how many times have you seen melvins live?

[jules]

I would much rather go see the Melvins in Grand Rapids any day then step foot in Detroit,

You wouldn't recommend Detroit for a winter break, then?

Definitely not I will say that it has gotten better over the past few years, but, yeah, it's still a dump.

Grand Rapids is for pussies.

Yeah, okay.

sorry but I have to go with erichka on this one.  GR is indeed for pussies.   

but that doesn't mean I won't go there to see a show.

Your opinion has been duly noted and I still don't give a shit what either one of you think

Hey Glen, was it Big Business with Torche? Because they played on my side of town, too.
Check this out. This video needs its own thread

Idlehanz: Impressive. Most Impressive.

[Jozzy]

And the whole "Grand Rapids is for pussies" is laughable. You and Glen are basically saying Detroit is a dump yourselves   What, not enough crime and burned out buildings in Grand Rapids for your liking?

I remember Melvins83 played the first night and Melvins played the second.  They didn't play again on the third day? I really can't remember.  I'll have to find the program and amend my list if not.

Would have been more but I missed out on a lot of shows due to not turning 21 until 1998.  And the 2003-2005 shows were missed due to some bullshit.

IN Feltch??
