Thanks very much! Robot army.

The Fool, The Meddling Idiot--Walter Pigeon says this line in Forbidden Planet after finding the doctor tried to use the brain enhancer on himself and died as a result.

I was just watching FORBIDDEN PLANET the other night, and yelled out loud (to myself) : AHHHH! MELVINS!!!

Haha, yes. Awesome night. That crazy Dixie Dave.
...They usually play Hamtramck, or Detroit. More stories, later.

Did you notice the dead fly and roach behind the "Happy Birthday, Lil' Jimmy! Love, Melvins" cake? Pure class.

Sorry if anyone else has posted about this show. I'm afraid I'm a couple years late on "the review". Anyway, this was easily, the greatest, funnest show I've ever been to. I often dream about reliving that night....so wonderfully heavy, and surreal.

TOUR: DOWN WITH THE MELVINS (Has a nice ring, eh? Try chanting it, it's kinda fun. We all did, actually).
Funny how many people there didn't even know Melvins. Their loss, hmmmfff. Shame, shame.

The night kicks off with Weedeater. Heavy as always, Dixie Dave always delivers: backflips and random vomiting, galore.

On with the highlight of my night: Slowed and Throwed, out come the MELVINS. Buzz in his usual blackened kimono, and Jared wearing a beautiful flowing blond wig. (Melvins is NOT gay, though).

Wrapping up the set, BUZZO announces that it was Jimmy Bower's (drummer of DOWN, and many other bands. FUN FACT: Bower is also a Melvins super fan, and claims that he was the first guy EVER to get a Melvins tattoo) birthday. We all sang the birthday song, while Jimmy stumbled out onto the stage. Buzz says, "Happy birthday, Little Jimmy!" and hands him a cake. Jared says he and Buzz had spent 12 hours making it. In a drunken stupor, Jimmy drops the cake, and looks very sad. We all laugh. As his punishment, BUZZ makes him join Melvins. So... Dale, Coady and Jimmy all drum to THE BIT. It was epic as hell. EPIC, I tall ya!

If you've ever seen Down, then you know they always end with Bury me in Smoke, and everyone comes back out. But this time, it's special. Kirk is wearing a superhero-cape, Dixie is still puking and doing backflips (he recently lost a toe; and can't do this anymore. I feel special for being able to see it). Melvins come back out in their dresses and wigs and show everyone how much heavier that riff can get.

Win? Win.

AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.

Yeah, pretty crazy, eh? I have some more, but thought Dale the Serial Killer would be a sufficient starter.
Years before this, when I saw Melvins, PORN opened and Dale was dressed in an Elvis costume.
It was pretty amazing. Glorious. I think I got a pic of that around here, somewhere. I'll have to dig around.

Detroit: 2009
I was seeing Melvins, and somehow, got sandwiched in between to the two drum kits. My hearing has been off ever since.

Still, it was worth it. In all of his glory, I give you Mr. Dale Crover:


...The Lorax/Beatles photo has always been a personal favourite of mine....
