Title: Melvins - October 1st - Toledo OH
Post by: TGH on October 02, 2006, 02:29:18 AM
Holy hell my ears are still ringing. I'm tired as shit, so I'm just going to give a quick breakdown, and hopefully someone else will post something better.

1. They moved the fucking show to a different venue! (Frankie's wasn't ready or something.)
2. I know someone taped the show, and will be throwing it up on Dime eventually.
3. Ghostigital is a pretty awesome band.
4. Double drums = holy shit.
5. I think they cut the set list short, as I saw Hooch and Revolve on it, but they didn't play 'em. :(
6. King Buzzo's stage banter was really long, and funny to boot. ("Who can swing a pool cue while listening to the Beatles?")
7. Bullhead is BullSHIT
8. Dale Crover is a very nice man. He came out after the show (while Buzzo and Jared bolted, but it's Toledo, so who can blame them) and talked to everyone. He signed my poster, which I later realized was already signed by him. Whoops.
9. Go to any Melvins/Big Business show that you can.

Fuck Toledo! & Fuck Frankies' in every hole twice!

6hr drive
boarder gaurd positive we are none other than Cheech&Chong . . . tick tock tick tock
Arrive at venue w/ little time to spare
What? Show moved!
Directions to new show posted by Frankie the retard are fucked. That bridge we're supposed to cross is closed
Nah it ain't closed gas station lady says. So we move all the road closed barricades & try it anyway even thou it is very obviously closed.
Construction workers wanna fight
They lose but we still can't cross
Meander blindly through Todedo in vain
Finally find venue at 10:45
Hear Melvins as we exit the car
Miss 30mins . . . & they cut it short compared w/ the last few nights
See 4 songs! Fuck!
Awsome!!! at least one was a requested Sacrifice as closer . . . a request! Whatya wanna hear Buzz asks? What a saint
Better than an impromptu Sacrifice? An impromptu Sacrifice Jared can't play . . . so Dale takes bass & Jared takes half of double drums!!! A killer version that stumbles but soon finds its legs & what nice legs they were! Buzz exits and they morph it into a on the spot cover of Dirt by the Stooges!
End!!!
Too bad we missed so much cause what we saw was smoking! To boot there is mabey 40 people there!!
Too bad for Melvins . . . but man what a view & lots of room to dance.
Fuck Toledo & Fuck Frankie in every hole a couple more times
Melvins & Tshirt guy felt sorry for my cold Canadian ass & said "wow that sucks, you should move to Toledo guy" & gave me a free tshirt & poster of my choice and signed it like the champs they are! Thanx & Thanx again!!
6hr drive home throwing hexxes on Frankies & Toledo but loving that Sacrifice . . .wow!! Oh well at least I missed Ghost Shitital!
Buffalo please don't break my heart

Yeah man, when I got directions from a guy outside of Frankie's, we went UNDER the bridge. You basically just stay on the road Frankie's is on. Nice pictures, too. All the ones I got didn't save for some reason.

What?

You had to have been there, or listen to the boot when it comes out. Someone requested something off Bullhead, so Buzz and the band just keep repeating that album is bullshit over and over.

Yeah some nice pictures but you shouda been standing with me right in front of Buzzo.  Had a great view of everybody but Dale who was buried behind the drum sets.  I still can't believe we spent like 10hrs driving and saw only 4 songs...geezus.  Lookin forward to Friday in Buffalo for sure.

I played in detroit area bands. We would play toledo very oftern. like frankies, the resevoir...and i have two quotes that sum up my feelings of toledo.


Driving down 1-75 in side Toledo. There is a billboard that reads "Windsor, where winners stay" (windsor casino)....I ask, "Is there a sign in Windsor that reads..."Toledo , where losers stay." ?

And my Toledo slogan.
"Toledo, the asshole of the Earth"

pass them on and maybe Toledo will have to close.

Heh, you were probably standing right next to me then, as I was slighty to the side of Buzz.

You guys were right beside me then.  I was pretty much directly in front of Buzzo.

using the mitten theory, if the mitten was jerking a cock, glen i think youd get most of the contact with that hog.
