which made it so much better) about the first time they played here, and everyone but him and Dale eating acid and going to jail.

Buzz is super funny and charismatic. Great front man in a very non-traditional way.

Loved how he prowled the stage. And goddamn does he sweat a lot. Everywhere (presumably... I didn't check).

Hey Kittaan, glad to know you enjoyed the show. I'd been watching a few videos of the tour and the Dave Grohl story seemed to be a standard. Good to know he's mixing it up.

A couple nights before your show Buzz was having some problems with a guy in the audience:

Post by **Kittaan** » Wed Jun 18, 2014 4:43 am

Well, that was unfortunate. Looks like it really threw Buzz off for a bit. He was much more relaxed and into it in SF. Still he handled the situation well.

One other observation: The vocal effects on the album were a little over the the top. He toned it down live and the songs really benefitted from it. Still dig the album quite a bit, and growing on me with repeated listening. CDs were only $10 at the gig, which is very reasonable. Bought a couple for friends.

I presume my copy is in the mail then.

Post by **Kittaan** » Wed Jun 18, 2014 4:50 am

You snooze you lose! Already delivered... plus the postage would be more than the disc cost!

EDIT: Hey you never answered my offer on the Guthrie show...

So glad you enjoyed the King, mate.

I wasn't sure how to approach your comment leading up to the gig as I had things in my head; but nice. Glad you enjoyed it.

Still thinking about it. It's on an awkward night for me, so I'll need to wait a little closer to the event before determining if I can get a leave pass for the night.

Come on, mate. It's the King.

Post by **not tyson** » Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:32 am

He's talking about Guthrie

Post by **hellboy** » Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:33 am

I already have a King Buzzo ticket!
