Hi, I'm a new poster to the boards, but I've been lurking around the past month or two.
Tonight was my first Melvins show and it was awesome (except for that clown who threw ice at Buzz). I'm seeing them again the 23rd in Dallas.
I saw a lot of people with cameras. Does anyone here have pictures?
Very cool, what did you think of the show? Was there a lot of people? What was the best song? Did they have anything for sale?
I was one of those folks taking pics. Here's a taste:

Those pictures rule.
That one of Buzz that looks like his rib cage is showing is very Charels Peterson like.
Applauds
Eye Crys.

Show was great. There were plenty of people, but where I was at, the crowd was kind of tame until Honey Bucket. They opened up with Nude With Boots, then played Dog Island, then I kind of lost track after that. Dog Island was awesome. At one point I thought they were going to play the Smiling Cobra (even though they haven't been playing it this tour), but they went into something else.
They had a lot of posters. I got the gig poster from tonight:

I'll be at the Dallas show tomorrow, most likely taking pictures/video this time.
capt's outfit was awesome
last time i saw big bus here they were in bee costumes
around midnight buzzo had just started a song about 30 secs into it and completely stopped, and the band left the stage. performance time fulfilled I guess.
also, sad to see they didn't have their orange amplifiers anymore

Really nice, album-worthy shot there!

Was there any of the devil's head shirts left? [-o<

I used a 10 megapixel rebel....no flash, no special lens. All manual. I'd like to post the rest to the archive....sent a message to the webmaster.
Thanks for the feedback guys! You're making me proud.

It might've been an accident. Everyone was spilling their beer, but someone had ice in their cup and I saw it fly up front and land at Buzz's feet. He looked down at it and looked into the crowd. I thought he was going to say something (and I kind of got excited), but he didn't.
Earlier in the show, some girl in white crowdsurfed right over me and ended up sitting right on the barrocade. Jared and Buzz were both staring right at her and she had to get her boyfriend or whoever to pull her off the barrocade back into the crowd.
Hello. A few days late, but here is my review. I left home the day of the concert at 6 am and 12 hours and 5 vehicles later I arrived at Houston, Texas. On my way I had the chance to stop at Waterloo records in Austin and I picked up the new Beck cd. Great store.
My brother picked me up at the bus station and after a quick stop at his apartment we departed for my second Melvins gig and his first. A short line of people had already been assembled and not before long doors were opened around 8 . Apparently many people got their tickets through some Camel promotion and even inside they were giving away cigarettes. So right away we headed to the merch table only to be a little disappointed . I was expecting the devil shirt or the nude with boots cd or some of the older Big Business cd
Cheers for your review, looking forward to the pictures! :)
finally back home, but the show was great. the wife even came along and was stoked to see it. she is not a melvins fan by any means, but had a great time and was even talking about it the next morning in a good way. MUSICAL VICTORY! tripping the lion was best of the night and boris. dies iraea was heavy along with my generation. i really do not like eyes flies, but it was way wicked too. the girl crowd surfing was funny, she did not want to be there you could tell.
i hope it was bad lighting, or buzz had some white make-up on(which I highly doubt), but that boy need some sun.
i recorded the audio for all three bands, but have not listened to it yet. will post it over at dime in the next week or 2.
How can you not like Eye Flys? How? New fan? :shock:

It's all noisy and shit..and it's got no beat..and you can't dance to it..and you can't make out the lyrics! :P
I'm always kind of suprised when new fans are put off by songs like Eye Flys. First time I heard it I was taken aback. I'd never heard anything so...heavy!

The Anti-Vermin Seed is this song, but better in every way. It's not like Flys Eyes is bad, but I'd say it's among the worst of their drawn-out, atmospheric things. But I'm relatively young, so it obviously wont have the same effect on my cynical, post-Earth ears as it would to the old timers who heard it way back when.
Also, Eye Eyes has a beat. It goes dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun-dun-dunn-dun-dUnb-dun-Dunn-DAN-dun...
damn fithy... you got me wanting to scream:
"I LAY LIKE YOU!!!!!!"
:D
i've been seeing the melvins since 90 or 91, so no i'm not a new fan. I've hated and liked them...tastes change i guess. just like eye flies, i used to not care for it, but now them playing it live me likey much better then before!

Eye Flys is a defining moment in the Dale catalogue. During the opening part stare down the drums with your ears. He builds the tension by pounding out single beats that put the 'sound' in 'resound', and then releases it with a calculated spazz (2:49), then builds it again. The guy is a monster. The song is a monster. They're monsters.
word up. was there ever a more relevant and key elemental factor than dale's drums in a band?
me thinks no. to me this is a part of the MELVINS foundation. the fact that each piece was just as crucial to the next in the creation of a MELVINS track. something you rarely see in a band. something that made them exceptional.
especially refering to those first 3 or 4 foundation albums. without dale melvins would have likely not become the monsters they became. to me dale was just as crucial as buzz was.
I totally agree with everything y'all say...i just don't (didn't) care for the song, though I like the new one better now. Hell I almost fell over while they were playing it.
i am not a giant melvens fan, but a good and true fan none the less. I have liked them a long time and respect what they do and how they do it. They make some of the greatest albums. They would be in the top 10 of my favorate bands. I dig Altamont much more. Shit Dale is one of the nicest and down to earth people I met and hung out with at a show. Other than Rey Washem, Dale is one of the best living drummers.
Glen, like you, I am sick of civilized worm and the trioligy for that matter. I would rather hear them play skin horse or the last have of stag or the amazons. And don't get me started on night goat. that has not been a favorate of mine either and glad they are not playing it now. (flame away if you must).
Even my favorate band I have a whole album I hate but maybe 1 or 2 songs.

I respect your testicular fortitude. even if your opinions are totally whacked. :D

I'd say it's one of their best of all of their things. I would never want to dismiss your opinion as wrong, but I'm secretly thinking it in this case. :D

They should re-record the song with the new lineup. That would be pretty intense.
thanks for being gentle Glen! much respect to you.
and yes my thinking is rather whacked. but it's cool.
