Trying to book tickets for the Orlando show.
Tickets are $25, but with "service fee" ($7) and tax it becomes $34....
Isn't 30% a bit pricey for a service fee?
Are there any other options besides buying at the door?

Fucccckkkkkk!!!!

guys you gotta stop posting fake dates 
every new date I see I'm already like alright lets do it, then I read a bit further and understand that I probably won't be going to the show at "whore's palace" 

15th of october Rock Palace, Istanbul, Turkey.

Didn't see that coming, wow!

Is it confirmed? I can't find anything about it...

Sorry, MJ, I just had to check if any went on my joke. But what a blast it would be, if Melvins played in Turkey for the first time! Russia for that matter. In fact, Russia is a huge market on alternative and metal, so perhaps Melvins should try Russia, St Petersburg and Moscow?

Fuck I was already planning my trip    would have been great - only a 2 hour flight...

Sorry, now I feel bad, can you forgive me MJ? 

All good bro    I'll just have to find a European date instead...

15th of october Rock Palace, Istanbul, Turkey.

Also I think it's the first time they play North-West France?  Brest, La Rochelle...

15th of october Rock Palace, Istanbul, Turkey.

Didn't see that coming, wow!

Yes, I think it's the first time they'll play Turkey.

Probably the closest gig for me unless they decide to come back to TLV again...

Overall, I like the album, but honestly I'm already waiting for the Steven era to end.

Couldn't have put it better...

I met Steven after the Orlando show last September as he came outside to smoke a cigarette while I was waiting for a cab. We spoke for 5-10 mins and I can say that he is a super nice, cool guy.

However, I also must say that I didn't like his fit in the melvins pretty much from day one, mostly on stage.

He brings in a more "poppy", clean vibe, which I probably wouldn't mind in bands who are NOT Melvins 

For me, Melvins (especially live Melvins) was always about heaviness, weirdness, something you FEEL, DIVE INTO, EXPERIENCE, rather than just watch or listen to.  The 2 shows I've attended with Steven on bass lacked that X factor, that elusive feeling that you normally get after a Melvins show. That "what the fuck did I just watch?" (in a good way) feeling...

The shows with Steven look more "professional" if u'd like, more of a "rock show" for the fans as opposed to standard Melvins which is "Anti-fans"     it lacks that "fuck you" attitude, that uniqueness that distinguishes Melvins from other bands.

It really hit me again a couple of months back when that video of Night Goat with Kevin surfaced. I'd much rather see someone like Kevin on bass...

So yeah I agree about Steven  .

I also agree that this is not a bad album, but I think it's far from being one of their best.

BTW apparently I'm the only one here who likes embrace the rub??

Anyone else going to the Orlando show on the 18th?

Going to the Orlando show on 18/09   

Possibly Tampa as well on the 16th...
