TWINS OF EVIL tour!

[spliff(TONE)]

you can totally feel it's not Dale playing

Yes. Which made the gig feel slightly off. Not something the casual listener would notice.

I can see what you mean but be sure after a few gigs in the tour he will be totally ok! obviously his style is different than Dale's so it will never be exactly the same, still i see no other drummer could do a better performance of this stuff, which is not so easy to play

I get that it's not Crover but Willis was absolutely outstanding the very first show of this tour. Zero criticisms from both myself and any of the other people I attended the show with.

Sorry aA, but hard disagree.  After this next week I can say I've seen them over 30 times since 1994.  Dale's vocals have always been almost as impactful as his drumming.

While I fully appreciate Crover's vocals, there is no way in hell that they are anywhere near as impactful as his legendary drumming skills. I've also seen the Melvins live 30ish times (since 1998 in my case).

They should hide all lyrics from Steven. Keep that dude off the mic at all cost haha. To me, He butchered a history of bad men at the NC show.

I agree. He's a talented bassist (as well as an energetic showman) and his singing might otherwise be fine but it really doesn't fit in the Melvins. Not really a fan of any of the songs he's written/performed for the Melvins to be honest.

The holy trinity of Melvins bassists is Kevin, Mark and Trevor in that order. Steven is a LONG way down the list.

I'd put Jared Warren right near the top of the list; especially if we're factoring in vocals.

Sorry to blow this thread up! Forgot about this site and this is the first time I've pulled it up in years.

I'm surprised how much I enjoy just watching them soundcheck. I could gladly take an extended five minute single of Buzz vocalizing the word "check" like he does here. Has a bit of a Tomahawk 'Anonymous' vibe.

What cover does Steven start to sing with the whole band around 9:00?

Sir, that is The Rolling Stones! 
Bitch

Fascinating as it is to see these little insights, whenever i see clips of bands soundchecking it reminds me that life on the road must be pretty grating after a while. I know bands attempt to look enthused as they play through the hits they have played a million times before during a gig, yet having to stand around going though endless soundchecking must be a huge drag. Especially night after night. I'd just want to get up there and do my set - no messing around with soundchecks and shouting "check" over and over. A necessary evil of course though if they want it to sound good and they can hear what's going on. Actually in these videos that sound guy with the squeaky voice is more irritating than going through the checks!

can't be more annoying than a regular job

True. Also are those videos the WHOLE soundcheck? If so i guess it doesn't actually take as long, or is as annoying, as i thought.
