I've only met Jared, and he's one hell of a nice guy.

I met Joe (post melvins, a while ago with Harvey Milk [but not at his 21+ show last week :x])
and I say I like him more than Jared. But thats because he's kicked so much ass he had to replace a leg. And I have the whole same name ego trip.
Codys a swell guy too, if he was plank spankin' instead of trap slappin' he'd get my vote.




The little bitch.

I didn't find Kevin all that approachable at all. I met Joe at a Thrones concert and he was a good chap. I met Mark back in 96 and he talked to you but it was hard to read the guy because he wore that redneck cowboy hat and kept looking down while he talked.

Is he balding?  Maybe that's why he wore that big cowboy hat?

He commented on my myspace page before and said "I hate Ohio, but you seem okay".  He seems alright, but Jared seems like a better dude.


By the way, does Jared use the big business myspace page?  or is it coady?  Their replies to my emails are friendly.

Mark D was the only melvins member I ever said a word to.  He actually approached me when I was standing in line for the Helmet?melvins show and said hi how are you? We talked for a few minutes  I would say he seemed pretty nice.

I talked briefly with Jared and Toshi at a Big Business show in SLC, very pleasent fellows. Jared was selling merch while the opening bands played. True gentlemen.

I met Mark D the first time I saw the Melvins, he was a sarcastic a hole but one heck of a bassist. Kevin was very mellow and seemed hard to approach. Jarred gave my drunkin ass a hug after the Houdini show in LA. He was a bit hesitent at first, but then gave in. He was by far the most approachable and friendliest of the three.
