I don't post a lot but I've been ghost reading on this forum for almost five years now. (and it's the only forum I've looked at since the official Ipecac one closed)
I've come to the conclusion that as a true Melvins fanboy at heart living in the American South I was:
a.) the only one "here" that was REALLY excited about this bill, as a fan of both Melvins and Down (sporting a Pantera shirt as I type)
b.) the only one "here" that truly "gets it"... I mean come on guys, Buzz deciding to open for a Phil Anselmo-led band for their 25th anniversary tour... FUCKING CLASSIC MOVE
c.) the only one thinking that the Melvins, without question, SHOULD BE the openers on a bill like this (Weedeater playing first of course)
Lastly: a tour was supposed to come to fruition with Weedeater, Hank III, and Down earlier this year, it was actually announced... and now it's Weedeater, Melvins and Down. You see? You can play all sorts of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" type shit there and win in the first move. And Hank isn't playing in Europe until August 21 so yeah, expect all sorts of whiskey-drenched surprises on this tour.
