Nice find.

Did you attend Irvington High in Fremont?

Yup, sure did, i live a few blocks down the street from the school.

Well since he outed it......it must be true    Good, I could use a few more shows.  Now to familiarize myself with Down a little more.

it was fun while it lasted, the whole idea that this WASN'T happening.

[Like Stee]

this is so lame.

yes.

Hopefully it means more money to melvins, so bigger production on the next album, which will mean bigger drum sound???

[gesundheit]

I give this a big meh. Especially since I'm considering they haven't played in CA yet this year and they definitely will this time around. If the Melvin's open for Down, I would not stay for Down.

[norecess]

of course down will be headlining, no doubt about it.

True, but Melvins have the legacy of 25 years. I think down would defer to that.

what kind of legacy did tomahawk have on the geek tour?

they had mike patton of faith no more fame = bigger legacy

down has phil anselmo of pantera fame = bigger legacy

as buzz said, the world isn't a right place, but what can you do? grab the money.

[>>>JZS<<<]

Down should be the MELVINS roadies & be thankful that they are in the same room together.

Patton owns Ipecac. If you sign the checks you get your way.

and maybe Phil Anslemo will sing on the next Melvins album

My initial reaction to this tour was one of dismay and disappointment.  There's absolutely no way I would attempt to be front row for the Melvins in a room full of Down fans.  I would be annihilated.  After a solid decade of seeing them every chance I could get would I opt out on this Melvins tour all together?  Is that even possible? 

But then I realized that after two or three nights of playing to rooms populated with people who, for the most part, don't get your music, the chances of sets of "Jacksonville"-sized proportions are incredibly high.  I wouldn't miss that for the world. 

Even if I need to watch from the sidelines.

think how great would be to see them performing something in the line of COD in front of that crowd

That would be excellent..even if buzz just stood up there and let his guitar ring out feedbacking and dale just pounded the snot of his gong, it would STILL be better than sitting through a Down set, I presume. And by the end...I would be in such awe from the Melvins set I would happily go home without having to witness any anselmo antics..sorry, down.





































thanks, but no thanks

Melvins in Seattle '92 second Paramount show.......aural-corporal punishment on Soundgarden fans due to smartass remark by Seattle Times hack scribe.

Melvins in Albuquerque '97, some theater downtown ....vicious sonic assault on Helmet fans for a couple of them throwing stuff; it was beautiful.
