asshole

 

[unclelube]

I've seen the Melvins 25 times since 1999.

[BERZERKER]

I prefer to keep it exclusive, one time per tour is more than enough, you simply can't get the same kick seeimg them, if it's Groundhog Day for the 10th time. And Melvins aren't dependant on single fans catching as many gigs as possible, that ticket would have been sold anyhow.

[Idlehanz]

you simply can't get the same kick seeimg them, if it's Groundhog Day for the 10th time.

Yes, you can.

[Idlehanz]

asshole

 

Yep!

[glen]

I prefer to keep it exclusive

.............said the dude in Norway that gets a MELVINS show every 5 years.

[glen]

asshole

 

Yep!

jealousy is a motherfucker.

[Idlehanz]

asshole

 

Yep!

jealousy is a motherfucker.

I chose to take my first vacation where I've had more than 7 days off in a row to follow the boys for a few shows.  Couldn't have made a better decision.  It was amazing.

[glen]

the man lives the dream.

[BERZERKER]

Seeing Melvins live is the ultimate, but for me personally it would kind of destroy the experience seeing Melvins 5 more times the same tour. But I totally respect that Idle and others have another view. Just to take a band that's trailing right behind Melvins, in my book, Motorosycho, who shall play an exclusive gig in Bergen for just 350 people in september. I waited till the tickets were avaliable and was glad as hell when I made the purchase. The gig sold out in two hours. What happens some days extra is that the announce a extra gig the day before. Am I happy? No way, rather angry, because it makes it to accessible again, less unique. Some might cheer and buy an extra ticket, no way for me.
