Dale is hitting `em drums way to hard!
Hope Boris are okay too. :lol:
It's truely unbelievable that the Melvins were present for two major natural disasters. What are the chances of being in New Zealand and then Japan during an earthquake?
I'm really starting to believe that the magnetic poles of the Earth are about to switch polarities.
Fucking MELVINS man!
I'm a big fan of Melvins from Japan.
I've wanted to watch the show at Shibuya O-East in Japan.
But it was canceled because of the earthquake............................................I hate it.
Mr.Buzz and Mr.Dale,and Big Business's guys,
PLEASE play the show there again as soon as possible!!!!!!!
Your guys don't hate the land of the rising sun,do you?
Not nearly as much as they hate the land of maple syrup!
A member is best in the safety. However, the fan of we Japanese wants you to give a concert again soon in Japan because I looked forward to a day today!

The Melvins cause death and destruction wherever they go. Can't wait till they come to Texas again.
So glad to hear they are OK. 2 in a row, Mexico City, get ready to rock!
How do we know they're OK ?.......did somebody talk to the band ? :shock:

:shock:
The melvins have been officially barred from entering California.
1. Dale Crover finds a copy of the Necromonicon in the gents at JFK, December 2009. Starts reciting shit while waiting with Shrinebuilder to come to Europe.
2. Icelandic volcano.
3. Shrinebuilder finally make it to UK, almost a year later. Crover still murmering incantations. Devastating snowfalls ensue. Dubwise Ministry Juan unable to leave Edinburgh.
4. Crover travels to New Zealand with Melvins. Shit happens.
5. Crover travels to Japan with Melvins. Ho hum.
6. The name 'Crover' traced back millenia to Transylvanian 'Evokrr', meaning evoker of evil.
7. March 19th, 2011. Mexico City. Second Coming predicted. Festival of Light? My arse.
8. The shit's really gonna hit the fan then.

I think mother nature is trying to abort us or something.
No, seriously, things really do seem to be gettin' worse and worse on this planet. I feel like I haven't done enough. Sometimes I really do wonder if the end is near...

The deadliest earthquake ever recorded occurred in 1556. An estimated magnitude 8.0 earthquake hit Shaanxi, China. It occurred about 50 miles outside of the capital of Shaanxi and left more than 830,000 dead. The damage extended as far away as Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi and about 270 miles northeast of the epicenter.
When you consider that the Earth's population is nearly 7 Billion today, much more than in 1556, it's actually surprising that a single natural disaster hasn't killed over a million people. Still, that number would be a very tiny fraction of the Earth's population.
Well, now that you bring POPULATION into the deal, we're talking about another big fucking problem about to hit the human race...

I think the earthquakes are due to Melvins and High on Fire together. Their rocking might me too heavy for these silly little islands to handle. Also, Dale never made it to Iceland so that's another thing entirely.

Mine came in the mail last week.....berry, berry nice.
How many of the shows did they get to play ?
Where are they in Japan? With all the talk about nuclear reactors damaged are they in danger of radiation exposure?
Buzz's afro will protect the whole band and anyone within a mile radius of him from any adverse radiation effects.
Okay that's good.

We are trying to figure out what we are doing with all previous sales. Only sales through our eBay store will be counted used from this point though.
I'm sure anyone wanting to donate to the earthquake relief fund will also be able to do so through their bank or post office. Banks in the UK usually set up these things painlessly and quickly enough. Drinking to swampviking tonight.

Rock Band Caught in Japan, New Zealand Earthquakes
5:48 PM 3/12/2011 by Annie Yuan
The Melvins experienced both natural disasters since kicking off their tour Feb. 20.
Los Angeles rock band The Melvins are 2-for-2 when it comes to natural disasters.
Not only were they in Tokyo when the disastrous 8.9 earthquake hit Japan Friday, they also experienced the 6.3 earthquake that shook up Christchurch, New Zealand less than a month ago.
"Another big earthquake in Tokyo! Melvins' members and crew are fine," the Melvins posted on Facebook early Friday morning.
According to frontman Buzz Osborne, the band was also at the airport in Christchurch when the first wave of the New Zealand quake hit.
"As soon as that one was over, we grabbed all of our bags and passports and ran for the door," he told Spinner.com in February. "I'm a serious quake coward. [This one] was plenty big, as were the aftershocks. I stayed outside for the next five hours."
A spokesperson for the band sent the LA Times a statement from Osborne on Saturday saying, "What are the odds of us being in TWO major earthquakes on TWO continents in about TWO weeks? In the billions?"
The Melvins had travelled to Japan to perform with San Francisco band High on Fire for the final leg of their tour, which began in New Zealand. The Japan earthquake struck shortly before their last show in Tokyo.
Although Osborne, an L.A. native, is familiar with living in earthquake-prone territory, he admitted he never gets used to the experience.
"I don't like earthquakes, or fires, or floods, or tornadoes, or hurricanes, or any natural disaster whatsoever," he told Spinner.
According to their Facebook page, they are back safe at home.

The county was named after Confederate General Wm. Scurry. William Henry Snyder was an early merchant/ buffalo hunter who operated a trading post.the county it's in is Scurry County.
edit: I was just reading a story about the Snyder quake and had this quote from a resident of Scurry county:
"The bible says that earthquakes will be in diverse places, so you never know where they are going to be," says Jones. :lol:

Thanks. Interesting stuff. By the way, I thought the bible referred to them as "divers places"; I was always really happy as a child knowing I lived at least 120 miles from the sea!
