Melvins Discussion / Re: Melvins Museum in Aberdeen

« on: October 31, 2013, 09:04:37 AM »

That was some amazing stuff. I really went for the horror/sci-fi thing which I loved just as equally.

What got me though is that on the 2nd floor they had instruments set up for people to play and I'm not a great musician, but I've been playing bass and drums for about a good solid 10 years. They had live drums set up in little rooms with windows you can peek in and watch and I must've played the drums for a good half hour. I found it funny on account people were in there looking at this stuff in a museum. I can't really describe the feeling of how I felt to accurately, since I just woke up I'm a little groggy, but it was just weird to see because I play instruments all the time and these folks were posing with the stuff like, "Look it me I'm rock star." Hahaha! It wasn't a big crowd of folks thankfully, but I did hold a sense of pride playing the drums and people peeking in and snapping video of me drumming. It was a pretty good feel.

I was asked to loan them some stuff for the displays. I declined.

Why did you decline?

Aberdeen is a festering shithole.

I don't understand putting a "museum" in a town that couldn't give a shit about the band in the first place.

Aberdeen is trying as hard as it can to pretend it's a great place because Cobain was born there.

If, IF, the Melvins wanted anything to do with a museum, it should be done somewhere like Seattle, or LA, where people would want to go see it.

This is all my opinion, except for the fact that Aberdeen is a festering shithole.  That's 100% true.

True story, I was at the EMP museum today in Seattle and they are featuring Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana this month. In the Nirvana section where its displaying a whole ton of old instruments they played and albums that influenced them, there is a poster for an early Melvins show with Nirvana opening and a picture from 1986 of Kurt and Buzz hanging out with two other guys.

.....if ya'lls wanna see ask I'll post the pictures. I'm just super lazy right now.

Nor I, I just use the heaphone out or the speaker out and plug that
into the Audio in on my Mac. It seems to work without any problems, you just have
to boost the gain in Audio Pro once you hijack the song

Hmm, I'll check into it then.

What about the huge fat ribbon crasher Coady got a hold of? I think he posted it on his twitter one time. It was ginormous.

I know Dale's drums use to be much bigger, but he's down sized since. Someone point me in the right direction, please.

Call me crazy, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I hope to Patrick Duffy that one of those has a Mr. DNA cover. AMIRITE?
