Melvins Videos Thread (and much more)

[))))((((]

On second inspection, i guess that's not HAZE. A younger guy there. Is Gareth their guitar tech or something since he hands Buzz his guitar? It cracks me up how bored he looks throughout though.

Yes, Gareth was in the crew for the first leg. He usually does tech and merch in Europe but he was brought it for the US this time.

Charming gentleman, that Gareth Turner.

In 2004 (dont quote me) Melvins played a few venues where they played live as a soundtrack to this movie. It was awesome. I think Adam Jones and Sir DSS played as well. The UCLA show was part of the arts series, so you had a lot of older art patrons that wouldn't usually see the Melvins. Dale ran around the crowd with a cymbal at one point, banging it.

Saw this in Nov 2003 in Brighton - the band played behind the screen so you didn't see anything but their silhouettes right at the end. Blinding gig.

They also did some (one?) of these performances with Japanese guitarist/vocalist/weirdo Keiji Haino ... that is something I woulda loved to see ... dig Keiji Haino a tonne; saw him live once, it was blisteringly otherworldly.

I can't recall if it was this forum or DFFD years ago that mentioned the Melvins/Haino performance but I recall the person in question describing the set as kind of disjointed, where Haino got into full noise mode while the Melvins ignored him and just did their own thing for the set.

I like how you can hear Jeff's rumbling, nasty bass guitar pretty good on this one. 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I also like how at 25:00 Dale reminds us that these songs aren't the easiest to play, even after a few hundred takes.  They make it look easy, folks.

Buzz's smile at Dale fucking up...  That's being in a band and understanding, after all these years...

[Rusty Shackleford]

And Dale looks right at him for a second...

[Rusty Shackleford]

...and they both come out and kill it even harder the next take... 

That's what it all is, my friends...

you're right, first time i see Dale doing a mistake... that part of the song is really hard to play indeed, if you miss a beat it can be very difficult to continue.. still 100%  true rock n roll
