Quote from: Dumpster D on Today at 03:23:40 AMAlso, re-watch the story as Buzz tells it. His wife didn't tell him not to fudge things with Dave after re-connecting...Things were already fudged and she turned and said to him 'You are the only person in the world who would have done that'

From memory Buzz and Grohl had re-connected and Them Crooked Vultures were in town so Grohl offered to put Buzz on the backstage guest list. Buzz for whatever reason felt insulted like he was being treated like a hanger on/fan. Mackie told him not to screw up the opportunity (potential FF tours, QOTSA tours etc) but he rung Grohl back and told him to stick the passes up his ass. Buzz 101.

Quote from: Dumpster D on Today at 03:05:18 AMWhere would Dave be today without that one phone call from Buzz?

'Hey Dave, My buddy Kurt is looking for a drummer, are you interested?'

That's right and it's stuck in his craw ever since. He found Grohl for Kurt, Nirvana then went on to become the biggest band in the world and then after Kurt died Grohl's next band FF became even bigger than them. He expects Grohl to kiss his ass not realising he is the one who should be kissing Grohl's ass. But he won't and even goes out of his way to antagonise the guy.

You might think that attitude is cool or edgy or whatever but it sums up Buzz's career. He is where he is because of it. The Melvins with their semi-legendary status should be playing much bigger venues and getting on support slots for bigger bands, perhaps like opening for FF in stadiums, but no. It's Crover I often feel for what if he had stayed with Nirvana instead? Perhaps them blowing up would never have happened but maybe it would've.

Quote from: Dumpster D on Today at 02:35:03 AMThe band didn't get where they are today by letting other people call the shots for them.

Where are they today exactly? Anyway I'm not interested in having an argument over it but he's burnt numerous bridges and even his wife told him not to fuck up the last olive branch Grohl offered but he couldn't help himself and did it again. Just because he never wants to be seen as bending the knee to someone higher up the food chain than him. NIN, White Zombie even Patton himself at one point. He can't help himself he reminds me a lot of my father both text book examples of cutting their nose off to spite their face.

Quote from: Bigval on Today at 01:52:55 AMAs the older person, supposedly more mature person, he just should've let the young women have their way.

Why?

Because it's just some mickey mouse 7" single, Melvins have released shitloads of those. Who cares about changing the cover to appease the other artist. They're young women from Sweden a very left-wing country and as we all know young chicks will die in a ditch over anything. Buzz, old enough to be their father just should've relented, but he didn't, he never does and that's why his career has panned out the way it has. I say that as a Melvins fan but he's always been his own worst enemy.

The girls (or main girl Asa?) were unhappy about the front cover of a semi-nude woman or something, I think it was drawn by Mackie. They wanted it changed but Buzz refused so they cracked the shits, protested it and then disowned the release.

You can argue whatever but IMO Buzz should've relented but he didn't, he never does which is why he has so many falling outs. As the older person, supposedly more mature person, he just should've let the young women have their way.

Anyway soon after that the other girl quit the band so Asa, I think her name is, ended Shitkid, which was originally a solo project anyway and quit music. After 4-5 years away I think she started making music again 1-2 years ago under a new name.

I'd say that's one of those mini tours that they do every now and then - just a few dates. Technically a tour but looking at the year, the BIG, main tour starts in April. It would make sense to have a new record around that. Although Melvins don't always follow that pattern.

No doubt Coady will be drumming with them though.

I never liked Mastodon, other than a song the drummer sings and in the video they're floating in space cool song that, but Mastodon recently did a headline tour with Kerry King supporting them. If KK did a tour with the Melvins his band would be headlining. Mastodon do pretty well for themselves.

I haven't seen ND live but I remember meeting them, unintentionally, at an instore signing on their 'Diatribes' touring cycle many moons ago. A mate at the time was a big ND fan and couldn't go to the show being under 18 so I tagged along with him to the instore signing. He had some albums and stuff he got signed but I had nothing so got one of the free tour posters signed by the band. No idea what ended up happening to the poster, wish I still had it but they were nice guys.

Another Trevor Dunn band? Hard-Ons with Jerry A? Doesn't sound like Tim Rogers will be fronting them for these shows?
