Hi all.
This is my first post.
I've been reading the forum for years and though I'd mentioned some news.
Through some close sources I've been told that Down and the Melvins will be touring for two months at the end of the summer.
What do you all think?? How do you all feel about Down.
Lates
Malmificus
Every time I hear down I feel like I'd rather be listening to Pantera. I never got into their music, but they're talented musicians.
Phil Anselmo's Down? Are you sure?
sell outs!
Yes.
I have no reason to lie about this. I could be wrong but am 99% sure. I guess we'll just have to wait a see till they announce something. Its supposed to start in August. Where about I have no clue.
I hope it's true. The Porn-Big Business-Melvins line up is getting tired.
I can't see it happening, but I guess we'll find out how reliable your sources are :P
This sounds highly unlikely.
hey, buzz bashed jello and they ended up recording and touring,
why would this be any different just cuz buzz called anselmo
a feather brain in the past.
We need to see a Rage Against the Machine-Down-Melvins tour.
that would be fucking amazing, i saw DOWN at the showbox sodo and they are the real deal...but i honestly don't see this happening.
An unlikely pairing to be sure. Maybe Buzz and Phil will sing a duet.

Buzz and Phil should start a Pantera cover band.
phil should choke on a turd.
I hope they play in a town near me.
never happen.
if it does, it won't happen for me...well, the Down part anyway.
I'd rather see them tour with, well, anyone else...anselmo's a douche.
I'm more bothered by the idea of being stuck in a room filled with Anselmo fans than being stuck in a room with Anselmo himself

I'd rather it be Down fans than Pantera fans.
this makes no sense on so many levels. I don't buy it... yet. seeing will be believing.
^ What he said.
Also if it did happen, maybe they would play my town? Anselmo's bands usually play here when they're touring. That would make me so very happy. Melvins haven't played here since the early 90's, and unfortunately I didn't attend. The 'fans' would suck though, a crowd full of Hot Topic kids, rednecks, and frat boys. :|

I know Jimmy Bower is a huge melvins fan, so who knows? If the money was right I am sure they would take the gig regardless of what they thought of Down.
hey, at least it's the melvins.

Nonsense. I would hate to see the Melvins play with that idiot's band, and I don't think they're that desperate where they'd tour with them in attempt to reach that fanbase. If they did and it came to my town, I'd hope the Melvins would play first so I could leave immediately after.
I agree, Phil's fans are worse than Phil.
Who cares who they tour with..... on the other hand, I do think Down is super CRAPTASTIC & .......aww Fuck, that would totally suck if they toured w/Down..........but the Melvins did tour w/ fucking Folk Implosion, Primus,Rush,Kiss & did a Lollapalozers.............so anything is possible.....and yeah, Phil is a dumb fuck redneck douche nozzle of the highest order. I guess I would still go to the show.
This is partially correct, but to whom El Malmifico refers is 3 Doors Down.
And the adjective is malificus, pendejo cabr
Have any of you seen or watched an interview with Anselmo in the past year or so? He's a changed man. People change as they get older and become "more philosophical in the autumn years" and certainly that could be part of it, but I think a big part of it was Hurricane Katrina. As some of you may know, Anselmo was born and raised in New Orleans and it seems like Katrina drastically impacted his life, initially in a bad way but in the long run for the better. He's no longer the hyper-aggressive meathead fuckup that he was for so many years. Supposedly he even kicked heroin and alcohol, and only smokes weed nowadays.
The most recent Down album is pretty damn good too. Great band. Waaaaaay better than Pantera.
he's still a satanic idiot, not that i wouldn't join that group either. :P

no way. i would have to strongly disagree with that statement. I just can't get enough of the live sound of Dale and Coady playin drums together.,
This would totally kick-ass! Kirk Windstein and King Buzzo jamming together...sounds dangerous.
Down are starting a European tour next week, so they probably won't be going back so soon............I'm a gonna say US.
Here's hoping.

I thought your behavior seemed very appropriate for the setting. MEEEEEEEEEEELLVIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNSSSS!!!
assuming this story has merit:
first bitch: bigger venues. more expensive tickets.
second bitch: down fans. imagine the oil & water scenario this creates. intelligence and creativity versus "DIMEBAG FOREVER!! WWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MELVINS fans hurling witty and humorous insults. DOWN fans hurling bottles and fists.
third bitch: I'll be forced to listen to another racist laden spew from anselmo.
I could go on and on. all for naught though since if it happens in detroit I'll be there.
isn't possible Coady was referring to this when he talked of a Melvins tour in July?
http://www.treblezine.com/features/195.html
QuoteTreble: What do you guys have planned for the summer now that the new album is out?
Coady: We're doing like a week with the Melvins in June. We're going to play the Fuji rock fest in Japan. Then we're going on tour with the Melvins in July. I think we're going to try and record a new Melvins record.
I have enormous faith in Buzz. He would never join forces with anything that would be contrary to the MELVINS Melviness.

I'm not for the pairing of Down and the Melvins in the least, but I'd still go to the show just to see the Melvins. I'm pretty sure this is nothing more than some dude trying to hijack the board.

Read that again farty. That's a MINUS White Zombie. I did deal with their boneheads and their awful pre-recorded tracks. Sorry if that wasn't clearer. Make no mistake, I'm not a fan.
Though that song Iggy was on I do kinda like.

I like the way you think
Am i the only person here who likes Melvins and Down equally??? :? They're both great bands, okay perhaps Melvins are a tad more awesome and certainly the more adventurous but Down have good points too. I kinda agree with the fan mentality thing tho. Alot of Down fans (or perhaps more those who were previosuly Pantera diehards) do seem to have the whole Dimebag thing going on, plus would on the whole be more aggressive in nature than Melvins fans. Although that ain't to say that there aren't sweet natured folk who like them either. On the point of Anselmo being a racist he really isn't. That whole thing was blown up by the media. Alot of those things that were said or wrote about were miss- interpretated. Watch Phil in interviews nowadays and you can see he's a changed man. More humble, more considerate. I've seen countless shows were he's stopped the band to check if someone in the audience is okay and certainly with Down its all about creating a family vibe to just enjoy the show. I'd love to see a Melvins/Down gig although i doubt it will ever happen.

the idea alone is enough to start a tingling in my nether-regions.
and as far as anselmo... all I know is I saw pantera about a million years ago and anselmo took 5 minutes of my time to rant about how black people thought they were better than everyone else. and "we" as white people should have more pride in ourselves and blah blah blah. it came across very... segregational.
but anyway... anyone who uses their time between songs to say things like *imagine in a deep bad-ass voice*: "I'm tired of you motherfuckers staring at me. don't stare at me unless you want to fight. and you'll lose. I wanna see you motherfuckers go crazy out there."
sounds somewhat ignorant. wether they are or not, they sound it.
does this sound even remotely like the mentality of MELVINS? this is why I say its a strange combination. not just musically, but philosophically.
*another trivial post since if it happens I will be throwing my money at it*
he said that? Ive never cared for pantera but man, what a douche.
and: money talks, baby.
so, who's gonna be the opening act :lol:

I always thought that was just apart of Pantera's image. Tongue and cheek kind of way...you know Pantera in the 80's then they changed to this aggressive tough-guy band. just an image.
Maybe the rest of the band was like that...but Phil actually takes this tough guy act seriously and doesn't realise it.
Phil comes across as a huge dickhead (although in recent interviews I have seen he is definitely more humble), but that bieng said, I do like the bands he's been in (Pantera, Down, Arson Anthem). From a crowd standponit though, a Melvins + Down show is just asking for trouble.
Maybe the Melvins could do a wall of death.

Coming from the guy who used to write letters to GG Allin. :P
that would be a weird combo. i enjoy both bands, but all the wannabe tough guy anselmo fanatics are definitely annoying. Jimmy Bower and Kirk Windstein are cool though.
I met Kirk Windstein at a english style pub in Metairie, Louisiana once. Really really nice guy. Also, I just google'd him and found out we share a birthday.
How about Chuck Norris and The Melvins?
Chuck Norris doesn't play guitar. He stares it down until it makes the music he wants to hear.

Last time I saw Down it was something like that except, you could barely understand what he was saying he was slurring so much. Sometimes he would just trail off like he fell asleep standing up, and he rambled on for so long the other band members just sat down and got comfortable. Yeah,
that's what I paid to see. :?

I was searching for information on a Down Tour for this summer, and found a groupie site discussing Phil Anselmo. The babble of groupies on this site will make your head hurt. I think I've lost a little respect for humanity. There were posts asking if anyone has slept with members of Flipper. No Melvins posts to be found.

no for two reasons.

Trent Reznor had a great post on his own forum the other day about that exact website. Great background info on Metal Sludge:

Sounds like they're basically the reason for Trent leaving the internet after a very communicative stint that was fairly amusing most of the time.
Trent Reznor... wow. He's got nerve calling out other people. Not only is he nasty looking but he's got about as much talent as something average people leave in the toilet.

Did you attend Irvington High in Fremont?
i dont care what you fuckers say. down is fuckin sweet. this will be epic
Melvins should headline I would think.
But doesn't Down have a larger following? Maybe they'll both get a set of equal length
True, but Melvins have the legacy of 25 years. I think down would defer to that.
I hope that's the case. I'm hoping Down's music translates better live. Musically speaking, I can't complain, but Phil's vocals really turn me off on a lot of these tracks.

Yup, sure did, i live a few blocks down the street from the school.

Well since he outed it......it must be true :) Good, I could use a few more shows. Now to familiarize myself with Down a little more.
:lol:
it was fun while it lasted, the whole idea that this WASN'T happening. :P
Hopefully it means more money to melvins, so bigger production on the next album, which will mean bigger drum sound???
:lol:
I give this a big meh. Especially since I'm considering they haven't played in CA yet this year and they definitely will this time around. If the Melvin's open for Down, I would not stay for Down.
of course down will be headlining, no doubt about it.

True, but Melvins have the legacy of 25 years. I think down would defer to that.
what kind of legacy did tomahawk have on the geek tour?

they had mike patton of faith no more fame = bigger legacy
down has phil anselmo of pantera fame = bigger legacy
as buzz said, the world isn't a right place, but what can you do? grab the money.
Down should be the MELVINS roadies & be thankful that they are in the same room together.

and maybe Phil Anslemo will sing on the next Melvins album :shock:
My initial reaction to this tour was one of dismay and disappointment. There's absolutely no way I would attempt to be front row for the Melvins in a room full of Down fans. I would be annihilated. After a solid decade of seeing them every chance I could get would I opt out on this Melvins tour all together? Is that even possible?
But then I realized that after two or three nights of playing to rooms populated with people who, for the most part, don't get your music, the chances of sets of "Jacksonville"-sized proportions are incredibly high. I wouldn't miss that for the world.
Even if I need to watch from the sidelines.
think how great would be to see them performing something in the line of COD in front of that crowd :o

That would be excellent..even if buzz just stood up there and let his guitar ring out feedbacking and dale just pounded the snot of his gong, it would STILL be better than sitting through a Down set, I presume. And by the end...I would be in such awe from the Melvins set I would happily go home without having to witness any anselmo antics..sorry, down.
thanks, but no thanks

Melvins in Seattle '92 second Paramount show.......aural-corporal punishment on Soundgarden fans due to smartass remark by Seattle Times hack scribe.
Melvins in Albuquerque '97, some theater downtown ....vicious sonic assault on Helmet fans for a couple of them throwing stuff; it was beautiful.

I'm not sure what to think. Everything I've heard from Down has been ok at best and Pantera fans are usually idiots. Plus I don't want to pay an estimated $25+ if the Melvins aren't playing for over an hour.
There is also going to be an opening act for the tour.
So yea that means short set for the melvins. I don't think down is that bad but the tickets might be to much.
In direct opposition to everyone else i'd actually be more interested in Down headlining and the thought of a COD style Melvins show sounds fine by me! I must be in a minority i guess! :P

like I said.. if it hits motown I'll be there. it'll take alot more than down to shake my MELVINS foundations.
plus.. you didn't expect it, did you? my hats off to buzz & dale for another offspeed pitch. and somewhere deep down inside I see the thought process. the cult factor was getting high.

Yes, who is Hawkins and Malmificus?!? How does Hawkins know about the Gaydee bug?
I'm more interested in Malf. Everyone knows about Ritchie.
And Malf's from around my parts.
HMMMMMM. This is quite the interesting development. But I would go see the Melvins even if they toured with Celine Dion. Hey that's not such a bad idea.

But I know for sure it wasn't good."
:lol:
the crowds at melvins shows...their headlining tour shows...have a fair share off assholes in them. this tour is sure to have the king's bounty of them.
I'll only go if the Melvins are headlining, because there will be plenty of room to rawk after the Down fans leave.
But speaking realistically, I don't see dealing with heavy metal meathead goons as my idea of a fun night. I put up with Tool's audiences a handfull of times (but I like Tool). Anselmo's king douche of that whole gang of idiots who go to see him wail.
this blows.

Exactly. If the melvins open, I can see them, and then leave.
THROW IT! THROW IT! THROW IT!
I liked that first down record a long time ago. I still like EYEHATEGOD and most of Jimmy's stuff, so I am interested in this.
The big melvins have great potential to turn out a wall of sound unlike any other line up of the band that I can think of.
A whole show of stuff like what they used to close the 07 shows would be fun.
i think this pairing makes perfect sense, buzz likes to throw curveballs
at his audience. so when you least expect it they go and decide to tour
with an act like down. there's great potential here for more crossover
to another demographic. watch them tour with slayer next! pretty soon
they will have toured with everbody's he's talked shit about in the past:
jello, anselmo, slayer, etc... :o
HOLY SHIT IS THIS AWESOME!!! FINALLY, THE MELVINS ARE GOING TO BE OPENING FOR A TOP NOTCH ACT WHO CAN HELP THEM IN THE LONG RUN!!! THIS IS GREAT NEWS FRIENDS!!! 8) 8) 8)
ANY WORD ON WHERE THEY'RE PLAYING YET? WITH DOWN ON THE BILL THEY'LL PROBABLY GET TO PLAY SOME BIGGER VENUES TOO!!! 8)
Keep it down up there. ^

just checked out this 'band' to see why dey are supportin Down. this shit is fuckin lame. Boring as slow, boring reptitive drone shit.
The guys vocals are fuckin ghey too. they shudnt even been alowed to tour with down.
WOW. :? I PERSONALLY THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MELVINS, DESPITE WHAT OTHERS AROUND HERE THINK.
It's a good opportunity for down.
This is good, before too long we'll get to witness real life "melvins is gay" type remarks around here.

The Melvins rule, although the last record in my opinion sucked, it lacked the heavyness they coined in Porch treatments and finally peeked with in Houdini. Having said that, this is a good move by the Melvins, they need the money like anybody else, you so called melvins fans need to get over yourselves.
Yes I am a fan of Down, it's not Pantera, the completely opposite, the music is heavy and honest, they all are seasoned and well respected musicians. The fan base is not as fuct up as most of you would have hoped.
And I only like Ministry's "Land of Rape and Honey"
it cud be worse...

Your right, Pepper is a 1,000 times better singer than Phil.
I can see this is going to be a whole lot of fun to read over the next few months. Hooray for internet bashing and crying.
I'm looking forward to this no matter what. Personally I'd like to see the Melvins headline ( longer set ), but either way, I'm going. I'll keep my ass out of the pit and have eyes in the back of my head, but I'll be there.

Then tell your mom, not me.
Right, I can't be arsed with this trolling shit anymore, it's too easy.
To be honest, you lot have all come across vastly more ignorant and idiotic than the Down fans. I was fucking excited when I heard Melvins had been added, I like them and appreciate their music.
Then I heard that apparently the Melvins' fans weren't too happy. I checked it out. You lot are making fools of yourselves. The two bands are close friends producing music with many crossover fans. Both bands even consider Sabbath as their major influnece. I can't see why you lot see this as such an offensive tour.

To be honest, you lot have all come across vastly more ignorant and idiotic than the Down fans. I was fucking excited when I heard Melvins had been added, I like them and appreciate their music.
Then I heard that apparently the Melvins' fans weren't too happy. I checked it out. You lot are making fools of yourselves. The two bands are close friends producing music with many crossover fans. Both bands even consider Sabbath as their major influnece. I can't see why you lot see this as such an offensive tour.

1.Down is worse than Pantera.(I.M.O.)
2.You are a Super Douche.
3.Phil will always be an A1 Asshole.
4.Fuck you.
5.Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out,BITCH.
I'm pretty sure that there are quite a few Pantera fans that are also fans of Down.

No, does it look like I've been trying to display any intelligence? I've been playing into your preconceived perceptions of Down fans and it proves your ignorance perfectly.
Down fans are a million miles away from Pantera fans. Clearly never heard of the Brotherhood of Eternal Sleep... Down fans are tight, true group of fans who appreciate real music.
I also wouldn't consider either band to be considerably 'heavier' than the other, so I don't know where these thoughts of angry stampeding circle pits has come from. It's stoner/blues/doom metal at the end of the day, people are their to bang their head. Slowly.

I'm not playing into anyone's preconceived perceptions of Down fans. I've been listening to Down (off and on) since about '98 or so when a friend played 'em for me. I always thought it was pretty decent and definitely recorded better than Pantera (if not musically superior). They're pretty standard though when put up against a band with such a vast and diverse catalog such as the Melvins. When Down releases their Colossus Of Destiny come back and chat with us.
I assume you mean "Colossus of Destiny", which I've personally never heard of.
"members of the audience were lying on the ground, covering their ears during this performance."
If that is supposedly their musical peak, I think I'll pass. Compared to NOLA, arguably the most well respected stoner/doom/sludge album of all time, I know where I stand.
Down are probably alot more diverse than you expect, it isn't all Bury Me In Smoke. They've got light, acoustic tracks, instrumentals, bouncy crowd moving tracks, 9 minute progressing epics.
At the end of the day, one band is headlinging stages at festivals whilst the other is struggling to keep playing. Neither of them are more 'commercially acceptable'. Make your own decisions as to what that means. I know it definitely means Melvins will be supporting for one.

Thanks for the heads up on the spelling. Yeah that's the one. Certainly not the Melvins' pinnacle, but a fine example of their diversity. Because the Melvins have such a vast back catalog it's impossible to pick one album as THE pinnacle, and if you ask on the board here you'll get thirty different answers as to what their best album is. They're ALL fucking brilliant though. I'll have to check out some more Down and see if I'm down. I admittedly haven't heard a lot of their music, but none of it has compelled me to go and seek out their other material either. Bottom line is everyone has different tastes. It'll certainly be interesting to see each band's fans reaction to the other band at the shows.

"stoner/doom/sludge album of all time, I know where I stand. "
Not even close.Try 'Lysol'......or any Earth,SunnO, Electric Wizard,Acid King......any John Denver album,Devo,Wham, Big Country....they would all come before any Down album.
That was a more civilised response.
After all that, you've barely even listened to the band? They've only had 3 records out in 15 years, in which time Melvins have put out 11. Despite this Down are experiencing considerable more success. I'd put that to Down producing higher quality albums personally...
That's all obviously to do with personal tastes, but I can't see what the huffuffle is all about, Down's planned support bands were Hank III (countrypunk), Evil Army (old school thrash) and Acid King (super doomy stoner metal), which I'd consider a much more varied choice than Melvins. It sounds like they've had odd support bands in the past themselves.
"Down producing higher quality albums"......HA!

That's your opinion, but I think the reality of it is that they've put out 3 much more mainstream albums than the Melvins have ever produced. There isn't a single Melvins album that doesn't have some weird shit on it, and that turns a lot of people off. It's also what draws many of us to them. Part of the deal with the Melvins/Buzz is trying to do something new all the time and throwing their fans curve balls. That makes it difficult to have any kind of mainstream success, even within a subset of music listeners such as metal fans. Hey some people think Pearl Jam is a great band. Go figure.
Fair enough. On the albums I've got (Bullhead & Stoner Witch) I thought it was relatively...regular really.
Neither band have benefited from commercial recognition (TV/radio play)
Remember that Down are producing these albums as a SIDE-PROJECT, in their 'down' time. They don't have time to fuck around with experimental tracks, when the album/tour is done they've got to go back and write awesome CoC, Crowbar, EHG etc albums.
Quote from: >>>JZS<<< on June 14, 2009, 09:18:00 AM
Down should be the MELVINS roadies & be thankful that they are in the same room together.
One of the best cover bands I ever heard was the KISS roadie band. KISS did a decent cover of the Stones'
"The Last Time" in soundcheck.
What are the chances that Down practices in the same practice space in LA as the MELVINS?
Uh Oh, we've pissed off the Down fans.
[attachment deleted by admin]
You do realise it was the other way round?
Down fans were stoked to hear about a tour, Melvins fans were bitching because they didn't like the other act.
Also, considering Melvins make music to "lay on the floor and block your ears" to, who's sporting the cavemen mentality?

This is getting old.........on both sides.
I'm actually surprised to hear so much bitching. I'm just happy to get to see the Melvins again this year and I'll be giving Down a chance. I've said it before......You cannot judge a band until you've seen them live.

The main reason it's upsetting is because shows are more fun if the whole audience is into it. Even if the Downs fans do like it it's just not the same.

It's called a joke. And everyone doesn't have to be a hardcore fan but it's nice when people like the band in advance.
Damn it ! I am going to give Down a chance & save my opinion till after I see the show. :D
hook line and sinker.
Fuck as this bitching and moaning! Where are the goddamn tour dates!
Yeah,dates.
wow this thread got going fast. most of us melvins freaks that are gonna see this will probably actually like downs set. I gotta say there pretty good live. Down fans will proabably not like the melvins cuz its not hardcore enough. The von douche guy is a real douche. especially how he said down has more sucsess then melvins, well no shit fucker, all down fans are pantera fans, believe me, the people who love pantera fuckin beat their meat to phil and dime. I cant wait for this crowd to clash, ill be there, in the pit. Fucking shit up. GREAT WAY TO TAKE OUT AGGRESSION.

I'm looking forward to this no matter what. Personally I'd like to see the Melvins headline ( longer set ), but either way, I'm going. I'll keep my ass out of the pit and have eyes in the back of my head, but I'll be there.
i agree!! this is great!
The tour will start in august and will be two months. I don't know the the dates or cities. I wish they would do a tour with zu or lightning bolt
why does anyone feel the need to push their fratpig metal band on others? I'm not giving Down a chance, because I've already heard the music. I hate anselmo's singing and I'm not into their type of shit.
who care's if Melvins fans don't want to see you're crappo band? go circle jerk with your 16K fans on your board while we wallow in our "ignorance," K?
but one thing you said struck me as odd...the bit about the Melvins struggling to play while Down is an arena band. the odd part is Melvins have never had to struggle to play. they've never fucking stopped playing. never missed gigs or broke up bands like a certain junkie singer with a deep voice.
can't wait to not hear anselmo's latest rap about fucking shit up with his heavy music. even the worst melvins tracks are heavier than anything anselmo ever dreamed of.

If the melvins do in fact open for down, i think that all melvins fans shall leave after the melvins play and see how many peopl are lefft! my guess would be, not that many.
down could sound exactly like the melvins, the fact that phil is involved makes me wanna puke. fuck anselmo, and its much more personal for me than it is for all of you down fangirls and your opinions. if i went to the down board and started blah blahing about melvins being better than down, it would result in the same flamewar. so fuck off if you don't like what you read!

Quite enjoyful to read the messageboard of Down, their fans hasn`t got much good to say about the forumists of our fine board. But Melvins as a band they love.
How could they not? I don`t care if they like the band I love, I do not like Down, I think. (although I haven`t heard the poor bastards)

Right, I can't be arsed with this trolling shit anymore, it's too easy.
To be honest, you lot have all come across vastly more ignorant and idiotic than the Down fans. I was fucking excited when I heard Melvins had been added, I like them and appreciate their music.
Then I heard that apparently the Melvins' fans weren't too happy. I checked it out. You lot are making fools of yourselves. The two bands are close friends producing music with many crossover fans. Both bands even consider Sabbath as their major influnece. I can't see why you lot see this as such an offensive tour.
The aggressive nature of Down fans to which less than a handful of Melvins fans have been referring to is rather clear here. You spent time researching how a select few people feel because you "heard they were taking shit". SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE. SO, you proceed to infiltrate a message board with intent to troll (a misdemeanor in some states) so you can fool everybody into thinking you are as dumb as you think they think you MAY be. Then, in true Wicker Man fashion, you're great plan is revealed and HOORAH, (everyone GASPS) and you REALLY embarrass the fools for their sheer ignorance. Wait a minute, are you serious? This is your life?
Secondly, to beat a troll, you have to step into the mind of a troll, and go to the message bridge where trolls come from...
Here are some quotes from your message board, one that you apparently ARE THE VOICE OF and has nothing bad to say about the Melvins:
"I was listeing to eggnog before ANYBODY fucking knew who the melvins were....
like 1991
they fucking suck......
puke
I hate that band now really not a band cause they get new bass players every five minutes..
they fucking come out on stage wearing capes for gods sake....
I think we should all head over to that board and start educating the retarded masses....
that music sucks...
it had its place back in the day but holy shit why did they stay so popular?
crap pure fucking crap
down is gonna blow these weirdos right off the stage....
and congrats to the melvins for finally getting to play in front of a big crowd...
buzzo needs to thank the band for the holy interaction"
From someone who must prove he has cred because of both age AND hate. Just as people call him out on it, proving one person doesn't speak for everyone on a message board, please realize that everyone on here has opinions, and they are just that.

Is it just me, or did shouting guy just say that where he lives (reality, in case you missed it), if the Melvins are the openers, then they're the better band. Then he contradicts himself immediately by saying the Melvins will open for a better band. He's just sayin.

I bet this shit doesn't even happen.
..and probably doesn't happen because
that idiot down drummer spilled the
beans before anything was set in stone.
Melvins are better than this.
I do applaud them for trying to make some money,
but down suck huge shaggy balls and most likely
drink alot...not to mention snort the coke and bang
the herion. Buzz won't like that a bit.

SO ARE YOU HOLDING OUT FOR A MELVINS TOUR WITH NUGENT AND GENE SIMMONS?
ive never heard that idiot drummer playing but i have heard him playing guitar and i have to say he has a pretty sweet tone and nasty sound.
i really don't care much who the melvins decide to play with. there are always gonna be douchebags. at atp i had some drunk idiot skinhead in front of me trying to do some sort of slamdance during boris, maybe the guy didnt even like down?
and its totally irrelevant what those other guys are like personally, i myself dont know any of them on a personal level, and from what i have understood buzz likes to take it easy on tour anyway, so who does what doesn't really matter. but thanks for your concerns, its the thought that counts.
Arent you forgetting Kirk Windstein is in the band? Im surprised when an early version of Crowbar, the Slugs, and the Melvins played together in New Orleans in 1990 the town remained in place...

10 grand! Go Glen.
we really shouldn't make any more comparisons between pantera and down. instead, the comparisons between down and the really shitty post mike dean c.o.c. records make more sense. down is boring detuned skynard wannabe redneck metal.
Your mama is boring detuned skynard wannabe redneck metal.
hey! whoa now!
lets not go there. lets not bring mamas into this. lets try to remember we're all civilized people here. no need to go down the mama road.
Well you're so ugly your ears stick out to get away from your face.
Hey Glen, I went down your mama's road, let's just say they need to allocate more money in the budget for maintenance, if you know what I mean.
the melvins are my favorite band

wait! You're right, it was the guitarist....
or was it.
My post was a joke. So is DOWN.
I'd still buy a ticket to get my hands on a
"see you in hell" shirt from the melvins
and a chance to see "Boris" live again.
Now I listened to some Down, and the verdict is that the music is ok, but the vocals aren`t. Can sound pretty ok live I guess. Liked "Bury me in smoke". Good guitar. A new singer would make it severly much better.
I don't post a lot but I've been ghost reading on this forum for almost five years now. (and it's the only forum I've looked at since the official Ipecac one closed)
I've come to the conclusion that as a true Melvins fanboy at heart living in the American South I was:
a.) the only one "here" that was REALLY excited about this bill, as a fan of both Melvins and Down (sporting a Pantera shirt as I type)
b.) the only one "here" that truly "gets it"... I mean come on guys, Buzz deciding to open for a Phil Anselmo-led band for their 25th anniversary tour... FUCKING CLASSIC MOVE
c.) the only one thinking that the Melvins, without question, SHOULD BE the openers on a bill like this (Weedeater playing first of course)
Lastly: a tour was supposed to come to fruition with Weedeater, Hank III, and Down earlier this year, it was actually announced... and now it's Weedeater, Melvins and Down. You see? You can play all sorts of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" type shit there and win in the first move. And Hank isn't playing in Europe until August 21 so yeah, expect all sorts of whiskey-drenched surprises on this tour.
Your Paw expect's all sorts of whiskey-drenched surprises on this tour!

I am just about in 100% agreement with this. I'm a huge fan of the Melvins, a huge fan of Weedeater, and while I'm not a HUGE fan of Down, I do like them. This sounds like a great show to me. I mean the Melvins have played with quite a few bands I can barely stand (Rush, Kiss, Tool, White Zombie, etc....), so let'em play with one great and one decent band.
It could be alot worse. For instance Melvins could have decided to collaborate with Zakk Wylde. Imagine if they were reduced to singing about beer and hell yeah and fuck yeah and I wanna fellate Ozzy and playing lightning fast meaningless shite solos. Zakk wylde personifies everything that is wrong with America or New Jersey at least.
Personally I think this whole Down vs. Melvins issue is overblown. Down have some excellent filthy distorted monster riffs, they perform well live and perhaps Melvins are even fans of their music. As for the whole Phil Anselmo is an idiot opinion, well since when was rock or metal made by intellectuals. When Phil doesn't take ten years to complete one sentence he can actually come acroos as quite articulate.
In interviews with Buzz I was never blown away by his genius opinions. He comes across as just an average iq Mc Donalds lover. He writes good tunes, he has integrity but he's not exactly Einstein and neither is Phil Anselmo. One thing I will say in defence of Down fans is that they definitely would not be gullible or stupid enough to buy a Down equivalent of "Colossus of Destiny" like all of us supposedly cultured and intelligent Melvins fans.

Word. I love Weedeater and kinda like Down, so I'm pretty content with the bill. If I remember right there was quite a few people bitching about how the Melvins were only playing with Big Biz...
this tour is about one thing... cash money. nothing else.
i'm sure buzz is getting some kicks out of this. putting the fans panties in a bunch having to deal with juggalos with no make up at every show.
up next: melvins open for skrewdriver!
If it were really about the money, the Melvins would be going on tour with the Jonas Brothers.

just thinking about how shitty the posters will be (if there are any) when the billing on them either equates the two bands or is topped with down.
I only saw the melvins open once for a "bigger" band...wasn't a good scene. I'll pass on this and wait until the next swing through NY...which won't be too long a wait, I'm sure.
one good thing about this tour is that it will be a chance for people in a bunch of cities to see them who normally don't. I'd imagine there will be many, many dates.
if it's a cash grab, good for them...if it's not, maybe then this can still be stopped?

Some of you act like Buzz and Dale are being held hostage and are being forced to go out on tour.
They're going to probably make some new fans and make some money. AND we're getting a chance to see them again.
Some people will bitch about anything and everything.

Read this and learn. This guy knows the truth.
looks like it's about time for a new poop thread :?
Melvins and Weedeater sounds great to me. I haven't really heard Down yet so I can't comment on them. But as long as there's no booing or douchy behaviour or whatnot I don't have a problem with it. Stuff like this just really annoys me. Just imagine they'd tour with Bullet for my Valentine or something similar.. then I'd understand all the bitching and fighting.. High on Fire did that once and it just sucked. But anyways, I agree, it's more money for the Melvins which is always a good thing. The only problem I'd have is that the Melvins wouldn't play as long as usual; but hell, they probably won't tour Europe anyway so I might as well quit hoping...
as much as I ain't a down fan...
the more I think about this the more I see the pro's.
another melvins/biz/porn tour would have reeked of stagnation.
my still-standing gripe though: the venues. 500 or less capacity clubs.. HIGHLY unlikely.
I'm thinking 1500 to 2000 capacity theaters. I'll pay the extra coin but to see the MELVINS behind a sea of sweaty, hairy, beating-the-fuck-out-each-other moshers as opposed to seeing my own reflection in Buzz's new guitar doesn't do much for me.
yet at the same time something tells me the buildings will be upside-down and it will be kinda fun.

WHILE THERE'S MOSHING AT DOWN SHOWS, I THINK YOU'RE OVERESTIMATING HOW BAD IT WILL BE. I CAN'T THINK OF A DOWN SHOW I'VE BEEN TO IN RECENT MEMORY WHERE THE MOSHING HAS REALLY BEEN ALL THAT BAD.
I just read over that thread at the DOWN message board that bUTTHOLEmAN posted.
now I feel all guilty and shit.
my apologies to down fans. in classic cynical sarcastic MELVINS fan fashion we've ripped them and their band pretty bad. they seem to have a much more open minded approach. I've decided to readjust my stance and back off with the digs until I actually see this band. honestly.. I am not horribly familiar with down's music besides a song here and a song there. I welcome all DOWN fans. except bigfil38. :)
oh, and this guy. who posted this on the down message board:
I was listeing to eggnog before ANYBODY fucking knew who the melvins were....
like 1991
they fucking suck......
puke
I hate that band now really not a band cause they get new bass players every five minutes..
they fucking come out on stage wearing capes for gods sake....
I think we should all head over to that board and start educating the retarded masses....
that music sucks...
it had its place back in the day but holy shit why did they stay so popular?
crap pure fucking crap
down is gonna blow these weirdos right off the stage....
and congrats to the melvins for finally getting to play in front of a big crowd...
buzzo needs to thank the band for the holy interaction

dude.. you crack me up. did you happen to read what they posted about you?
" Now some fail-troll has signed up, not sure if from our boards or theres. Either way, trying to make Down fans look like idiots."
I THINK THEY ACCUSED ME OF BEING A MELVINS BOARD MEMBER POSTING AS AN ALIAS. :lol:
I agree with Glen, however I think Farty may be onto something as well. I don't have a personal gripe with Phil, but he seems like a giant tool. I can appreciate that Katrina was a humbling and life changing experience for him, and I'm glad that he made it through, but he still seems like a tool, and not the good Adam Jones kind of tool responsible for great gig posters and the virus on HAT (which for those who don't know is a synth, I'm guessing the bit at the end of The Fool, The Meddling Idiot).
It'll definitely be interesting to see how the show turns out. My only real gripe is that Melvins' set will likely be a bit shorter than normal. Especially after the recent show with '83, 2-piece, and Houdini sets.
Anyone know where Down usually plays in Seattle? I just hope to god it's not the Showbox SODO. That concrete box can ruin any show.
I see the mood has changed a whole lot here. People have realised they were actually being closeminded about Down's music (which the majority have admitted they've heard very little of) and their fans, who are welcoming of Melvins playing.
Kinda sounds like what I've been saying all along...

DAMMIT! That place is terrible. Even packed with people, it sounds like balls. You should hear how bad it is in there during soundchecks when it's empty. The worst standing-wave wash of reverb ever. Whoever came up with the brilliant idea to put a music venue in a concrete rectangle is an asshole. Useless venue.

WORST VENUE I'VE PROBABLY BEEN TO IS HEADLINER'S IN TOLEDO, OH. I SAW CLUTCH THERE, I THINK IN '08. THE SETLIST DIDN'T HELP, IMO, BUT THE PLACE IS JUST AN OLD MACHINERY SHOP. WE WERE IN THE MAIN ROOM (I GUESS THERE'S A SMALLER ROOM IN BACK THAT SOUNDS BETTER) AND THE ACOUSTICS WERE ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
MY FRIEND IN TOLEDO ASKED ME TO COME DOWN WHEN THEY PLAYED THERE RECENTLY AND I REFUSED TO GO BECAUSE OF THE SOUND
(WELL, THAT AND MY WIFE LAID THE LAW DOWN ON ME EVEN THINKING ABOUT GOING). I GUESS THEY PLAYED IN THE SMALLER ROOM THERE AND HE SAID IT WAS PRETTY DECENT, BUT HOTTER THAN HELL.

I totally agree. Showbox Market is a little smaller (1100 vs 1500 capacity), but sounds about a million times better.
The idea behind the trolling was basically to play up to the stereotype of Down fans which had been said in here. I can't actually remember why now :lol: Fo' shits'n'giggles?
I still resent the comment that the bands members haven't earned any respect. They are all incredibly hard working musicians who have been make music in countless bands for over 20 years.

I dig what you're saying there. perhaps my respect comment was slightly off. I do, or at least DID like COC at one time. pantera.. not so much. crowbar.. not so much. but the cats have the years in.
my point was that I can confidently say that SLAYER is held in higher esteem here than DOWN is.

To be honest, I liked Slayer when I was 14, but they grew boring and monotonous quick. To me;
Down
Crowbar
Superjoint Ritual
Eyehategod
Clearlight
Pantera
CoC
etc...is a display of constant varied music writing . Respectz from me.
im thinking that maybe the main difference between us all, is that melvins fans appreciate the slow, bassier things in life.
but i may be wrong. :P

ALL THOSE EXCEPT SJR AND EHG ARE GREAT. SJR IS STILL SOME OF THE WORST SHIT I'VE HEARD IN MY LIFE. EHG HAS SOME NICE RIFFS, BUT HAS SOME OF THE MOST EAR-BLEEDING, GOD-AWFUL VOCALS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.

Lololol I think that may be the only thing we have in common. Doom/stoner my favourite genre of music.
I'm also a massive fan of Dubstep...the slowest bassiest music ever created. If you haven't heard of it yet, it'll be taking over your electronic music scene soon 8)

I still like Slayer (and Testament, Exodus, etc.... mostly for nostalgic purposes). From your list there I definitely like Down, Eyehategod, and Pantera. CoC's earliest stuff still holds up, but I haven't really been impressed for years and years by them. I always kind of thought Crowbar and SJR were jokes. Weedeater are one of my favs and would fit nicely in your list. Music is a personal thing and tastes on this board run the gamut. I mean, I love hip-hop, techno, jazz, death metal, grindcore, alt-country-punk-bluegrass (Hank III, Those Poor Bastards, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, 16 Horsepower, Legendary Shack Shakers, etc.), and Frank Sinatra. I guess it all comes down (no pun intended) to the music, and how it makes me feel, than the "genre".
My tastes pretty much fit into; metal (most varieties), electronic music (mainly dubstep & dnb), reggae, hip-hop, classic rock.
Most stuff outside those genres doesn't do it for me. Obviously some exceptions.

HAIR METAL? YOU'RE THE BIGGEST CLOSET POISON FAN AROUND, AREN'T YOU?
When I wrote 'metal' I was thinking...wait, better write 'most varieties' because some entire subgenres suck balls, like hair metal :lol:
Saying that, I bought and liked Power Metal (confusing actually a hair metal abum...) by Pantera.
wow, i just had to catch up on 10+ pages of madness.....
I'm very interested in this tour. DOWN aren't a bad band by any means. My only dissapointment is that the Melvins will have a shorter set. But Oh Well, I will take what i can get. I'm curious if there will be any NC Dates, i can only think of a handfull of venues they could play at...(The Cat's Cradle is just getting too small for Melvins/Big Business tours as it is)....
and for what its worth i love COC. I think Deliverance is a fine album and there last with Stanton Moore on drums was pretty damn heavy and groovy.
Indeed.
the first person to post dates and venues earns a coupon for one hearty pat on the back from yours truly.
Wow. There are many Melvins super-fans in here. :lol: Down have some great songs: Bury Me In Smoke, Lysergik Funeral Procession, Learn From This Mistake, Nothing In Return, Eyes Of The South, just to name a few...Its better than a 2nd rate Melvins ripoff :lol:
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go DOWNtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, DOWNtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
DOWNtown, things'll be great when you're
DOWNtown, no finer place for sure,
DOWNtown, everything's waiting for you
(DOWNtown)
Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows DOWNtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close DOWNtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossanova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go
DOWNtown where all the lights are bright,
DOWNtown, waiting for you tonight,
DOWNtown, you're gonna be alright now
(DOWNtownDOWNtown)
DOWNtown
(DOWNtown)
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares and go
DOWNtown, things'll be great when you're
DOWNtown, don't wait a minute more,
DOWNtown, everything's waiting for you
DOWNtown (DOWNtown)DOWNtown (DOWNtown)
DOWNtown (DOWNtown) DOWNtown (DOWNtown)
(repeat and fade out)

I heard all this buzz about "London Zoo" so I gave it a chance. Glad I did. Haven't really researched the "dubstep" genre though do you have any recommendations other than previous records by the Bug?

its one singular pat. don't get greedy. I don't just dish the damn things out to every tom, dick and randall that shows up at the melvins message board.
ALL DICKS GET THE MOST PATTING THOUGH. BE HONEST. :?
you're really starting to reach now. its falling apart on you quickly. I'd suggest a regroup and inventory check.
Inventory? What do i need to inventory? There ain't shit rollin' around up there. 8)
WHOA!! WHAT WITH THE NO ALL CAPS?
You've all been busy. I didn't check in here for a couple hours and all of a sudden there's five new pages. For the record, I'm a total convert. I think these Down fans are great and hope they stick around here on the board for much more amusement and good times to come.

I'm just messing with the "your maw" stuff , just feelin it out up in here.
Looka, I'm like Down fan but first and for most I'm a Melvins fanatic. Ever since first seeing them in the summer of '86 at a all ages day show at a place in new orleans called jed's, just one block off the mississippi uptown. They played Kiss covers and had Kiss posters or tapestries on their tall amps which totally blew me away, dang 'ole kiss fan since '76, yeah thats right....
Anyway, I know people who know people who know people so I heard they was cuttin on down here and had to peep it out, now I'm glad I came here cause I just got reminded of the fact that the Melvins have been easin since Houdini.
Anyway, I'm lookin forward to hangin with Melvins fans at this show cause they the Melvins

The melvins have spoiled us by being the best band in the world and now outsiders tend to think we are snobby about other music.
I speak for myself but after the melvins most bands, including down, seemed tame and lame.
What's up Doc.?
the good doctor is alive!
Since this tour seems to be a go, I think it's time Melvins do another whole album live, and what a better time to bring back Collosus Of Destiny :lol:. Throw in a few from Prick or an encore too.
Welcome back, Doc!

I think that sums it up perfectly.
I have to admit when I first heard of this I was very skeptical. I listened to Down and didn't like it at first. After a bit though, I'm interested. I'm very much looking forward to seeing them live.
I love how this thread grows four pages everyday! It's like watching a baby grow into a grotesque monster!

I have a software program that converts ALL CAPS to Upper and lower.

p.s. personally I think down is a legitimately talented band, you can't
fault a band with a member of Crowbar in it.I believe the Melvins
have actually name-checked Crowbar in the past, and may have even
shared the bill with them at some point.

I really hope you're wrong about this. Because, damn it, I just fucking moved to Carrboro -- Cat's Cradle is about a fifteen minute walk away from me -- and I was looking forward to FINALLY seeing some decent bands play where I live.
Ah well ... at least there's The Jesus Lizard to look forward to in November!

Half of the problem with Phil is that he stops the show 18 times during the show to tell everyone how cool he is and then take a 10 min. break to smoke a joint and then talk some more 'bout how he fucked your girlfriend.... I would have loved when I was 14,but that shit is so played out and boring to me now....just a waste of time. I just don't get it.

I agree with that. I saw SJR in Milwaukee and I think he rambled incoherently more than he actually played any songs. The band looked incredibly pissed. Hopefully he doesn't do any of that shit at these shows.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT PHIL HAS TO DO WITH THIS DISCUSSION. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT CROWBAR AND SINGING STYLES. :?
BUT SINCE YOUR BROUGHT IT UP, DESPITE HIS RANTS ON THE STAGE, PHIL USUALLY DOES A NICE JOB ON THE MIC. WHEN DOWN FIRST CAME OFF HIATUS, HIS VOCALS STRUGGLED AT TIMES AS IT WAS OBVIOUS HE WAS RUSTY FROM NOT PLAYING, AND I THINK HE WAS PRETTY FRESH OFF OF BACK SURGERY. BUT FOR MY MONEY, BASED OFF THE BOOTLEGS THAT ARE CIRCULATING, NOTHING TOPS PHIL'S VOCALS WITH DOWN BACK DURING THE '95 SHOWS. HE SOUNDED SO ENERGETIC AND FULL OF LIFE. BOOTLEGS ARE ALWAYS GOOD TO RATE VOCALS BECAUSE THERE'S NO MIXING AND NO TINKERING WITH THE SOUND, SO LOTS OF TIMES YOU CAN GET A TRUE READING ON HOW GOOD SOMEONE SOUNDED IN CONCERT. EVEN BEING AT THE CONCERT DOESN'T COMPARE TO HEARING A BOOTLEG OF A SHOW TO RATE VOCALS, IMO.

HE WILL, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE AS LENGTHY. IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, HE WAS BATTLING PLENTY OF DEMONS WHILE SJR WAS STILL TOGETHER, SO IT PROBABLY ADDED TO HIS STATE OF MIND AND STAGE DEMEANOR. THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES I SAW THEM, WHILE HE STILL TALKS A DECENT AMOUNT BETWEEN SONGS, IT'S NOT AS LENGTHY AS WHAT I ORIGINALLY REMEMBER.

It
was crazy talk, I couldn't make out but a few words here and there. The rest of the band had this look on there faces like; 'here we go
again'. 30 minutes of music would have been preferable.
This is starting to sound like a great comedy routine. I'm really starting to look forward to seeing Down now just to see all the fans wishing the band was playing more music, while Phil mumbles about who knows what. Good times.

Ever been like, nunchaku'd to the ballsac? That's what reading this thread is like. And probably how I'm gonna feel after I limp away from the weedeater/melvins sets. Down, well, I'll stick around. I'm open to new things. I'll definitely be moving to the rear of the venue.

HARPO'S IN DETROIT WAS ALWAYS A GOOD PLACE TO WATCH DOWN TO STAY OUT OF THE NONSENSE. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO ON THE FLOOR, YOU CAN STAY ON THE SECOND LEVEL NEAR THE RAILING AND HAVE A GOOD VIEW OF THE SHOW, AS WELL AS GET GOOD SOUND.
Why are we even still discussing this without
solid dates yet?
I saw Pantera 4 times in one year about
14 years ago...and I loved it. The first time
I saw them, they co-headlined with
Wrathchild America during the Cowboys From Hell Tour.
Fucking killed.
I bought the first DOWN disc when it came out and was hella
disappointed...
and NO, I haven't listened to them since except brief excerpts
of music I run into on the interwebs. I don't hate them...
but I don't like them. I would buy a ticket with their name
on it though, as long as The Melvins were opening.
This was a rant...still no dates.....

This is starting to sound like a great comedy routine. I'm really starting to look forward to seeing Down now just to see all the fans wishing the band was playing more music, while Phil mumbles about who knows what. Good times.
I THINK YOUR HOPES ARE TOO HIGH. ALL THE FANS AT THE SHOW WHO ARE REALLY WISHING DOWN WOULD PLAY MORE MUSIC ARE ALL THE FANS THAT ARE FROM HERE, WHO HAVE SAID THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE AFTER THE MELVINS. :lol:
So true Down fans are actually there to watch Phil rant? I might be a Down fan after all.

I nominate Neil Hamburger as downs new singer.

Now that would be kickass. He was the singer in Faxed Head, and that band rocks!
While we're on the subject of Pantera and since we've had lots of recent ranting about Toshi's production (oh by the way, Toshi is in the new MIX magazine), I always felt like that was a band with really good riffs and decent songs, but the production values were always straight up awful. The drums sound like they may as well be electronic, the guitar tones are always sterile scooped mid garbage, and the bass tone was never anything special. I feel like if they'd forced Dime to play a real guitar through a real amp with real distortion, and had someone record them that knew how to make drums sound live, their albums would have been MUCH better than they were. Oh well.

NO. MOST OF US ARE THERE FOR THE MUSIC. LISTENING TO PHIL RANT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO ACCEPT IF WE WANT TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, MUCH LIKE GUNS N ROSES FANS HAVE TO ACCEPT FROM AXL. OR HOW SLIPKNOT FANS HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE FUCKING BAND MEMBERS LOOK LIKE. OR HOW MELVINS FANS HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT BUZZ IS ALLERGIC TO BRUSHES AND COMBS.

I COULDN'T DISAGREE MORE, EXCEPT POSSIBLY FOR THE COWBOYS FROM HELL ALBUM.

You misunderstand me. I think Dime was a phenomenal guitar player and very talented. I simply can't abide scooped mid hyper compressed distortions like the Boss Metal Zone. Give me a dirty ol' Rat or Fuzz Face any day of the week. I want an electric guitar (especially in metal) to sound like it's gonna melt your face off, and you just can't get that without midrange. Most of the tone of an electric guitar is in the mids. Scoop those out and you just killed the sound of the instrument. And while I respect your right to like the sound of the drums on Pantera records, they sound like balls. Overly clean, compressed, and sterile. If Pantera had been recorded by someone like Albini who can really capture the sound of a band in their natural state and not overproduce them, I'd probably still listen to those records. As it is, I just listened to Pantera yesterday for the first time in almost a decade and instantly remembered why I stopped listening to them. I'm glad you like that sound though!

QuoteWrathchild America
I saw them open for Testament back in the day.
I read this thread as melvins to tour down under : / :( :(
If you watch a Phil Anselmo interview and bypass the fact that his eyes are permanently closed and he takes forever to complete a sentence in his slow deep nu orlinz drawl then I think you'll agree he is quite an intelligent charming man. Down fans are not knuckle dragging rednecks, Down are a good band comprised of members from great bands, Pantera were the best metal band ever no contest. Watch an interview with Buzz and tell me honestly do you think he's super intelligent or inspiring. He seems to contantly talk about how unfair the music biz is, how all the best bands are unpopular, his music is so suprememely arty that the majority dont get it blah blah fucking blah.
Don't get me wrong i love the Melvins and own everything by them but I like them best when they stick to doing what they do best be it good heavy music or interesting experimental Honky style. I just think you Melvinites are seriously taking this whole thing way too seriously. You're embarassing yourselves as close minded idiots whereas the Down fans are open to the idea of Melvins supporting.
Was there this much fuss when melvins played with Kiss?
So basically my point is Phil Anselmo is wonderful, Melvins are wonderful. Let us embrace the coming together of Melvins and Down and have a massive lovefest.
Amen.

Zeni Geva are kind of like the Melvins in the way that they're not really metal per se, they're just have tendencies to be incredibly heavy and not in the way that the Melvins are.

Not when we're talking 90's. Granted Sepultura had the early 90's covered with Arise and Choas....but no one did it like Pantera did in the mid 90's as far as

like 1991
they fucking suck......
puke
I hate that band now really not a band cause they get new bass players every five minutes..
they fucking come out on stage wearing capes for gods sake....
I think we should all head over to that board and start educating the retarded masses....
that music sucks...
it had its place back in the day but holy shit why did they stay so popular?
crap pure fucking crap
down is gonna blow these weirdos right off the stage....
and congrats to the melvins for finally getting to play in front of a big crowd...
buzzo needs to thank the band for the holy interactionBTW: melvins supporting? HA!
CAPES?!? They're mumus, asshole.
As for the whole Down feud, this thing is fucking ghey. Who ever the melvins decide to tour with is entirely up to them, I think it's a bit odd though that they're opening since Buzz has expressed that he was done with that shit. However, Buzz and Dale and the BB boys are doing the driving, not us. They've thought it through more than any of us have.
BTW, if this tour makes it up to Canada. All's I gots to say is, LONG LIVE DOWN!
i always thought down was the best band to spin out of pantera. never bought an album, but i had a friend who thought the one down album was better than any pantera album. he's dead, now.

Well, that may be for you, but I'd put any Sepultura before any Pantera. Roots is about as brutal as it gets. Sounds like an angry ol' tribe o' natives is gonna come and rip Phil Anselmo's head right off of its thick stump of a neck. Sepultura also got a bit more experimental than the calculated stylings of Pantera, which immediately gives 'em a bump in my book.
I give pantera a thumbs down on name factor alone.
pantera?
does that not sound like the gayest glam-metal band name ever?
(take it easy down-eys. I'm only picking on their name)
I won't even bring up song titles like "cowboys from hell" for example.

Hey douche bag. Buzz is cynical. Phil is a fuckin rascist, junkie. I think these Downboard fucko's are the elitist ones. Pantera wasn't that great.

That sound about right?
FatoassSF, for your ignunt comment I have no other choice but say this, "I wish YOUR MAW got washed away by that fucking hurricane they had in New Orleans"
Being a fan of The Melvins, Weedeater and Down I gotta say I thunk Pantera sucked, first as a gay hair metal band then they completely ripped off a local band here called Exhorder and they gave no props to Exhorder at all.
Yeah Phil talks like he just got a root canal and he rambles on and on in between songs with every other word being the F-Bomb, it can be comical in small doses but the music honest and roots down into the blues.
At first I thought this was turning into a "Biggie Smalls/TuPac" issue but I think Melvins fans are easin up a 'lil and Down fans bruised ego's are healing over.
I mean I'm goin to see this show and I have no prob packin a bowl with you Melvinites.
I wonder what the Weedeater fans are talkin bout over there ha ha.
I must correct myself. bigfil did not start the down thread.

This Melvins/Down tour announcement is just an elaborate plan from both bands to expose the most retarded fans in their fanbase, the "cream of the crap".
Congrabulations, several of you have already been identified. Expect men in sunglasses and shiny black shoes to arrive at your doors within the next 24 hours and reward you with a complimentary bullet to the back of the head.
in my case, at least, there was no need for such an elaborate scheme for me to admit I don't want to give Phil Anselmo my money...I would have volunteered that information without pause.
I'd rather pay double for a standard melvins show and let those guys get my hard earned dough...I don't want to give a penny to anyone who has said some of the shit anselmos has said over the years.
now, why there's some hardcore melvins fans getting bent about some others not being pumped about this is mindboggling...I think people like Buzz and Dale find it funnier when we lick their ass no matter what they do...and probably appreciate when there's some critical thinking going on.
my reason for not being excited about this is simple...and when I can give the melvins my money direct, as I have since 1993, I will do so. Sorry to upset the apple cart, but I didn't know that being a fan entailed blindly following everything someone does.
(this is sort of in response to Hanzy's biting post several pages back, but I guess if I got to hang backstage I'd lick ass too...god knows there will be more than pizza backstage if Down is headlining!)
I've had the Flu all week so I've been a bit out of it but I'm begining to realize exactly why this tour was so upsetting.
About a month or two ago some random guy came in here claiming that a big project with Tool was coming. This felt plausible because they are friends and have collaborated in the past. A few weeks later it turned out to be bogus.
Fast foward a few more weeks and we have another random guy telling us that the Melvins are touring with Down. This didn't seem plausible at all considering all the bad things Buzz has said about Phil. Buzz has also mentioned not wanting to open for bands anymore. Before the tour is even confirmed we start blasting Down. Sure enough, it turned out to be true and it's a shocking unpleasant surprise. I'm willing to bet that if we found out from Blabbermouth first instead of just hearing some rumor this would have been recieved better.
My stance still stays after listening to a few of their albums. Down is OK at best and I'm not really excited to see them but if I have a ticket I'll at least watch their set. Who knows, it might change my mind.
As for the fans, I have reason to believe that the fans at this show will be idiots but keep in mind I'm not generalizing all Down fans. I would be seeing the show in Atlanta which is known for rough crowds. I saw Ministry there last year and I was surrounded by skinheads who were just there to fight. Somehow I pictures these same guys showing up to Down/Melvins just looking to fight. I'll hold off judgement for now but that's what my gut is telling me. I love Ministry and I love the Melvins but I don't want them touring together based on Ministry's fans.
Ministry shows are like a prison riot.
I'm all for any tours that bring the melvins around. Has Buzz really sad anything about Phil? I've never heard that.

Yes, yes they are...
I could have sworn that I saw an interview where Buzz called Phil a feather brained idiot. I've seen so many interviews it would be really difficult to find. I think Kevin was in the band at the time.
I have to go ahead and chime in here. I love the Melvins. And I am a huge Down fan. Haven't got to see either band yet, and this tour, along with the rumors I'm hearing of Weedeater joining it, is a huge boner for me.
And don't let a couple of moronic leftover Pantera fans come in here making people dread Down fans. Most of them seem pretty cool. And the tour package does fit, I'd say the majority of true Down fans are sludge heads and would be fans of the Melvins as well. I would love to see these bands in one night.
Now if this doesn't hit Houston I will cry.

I give pantera a thumbs down on name factor alone.
pantera?
does that not sound like the gayest glam-metal band name ever?
(take it easy down-eys. I'm only picking on their name)
I won't even bring up song titles like "cowboys from hell" for example.
pantera is spanish for panther. not really that gay. lots of bands have animal names. however they did start off as a half-gay glam-metal band. i think they should be excused, though, because everything they did after cowboys from hell is pretty badase. Even cowboys from hell showed potential and is a pretty good debut album.
"pantera is spanish for panther. not really that gay."
It's Italian also.
E drove a yellow Pantera.
finocchio
[attachment deleted by admin]
Holy crap, I've seen that yellow Pantera. It's got a bullet hole near the steering wheel, I believe, when Elvis got mad and shot at it.
finocchio?!
Pantera is a terrible name alright and does anybody remember Rex Brown used to be known as Rex Rocker. Thats bordering on Tracii Guns territory. Anyone ever read Vinnie Pauls column in Revolver? A grown man with the vocabulary of a cretin. Seems to me that Phil Anselmo was the only member with a brain plus of all the Pantera offshoot bands Phil's are the only credible ones. Remember Damageplan and Hell Yeah? "Alcohaulin ass" for fucks sake! Makes me think that George Bush isn't the only village idiot in Texas.
I'd rather see Melvins with Down than have them attached to Tool in any way. It's like your children hanging around with kids who are a bad influence. Tool would bore the tits off anyone and they have the audacity to think they are cultured and progressive. Hopefully someday someone will see through the facade and realise Maynard is just a small man with a big ego and a reasonable voice with no stage presence and Danny carey is just a drummer who can play complex paradiddly shite til the cows come home. It reeks of pretension.
isn't pepper keenen in down? coc was cool.

You are correct, sir !
We saw holes in the slide of the swing set at Graceland, too.
"yeah,in Italy we use to call someone "finocchio" to say he's gay.it's also the Italian word for fennel,the plant"
Patton taught me that word. Il parla italiano.
Vafangu, Anselmo !
(vaffanculo)
from The Sopranos
http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/mobspeak/#f
"Fanook, or Finook: derived from "finocchio" or fennel, a derogatory term for homsexual or gay, i.e., people that wiseguys feel nervous around. A "mezzofinook" is half gay, sissy, bi."
finocchio? It's way easier to call someone a poof. :lol:
Just be glad you're not Blue Oyster Clit fans.
Every year you could see them on tour playing the same music they played in the 1970's and 1980's.
No new music, just the hits.
You can pay $30 for admission and maybe get the same t-shirt you bought last year with 2009 on it.
Melvins put out new music every year that is relevent and fresh. It also brings in new fans. NWB was one of the best releases of 2009.
A tour with Down and Weedeater may be what Buzz and Dale want to do at this point in time. It's their choice whatever the reason and it will be another way to expand their fan base.
The 25th Aniversary tour was fucking amazing. We as Melvins fans are spoiled to death.
i love the weedeater video on youtube where the singer just pukes in the middle of a song and just keeps singing... good stuff.
OK, well some of us(myself included) were a little harsh on Down and their fans :lol:. I've really thought about it, and I'm all for this tour. Why not? I was never a big Pantera guy back in the day, and just never bothered to check out SJR or Down. On paper Down looks like a solid band, better than Phil's previous ones, so I'll give it a fair chance. Sure Phil has had some questionable behavior in the past, but nobody's perfect. And I don't think it's fair to only label him a junkie, when Buzz was up to the same stuff in the early '90s too.
I think that this double bill is better than say a Melvins/Sonic Youth tour. How predictable would that be? A crowd of diehard metalheads is better than a show with a bunch of hipster geeks just standing there. If you can't handle it, stand in the back where it's safe. As far as the idiot factor of Down's fanbase, it sounds like they're more open minded than the majority of say the Tool crowd.
It's Doofuses not Doofus's, Doofus.
or doofi, like octopi :lol:
Quote from: Chief Ten Beers on June 21, 2009, 10:07:42 AM

The difference is that Tool has enough fans to fill an arena and anytime you can fill an arena the majority of people will be idiots.
did they leave? damn, that was quick. :(

come on now. that was uncalled for.
Ok your right.

we may never know
Hey remember when Down and Weedeater were supposed to tour together?
I'm going to say this will never happen. Unless as a surprise for their 25th anniversary they want to tour with the shittiest bands possible. Maybe theyre joining the Aerosmith tour as well.
It's already official.
oh, i guess i can eat my words then.

I'm sure they'll pop up there first, then on the Melvins myspace.

melvins are currently practicing. for this tour I assume.
let us all join hands and pray that the plan is to bend minds.
friends of mine went to hellfest in france last weekend.
there were two big stages, once the band on one stage was finished, the other one started right away. except down, they started while WASP were still playing. oh, apparently they sucked musically as well. phil joined eyehategod on guitar fort sisterfucker, as you can see it made mike very happy.

I saw melvins in seattle... Im going to be seeing dick dale and then the jesus lizard.. and then the melvins again!
does anybody know the lineup for this tour? melvins and bb? trevor again? whats happnin?
If they are playing Nokia in NYC, ticket prices will probably be around $45.00 or so. That may be too rich for my unemployed blood at the moment.
I do love to see rawking shows on 9/11 though... my own way to comemorate...

Edit*** Oops, didn't see these in the previous post. Looked right over em.
Just checked ticketmaster's website - $35.00 tix @ nokia (with, like a $9.00 ticketmaster service fee). I just about hit it on the button...
I can probably get them at the box office w/o the service fee though...
Also....Ticketswest has a 8-12-09 show at the Roseland in Portland.

Showbox is one of the best sounding venues in Seattle. Showbox SoDo/The Phoenix/The Premier is the bottom of the barrel. They have an awesome McCauley PA rig in there, and it's a complete waste, 'cause you couldn't design a room to have worse acoustics. It's all reflective surfaces and right angles which equates to bad echo and standing waves. Turns everything to mud. Even if you are right up front, the standing waves coming from behind you are still gonna make everything sound like mud. I've run monitors in there before and even from up on stage that place sounds bad.
DAMMIT Showbox Sodo!!! Curses. I will still be there :x
Ohhh, did I just see a Denver date appear???
Where is the link for the dates that are popping up?

One is taken from Downs message board, the others are from ticketmaster, livenation, and house of blues sites.
Good lord, you all are ripping around everywhere!! :o

I'm back bitches, miss me?
Been to Hellfest, it was awesome 8)
Oh & Down didn't start playing over the top of WASP. WASP over-ran by like 7 minutes (considerable amount when the sets are only 45 minutes long) so Down began playing an extended version of Eyes of the South...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RqbtzDDUkw&feature=related
The intro was barely audible to us, so those at the WASP stage wouldn't have been able to hear. I personally think it was a great move, got everyone at the Down stage who noticed they were playing, REALLY hyped because they knew what was coming.

In case of no Tennessee, I'm headin to Missouri.
Either way I'm gettin BBQ and Melvins, one cannot be mad about that.
down played here not too long ago, so an appearance could happen.
I saw them here in little rock last year. It was not a bad show. Pepper looked like he was into the music about as much as I'm into root canals and roofing during the summer.

And it's a Saturday! :D
So I wonder if I can get a quick answer from someone here who would know. Will the Melvins be playing at the Pearl Room show in IL Sept 26th? I spent well over 3 minutes searching this board and Down's board and ticketmaster's site and I didn't see anything.
And I just spent another 2 minutes searching Pollstar. This is fuckin killing me here.
I can't definitivly say yes but its a safe assumption.
melvins tour the US with down through august and september. the 26th is on the inside of that.
Ok thanks but I thought I saw some dates that listed Melvins but then not. I'm sure it's all early. I haven't gone through this thread but it looks like there's a little rift between Melvins fans and Down fans. I went to their forum and there were some colorful words exchanged.

Ok see? I just started going through the thread and I read this. I fucking agree 100%. Of course I'll be there with a bunch of my friends who are Anselmo fans.

Tix are 23 bucks for the MI show. I can't see it being more than 30 bucks after the service charges(for that show at least).
Pardon me if this has already been answered but does anyone know what lineup of Melvins it will be for this tour? The Coady/Jared lineup or the Trevor Dunn lineup. Just curious if its going to be the Dunn version doing Houdini.
This sounds like a pretty cool show. I like seeing something different and thats exactly what this will be. I like Down though so im pretty stoked either way.

think Coady&Jared will be there and they'll play stuff from their last two albums, maybe a mix of new and old material
it will be the 4 piece incantation.

I just bought my ticket. my anxiety level is through the roof.
after ticketmaster fucked up and froze up my computer 4 times it then decided to deny my credit card 3 times until it finally accepted it. which in turn set off my anti-virus softwate.
another freeze up. start over. which then leads to a $23 dollar ticket somehow turning into a $38.90 ticket. and I'd like to believe I'm finally free and clear. which I will only truly accept when I see the ticket arrive in my mailbox.
burn ticketmaster, burn.

I wondered that but was so unable to gain a solid line of transaction that I said fuck it.
and can I also bitch about the offered $7 insurance? isn't that a mild form of blackmail? they are "suggesting" that something might happen to my tickets if I don't shell out $7?
another reason I avoid ticketmaster size shows at all costs.
ONLY for MELVINS.

Nice combos, should be a stellar crowd. :shock:
I was just thinking that when they toured with the Lucky Stars..that was probably more of a mismatch than Down + melvins.
Does anyone remember the name of the band that opened for the melvins in the mid nineties; they were heavy on using samples? Not white zombie..

melvins + weedeater + danava isnt a bad deal at all, and you can go home early if you dont like down.
does anyone know evil army?
Evil Army's pretty cool, I could see people not liking them though. 3 piece really simple old school thrash inspired ruckus, i dig it. haven't heard Danava yet, i'll check em out since that's who i'm getting. i like Down a lot too so i'm stoked for this lineup.
Also, for some reason Charlotte and Myrtle Beach are not listed. They are 9/5 and 9/7. Maybe Weedeater won't be at those shows or something? :-k
Still no Texass. :|

These are tough economic times Glen. I'll see what I can do, ok? Let's see some TX dates first. :)
don't expect it. i've seen all of the dates for aug and sept and its all upper midwest, west and east coast. closest to me is knoxville and there's no date for new orleans, any in alabama, and texas. i feel somewhat relieved to say its just too much money to pay for watching an opening band.
Who are these Down douchebags anyway? They've gotta be on page 100 of results when you search youtube or google. Stoked to see Melvins touring, bummed they're touring w/ a bunch of tools (based simply on their pic on ticketmaster). Anybody got a link to their shit, so I can see if I need to schedule something else to do after the GD Melvins set?
Yo, Ricktus, I once passed up on a GWAR show in Richmond. It was only 2 hours away and it was only 4 bucks, but I didn't have the four bucks (20 years ago mind you), so I stayed home. Later that night, when folks rolled in from the show, I learned that, not only did they crucify Santa; they fucked Rudolph in the ass. And I missed it, because I couldn't spare four measly bucks. Now, set that big pussy of yours aside and make it to the show. (Just playing big fella.)
Obvious troll is obvious
(Irony intended)
I don't see any new dates listed on their myspace. This'll certainly be interesting.
If this is truly true, Indianapolis is the closest I can go to (Since Down is playing there, maybe they'll bring their new buddies with them?), which is roughly a two-hour drive for me. If it's true I'm going, car exploding like dick cheney's heart or not!

No, I would seriously like to see/hear these douches before I make plans to waste my time at their show. And, "Down" is like "and" or "the" when you're searching the net. So, what the fuck? You got a link?
In case anyone else wants to check these tools out:

Sounds pretty much like metal^2 redux.
I wasn't this shit as a troll was I?
Atleast give me that people?
Yes :D Rochester, Wed. 9/16 @ Main St. Armory.

No thanks, I'll pass.
I was gonna run out and get a ticket for this today, but I'll wait until it's officially confirmed at either Melvins myspace and the Ipecac site. I would be extremely pissed if I spent $30 on this ticket, and it turned out the Melvins had a night for some reason. For instance, they won't be playing w/ Down on 9/12 in Philly because that's the night of ATP at Monticello.
i was going to do that too, but nokia theater site lists melvins, so it seemed good.

Gwar fans are the worst. They're essentially Juggalos.
Have you ever encountered real Juggalos? The kind from around the Michigan and surrounding states? It's almost depressing to look at these people.
Also, GWAR is great, they're really fun to see live.

Yes. They are truly awful. I have also seen Gwar, but not in about 18 years.
Typical, as soon as I move out of Charlotte, the Melvins decide to play there.

So for all the people that seem so angry about Melvins touring with Down, I have one question....
What did you think about the shows they did with Rush????
Who cares who they play with, and Down isn't the worst band I can think of to see them with. I'm glad they aren't touring with Rockstar Supernova or some shit like that....

If you think Rush's music is good, but you don't like Geddy's voice. Give it time. Listen again in a few years.

Heavy metal juggalos. Speaking of which, GWAR's playing at The GATHERING OF THE JUGGALOS. I thought they hated those "fucken' clown bands". It's all kinds of fucking hilarious.
Anyways, if Melvins plays Indianapolis, I'll go if I can hitch a ride from someone.

I've seen Down the last coupla times here in Seattle.... lame ass shit. Uninspired, watered down, lackluster, etc. I agree with whoever said Pepper looked bored, no doubt about it.
Rather see Crowbar and COC tour and leave Phil in his barn shooting up his neck and toe veins in good ol' Nawlins. Melvins will be fuckin' outrageous!!

Nah, It's been ages since I've been into clubs in SJ.
Ever hear of:
Marsuggi's (sp)
Cactus Club
FX
*Tickets purchased* Woooooo
FU*KING Hooooooo!
I noticed the Melvins have two nights off between Rochester & Detroit, 9/17 & 9/18. It would be awesome if they did their own gig in Buffalo one of those two nights, like at Soundlab, Tralf, or Mohawk Place. I'm not holding my breath though. Bought my Roch ticket yesterday, $33 final price. I would think Buffalo's Town Ballroom wants in on this action too for the whole tour package, but I'm hoping the Melvins can get their own gig on the off night in one of the smaller Buffalo clubs. I'd have to go to that too.

Nice.....A straight up Melvins show and a Down/Melvins show within a few days.
I'm willing to bet it's BB opening and then Melvins. What else would it be? Unless Weedeater is running the same path up from LA to start the tour?

that's a great fucking idea!
I bought the Down CD "NOLA" and I have to admit I really like it.
It's like really heavy rock, almost metal, and it's all killer no filler, which I was surprised about. Plus Anselmo holds it down consistently, although the song structures are kinda predictable. But badass nonetheless.
