Title: Melvins "thank you" sign video?
Post by: Pelican on July 25, 2008, 01:36:22 PM
Does anybody have footage of the Melvins "thank you" sign loaded on youtube or anywhere? I've seen videos with the sign with the Melvins side facing out on it, but have never seen one of the long pause and turning of the sign. That was one of my favorite Melvins moments, just wondering if it's been documented on video.

I remember that fondly too.  That HUGE pause, flip the sign, and break into YOA.  I have seen a video of it, from a show in Louisville, KY, but I'm not sure where you'd find it.

The little box that lights up and says MELVINS on one side and Thank You on the other. It's on Kevin's amp in that video.

Ahh yes, I remember that moment. Kevin prolonged it with like, akward suspense.

They had that when they played with Butcher, which strangely enough, resembles Tool musically.

Thieves suck.

Joey D, you don't happen to have that video online somewhere do you? I've seen the Anaconda/Queen clip, that's a good one.

Maybe it's sitting on a mantel just below a stolen Munch painting, in a mansion high up in the Alps, where an evil old man with a monocle sits strumming a stolen Sonic Youth guitar, only taking breaks to have a snort of Cobain's ashes off of Ian Curtis' gravestone while plotting his next evil deed.

That's where I'd like to think it is.

On a sort of related note...Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick had this guitar stolen a few years back...he got it back, while it was away the guitar was being used as a coffee table.

Sorry, had to adjust that.

But I can't front; his hair makes up for it. EPIC.
