See ya there
For a second there i thought this thread was titled Babylon Zoo. Thankfully my mistake.
Residency sets sold out already.
Sucks.
I thought they were limiting them one per person. Heard some people got three at a time. Oh well.

Friend got there at 6:30 to get a copy for the both of us. Said there were already fifteen people behind him. That's an hour and a half before doors opened. By the time I got there two hours later---CD sets and BSM were gone.
It was cute watching a few people crowdsurf...I felt like it was 1993. aww...
amazing show...not a word from Buzz the whole night...clock in and clock out.
One thing though, did Buzz's voice sound different tonight? Maybe nursing a cold?
Great show. Anybody who complains about this lineup is a fool. They need to stand in front of Dale and Coady for 30 seconds and it would become painfully obvious. The dual-drums are the real deal.
I thought the crowd was relatively mellow. There were a few moments of slight insanity, but I've definitely been to rougher shows.

I think live this line-up is fine.......it's when they get in the studio that there's a problem with some fans.
I'm glad I got to see Houdini done with both Trevor Dunn and the Jared/Coady lineup. The power of the foursome is amazing, but there's something to be said for a trio also...
I'm bummed that the NY people aren't posting more about this show, perhaps waiting for tonight?
Eggnog/Lysol was one of the most amazing sets I've seen them play...
The first set was the most brutal concert I've ever seen. I was in the balcony and just vibrated for the whole show. It was incredible. So heavy. So powerful. Buzz's guitar sounded unusually great I thought.
I've never seen a line like that to get in to a Melvins show, nor a line like that for the merch booth. It was insane.
Can't wait for tonight.
facemelting awesomeness. one of the loudest shows I've ever seen them play.
any recordings out there?

I must be a fool then because I hate the addition of Big Business. Having seen the Melvins as both a three and four piece, I prefer the former. Maybe it's the purist in me.

nyctaper listed both shows on their summer to-do list. they usually take around a week to release their recordings.

Oh it does, don't get me wrong. It's just that I thought it sounded extra great on Monday night. I'm not sure why, but it really stood out.
NYCTaper definitely recorded the shows, they were in center of the balcony with a whole mic system set up.
I'm more of a fan of the band as a 3 piece as well, but these last two shows were two of the best concerts I've ever seen. They were totally amazing. After 17 or 18 Melvins shows, they continue to blow me away.
Just got back upstate.. HOLY CRAP!!! Both nights were incredible.. Every set had a different appeal. 1st night set 1 was probably my favorite.. pure sludge.. slow.. Loud!! and HEAVY.
Houdini was abstract genius.. The second half was stunning :shock:
Second night..
Bullhead was soo great Opened with Levidity one of my favorites.
Stoner witch was fantastic At The Stake KILLED as we all know it can.. I really like the way they re-arranged all the tracks Opening every set with the slow stuff to build up the mood.. Really worked the crowd went Nuts when they kicked in.
Stage divers almost kicked over the Mic stands a few times toward the end of Stoner Witch.. Dale told them to 'Stay off the Fuckin stage'
The closing drum chaos was stunning it seemed to go on forever.. and that was just fine with me :D

What I think he said was "if you want to get on the stage use the stairs" I was laughing...
Was a strange sexual vibe to this show. There were these 3 chicks in front of me doing blow and then going apeshit. Don't think they heard any of these records before judging by how they were pumping their fists. Chicks running the pit. Balls out baby. The duel drumming and mammoth tone will get anyone frisky. I had a boner...
..Melvins delivered.

Boner Records
Anyone know who joined in the drum throwdown at the end of the Stoner Witch set? I wasn't at the show but a friend said there was a third drummer up there and he thought he heard Coady yell for "Danny", maybe...?

yeah. that was fuckin crazy. First Jared helps throw a guy off the stage! It happened like 3 times, and with the kits so close, the person(S) were hitting the mic stands and kit. Person got up there a 3rd time for a launch, then Jared pushes them off!!!
Then Dales says, STAY OFF THE STAGE!
And who was the third guest drummer guy who came on during the end of Tues night? That was KILLER. I think dale said it was Billy?
Dale was going NUTS... He walked behind coady, starting hitting on some stuff back there, then he goes back to the other guys side, and Dale starts hitting a crash with TWO drum sticks in EACH hand!!!!
I thought mondays close was awesome!
Tuesdays drum close was EASILY 20 minutes, Buzz and Jared were LONG gone!
3rd drummer was vinny from unsane...
My favorite part of the two nights was Dale doing the drill instructor vocals on Joan of Arc on Monday.
He stands up, starts pointing at everyone in the stage!!
"C'mon you knuckleheads, MOVE IT, MOVE IT"
Totally awesome!!
Yes, the "third drummer" was Vinnie Signorelli, Foetus/Swans/Unsane, who completed last night's drum circle. Can't decide which night I liked better, they were amazing both nights, but I still prefer them as a three piece and hope they, one day, lose the appendage. In attendance: Brian Posehn, Nick Zinner (Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs), Mick Collins (Gories/Dirtbombs), Chris Spencer (Unsane) and Paul Erickson (Hammerhead/VAZ).
So now I know who the third drummer was. He definitely seemed too good to be a roadie or something.
Both nights were great, I guess my energy level was a little higher the first night. I didn't sing along much the second night for whatever reason. Charmicarmicat was a hell of an opener. I was totally waiting for Exorcism the second night but some dude fell on my head and distracted me during the middle of it. I was kind of surprised anyone tried getting on the stage given the slight amount of room between the drums and the edge.
Anyone at these shows should know Dale and Coady are beasts on the drums - you get a whole different appreciation seeing them up close and personal (at least I do). The shows definitely revolve around them, I think. Or maybe that's just because I usually end up watching them 90% of the time.
Did anyone else hear about a June 18 show in NYC? Maybe that's the Trevor Dunn thing? Someone told me they were playing somewhere but I can't find any info online about anything then.
Quote from: streetwaves on June 08, 2011, 03:28:45 PM
Chris Spencer (Unsane)
Pete Shore (unsane) was also there.
Met Tara McPherson at the Cotton Candy Machine. It goes without saying that she is one cool girl. Actually everyone there was pretty awesome.

someone lit a firecracker up backpack girls ass im pretty sure.
I saw Trevor Dunn outside, so I'm guessing he was also in attendance.

Some great images there. When he's dead i wanna see Buzzo's hair in a museum. We could all shuffle past paying our respects and marvel at an artefact of exquiste craftmanship.
BTW
I notice he's still using the see through EGC guitar there.

I believe the last few albums that happen to have BB as the riddim section are rather predictable.

I don't think you are giving those albums a fair shake.. I think they are all very good.

Good solid albums as albums go.......but.......predictable Melvins/BB efforts. Nothing really was surprising in NWB or TBSM after ASA.
I hate all of you people.
Punish them. I know you can.

I was starting to think I was the only one that felt this way. ASA definitely had straight up intensity to it, NWB was good but not "holy shit great" and TBSM to me feels like coasting along and dare I say...safe.
On my way home from seeing them last september, I actually said that I felt it was time to cut Jared and Cody loose at least for a while. It was the first time ever where I didn't feel like I had had my mind completely blown away by that Melvins magic.
Now after seeing the four of them take 4+hours of early tracks to levels we all thought unobtainable, my confidence in the future of my favorite band has been completely restored. Playing these recent shows has to have put them into a great headspace.
I predict that they will get seriously fuckin weird/intense with their next studio effort.

I was thinking/Hoping for the same thing on my way home from the city the other day.. I hope for some heavy weirdness on the next album.
Personally I doubt it. I see the next/last record being similar to NWB. Somewhat disposable based on Buzz's recent
interviews. You can tell that he is thoroughly jaded, so why would he exert any effort to capture grand ideas on their
last record for Ipecac when he knows it will be leaked in seconds after release.

That really is too bad. Personally I love TBSM and thought it was a step in the right direction towards more weirdness/intensity than the other two releases with BB. I never have fully understood why they don't just sign with AmRep and continue to release weird/experimental shit along the lines of Prick and Honky. I am very ignorant when it comes to the AmRep label so can someone help me out? Does Haze only release stuff on vinyl? It seems to me that once they are done recording for Ipecac that going back to AmRep would be a logical step for them. From what I can tell, Haze obviously is a huge fan of the band so it would make sense to me. But then again as anaconda mentioned, if the album is just going to get leaked on the internet, what is the point? This may be a stupid question, but is it possible for a band to record a cd and come up with some kind of "security lock" or some shit where the cd cannot be leaked?

Some of your questions can be answered simply by having a look at the AmRep site.
I really hope I'm wrong and this next/last record for Ipecac is a barn burner.
For the record I love ASA, and TBSM, NWB had its moments like Dog Island
and Smiling Cobra, etc.
so is it official that the next is going to be the last record?and what you mean for last?

Calm down everyone. There'll be lots more.
Of course there will! but Buzz said in the recent interview that if theyre lucky
they have one more record for Ipecac because of leaks and downloading but
thats probably it, but theyll continue doing their own limited releases and collector
type stuff because they can control it

You're right...it is.
Initial intuition is nearly always correct. Listen to your inner voice.

Do you have the link for this interview? Interested in reading.
Is he blaming Ipecac or something? It doesn't matter how you release your stuff, it's going to get leaked.

Awesome, thanks a lot.
I think that Buzz is implying that Ipecac won't last more than another couple years due to low record sales.
I understand that, but I believe he's also implying that when they do
another record it will be their last one for Ipecac
I just want to point out that noise rock is not experimental any more. I think after 30 years, the results are probably in by this point.

??? Since
everything leaks (Ipecac, AmRep, box sets, singles, etc.) why would he consider a particular label when capturing grand ideas? You could even argue that Ipecac gets them more exposure regardless of the state of the record industry. Are you saying that their post-Ipecac projects will earn them more money because they're made in-house, and that's why he would save his grand ideas for them? I'm just trying to figure out where you're coming from.
Yes, that's what I was getting at.
