God damn...sounded amazing. Greatest band in the history of music, end of story. Same set list I do believe but w/ The Bit in place of Night Goat.
And for being an old man, something kind of cool about seeing the Melvins just kill it and being home by 10:15.
Oh...and in regards to Down...I have no interest, never had any interest and no opinion on their fans at all. Got in and out of this show as fast as possible.
Having said that, if Down playes no music but instead do nothing but this for 45 minutes, count me in next time they play. I love this...

I stuck around for a good portion of Down's set, thinking they might surpass my expectations and pleasantly surprise me. Unfortunately, they were totally boring and we left before we had to suffer through an encore. All of the Down fans I talked to were nice guys. There was some fights and drunken idiocy but nothing too obnoxious. The Melvins, on the other hand were ridiculously tight and heavy. I swear they get better every time I see them. Weedeater was also great.
A clip of this has just shown up on Youtube.

I forgot to mention that too...in both Eugene and Portland, he was very animated during POTRE and Bloated Pope.
Buzz should bust out the Les Paul for a song or two on this tour.

Buzz used to wear chucks years ago before the boots.

The new guitar is awesome. I bought one just likei t.
and when can we expect it will be put to use like as in recorded sounds?
hhmmmm?
oh and as far as the chucks... buzz also used to wear jammies onstage prior to the mumu. but that don't mean I think any less of him. in fact, the wife just bought me a shiney new brown pair of chucks for my birthday last week. so we cool.
goddam that POTRE riff sounds sweet.
It does indeed, so does that Billy Fish intro. Two very different songs.
They better bring the Belvins down under soon. I don't wanna miss this incarnation.
I Love POTRE. Killer.
I love autumn, even in Los Angeles. You should share these over at skyscraperpage.
