how many times have you seen melvins live?

[black stallion]

why keep goin on with this thread?we have a winner 

[possie]

First show was in february 1991 - the Hague, Holland. Last ones were two consecutive nights in Vienna this year.  Rarely missed a beat in between when they would visit The Netherlands. Fond memories of the Cameron Jamie Kranky Klaus live soundtrack show in Middelburg, 2004.  I guesstimate that makes a fortnight of Melvins at least.  I bow down to the mighty Jules who i may have spilled my beer on at the Haarlem show, 2011.

I might have a few more under my belt, but I'm very jealous of you getting to see that 87 show!

What was drunk Lukin doing at the 1990 show? Just to hammered to play?

The 87 show was the moment they became my favorite band - full Star Trek uniformed Melvins.

The 1990 show was with Lorax on bass. Matt Lukin was there and got up on stage at some point during the Melvins set and started going off in the mic about how he used to be in the band. Bouncers removed him.

[zlbenson]

There's no way to compare to some of ya'll - but I'm somewhere around 17 or 18. I lost count recently. First time was in 1997, I think, when they were on tour with Helmet and Skeleton Key. I was 14 and it was at First Ave in MPLS.

[anaconda]

Many times.

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

Many times.

Same here, I wouldn't have any idea how many times, though.
