And a few others I didn't recognize right off the bat. Steven sang one song. First time seeing them with a Steven and he's fucking great. Love his energy. Didn't stay for EODM. Never listened to them but there was no way they could even come close to matching The Melvins on any level

[GrimReaper]

Good call on the Lovely Butterfly intro!!

Steve is singing Savior Machine, here's the original:

"Saviour Machine"


President Joe once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge

So he told them his scheme for a Saviour Machine

They called it the Prayer, its answer was law
Its logic stopped war, gave them food
How they adored till it cried in its boredom

'Please don't believe in me, please disagree with me

Life is too easy, a plague seems quite feasible now
or maybe a war, or I may kill you all

Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn so send me away

Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine

I need you flying, and I'll show that dying

Is living beyond reason, sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind

Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn so send me away

Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a Saviour Machine

I am very much looking forward to hearing their version of Saviour Machine.
This years set-list is anyway close to perfect for me!

Redd Kross is not opening currently on the US tour right?
They will be in Europe and I wonder if they will also play all of the Teen Babes album... (maybe excluding Saviour Machine...). Man, I am so excited for the Melvins / Redd Kross combo!
