The Biafra 5-0 shows are going to be great. If Buzz has gotten Dillard to show up why not Lukin?
What has Buzz said about Matt in the past? Totally out of music?
It would be cool if Lukin showed up during the Mangled Demos shows. Do a few songs and get drunk. Forget about carpentry for a while.
I don't think it's going to happen. If so, this would have been the perfect chance.
In the past Buzz has said (loosely quoted) that Lukin was ''an alchoholic'',
and that he played ''too many bum notes'', and ''couldn't play very well''.
But you never know.

And he would get upset and throw his bassguitar across the room cause he couldnt play a simple song off of gluey.
and buzz has made many comments about mudhoney.
It's possible, but not likeley for a matt/melvins reunion. the melvins played a show with mudoney 3 years ago, without lukin. also, lukin's bass playing got better in mudhoney.
I'd like to see a Lori show, or a Mark D show..a Matt show won't happen, and a Lori show won't happen..Mark D is unlikely.

i like david scott stone shows.
I don't remember his actual playing when I saw them, but those noise performances he does before the melvins come on are badass.
are you being funny
Who played the sheet metal on the COD tour?
Not a chance.
Funny you'd bring this up. I went to the Posies magnificent 20th Anniversary shows the other day at Neumo's. Many ex-members played throughout the night- even Musberger, with whom Stringfellow had a fistfight to end his tenure with the band. Lori, Joe, Mark, & Matt have as much chance as Kurdt Kodeine.
Drive down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home.
I'll take a walk so I could curse my ass for being dumb.
I'll make a right, after the arches, stinking grease and bone.
Stopped at the supermarket people stare like I'm a dog.
I'm going to Lukin's.
I've got a spot at Lukin's.
I knocked the door at Lukin's.
Open the fridge. Now I know life is worth.
I found the key but I return to find an open door.
Some fucking freak who claims I fathered, by rape, her own son.
I find my wife, I call the cops, this days work's never done.
The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun.
kinda off topic:
id like to see a show with adam jones.
anaconda once said something among the lines of: "if you are able to keep up with Buzz and Dale on GPT, you can't be a very bad bass player", always liked that line.
Buzz kinda wanted Matt Lukin to take bass playing more seriously. He mentioned how Lukin added like 3 new bass strings to his bass, but still had one old one, so it didn't sound right or something like that.
I'd think Matt would get back with Mudhoney before the Melvins, and I don't see either happening.

Matt played with Mudhoney around 2001, and it really was a great show. Lukin cracks me up.. Lots of one liners.

just because you are able to play songs written by another artist doesnt necessarily mean you are a good bass player. I feel it is what you contribute as a creative musician, thats what i think makes a good bass player or guitarist or whatever.

Sure, of course. I'm all for ignoring the rules and write your own book. To quote Keii Haino then "First there was music, then came the rules", and that sums it up perfectly. I was trying to say Matt Lukin was a good bass player because he was able to keep up with Buzz and Dale at that time because Gluey Porch Treatments is one motherf*cking isnane album! The structures, rythm shifts, fast, slow, stop, break, interval, fast, speed, slow, end.... I'm just saying he did a pretty good nevertheless and if he would have been bad he wouldn't been able to follow, I'm sure.
Come on, Fez ! Even Cobain auditioned for the Melvins and failed, and according to Rolling Stone Magazine he is the 12th best guitarist in history in their top 100 list of greatest guitarists off all time. Just to give you a loose idea on what level the Melvins are functioning.
no.
we all love buzz, but we all know he is a control freak.
he doesn't care about the bassists that leave/or are fired
i find that very sad, because some of the best bassists have been in the band (JOEMARKKEVINETC)
buzz holds too many grudges, come on buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Why do they need to reunite with Lukin? Just because he was the original bass player? To get more audience on shows? 70 % of Melvins fans don't even know who is Matt Lukin and nobody really cares who plays bass for Melvins. It's all about Buzz and Dale.

We're talking Melvins here, things work a little different then whatever your flavor of this month is.
So, from now on, every time you ask yourself 'why?', you should ask yourself 'why not?'. If you manage to do that, you'll get a much, much idea of what the Melvins are about.
I can't believe I actually took the time to respond to you.
seems like a lukin reunion is less likely than a kevin reunion but more likely than a JOE reunion.
I don't think J-rad and Coady are going anywhere.
GOOD.

i agree, these guys were meant to stay
it's weird how many people could work so well with melvins
I want to see them add a Roland 808 to the mix.
