Lori (lorax)

[Reverend Ebeneezer]

That's terrible news. I had been wondering about this myself for some time...

Hold fast, didn't I read somewhere that Lorax played on Mark Deutrom's 2001 solo record? Or was she in a band with him before the Melvins?

Course if she's dead it would be tough to play on a record. Anyone help my clear this up?

Maybe it says it in the liner notes on Mark D.'s solo album.  She'd probably still be alive if that were the case, since I don't think Mark D. recorded it before late-1998, which people say was the year Lori died.  So the whole article from that magazine about Lori's death might be just hearsay.  But maybe not.  This is confusing.

I think I heard Buzzo say in some interview that the National Enquirer had an article about Lori once, and it said something totally stupid like "The Melvins got Shirley Temple's daughter hooked on drugs", and the article was written in a way that blames the Melvins for it.  I didn't believe that she was dead when I first heard Buzz say that, since it is the National Enquirer we're talking about, but since another magazine stated that she died, I'm starting to believe it now.  


That's sad.

Mark D. played guitar and bass on his solo album.

Did the band Clown Alley (which her and Mark D. were in) release any albums?

Found this on ebay at the bottom of a "melvins" search:

This 7 song cassette is from 1985. Lori Black (Lorax) would later play bass for the MELVINS. Mark, who played guitar in Clown Alley, would ALSO later play bass for the MELVINS. The MELVINS even performed one of these songs:

I was actually coming online to see if there was any new information on the Melvins because I see they're playing at the Troubadour in LA Oct 14th so I was thinking of checking them out. Lori always said to yell, "Freebird" at Buzz to get him to play it at shows, that's what Lori and Buzz used to do together.

As far as I know, Lori is still alive. I dated her a couple of years ago. She is a really special person and I love her very much. BUT, she did get in trouble while on tour with the Melvins for receiving a "special" package in the mail and the cops found out somehow.

She was never homeless or an alcoholic. Although she and Buzz used to joke about drinking. I don't think she ever did.

Why is she out of the Melvins? She just couldn't take all the traveling anymore or at least that is what she told me. I never questioned it.

She's out there somewhere, last I heard somewhere in the Silicon Valley but who knows now.

Lori, if you read this, I wish you the best and I hope you're doing well and may the love of Mahakala be with you.

BTW. Lori and Dale weren't married, that is a different Lori.

[anaconda]

if you dated her, how about posting some pics for us to check out of you 2 together.

[johnny]

I just wanted to let the fans know and actually we never took pictures together. I took one of her but that's the only memory I have of Lori.
She had to worry about pictures of her being sold to magazines. She wasn't in Enquirer as some have said in this thread, it was Star.

But honestly, I don't think she was ever into me, she was still into Buzz but ya can't blame me for trying.

[brian]

you dated her a couple years ago and she was still into buzz?

talk about holding on, they broke up in the early nineties!

[Pringles]

We had a Joe preston and now I guy who argue he dated Lorax.

What next?

Boris from Bullhead in personn?

She wasn't in Enquirer as some have said in this thread, it was Star.

I saw that at the supermarket many years ago but for some reason I did not buy it... does anyone else have that issue? A scan of the front page would be interesting to see (there was a large Melvins pic right there on the on the front).

[johnny]

In the previous post I said "a couple years ago" without really thinking about the dates, it was more like 10 years ago damn, I'm getting old...

[the melvins]

johnny, post that one pic of her... pleasee!!!!
just to prove that you went out with her... cause i kind of believe you.
