Taken from an interview with Mike Patton on http://www.movieweb.com/news/87/25087.php
Are you guys planning anything else? Are you planning to do the Mondo Cane or Peeping Tom DVDs?
Mike Patton: No plans. With Mondo Cane, someone filmed the performances but I haven't seen them yet. I have to admit. I am not crazy about music DVDs. Just the thought of sitting and watching a full concert, you know? From front to start is hard enough in person for me. Let alone on a fucking DVD. To me, unless the footage looks really spectacular...Unless it's a one-time project that I want to document, I have no burning desire to do concert DVDs. That being said, every now and again someone does something really cool. And the next one we will be doing after Patton/Kaada live is The Fantomas Melvins Big Band. That is a similar case. It was a friend of Buzz's, from the Melvins, that happened to be at one of the London shows. And he said, "Hey, I am going to do this whether you want it or not. You don't have to pay me, blah, blah, blah." I was like, "Okay. No harm. No foul." And he sent footage. It is fucking stunning. He did a bunch of visual effects. It is more than just a concert. There is animation in it. It is really well done. We will be putting that out in the summer of 2008.
Great news SI!
Great news!
Sweet...Patton's annoying Fantomas vocals ruining Melvins songs. :lol:
Except for Pigs of the Roman Empire, that was kinda cool what he did on that song.
Still, great news of course! Only about half a year left!

How true. I'm a big Patton fan but he's become too infatuated with himself and silly vocal effects. I moved on from dial-up in 2001, I don't need to hear that fucking annoying dial tone anymore.
I'm still itching for a Melvins multi-DVD collection with music videos, tons of live video, commentary, and interviews, but I heavily doubt Buzz has any plans for such a thing, unless somebody else can do all the work and he can still get paid nicely.
plus a slight rutmanis revival.
dale crover and dave lombardo on the same stage. good lord almighty.
cool
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's really fuckin awesome.

It seems strange; wouldn't the normal procedure be to 'pay the band' for filming?

Who's getting married?
I Do.
I'm so looking forward to this coming out on DVD.
I seem to remember someone saying that they'd spotted people filming that show.... Oh yeah, it was me!!!! I spotted a few cameras floating around filming. But when I mentioned this on here someone reckoned I'd just spotted people filming on their digital cameras. I'd never posted on this board before that review so didn't want to get to stroppy with my replies, but I do know the difference between a digital camera and a camcorder.....
Anyways.... roll on the summer!!!!!
That wasn't the only good news, he said there's going to be a new Bohren und der Club of Gore release.

Hi!
Here's the DVD cover (I think) and some info about the DVD itself:

nice!thanks for posting alex.I really hope this won't be only the usual megalomaniac Mike Patton's exhibition but, as title says,"the Fantomas Melvins" live show.
Will the commentary with Buzz and Danny Devito be an audio commentary track (that plays overtop of the concert footage) or a separately filmed interview with the group of guys at a round table or something?

I imagine the commentary will play over the convert footage, otherwise it would just be a chat or interview.
Artwork looks good.
This doesn't bode well for the audio being better than Millenium Monsterwork though:
QuoteWhilst doing this Matt, using a really crappy desk recording of the performance, had to pull audio from the cameras and mix together the show, I saw what he was doing a few times and it looked like a massive headache yet he did a brilliant job.

hopefully this is an optional bonus feature. I'd like to NOT hear the commentary over the concert footage for the first 10 views or so.
and another thing... I wonder if kev rutmanis will see any coin from the sales of this DVD.
I wonder if Buzz will talk a little about the meanings of his songs on the dvd.
The cover artwork looks really great. I immediately liked it a lot. Thanks for posting.
About the commentary, I like this statement by Buzz: "Mostly, it has nothing to do with the DVD itself. We got to ask him any question you can possibly think of
Yes I'm really looking forward to it too! It would be better if the audio was from the soundboard recording but the sound will probably at least be better than their live stuff on youtube.

Sure he was:

Millenium Monsterworks was recorded in 2000. This is from 2006...
where can I hear what Mikey did on PotRE? Although I have some reservations: on the Millenium Monsterwork disc, I would have preferred to hear Buzz singing the Melvins tunes. And when I saw Fantomas live in Boston on 4/13/05 and they played 4/10/05 (the song released on the ipecac website with obviously Buzz singing) Mike took over on vocals. Please tell me where I can hear Patton's contribution to Buzz's epic riffage, thanks.

Live From London 2006 DVD...recording equipment used:
2nd hand cassette recorder and a Sony Betamax camera from 1983...
The editor did an audio mix, combining the sound from the camcorder and the sound from the mini-tape recorder. It took hours of painstaking work, but he got it sounding great!

Not that night. It is a shame, they did it in Austria and it was awesome! I had whiplash.
Incidentally, I met Matt who has mixed the audio for this, he talked about his concerns with the sound sources but said he thought it sounded better than Monsterworks, plus he knows what he is doing so I think there is every reason to expect this dvd to be 'the shit',

Well at least POTRE is on there! And Page28 as well!!! :D
I thought they played more Suspended Animation stuff on that tour, but I cannot wait for this to be released anyway since the Big Band never came down here.
...Well they were all down here on the Australian Geek Show tour, but no BigBand- though Patton stayed out for the first song of The Melvins set after the changeover.

Watching this now.
Got to say I'm disappointed in the video quality. The balcony shots look like a washed out 2nd gen VHS recording, and a lot of the other shots are very grainy (probably due to the low lighting in the venue).
The editing is irritating - lots of edits and "special effects" like distorting the picture and playing with focus - wow!
Plus it hasn't been authored properly so that if I'm playing it on a screen with an aspect ratio of 4:3 it displays with black bars at the top and bottom as well as on the side but when I set my TV to 16:9, it doesn't fill the entire screen, instead it distorts the picutre - very annoying.
That said, the audio is pretty good, despite there being a few glitches and I'm particularly enjoying watching Dale and Dave go at it on drums.
Overall though, it looks pretty amateurish.
:(
Fair enough. I'm not going to complain for $8 though.
I enjoyed it, got it yesterday watched it a bunch of times its a show i could of gone to but it was the same day as my second year final which if i hadn't of been at i would of failed that year and had to resit so i missed out but least i get to see it now.
It is a bit amateurish and like the guy has finally found the effects bit on imovie but ahh well i like it.

I did the sound (and one of the cameras) on the DVD, and yes, it took a stink load of time to get it sounding sweet. The desk recording was in mono, and totally illegible in places - I had to add the sound from 3 cameras, and spent 3 months mixing, chopping and editing, so I'm glad you like the way it sounds dude.

the dvd is pretty cool.
I'd like to have an audio rip if available...
Yes, it's pretty fucking awesome. Haven't sat through the whole thing yet, just skipping around. The sound isn't the best, right off I noticed Dunn's opening bass line on Night Goat is hardly in the mix. Buzz is wearing some cool pants. :P
I totally forgot about it, just ordered it a minute ago. Can't wait!
mine shipped from interpunk.com 3 days ago. Expecting it early next week. 8)
Got mine in the mail today! Can't wait to sit down and watch it!
Got mine today too. I like the way it was edited. Makes me think of a horror movie happening on stage with a great soundtrack. It would have been nice to add a steady camera option of the film though too. The commentary is pretty great to listen to as well. Devito's pretty funny.
I bought this in an actual shop. It's good.
I love the way they did "Sacrifice" on this. Never heard the Big Band do it before. I thought "Lowrider" was going to be another Flipper cover. Nope, it's the War version. Pretty cool how it pops up at the end of "Let It All Be".
Fucking awesome! The bass is a little bit on the quiet side but I wasn't expecting the sound to be this good. Some of the effects are more annoying than good but for the most part I like them. I'll be watching this one quite a bit.
Oh, be sure to check out the tracklist menu too. It's great!
It's pretty good, although I wish the director would step back a bit more often and let us see the show. Also, the DVD really needs less Mike Patton (who comes across as being the exact opposite of cool) and more King Buzzo.
It's awesome. The commentary is the best part. The show is sweet too. I like the part where Crover introduces Patton as a fucking cocksucker or something of the like...... :lol: This DVD is sweet in my book, glad I got a copy.

i can perfectly understand what you mean to say and although i haven't seen it yet,i agree with you :)
The chance to see these players live in the comfort of my living room is good, but Patton ruined this for me. I know Fantomas is Patton's band, but it's as if he IS the show. What does Patton do live? Plays samples, babbles into a microphone and points at people as if to say "I'm allowing you to play now, you're welcome". The last thing a Melvin's song needs is slick yelling ooooohhhhyyyaaawwwwwww in the middle of it. One thing I noticed is how physical Mr. Dale Crover was on his kit compared to Lombardo. Lombardo's a great drummer, and sounded good, but seemed out of his element playing along with Dale's style. Dale was just INTO it. It always amazes me how varied Buzz's playing sounds while his hands are using fairly simple shapes on the fret board. A good lesson in K.I.S.S. And to reiterate, fuck Patton.
OK, I may have sounded a bit over excited in my last post. I hear what your saying about Patton. What I do like is seeing Buzz, Dale and DSS playing, and the commentary with Buzz's goofy laugh. Patton does exude an attitude that is very foreign to anything I have ever seen connected to the Melvins. I guess I have to trust Buzz on this one, he must know what the hell he's doing. But yeah, it is hard to watch at times, some of my favorite Melvins tunes altered with unintelligible screaming.
QuoteI guess I have to trust Buzz on this one, he must know what the hell he's doing.
I'm sure Buzz and The General are good friends and that Buzz has a lot of fun playing with Fantomas.

interesting discussion,remember when i saw them i noticed that too.Lombardo,who obviously is a great drummer, did nothing or nothing of special on the Melvins songs,Dale was the opposite on the Fantomas songs.
Bought this today. Was pretty underwhelmed. Patton completely ruins this performance. If he wasn't there - it would have been splendid! Sir David Scott Stone was the highlight of the entire performance. He is 1,000,000,000 times more sick that Patton. Seriously, if it was a performance without Patton - I would have loved this. He is just too damn cheesy.
The track listing graphics are pretty cool.... and the credits are a hoot. :)
Also in the commentary Buzz talks about Kurt Cobain producing Houdini... something that I don't think I have seen him talk about before.
Dale tells Danny Devito about working at the Aberdeen Taco Bell with Novoselic. They were probably getting baked, watching Taxi, and eating stolen tacos and encheritos after work in those days. :o

I loved that part :)
I worked at that same Taco Bell, and after reading "Come As You Are", I liked working there a little more.
As far as Pattor ruining the performance.....I disagree. I see his role as vital as the rest of the bands. He uses his voice as an instrument. He uses pedals to tweak his voice like a guitar player would use a pedal to tweak his guitar sound. During the Fantomas songs, he seemed like a present day Lawerence Welk, conducting the band, helping them keep the time changes and so on. Letting them know when he was going to scream, and so on. I seem to be in the minority on it, but I dug the hell out of this dvd.
I thought he did a fine job too.
i love this dvd. My only complaint is that it seemed like buzz took a "backseat", and most of the shots of him were far away. It would have been nice if the footage had some more emphasis on him, but it's all good.
There is so much stuff to discuss from the interview!
Norecess when will you have your copy?
Lunica, you were at the show, did you get filmed?
I don't mind Patton's weird noises, just throw a rug over him so that I don't have to look at him.
DEMMMMAAAND A SACCCRRRRIIIFFFIIIICEEE

Patton did a good job. I've had the expeience to see Fantomas live and you can really get into their shows.

Norecess when will you have your copy?
It was already shipped August 25th, don't have it yet.
I have seen Fantomas once. Zoot Suite, PDX 99. This DVD reminded me of that. Mellow people, mellow fans, mellow band, mellow.......but that goddamn commentrary......still laughing my balls off......lol.......best comedy of 08.
Can we talk about the Brando thing yet? Because holy god, the Brando thing.
It was funny, and different, but I don't think I'll watch this dvd another time with that commentary.

I don't mind Patton's weird noises, just throw a rug over him so that I don't have to look at him.
:lol:
after watching the DVD i have to say it's not so bad...when you watch or listen to something where Mike Patton is involved you know from the beginning he will be the main actor,at least i was prepared and i liked the whole thing.especially Dale's walk when the band return on stage after the break :lol:
DANNY DEVITO
Just wanted to bump this thread again.
Thanks to all those who made it because it turned out quite nice. As you can see by the first post I did in this thread I wasn't expecting much but I just finished watching it. Loved the effects, really helped out instead of getting annoying like many other live shows and the sound was pretty decent. Great stuff!
i enjoy Patton's noises and screams, he reminds me of a mad scientist up there. guess it's not for everybody.

agreed especially about this part
I thought Patton was better than he was on the MillenMonWork.
Low Rider was classic, Sacrifice was listenable. (I hate the Lysol version).
Pigs was awesome.
It was a good DVD. Not amazing, but not bad either.
just got done watching this thing. pretty damn good. i wish Patton would shut the fuck up on the Melvins shit though. the only Melvins songs i really liked on this DVD was Skinhorse, Sacrifice and Pigs of the Roman Empire. it's a shame too because the band just fucking kills and he ruins it. oh well, he's not for everybody. all in all good DVD.
We need a real Melvins DVD, one that spans the years. "Salad" was pretty lame. This doesn't count.
First you call the Lysol version of Sacrifice unlistenable and now you're calling Salad 'lame'??? SMITE!!!
The quality of salad sucks, not the material.
To each his own taste. There are crappy Melvins bootleg videos from '89 that I've enjoyed intensily, much better than Slayer's Reign In Blood dvd, which is, I guess, excellent quality.
But of course, Slayer ain't Melvins. I guess if you're looking for a quality Melvins live dvd, start downloading a few from DaD or make a trade with Idlehanz or Beto, because I don't see Buzz & Dale and the boys releasing a Melvins dvd any time soon.
Quotebecause I don't see Buzz & Dale and the boys releasing a Melvins dvd any time soon
To me this illustrates a point. For all the accusations of the Melvins just trying to make a dollar from the fans, they don't seem to put out the obvious money makers like DVD's or "best of's".
Of course, I bet Buzz would say "Of course we're trying to make a dollar from the fans".
But yeah, that Slayer DVD was kind of corny. Maybe I should just download th videos from youtube and throw together a DVD
First you complain about the quality of Salad, then you say you want to make a live DVD from Youtube videos? Your logic puzzles me.
They had someone videotaping them for each show I saw during the asa tour..
Perhaps Buzz yet has something up his mumu sleeve.
And by youtube videos, I meant, like HOB, the live shows from Europe. The awesome quality vids.

I can imagie the melvins reading this and thinking "they least expect it time to release a dvd"
That'd be nice.
I don't see Buzz & Dale playing GLUEY PORCH TREATMENTS + EGGNOG live in Amsterdam, 5 shows in a row, anytime soon.

With Trevor Dunn on bass followed by a set with big business in a place with a free bar, just cant see that happening.
There's a local music TV channel here in Australia called Channel V. I mean this is a channel that has The Grates speacials and Pussycat Dolls specials, hell right now they're probably playing Chris Brown or someone. Anyway, they recorded Fantomas live playing Director's Cut with a professional soundboard recording and widescreen HD cameras. They played it too.
My point is strange things can happen, and I really think Melvins will one day release a HQ live set. I hope it covers all the bassists though, not just one set. A supermassive best of DVD. That'd be nice...8)
I think there will be something within the next year.

Did you happen to record it?
You can't record it unless you have the right equipment (It's pay TV). Even if I had the equipment the channel only played it once and I missed the beginning anyway. It was completely out of left field to play something like Fantomas on this channel. Never seen anything like it....except many years ago they had Tomahawk on.

The set was great though...they were all wearing cricket gear which was funny. Expect Buzz.
i may be drunk, but im still floored. i have three different favorite live bands... SC3, melvins, and fantomas. two outta three aint bad.
strange to think that this DVD came out over a year ago and i just saw it. im feeling hyperactive and disgruntled at the same time and im happy to be in the middle of nowhere. thoughts?
