Stuff that would keep Jules up at night. :evil:
Perhaps a live recording of a rare/unheard song burned on to usb flash drives?LIMITED VINYL..... :evil:
While this is a great idea, actually mastering music and pressing vinyl just isn't feasible. The costs are to high. I wish we could. I really wish we could.
Stuff that would keep Jules up at night.:x And I thought I'd reached the stage where I'd never have to think about working overtime.
:facepalm:
Do they design all these Melvins shirts with their eyes closed!! I like that there are lots of different ones for fans but if i was someone who wished to purchase them to actually wear, i would be crying out for something decent. The one above looks like something a 12 year old would be seen in! Although i do see that purely as a collectors piece it would be desirable.
There are some really great ideas here. I look forward to helping this get made. Hopefully there will be a NYC screening when it is finally complete.

I should start doing that. Problem is I live in a tiny condo so not too much space, plus it's like 10 degrees outside right now.That's why you should live in the clothes dryer, er desert! :wink:

I would wear that shirt for sure. Love Melvins and love Marvel Comics.
Ready to contribute at least $100 towards this Kickstarter. When does it start?

You want me to message you when it comes out? Like a Melvins alarm clock? :D
We haven't set an exact date yet as some prizes and price teirs are still being ironed out, but it's not to far off.

Thanks.
Here's the thing.
This design is a mock-up of a shirt we hope to have as a prize when we start the kickstarter for The Colossus Of Destiny: A Melvins Tale. We have no set date for when the kickstarter will launch, but it's not to far off.
Believe me, you all will know when it launches. I'll make sure of it.
I concurI believe you need to stay away from funding your own kickstarter.
No genious ideas like selling the shirt and put proceeds toward the kickstarter? To show those who contributed?
How about if you donate $40 or more you get a shirt. Sort like a tv fundraiser except you get a Melvins shirt instead of a tote bag. Then you could go up from there. $100 gets you a shirt, stickers, and your name in the credits. The prizes could be whatever, but you get the idea.
Sun Ra was RIGHT!

Is there gonna be a "big" donation to get EVERYTHING?

Is there gonna be a "big" donation to get EVERYTHING?This is academic. You will discover you have to pick your kids up from school at exactly the same moment the Kickstarter is announced. This will make you fly into a frustrated rage which will inadvertently cause you to break the DC connection to your laptop. You will then graze your knuckles on some old drawers looking for the battery which you will later remember leaving at your practice room the previous Friday. Further fumbling with your mobile in the school playground will cause you to drop it into a small tank of waste oil, disabling it forever. When you finally find an internet connection, 43 minutes later and in the office of the school nurse, you will discover you have missed the Big Prize by only one minute. This will cause you to type DONKEY COCK FUCK in at least three different Subjects here, and two FUCK SHIT PISS AXOLOTL WHORES on the AmRep forum.

Breakfast or Lunch with Melvins at Cracker Barrel during Melvins tour!
(Up to the winner to get to Cracker Barrel on time, Melvins are not responsible for people arriving late and missing out. Up to the winner to pay the bill for everyone at the table. This way the Melvins at least get something out of the meal!)

So, does the "Exclusive live mp3 download of the full 20th Anniversary Melvins show in Santa Cruz from March 2004 recorded by Vinny Palese" only come with the $40 pledge or do those that chose a more expensive package get it as well?

It's only with that prize level. The other exclusive live songs are from a few different live recordings that have never been heard before.
So the film is released in 2016. Does the delivery date of June 2015 stand true for the DVD/blu Ray as well as other exclusives?
oh yeah. My mistake.So the film is released in 2016. Does the delivery date of June 2015 stand true for the DVD/blu Ray as well as other exclusives?

There's a * by any mention of the film that notes that it's released in early 2016.

Will the 2 or 3 disc DVD set be available to buy after the documentary is presumably released? (without the hand crafted wooden box, of course)
Or is the extra disc of full length interviews, live performances and videos, & behind the scenes footage only available to those who dish out the $300 now?

I agree. We need to get Lori, Mark and Joe in this documentary. It will be a total fucking shame if none of the three of them take part. I mean MATT LUKIN took part and he fucking hates Buzz and Dale more than anyone on the planet!!!!!

I've spent the last three years working on this movie. Every vacation day I've had, I've worked on the movie. Every extra dollar I've made, has been put towards this movie. Every day after work, I work on the movie. Every weekend, I work on the movie.
So yes, it's something to get excited about. All of Bob's effort and all of my effort on this comes down to whether or not the movie gets funding , so that we can finish it.

Just an idea: How about getting some sponsors? Either if its a magazine, a musical instrument brand, something that can fit.i had the same thought...
also all the rockstars that mention melvins as the rock-gods (they truly are) in every other interview should donate... get anselmo to finance the rest!! :D
So here's what I learned, if you want more than one reward.
I put in the wife's name, another email and credit card number, shipped to the same address. Come on, Mrs Glenanna! Whatcha got? :o
Bard had a good idea :shock:
If we can get Adam/Tool, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Jack White, Mark Arm, Matt Pike, etc etc to
each tweet about this to their millions of followers, it would be over the top in a matter of days!

It all depends what sponsors and I guess its better with enough money to finish i earlier, than not knowing when the goal i reached. And dont undermine me Meez!
:shock:Well, I don't know, I'm just very busy IRL.
Woah Molotov, where have you been??
Open up that wallet, penny pitcher! :Pyou only need to raise $1,562.96 a day will meet the goal!Curiously, that's down to $1260.95 per day now, so it's heading in the right direction. I think the next week or so might be interesting seeing how it goes. Whether it evens out a bit or keeps going. As long as the money steadily rolls in as it has done i can't see there being a problem. It's funny that im not personally interested in pledging to the film BUT i have found myself really interested in this project as a whole and seeing how it's going.
Yep, what a pussy. Poor russian oiler can find a hundred bucks to support a movie about his favorite band, even if USD is twice more expensive for him now.Open up that wallet, penny pitcher! :Pyou only need to raise $1,562.96 a day will meet the goal!Curiously, that's down to $1260.95 per day now, so it's heading in the right direction.

I looked up "melvins tote bag"

I'd buy it
I think Buzz/Dale could care less if this thing gets released.

I feel the same way. Basically, what's in it for me? I don't give a shit about getting "free" downloads in return, & I am not impressed by the T-shirts(sorry not a comic fan) and I have bought 3 of Walsby's Melvins shirts in the last year. Sorry I'm just not throwing down $300 to get a 3rd bonus DVD that won't be in the retail release. I could close this thing out right now to finish it. But for something I'd watch 3 times a year?, no thanks.
I think Buzz/Dale could care less if this thing gets released. If they wanted it done, it would be, on their terms. I think they're looking at it as a true fan project, and are sitting on the sidelines sort of hoping/wanting for it to be done in this new way via kickstarter.
Chill out. Yeah, I want to see this film. I'll put in something soon here. I hope you guys aren't getting stressed out over this project and the rest goes smoothly. Sorry for being an asshole :PNo. You the Man!
One thing that irks me about the pledge (as far as i can see) is that i do think that people that pledge 5 or 10 dollars should also get at least a download of the film. After all a download doesn't cost anything and i think that would only be fair given that those people contributed to it's funding.
It seems a little weird to me that someone could pay to make this happen yet not be able to watch the documentary. Although i understand that the intention is to get people to select an higher pledge amount in order to be able to see it.

HERE'S MY LAUNDRY LIST OF COMPLAINTS SINCE EVERYONE IS BITCHING AND MOANING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN THING EVER:
1. If I pledge more than 50$, I should get the shirts, the hoodies, the posters, 2 copies of the extendo uber mega deluxe come-with-a-fleshlight-on-the-box-sos-i-can-fuck-it collectors edition, with pizza delivery for a week from Buzzos dogs and a vial of every bassists blood, in a handmade Brazilian Rosewood coffin designed by Haze (spoiler alert, there will be skulls and goats), hand etched by Kevin, painted pink by the members of Boris, and with a hand numbered replica of the bottle or can or whatever it was that dick in Canada threw at buzz.
2. If I pledge more than 75$ I want Hanz to send me the camera he filmed this doc with so I can have a shot at doing it right, because he's obviously fucking it up, mailing it in, washing the true KVLT church burning past of MELVINS away for some light, pooftery affair, shitting the bed big time, only spending years and years of his life and time filming what is ultimately going to be a half assed, boring, and sexually confused bit of dare I (ironically) say "art," that makes Michael Bays Transformers 2 look like Schindlers list finger popping Precious whilst Blazing Saddles and Philadelphia awkwardly paw at each other in the corner.
3. Everyone who pitches in 5$ should get a written apology from Hanz (for not filming this in ultra space titty three dimensional 4k HD), Brian (for creating this board where we can endlessly bitch about every single goddamn nitpicky thing we do, don't, or may know about Melvins), the Band (for existing in the first place), Dave Ghrol (for not playing drums all that much anymore), Courney Love (thanks for the blowjob, my dick just fell off), and GLEN BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKIN' GREAT SOURCE OF POTASSIUM BUT HAS AN INCREDIBLY HIGH GLYCEMIC INDEX.
4. If there isn't an extended shot of some hipster girl in Olympia painting her toes while wearing a Melvins tube top, I'm pulling my funding, and me and Dave Ghrol are gonna go film a U2 documentary.
5. Actually, just give it away for free because fuck you, I'm an entitled little shit who would rather come here and complain about something that is truly amazeballs because I might have to pay a reasonable amount of money to see it than just be silent and let everyone who has a 12 foot raging full body iron balled stiffy be more excited than DC at a shoe store.
Fuck.

Wait a minute? Will I have to pay 300 US Dollars to watch the movie? That`s 2000 norwegiaqn kroner and that`s an amount I can`t defend vs my family to spend. I shall not
say what amount I will give, but it`s not near that amount. I did not know it was download only, I though this would come out as a dvd or something and then I would certainly buy it. I`m not interested in any prices, I will give just to contribute to it getting finished, but if I will have to pay 300 usd to see it, well then I will have to join the asshole club. Cause
300 dollars is much money and I can`t afford it. But please fill me in, if I contriubute with let`s say 70 dollars, what will that give me?
Who in the hell ever said you had to pay $300 to watch the movie?
Who said it was download only?!?
Have you even looked at the Kickstarter page?
I plugged this over @ the Clutch, Nomeansno, and Zappa official forums. If it gets a few people interested, I'm glad. Not on facecrook, so that's the only way I know of to spread the word on the net.
Idlehanz has blocked my pm, so I will have to just say what I wanted to pm, that my responce was wrong, I`ve deleted, delete yours and we`re ok.Not the time or place for this. Don't worry about it. He's got a lot going on.
PS! I think also that it ain`t good if a mod blocks pms from forumists, most probably Idle ignores me to, but that`s no suprise. So here you have it Idle, the Bergenzian
asshole contributes although you can`t stand his scthick.

Does everyone realize what an important piece of history this fucking film will be?
I don't remember why or when I blocked you. Consider yourself unblocked.
You should interview Calvin Johnson if you haven't already. He had a hand in getting the Melvins some of their first real shows outside of Aberdeen at a club called the Tropicana in Olympia back in 84. Dale described them as their first punk shows.
Something to note to when helping out projects on Kickstarter - remember - it is not JUST about the rewards you get it is about supporting the project.
As soon as my new credit card arrives (tomorrow?) I am going with the $300 option. If I look at it as just $300 for the items it might appear expensive. If I look at it is helping a project reach it's goal so it can be realized and I get some cool stuff? Then it is a steal!!!!

I don`t want any reward, it`s ok for those who want, but in this matter it`s just to get the film going. I gave on third of the amount you gave, Sadcorps, I have obligations economically zu hause with kids etc, so I must limit it.

Almost 50k!
Mods, any chance of getting this thread stickied until the campaign is over? Just an idea.
If only we could get Amrep to release one Melvins 7" with all proceeds going to the kickstarter.
That wouldn't cost Haze anything after all
:lol: yea right?
Though Haze did us a HUGE solid by donating four of the Night Goat prints. They were the first thing to sell out.
:lol: Kevin In A Kevin Shirt. Deserves its own topic. =D>
Aaaaand...officially backed.And my pledge brought it to $54,666!! :twisted:
(may have to create a second account)
Idle, are you going to make a subtitles for the movie? Or ask people to talk a bit slower while they're being interviewed.
Thanks.
I didn't mean to show subtitles right in the movie. Maybe you can make it as an *.srt file or something like this. I understand it's not so easy with all that typing, timing, etc., so if not - no problems.Idle, are you going to make a subtitles for the movie? Or ask people to talk a bit slower while they're being interviewed.
Thanks.
Sorry Mol, but I don't think the film will be subtitled, except for Atsuo.
And we've already completed just about all of the interviews.....

After a few positive, yet slower pledge days recently, i think the last 24 hours have been really good for this project. The target amount is within touching distance now. I have no stats to back this up, but i have a feeling that as the figure gets closer it might pick up a bit of steam as other people see that it is becoming a reality. Im guessing one more week will do it. Assuming the project is green lit, it will be interesting to see how much over the target figure is pledged.

I really wish this kind of thing didn't have to be done. It's not up to us though. It's a Kickstarter thing, and we can't change it. :(
When would it be in good taste to post up one or two of these rewards on the Melvins classifieds Thread? If someone had one or two items that they didn't really need? Theoretically speaking, of coarse! :-"
Theoretically sell months from now. I, er, my associate really jumped the gun on this question. ABORT! ABORT! DELETE! :shock:

After we hit our goal and the kickstarter is over.
Theoretically.
Why sell something you don't have in hand, and that could take away from the movie being made?
Hey, dont be cheap!8-[
Seriously tho, there is literally no way in hell that this can't get funded now. Just over 11 days left and only a hop, skip and a jump over $6000 to go. It's in the bag, and i must say im impressed that such a huge amount has been gathered.
Unfortunately, this kind of thinking can keep it from reaching the goal. It's not over until it's over.True. Although i can't see a problem, yet you are right - it's not over until it is. You don't have to answer this of course but i do wonder how you imagined the kickstarter would do prior to it starting. Did you think it would have been funded quicker, slower or about the same as it has been doing? I think it's in a good way at present anyway. If there was only 2 days left it might be worrying but 11 days is great.
If it reached 85k I'll dress up in a banana costume and cover a melvins song acoustically.

73 327. Almost done.
The next thing is to wait for the next year. Daaaamn that'll be difficult.
6 days ago i said it would only take 7 more days and it looks like i could well be right. At any minute this project could go from "if" to "when".I think we might need to go over a bit, to cover the payday loan needing, government cheese types. Everyone, "insufficient funds" is not something we want to be hearing anytime soon. [-o<
The next thing is to wait for the next year. Daaaamn that'll be difficult.
Alright I threw in some more money, now it's almost funded! And remember the more money this thing gets the better it will be!The better the DC acoustic banana number will be! :D
It's funny that i feel a mixture of emotions. Im glad for you guys (and of course Idle and Bob) who will finally get to see/make this movie. On the downside im dreading all the extra Melvins talk for the next 12 months! :?
:lol:
You have to work tonight Idle? Up for some celebratory beers?
:lol:If Idle and Grim get together tonight, there'll only be about $20 left of that $75k and we'll have to start again in the morning.

Just got an update about the boxes:
The 100 Box-sets we made available have all been accounted for, but we have a plan for those that didn't manage to get one. We had the number of 200 in mind for how many we were going to produce, which would have left us with a 100 spare for band, friends, competitions etc. So with that in mind we are going to make another 25 available here for backers to purchase.

It's funny that i feel a mixture of emotions. Im glad for you guys (and of course Idle and Bob) who will finally get to see/make this movie. On the downside im dreading all the extra Melvins talk for the next 12 months! :?
Although his continuous predictions on the outcome of the Kickstarter campaign has been of much value! :bs:I concur. I write such things for myself, merely because i have an interest in it. After all, lots of people have a passing interest in all sorts of things that they wouldn't usually be fans of. I don't think there is anything wrong in that. Although i agree with you that any comment i give isn't exactly required. But then, what posts here (on the board) are?
Pretty soon this project will be funded and the film will be made. Any comment i give/gave will be long forgotten and i wouldn't have it any other way. It's about the film itself not me.
will a standard release be available for the masses
when should dvds from kickstart begin to shipEarly next year
Open up that wallet, penny pitcher! :Pyou only need to raise $1,562.96 a day will meet the goal!Curiously, that's down to $1260.95 per day now, so it's heading in the right direction. I think the next week or so might be interesting seeing how it goes. Whether it evens out a bit or keeps going. As long as the money steadily rolls in as it has done i can't see there being a problem. It's funny that im not personally interested in pledging to the film BUT i have found myself really interested in this project as a whole and seeing how it's going.
I feel the same way. Basically, what's in it for me? I don't give a shit about getting "free" downloads in return, & I am not impressed by the T-shirts(sorry not a comic fan) and I have bought 3 of Walsby's Melvins shirts in the last year. Sorry I'm just not throwing down $300 to get a 3rd bonus DVD that won't be in the retail release. I could close this thing out right now to finish it. But for something I'd watch 3 times a year?, no thanks.
I think Buzz/Dale could care less if this thing gets released. If they wanted it done, it would be, on their terms. I think they're looking at it as a true fan project, and are sitting on the sidelines sort of hoping/wanting for it to be done in this new way via kickstarter.
Thanks to everyone who helped.....except Chief Bitter-Bud Light of course. I just drank 10 beers in celebration of our achievement!
Chill out. Yeah, I want to see this film. I'll put in something soon here. I hope you guys aren't getting stressed out over this project and the rest goes smoothly. Sorry for being an asshole :P
What is really interesting to me is that this was funded with just under 1,000 people. The TRUE Melvins fans. Anyone not in this exclusive club of 1,000 people are just fair weather fans.....And I'm 3 of them.

oh wait, you are hanging out with Dale, could I send you a Baseball for him to sign for me if possible.
I love you.
Could you get him to sign me a croquet mallet?
ultra space titty 4k HD?:shock: I must be out of the loop on new tv technology!
I did not receive a 2nd email regarding DVD or Blu-Ray. I didn't answer which one I wanted, because it looked as if they were only asking about the shirts, which I assume will be ready to ship in a month or so. I just assumed we'd be asked way later in the year about choice of disc(s).Same here.
Anyone that wants to clarify whether they want the dvd or blu-ray, send an email saying so to hellsmoremedia@gmail.com
I was able to choose between DVD / Blu-Ray when I filled out the questionnaire.
Can't wait for "Thundercock McSpankyballs" to get a nod in the credits.
Just a reminder to all of you that pledged towards the film, please return the emails asking for you're shirt sizes, dvd/blu-ray options, and so on. We haven't received replies back from everyone yet, so if you're one of them, get on it!The email/link to the form page I received didn't specify dvd/blu-ray; who should I contact? I think you posted an email address a week or so ago, but I couldn't find it.
I did not receive an email in regards to dvd or bluray.
I've had no issues, except my excitement for this movie makes me feel like a middle aged man with a fistful of cialis.

It may be close. Totally understand everyone is excited about this stuff but keep in mind that June was an estimated delivery date. We're working to get everything done as quickly as possible!
And they're looking for footage of Lukin with the band if anyone has any.
I was Lukin but I couldn't find anything.

They're being worked on. Bob and I both have day jobs, and I've been getting called out all weekend, so it's made it difficult for me to devote time to it. I am hoping to have them done and ready by next weekend though. Thanks for your patience!
Do you get to choose which songs you download, or does it download automatically? If you have two download codes, will you be downloading the same exact thing?
Thanks. I mean, if someone ordered two different things, with two different accounts, and received two codes, one for two songs, one for four, etc.. Are the songs downloaded on the two-song code going to be the same songs downloaded on the four-song code?Do you get to choose which songs you download, or does it download automatically? If you have two download codes, will you be downloading the same exact thing?
It downloads automatically. If you received two codes, it was by accident and will likely download the same songs.

Well I got the 6 songs and the other two are amazon/AMAZON and Hag Me.Thanks. Four more unknown songs to go!

I'd love to see some old school Dillard clips!
Good luck on the hunt.
You might want to PM Peebot or Sadcorps as they seem to have been fans since the early/mid 80's.

I don't. I have a couple of Lorax shows (Germany and some coffeehouse show) but those are rather common and on YouTube I believe. Idlehanz has all my footage dating back to 1995-2002. Not sure if he's going to use any of my stuff.
I sent you stuff I filmed back in November last year. All from when I used to live in Austin, TX.

It continues to amaze me how many amazing people the makers of this film-to-be have gotten to contribute.
I can't tell wether this is a testament to the Melvins' greatness, or the filmmakers' use of black magic to hex them into participating :lol:
Curious, has Matt Lukin been at all cooperative in this??
video footage you may be interested in from past years you requested. not ciruclated except maybe zigler

W T F HAHA AWESOME!!!
I think the only ex-members that want nothing to do with it are Mark D., Lorax and Joe.Are there still hurt feelings between those 3 and the band??
Is there any one who you think is important to the Melvins story that you just can't locate, or who opts not to participate?
What a shame.

The Big 3 that are not opting (unless something has changed) are Lorax, Mark D. and Joe.
I'm guessing it had something to do with the stories about his laziness with the solo albums, and how he got fired.I'm somewhat surprised Joe wanted zero involvement seeing as he's all tight with the BIZ boys.I thought the same thing too.

So did Matt participate in this despite his hatred towards Buzz?From what I've heard, he doesn't hate Buzz.
GiveMe45 told me Joe got screwed pretty bad by the band actually. So did Matt participate in this despite his hatred towards Buzz?
i've ever seen any footage of that tour (or gig??). I'd like to know more about what that was all about.The Cameron Jamie/melvins tour was amazing. For example, at the UCLA show, the crowd contained a lot of people that usually wouldn't go to a melvins show. The concert took place in a theater, and everyone was seated. The melvins stood in front of the screen, the lights dimmed, and the movie started. The focus was on the screen, yet you could still make out the melvins playing in front, a live soundtrack. At one point, Dale picked up a cymbal, started clanging it, and running around the theater, making a full loop, ending back behind the drum kit. Music-wise, I think it was mostly songs from the 'pigs of the roman empire'.

yeah the Cameron Jaime music was basically a modified version of POTRE. and this was at the height (IMO) of their noise production. and when I say noise production I don't mean noise production. I mean NOISE PRODUCTION.
Today we spent a few hours filling poster tubes.Yeah, you wish!
I wonder if Roadbull, or Gareth, or Smelly, or Moss has been interviewed?
2016, I'm assuming.Sounds about right, remember that it's a tink bit more complicated than taking a memory card full of interviews to Walmart and having them printed out.
Just got an email about the limited Blu-ray/DVD box delay. The email stated mid 2016, So I'm assuming it will be about a year before it's shipped.
Honestly, Idle, do you think a delay of over a year could happen??
I know how things go (and this is a massive project) and I could possibly see this drawing for a while. Your thoughts??
Please prove me wrong.
I'd prefer if it came out right now so we can stop hearing about it for another year. Ha!:lol:
That's wasn't my intention and I'm sorry to Idle & co. if it came across that way. No disrespect. I guess I meant as long as it comes out. I know some kickstarters that never see the light of day after getting the cash. Just hoping it does see the light of day. That's all I meant.Just got an email about the limited Blu-ray/DVD box delay. The email stated mid 2016, So I'm assuming it will be about a year before it's shipped.Don't rush him man.

Besides, in case you forgot we're HD⚡DC. Superhero twins separated at birth. Does that mean anything to you any more?
So how many of you supporters got your shirts and stuff? I know the posters just got done but I see pictures of people in their shirts and I'm wondering where mine is?Got my shirts in July.

DC publicly proclaimed that if the Kickstarter reached a certain amount of money he would do a couple of Melvins songs acoustically while dressed as a banana. Well, it reached it's goal, so :banana:

No absolute date has been set yet, but we are getting close. Keep an eye on the FB page for the details.
Here's a video we released first for backers, and now for everyone else.
This was filmed by myself with help from Cheeseburger/Bro Hammer at Buzz's 50th at Grumpys.

Did I help, too? Can't remember if I ended up holding one of those tiny baby cameras. Either way, I think I was standing right next to you! So that's gotta count for something, right? :P
I haven't kept up with this thread but the trailers do look great!Not if you want it out some time this decade.
Is there any chance the infamous Vinney interview will end up on the dvd?
I wonder if this will be available via streaming services after the premier, or if I should just order a DVD with my Basses Loaded preorder?This isn't associated with the Melvins in that sense. You may be able to order it from the Melvins Revolve store someday, but for now it's something you you'll have to buy from the filmmakers. They will announce anything pertinent like that as soon as they can, so watch this thread.
Melvins documentary at the silent movie theater is the most ironic thing since Sonic Youth moved next to a deaf kid's school! :lol:
I'm curious on how you got into contact with Shepard for the poster!?! I love him. That was a good move :D
And it was great to meet DC!
Thanks guys. DC, stick around this time, eh? :D
Such a good movie.
You're all in for a serious treat.
I'm completely worn out. I may get some pics posted in a few days. Today is a couple different flights and I have to go back to work at the crack of dawn tomorrow.There will be a kingdom in Melvins heaven waiting for you on the other side. Thank you for all the hard work. I'm really looking forward to this.

out of curiosity, what is said regarding the whole "kevin" incident?
I also wonder if this movie touches upon the Lori/drug years at all--I've always wondered if Mark D's claims about Buzz being a junkie were bullshit.
Yes, hats off to the filmmakers and all involved for making this happen.
is there any Mark D or Joe Preston interviews in the final cut?I was also wondering if they caught up with Lori.
They weren't able to get an interview with Lori. Mark D, and Joe, I'm not sure.is there any Mark D or Joe Preston interviews in the final cut?I was also wondering if they caught up with Lori.
Lori, Mark, and Joe all declined to be interviewed. And we asked many, many times.It's funny to think of things like that, how not participating might suggest a certain thing. Negative connotations maybe. Yet at the same time i guess no interviewee (or at least ones with strained or tricky relations) knows quite how what they say will be treated or presented or in what context. After all, no one wants to come across, rightly or wrongly, as the bad guy. So i can respect both the desire to revel in the past in nostalgic terms or alternatively the feeling of just wanting to move on and not look back. To draw a line under it.

Thanks for trying!
he told me that he was happy there was a documentary being made and that the music that he made with the Melvins was his statement on the Melvins. Gotta respect that!!Very true. Hard to argue with that outlook. Thanks for the tidbit.
Awesome news!!
Congrats Idle, it must feel really good to get to this point.
The LA Showing is at the Silent Movie Theater / Cinefamily right? That is usually where the Don't Knock The Rock Festival happens. www.cinefamily.org

Hey friends, Lets just get right to the point.
We know you’re anxious to see the movie and we are really anxious to show it to you. But please keep this in mind that we are two guys with day jobs who made a film about The Melvins. A big studio didn’t make it and we don't have a team of people on hand doing publicity and lining up a worldwide screening in every town and city across the globe. We know you want to have the movie shown in your town and we are slowly trying to get as many screenings out there as possible.
We are extremely proud of this movie and we want it to be seen in a real cinematic environment, because ultimately that is the best way a film should be experienced. We want to have Q+A’s afterwards and meet the fans where possible. It’s been very fulfiling for us to show the movie and see the reaction to it first hand at the handful of screenings we have done so far. It’s as exciting for us as it is for you. We are in correspondence with people everyday about showing the film in theaters and at film festivals, and we will hopefully be able to announce a bunch more screenings starting in October.
We know the people who contributed to the kickstarter want their dvd’s and we promise we are working on it. There is so much extra footage that we want to include on the discs but please realize that this is going to take a little more time than planned. But we will work out a way in early 2017 where the contributors can get an online version of the film to watch.
If you look around at other films that are made, they do not just get put out as soon as the final cut is mixed. If we send it out to everyone right away then it will lose it's value due to online pirating and sharing. This is our prized project that we worked for years to achieve and we don't want to just watch it fall from under our control. We are certainly not cheating anyone out of anything, and everyone will get what they are entitled to, but please be patient and respect what we have achieved upto now.
Thanks so much for your understanding
Bob + Ryan

So does this mean no DVD release this year?
No, it doesn't. We are shooting for April.
Is the download still slated for an April release?
Got a kick starter email, here's the rundown:
- should be streaming on vimeo for backers soon with download to follow.
- DVD set for the end of may. Pre-orders set but backers get the goods first. Disc 1 = documentary; Disc 2 = 2014 live set, bonus live & interview clips; Disc 3 = unseen interviews, live stuff, bloopers
$300 for the three disc set.Got a kick starter email, here's the rundown:

To add to this, I'm pretty sure the third disc is solely for those who paid quite a bit extra for the box set version of this release.
Is the download still slated for an April release?
I don't think so.....
Is the download still slated for an April release?
I don't think so.....
Sorry for not seeing this earlier.
We decided that we'd rather get the sound fixed than be able to hit the April date we gave ourselves. People will remember that we didn't hit our April goal, but we would always remember that we didn't make it sound as good as we possibly could. And having the sound fixed benefits everyone. When we were able to get Kurt to fix it, we jumped on it.
At this point if Vinney's interview isn't a bonus feature, it's a no buy.
Kickstarter (Vimeo) streaming of the movie is now available.

Codes have been sent out to the backers to stream the movie. Pre orders are available on Vimeo for streaming/downloading and as well as at http://revolvemerchandise.shop/colossus-of-destiny for physical copies and bundles.
Please check your Trash/Promotions box before telling me you don't have it!
I hope you all love it.

That goes for those of you who don't have me on ignore/block. Please give the message further, unless the ones don't unlock this specific post.
Ok, thanx for the reply, Idle. Could it be bardhl@broadpark.no? That email is dead. My pardon if that is so. I thought I quit bardhl years ago. You have my name and payment registered?
kind of wish I would have gotten the third disk now.
Just curious, but is there a set date they are going to start shipping the blu rays?
Anyone have a problem with that send them to the Complaints Department.
I'm curious why Joe and Lori Turned down their involvement? Whether they had positive or negative experiences to document regardless.
I was surprised Moss wasn't in it as well.I'm curious why Joe and Lori Turned down their involvement? Whether they had positive or negative experiences to document regardless.
The only person that I was curious about was Tim Moss. I know tons of footage was recorded and cut down to two hours, but was he interviewed at all? DSS woulda been cool too, but If I remember right, he was booted from the crew for making crude remarks about Mackie or something.

nice interview. wonder which ex member of the band didn't want to get involved.. joe, deutrom and ?
Did Anaconda order one? I haven't read the credits. Wondering if you think it's appropriate to send a copy to his fam with a wee note explaining what it's all about and how awesome he was.

Just the dvds are going out right now. We got the test dvds first and finally aproved them after a few mistakes. Then we got the test blu rays and approved them. So the dvds arrived and were mailed out first.

So how does the shipping of the blu rays work? Do we get a seperate notification on Kickstarter regarding the shipping address?
Reason I'm asking is, the only time I was asked about my postal address was in that questionnaire 2 years ago and I have moved since then.
I'm a bit worried, because I never received the reward t-shirt and didn't even get an answer on Kickstarter regarding its whereabouts. I'm hoping for a bit of clarity, so that it works out better this time.
Finally just finished watching the documentary (on YouTube ha!).
I'm still trying to figure out why that wienie DC got special mention. :?Something to do with hooking up Idle with a stash of his alternative adult film archive, I'm guessing.

Because while the nature of our friendship may be of dubious origins, it nevertheless remains constant, strong, and full of unfuckwithable brosmanship. Idle is neither classy nor a gentleman, but he is a solid 100% righteous sumbitch.
(Me saying shit like this is probably why)
Thanks a ton again man, that was an unexpected and super awesome surprise.
I enjoyed watching along but, speaking for myself, i wouldn't really be interested in delving back into this as such.
Didn't glen get a special mention?I'm still trying to figure out why that wienie DC got special mention. :?

Do you go out of your way to act like a dickhead or does it just come natural? I've ignored your nonsense for years but this has got to be the biggest display of asshattery I have ever seen. Someone from this community dedicated themselves for years to this project and you have the stones to come on here and flippantly announce you watched an illegal stream? What is wrong with you man? Do you enjoy being a garbage person?

I could be more blunt and straight to the point with my reply to your comment here in reference to something. However you wouldn't like it and rather than do so, instead i'll simply, vaguely write - you don't recall what you've wrote in the past do you?
Glad someone said itI must say the opinions are interesting. In a way i don't really mind how people perceive it.
don't forget he said he never wants to see it again.Hey Glen i never specifically said that. I said, and i quote, "i wouldn't really be interested in delving back into this". I'd see bits of it again somewhere down the line potentially. It's one of those things where someone might pull it off the shelf once in a while to watch again as they please. For me it (mostly) covers what we as more studious fans already know or are familiar with so it's not like, lets say a live show or something which might have you itching to see it more often or more than once. It's essentially a history lesson and we know the story. Although i didn't know Mark Deutrom's name is actually Mark Deutron!
No response?On this occasion yes.

you can see that Meez was out there before Ian. So why not bash Meez for not telling Idle that there`s a foul video on youtube, before Ian comes with the message that he`s seen it on youbute.To be fair, i absolutely think i did see it BEFORE Meezer. He probably just searched it out after i had mentioned it.
I found it right away.*Edit
I found it right away.*Edit
I put the name of the film in the search bar on YouTube after Ian pointed this out. I told Ian in a pm that he's a dirt bag but I still love him. Pay for stuff, especially this one. Or just shut the fuck up.
That's not what this is about at all. There's a big difference between what could have been "well I just randomly happened upon it on YouTube and here's my opinion" versus "ha!" which basically translates to disrespect and more crying for attention.you can see that Meez was out there before Ian.

To clear some things up, i wasn't actually LOOKING to find the film. Instead i went on YouTube to see if there was any new interviews with the band. BUT that's when i discovered the film was on there. Am i going to NOT watch it? Of course im curious and wanted to see it so i did so. I was excited to see it! That's all really. I could have chosen to stay quiet and say nothing about it here for 6 weeks and let many others view it also but i didn't. Oh well.
Am i going to NOT watch it?

Or just shut the fuck up.See, in a way i agree with you. But in another not. Do you or others (myself included) pay for the videos we watch everyday and enjoy and may post here on YouTube? Or some other cool music film that may have been uploaded somewhere and we share with others? In some ways there is no difference. In SOME ways one could say.
That's not what this is about at all. There's a big difference between what could have been "well I just randomly happened upon it on YouTube and here's my opinion" versus "ha!" which basically translates to disrespect and more crying for attention."Translates" yes. It translates as such. Does it mean that is what was intended though? Maybe. Could i have wrote it differently? Sure! But i did not. Now of course, for various reasons, something like this is a real hot potato! Many here may read between the lines and assume it's a full on diss! Was i utterly scathing of the movie in what i said? No. I think i was pretty fair. Others won't agree, sure and that's perfectly fine. Same as some people think it's okay to view things for free while others don't. Personally i don't really try and make sense of it.
If you had one ounce of respect for Idle and the hard work he put into this over the years the answer would have been quite clear.Interestingly i was talking about this very thing just a few days ago with someone. I know what you say here is true of some people. Probably many fans. A number of people would take the stance you suggested there. But i am not one of them. You see what i mentioned recently is that im the kind of person that will experience something regardless. Take new album releases for instance. Soem people hold out and WILL NOT listen to a bands album until it is physically in their hands. That's cool. I can respect that but that's not me. I will listen to a new song or record as soon as i can. I don't even care too much about the quality - i just want to hear it! Call it curiosity, call it weak mindedness, call it ripping people off. Call it however you see it. But personally i think it's at least some respect to the filmmakers that i actually WANTED to see it. Imagine if i had discovered the film and thought "nah, not watching this bullshit!". I didn't and don't feel like that. As i said a few posts back, i was excited to see it. I wasn't NOT going to see it. If you don't share that mentality that's okay.
I think Idle is totally capable of setting it straight by himself, he doesn't need a ton of people having a go at Ian. Settle down folks, at least Ians early "action" took down the illegal stream. Max 200 views before it has now been shut down. But sooner or later it will leak out again as Ian said, either via download or stream somewhere, maybe on youtube again. I guess that's how it is these days.Idle did attempt to set straight himself and in turn was ignored and then ridiculed. Again, it's not the fact that Ian watched it on YouTube, it was the way he presented it. I'm more than certain the filmmakers were expecting criticism, that's not the issue. It's the blatant disrespect that he has shown over the last few years of the development of this film and topping it all of with this. Although I'm sure he can find a way to drag it even further with pointless over-analyzation and complaints.
Ian does and says stuff others wouldn't, perhaps not in his everyday life, but here he does, that's not new and people should start to understand that that is how it will be. If one overlooks these small wrongsteps, Ian is the best chap ever. Even though I and others say to him that this and that was perhaps not wise to say/write, he will still do it, he's consistent in that way.I appreciate how diplomatic you always try to be and I'm typically the same. And as I've said before, taking things that are said on the internet so seriously probably means you've got more important things in life you should be worrying about. I'm also not trying to imply that just because you are a Melvins fan, or to an even lesser extent, the fact that you post here means you are required to like the movie. I just don't appreciate disrespect of this kind and I'm not going to overlook it just because he's consistent in his ways.
Really, it was on YouTube??Legally, you can buy it for streaming through Vimeo. Enjoy your viewing in chile!
I had no idea, I always see those fake videos there with the title of the documentary but only that. Either way, I know that I'm never going to watch it because:
1. It's impossible to even conceive the idea of a screening in Chile (and in Temuco?... ha!, no fucking way).
2. Apparently it's only available as a blu-ray/DVD set and my BR player is old as fuck plus there's the problem with the so called "world zones".
3. The blu-ray/DVD set is only available at revolve and they do not accept PayPal (let alone PayPal balance).

:lol: :lol: :lol:
As far as Ian critiquing the film, he should have kept it to himself. You didn't pay a dime for it you cheap fuck, and no one cares what you think besides.Perhaps i should have kept it to myself. True. But then this is a discussion board last time i checked. As for being a "cheap fuck", well actually you are 100% right there. Probably the only thing anyone has said in the last few pages that was true. Yep, i'll be the first to admit that i AM indeed terribly frugal. You are no doubt bang on the money about people not caring what i think either.
Glad I wasn't the only one absolutely annoyed by this shit.It's okay, im sure you and everyone else who is foolishly up in arms about this, pays for every single thing they watch/listen to online. Anything else would be very hypocritical you know.

Ah so in your mind this documentary is different to any other movie? Somehow with some twisted logic you deem it fine to watch one illegally and the other not? Simply because someone you half know made it? How morally proper of you.It's okay, im sure you and everyone else who is foolishly up in arms about this, pays for every single thing they watch/listen to online. Anything else would be very hypocritical you know.
You literally went to the person who spent years of their life working on the project (which most of us on this board helped fund by the way) glibly saying you watched an illegal stream and then criticized their work. Gee, I just wonder why you got push back? (This isn't like burning a copy of some shitty Michael Bay film)
The next time I do that I'll happily admit to being a hypocrite...
Ah so in your mind this documentary is different to any other movie?
Are you?Ah so in your mind this documentary is different to any other movie?Are you really this stupid?
I get more stupid every second I spend conversing with you.Very true it seems.
Thanks for providing me with a reason to use the ignore list for the first time in the 12 years I've been posting here.Well if you're still reading, im sorry to hear that. I understand we all may see things differently and of course that's part of the problem with anything like this. I don't wish any ill will (not to anyone here actually) but speaking of the exchanges with people about this, i do find something very strange going on here. It's as much a curiosity to me as it is illogical in my mind.
Enjoy the rest of your miserable life Ian.
Ignoring Ian ranks up there with how much I thought about my morning shit.
because Ian just seems to be one of those that thinks "it's the rest of the world who is wrong, can't be me" who doesn't acknowledge or take accountability when their side of the argument might not exactly be the right side.It's fair to think like that of me. You might well be right, but at the same time im definitely not as hard headed as you might think. Perhaps many people get that impression here from my exchanges but you'll have to just take my assertion that im more willing to look and listen to conflicting views then you give me credit. Probably not on all things granted but still i do so.
Once again it's the disrespectful way he presented it. The "ha" that was used was more insulting than any bad review on this board could ever be.I know what you mean there. You may not believe me but the "ha!" wasn't actually intended in an insulting way but in a "wow! look how i've seen it!" attempt. A kind of excited expression/reaction. Especially in light of all the, sort of, you have to see it in this way discussion. Me thinking i may not get to see it. A bit like saying "i walked home and found a £10 note on the floor! ha!". Obviously i can see how you could interpret it differently but that was all it was. Trust me if i wanted to be insulting i could have done so much more than a mere "ha".
Idle asked for a link and was seemingly ignored. I'll give benefit of the doubt and maybe Ian didn't check the board for a time and didn't see Idle's request. But when he did respond it did not answer Idle's request and it was insulting and childish.No i did actually see the request. To answer this is a bit trickier. This is all by the by of course but firstly i didn't want to post the link because basically i KNEW it was doing exactly what i SHOULD'T do. Now... that aside i didn't respond to Idle's request because in effect it wasn't a request. He could have wrote "could you send me the link please" or PM'd me but instead it was a one word "link?" reply. Almost a hard fisted demand you could say. He didn't have to reference that i had gave an opinion on the movie. He doesn't have to do those things of course but i thought on this occasion it was a tad blunt and to the point. Also i think it's fairly well known here that im hardly the most well liked or appreciated person when talk of the COD film comes around. There has been many times i've mentioned the movie (sometimes with positive comments, sometimes less so) where i myself have been ignored. I didn't see anyone cause a scene then asking why did Idle ignore me. That is why i wrote "on this occasion yes". It wasn't ridicule it was me distancing myself a bit from the brewing trouble. Do i really want to duke it out with one of the filmmakers who (much like everyone else here) may over-react?? It was easier just to keep it simple and back away.
But it's now also obvious that there's no point in trying to have a dialogue with him about this. He doesn't consider other points of view and doesn't seem to have the ability to take a step back and check his words and actions. None of this is going to make me enjoy the film any less.I actually beg to differ on that one. It was unfortunate (as it usually always is) that people aren't more willing to have this dialogue in which you mention. Too many people bypass that and go straight to anger. That is pretty self evident in the responses here. I suppose people have a right to be angry if they wish to be. I understand that but it's unfortunate.
None of this is going to make me enjoy the film any less.Nor should it! Whenever i talk about something be it a new Melvins album or the band themselves or indeed this documentary, i don't intend to sway public opinion. It is merely me saying what i thought of something. Okay the opinion might be a bit extreme or even entirely in the minority but that's okay. If you and countless others love the documentary - great! Im not looking to disrupt that whatsoever. But at the same time im not looking to blur out what i think of something either. I have to be honest or at least my version of "the truth".
Oh, and to address one of his counterpoints....I can say with all sincerity that I have never once illegally downloaded anything off the internet.So you have NEVER listened to a song on YouTube EVER?? Honestly? Well.. i suppose you could well be right perhaps you haven't. But speaking generally, we all consume entertainment that we pay absolutely nothing, ZERO towards. Idle does to!
This thread sucks now. Way to go.
Me too. DoneThis thread sucks now. Way to go.
I apologize for playing a large part in that.

Wow, this blew up.
I split my head open above my right eye a few days ago and have been in bed since. But I’ve seen this thread growing.
So I’m going to respond to a few things I’ve read.
Ian, you are one of two things. Either the best troll an internet forum has ever seen, or a miserable cunt. If you’re trolling, then congrats, you’ve duped us all. If this is the real you, I’d just like to say, go fuck yourself. You actually had the gall to come into this thread at one point and complain that people were talking about the movie.
I can’t be bothered to read everything you’ve typed because I just don’t give that much of a shit, but, the fact that you didn’t contribute to the movie, shit talked it, and watched it for free (and laughed about it) makes you a cunt. I’ve worked on this movie since June of 2012. Bob has worked on it just as long. We spent our own money getting this off the ground. We spend weekends, vacation time, and after work hours working on this. We put ALL of our time for years into it. YOU did nothing but bitch and complain, watched it illegally, and laughed about it. And for that, again, I say fuck you. You, and people like you are taking money out of my pocket, Bob’s pocket, and the band’s pocket. Try to justify it however you want, you’re a cunt. Fuck you. If I didn’t make it clear enough, FUCK YOU.
On to other things……
We are fully aware that it’s going to be pirated and there isn’t anything we can do about that. BUT, I will fight every fucking youtube link and illegal stream I find because I worked on this thing for 5+ fucking years and I have earned every fucking penny that comes to me.
There’s some sound issues. We all know it. When Bob and I first started, we knew fuck-all about making a film. We didn’t know how to properly mic someone. We didn’t know an overhead fan we could barely hear would be picked up so well by a lav mic. We weren’t professionals. Still aren’t! We did the best we could and paid people to make it better. It’s not perfect, but I guarantee its WAY better than what we originally had. Anyone who was at the first few viewings can attest to that.
H.A.T.
Fuck, we did kind of skip that didn’t we? It wasn’t on purpose. And we did reach out to Adam Jones but he declined. There’s a lot of people we reached out to who declined. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to talk Melvins, but they just didn’t want to do an interview.
To those of you defending us, thank you. And as far as some of the criticisms, thank you. There's such a thing as constructive criticism. If I or Bob ever do another film, we will know what to work on, what to spend more time on, and what parts need a little more finessing. I don't think anyone realizes that this was made by two fans. Not film-makers, fans. Neither of us went to school for this. Neither of us come from a film-making background. We got no backing from any company. We bought the equipment, learned how to use it, made calls, made plans, bought flights, rented cars, rented hotels, slept on floors, slept in the car, had our ladies mad at us, missed out on hanging with friends, and generally devoted five years each our life to this. This was a literal labor of love, made by two guys who fucking adore the Melvins. And two guys who wanted them to get the respect they deserve. It was worth it. We have a 2 hour film that I am extremely proud of. We have hours of concert and bonus footage I am extremely proud of. I have my name on a piece of art that I am extremely proud of. On the flip side, if you don't feel like that is worth anything to you, if you haven't contributed a god damned thing to the band, and if you just want to sit back and shrug your shoulders in your little black hole of existence and pretend that you are a fan, then by all means go ahead. I know what you really are.
Let's get this thread back on track. People are receiving the DVDs - the movie that 99.9% of us has been waiting for is now OUT! I hope they keep filming and interviewing over the next 35 years so we can get a Part 2!
We made this film because no one else could be bothered.
I'm Just curious if a $50 Donation also earns me a copy of the DVD or Must I purchase a copy?
Pledge $50 or more

Ian, was Anvil the band in the documentary??Bob has written that he's working on it, no idea about the release date.
Has anyone else who paid over $300 gotten the movie in the special box with the extra material disc?? I'm still waiting.....patiently. :^o
Ian, was Anvil the band in the documentary??Actually just taking a look at it, you are right it WAS Anvil!! I see they have had a longer, more extensive history than i mentioned too. Have you seen that documentary yourself? It was good.

I haven't, but I remember hearing about it when it came out 7 or 8 years ago that it was really good. It used to be on Netflix, not sure if it still is.Ian, was Anvil the band in the documentary??Actually just taking a look at it, you are right it WAS Anvil!!

Hey there special edition box backers!
We’ve been getting questions as to when the 3 disc box set will be released and the answer is….not for a little while. And that is pretty much my fault. About a month ago I received a pretty severe concussion that hospitalized me and now has me in three therapy sessions per week as well as not being able to do my normal job. It has affected my memory, my sleep, my stamina, and mostly just my thinking. As a result, I have not been able to work on the third disc of extras. Some of it is done, but there is a lot more I want to add to it. I’ve had trouble remembering how to edit and use keyboard shortcuts that I’ve been using for years. I’m trying to do a little bit every day in hopes that it will help me remember what to do. I sincerely apologize for the wait. Your patience will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Ryan

For real - no hurry on this! Good things come to those of us who wait. We already have access to the film so at this point, we are just talking about a physical copy and bonus stuff. No hurry - get better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if it takes a year, I am cool.
been a few months now, anyone heard any news about the collector/box edition? :?Nope
This shouldn't be on idles shoulders, though. Bob is also part of this, and has enough experience and resources to get it done himself. With the extra money made through the kickstarter, they should hire outside help. Hopefully an official update will come soon.i truely hope idle is getting better of course, but what you mentioned is exactly what I would expect.

With the extra money made through the kickstarter, they should hire outside help. Hopefully an official update will come soon.i truely hope idle is getting better of course, but what you mentioned is exactly what I would expect.
also considering that the money from the collectors sets made-up a substantial part of the overall kickstarter funding. without these sets the goal might even not be reached at all.
I would at least expect more frequent updates as to when we could expect it.
I missed the pledge funding, and would love to buy some physical manifestation of it that includes a CD with the live recordings of it because I collect CDs still (I'm sure plenty here would prefer vinyl).
Considering getting the 2 disc DVD here, though:

Maybe someone can help me out, I'm a little confused. Is the deluxe edition of the documentary coming with a live CD? I thought you just got some digital downloads or something.
So I thought I’d drop in for a little update for everyone that is waiting for the wood box.
Some of you may know, some may not, that I hit my head back on Aug 30th. I received a severe concussion. Severe enough that I have not been back to work since. Severe enough that it actually changed the vision in my right eye and I now have to wear glasses for reading. Before that, I had perfect vision. I’ve been attending three hours of therapy per week, on top of visits to neurologists, concussion specialists, and optometrists that specialize in concussion related vision changes. I still have a little double vision. Though it is improving, I still have difficulty remembering words, and how to get to places that I’ve been going to for the last ten years. I’ve been in a very slowly clearing fog for the last 4 1/2 months. Unfortunately, that has meant a delay in getting the boxes out as I am the one responsible for getting the last bits of interviews and live footage edited down for the 3rd disc of content that goes with the box. This is on my shoulders, not Bobs. If you need to vent about it, vent to me about it. I understand being eager to get something you’ve paid for. We're eager to get them done and shipped. I just ask that you stay patient while I work through this concussion. I’ve been slowly getting back to editing on small pieces here and there, and I’m doing a little more each day.
PS, I have not read through the last few months of comments that I have missed out on. If I didn’t answer anyones specific question, I apologize. I’ll take a closer look later.

I know this sounds strange, but my sister in law got a severe concussion about a year ago and she said that having an amethyst crystal on her bedside table while she slept sped up the healing process dramatically.
I'm not usually into the whole crystal thing, but if it helps who am I to say otherwise.
Good luck with the recovery Ryan! Your health is way more important than our precious Melvins boxset!! (wait did I really just say that :P)
Unfortunately crystals don't help with being a dick :?

I guess I had that coming. I beg your pardon.
I think I've lost the ability to overlook certain types of nonsense. Otherwise intelligent people in my life have been coming out with too many examples of scientific illiteracy and it's all a bit much. I may implode.

Just got an email regarding the 3 disc version, since they feel bad it's actually going to be 4 discs now. Sounds like it will be done shortly.
How do you get this?Ordered during the kickstarter for the melvins documentary.

Wasn't there an extra disc, a live show from 2014?That comes with the regular release of the movie.

Then he would probably ask if you checked your spam folder and you're using the right email address.I donated fifty bucks and got a skinner T-shirt...do I still qualify for a copy of the Film?Should have gotten a dl code to watch it on Vimeo.

I'd bug Idle, he should be able to get you a code.
Delivered :shock: :shock: :shock:

Im going to watch mine tonight and Ill let you know if mine freezes. For anyone else who got the box, was yours signed? Mine isnt, was thinking it was supposed to be? Maybe not its been so long and maybe Im remembering wrong, happy just to get it so no big deal. Just curious, mines numbered but not signed.
did any of the european backers of the wooden boxset here already get a shipping confirmation via email?
