Last night (San Diego) doors opened at 5:30, show at 6:00.  Weedeater at 6:00.  Danava at 7:00.  Melvins at 8:00.  Down at 9:15.  It was at the House of Blues so consider they are pretty strict about times.  Hope this gives you an idea about what to expect for your show times.

How was the show?

I am curious about that myself. Going to see them at HOB down in Orlando on Wednesday and would like an idea of what to expect(not that it matters).

must add Kevin hitting on MACKIE as "the last straw"

wow. didn't know he was macking on Mackie. that is totally not cool. 

still another whole month to go before Chicken Switch. Will have to fill the time with live Melvins for now.

that is an awesome pic of Dale and Lori. Need to check out Altamont as soon as possible, am embarrassed to say I haven't yet.

Don't be embarrassed, be ashamed. Be very ashamed.

I suppose you are right. 

Kevin Rutmanis - Played bass without a plectrum once.

they do seem to only hire bass players that play with a pick

Matt wasn't fired like the others.  He stupidly left the band to join Mudhoney.  Fail!  That's when Buzz and Dale moved to San Fran from Aberdeen and I'm assuming found Lorax there.  I always assumed she and Buzz broke up and that was the reason for her departure, but don't know.  I've read Buzz' comments about Joe in the past and it was something to the effect of "we did the solo albums and he wouldn't/didn't take his shit seriously and slacked off."  Mark D, again I remember reading somewhere Buzz saying that after Honkey he was ready to break the band up 'cause he was so sick of what he was doing, then he realized he wasn't sick of what he was doing, just sick of doing it with Mark D.  He got the boot.  Kevin was a junkie and the best bass player the band ever had (if you don't count Trevor).  Trevor's never been a band member, just a hired gun like DSS.  Buzz commented at one point that he thinks the current lineups are the best ever and that he'd like to continue to play with the quartet as well as continuing to do one-off shows and live albums with Trevor as a trio.  They did some Lysol + Eggnog shows a while back, here's hoping they do a live album of those like they did with Houdini.

I like both of those ideas concerning the band. More albums as a quartet would be great, but I would like to see them go the "experimental/noise" route a little more. And yes, a live Lysol or Eggnog would make me shit my pants

they've covered enough songs to fill 7 discs with music?!?! that is insane. I need to try and find the Melvins' versions of all of these songs online. I have the cd(s) that Green Honey made but would love to hear their versions of all of these as I'm sure most are on 7"s and live.

The only one I know of is that I believe Lorax got fired for being a junkie. just curious as to the reasons the rest have been fired.

I know it is still a few days away, but I am so damn excited to be seeing the Melvins again; even if it is opening for Down. Fortunately the two people I am going with do not like Down so we will not be staying for that garbage.

5 dam discs worth of songs they have covered?!? holy shit! I would like to have the Melvins versions of all these songs.

I just got done downloading it and will listen to it in a little bit. song list is very awesome.

downloading now and will listen to in a little bit. song list is very nice.

^Amazing 

What is the long box on the right of the picture of all the tapes?

And what is the hand-labelled tape above it?

I agree, that is the most astonishing collection of any one band's releases I have ever seen. I bow to the greatness of that museum.

I found this remix to be interesting. I have not heard anything by any of the artists on here so I am curious to see what each one did.

I'm so lost right now. I have no clue who any of these people are.
