What is the real reason I want to know.
We want to say because a larger portion of girls do not know music and think its fashion and looking like a magazine cover?
Come on lets stir the pot, I know a small portion of the board is female and I am not knocking those.
I think its Middle america in general, it pisses me off to know end that they think shit like death cab and the beattles is the best thing they ever heard.
To top it all off the ones I do know are like yeah........i like devo and melvins, and black flag, and kiss, and king crimson, and uriah heap, and then they are like and my chem romance, and hot hot heat ;.ANd Im lIKE NO U DONT FUCKING GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

Funny you mention them, I'm gonna check 'em out tonight (together with Mogwai, 65daysofstatic, Black Dice, Mazarin and many many more.)
its simple really, girls tend to like guys who look hot. thats why we all love the darkness! (erm)

the closest i've come to meeting a female Melvins fan was "They are okay." that has happened a few times. i do know one female Melvins fan, but she seems to be more into the IDEA of liking them rather than actually liking them. so i'm not counting that.
come on, when a band has more than 5 female fans, at least one of them is a psycho slut! i'm gonna see tool this summer, and placebo is warming up for them.. just think of how many psycho sluts they have! i don't know if the girls or guys will be worst though... but i wanna be able to see tool, not just stand a kilometer from the stage, next to the toilets. so i might have to fight my way through all those scary people!
why? cause i'm a psycho slut.
ok, i'm not. i hope? 8-[
and i sure as hell don't listen to none of them emo bands with mile long names :)
as for melvins, i've seen a couple of girls at their shows, but there arent many, and i don't know if they really like them or not.. maybe their boyfriends like them, maybe they know the warmup acts, maybe they just usually go to concerts at that club..

yah like ourselves rambling on a messageboard lol, i know this seems so hypocritcal but most of you understand and have some of the same frustration for things. Perhaps channeling my energy for more postive exploits instead of bashing the generic would serve a greater purpose but sometimes it makes you feel better for a few seconds being a trolop.

does someone not like maarten?
i dont know about you folks... well actually i do. i've known plenty of women who dig melvins and have tagged a few of them as well. the reason you dont see them is that you have to turn off your computer and go outside. :D
Psshh. I'm outside plenty and it's extremely difficult to find male Melvins fans.
i have met about 4 outside that are melvins fans.
the thing though is that i hardly get to hang out with them.
one of my friends digs about every cool/good band i can imagine, and has a killer personality.
she is probably the coolest chick i will ever know.
plays synthesizer too.
:)
maybe its just nashville and its rich diverse melvins history. oh well YOU DOODS ARE FUCKERED! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
hey pung pung, if you go to a melvins concert you'll find tons. well, not tons of course, but maybe 5-10 if you're lucky :)
if you go to a bigband show, most of them will probably be patton fans :)
yes, patton fans are hot! 8) but there were quite a few reeeeaaallly hot chicas at the last melvins show here and they were definitely there for melvins. a lot of them even dug the trio convulsant.

talking about tdtc, their guitarist is hot.
yeah, there were a lot of gals at the fantomas concert, just most of them had their b/f's with them...
I've heard this complaint before. I got into the Melvins in highschool and they have been my favorite since-it's been about 15 years now. I'm not sure it's so much a female vs. male thing to like the Melvins. I know plenty of guys that listen to utter crap. I think it's your ability to have exposure to different kinds of music that can dictate what you listen to. Most people only know what the radio feeds them and have no idea that there is something else to listen to. I think your peer groups can shape what you listen to. Luckily for me I had music collector nerd friends who exposed me to so many different bands that I was free to explore what I really liked and disliked without feeling like I had to fit in. But you know, there is a lot of pressure for females to be sex symbols. I watch you guys talk a lot here about this chick is hot and that chick is hot. I think most females that give in to that pressure are out shaking their butts to hip hop. So, I say if you want more chicks to be into cool music..befriend them and expose them to all sorts of music. Not all of them will get it but a few of us do.

Hot chicks don't dig music geeks. Music geeks go to Melvins shows. Music geeks don't have hot girlfriends to go to Melvins shows with them.

This is shear poetry to my ears. Imagine that Ear candy. I have a few female students in the works and it is my duty to show them more of what is out there.
I think what we need is celebrity grudge match's like fall out boy against buzz and he can throw a cheese burger at the boy and cut off all his tatoo'es with some guitar strings whille playing nightgoat. A change in media is what we need.

I'm a hot chick. I dig music geeks...in fact I married one.
I dunno, I have seen some really hot girls around Melvins shows. No saying whether they were fans or if their boyfriends just dragged them there but I have seen them. I'll give you that the dude to girl ratio is skewed. Then again, who the fuck cares? The ratio of people who listen to great music to the typical fuckwad that listens to whatever is on the radio is skewed too.
BTW...love your posters Richie
Well, surely this can't be as uncommon as finding a 14-year-old Melvins fan....
(shifty eyes)
Oh wait, I forgot. This serves zilch to this topic. Acck...
Well, you can count my mom as a female Melvins fan, I guess.
I've shown girls the melvins more than once, most having bad results.
one friend, though, really digged them, and is really into the fantomas now as well.
the real question though is, would they go to a melvins show?
amber, i guess i'm the wolf they were talking about that's on this board.
you're anyone on this board's wet dream, though.
just had to get that out.
you're husband is a lucky, lucky man.
Quote from: CaptainPungent on April 17, 2006, 10:27:53 AM

Yep, that's what it's all about. I remember they left me confused at the time, but I wasn't sure how to deal with it. Black Dice probably had the same effect on me.
Without wanting to come over as a snob, I'm a practiced listener and not many bands overwhelm me with their live sound, but fortunately some of them out there still do. The Melvins are one of them.
as someone else already said, I think there's a lack of people I know that like the Melvins, whether they're male or female...
whether chicks are at melvins shows with their boyfriends shouldn't mean anything...I used to go to see the melvins with my ex all the time and we were both fans...now I'm the one dragging my boyfriend to see them
P.S. I like music geeks too
i think the misconceptions are widespread.
metal has always been a boys club. girls have always been "groupies"
its the same thing with hardcore.
i dont listen to the melvins with anyone except the people i go to shows with, my boyfriend, my mother and the couple of guys whom were always fans [although i grew as somewhat of a separate fan and am close with only one of those people].
i was the one who introduced the melvins to my bf because i dont like to SHARE the melvins with people i find UNWORTHY or wont let me listen to it the way i want or will inturrupt a song. i dated a couple of people who tried to get into them and after the dates were no more they said: "and by the way the MELVINS SUCK" which i always found HILARIOUS and justifying.
i know i couldnt feel the way my boyfriend does about nyhc bands and i dont really try that hard even though he's done stuff like scour ameoba [california record shop] while i was asleep and buy me their cds i cant live without when our stuff was stolen. [first cds back: gluey re-issue and nightgoat cd single].
girls and boys. boys and girls. really you could say this about a lot of bands. i dont know any girl fans who live in ny.... or in general. i like jucifer a lot. in fact ideally i would live like g amber valentine and her spouse being 1993 for the rest of my life in a winnebago. luckily though, i am not from athens, GA. unluckily i do not have a heavy duo to tour the country :(
well im sure thats was kind of ranty but i kind of have ranked my musical taste as of late and i listen to a lot of death metal. i never met a girl that liked cannibal corpse either.
I also find it hard to find ANYONE besides my friends who like the Melvins, so finding a girl who likes them isn't really an option unless I either wait forever or go hitting on all the girls at the next Melvins show I go to. As long as they think they are at least okay and understand my feelings about the band (best band on the planet), that's all I need. The best option I suppose is finding someone with an open mind who can be converted.
I've been to countless Melvins shows in my life, and I've never been hit on at any of them. :(
I met one redheaded girl in nyc at webster hall, she came up to me and spoke to me about the vinyl I bought, that is the closest female contact I ever had at a Melvins show.

Traditionally it has been a guy-thing having a devotional interest in the arenas of music, sports etc, but it seems like that part is about to change. In the sixties the scenery was devoted male music-freaks, listening to Beatles, Stones etc on the gramophone, while the girls where screaming their heads of when Ringo, Paul, John and George entered the stage with their ugly boil-haircuts, and entereing psychosis when Presley shaked his hips. This image has followed up all the way to the ninethies, where you could see women going bananas because of the looks of the sissy-boys.
Nowadays it seems more and more like we have reached another level, and that I think, is due to the fact that women around the world has become more and more independent, in all aspects towards the man. Another factor is that the raising of children isn`t so stereotypical as it once was. (maybe Mullet-god will get a son with pink hair! :()
I think that we in the future will stop looking at each other gender-wise, race-wise or whatever, and more look at the individual for what it is, regardless of the artificial.
What has easter done to you, Mr Mullet? Please Conda, come and knock me senseless again!!

That's how I have been feeling about sharing their music only recently, I hardly mention the Melvins any longer. Last Saturday I was close to buying CoD and give it to Black Dice though.
The only NYHC band I care about is Gorilla Biscuits, I play Start Today like once a week.
if you're gay and you like the melvins, this topic is pointless.

I normally find him giving some young lassie the business. last time it was the bartender girl. come on up to detroit, I'll introduce you.
