Rest of 2004 Tour Dates Cancelled

[Vcavallo]

i've always seen kevin spitting. he's worse than a camel.  i love what a frickin weirdo he is

[ghostpopradio]

i saw the melvins on 9/11/04...the magic stick in detroit...
the show rocked and kevin seemed to be fine...aside from the middle of the show ...he seemed a little confused during a song ....wich was long...he kept looking to buzz like wtf is going on.....are we going to move on already...other than that he seemed in titp top shape...there was even a point in that song where he was hitting a metal hammer against a tube and seemed to smack it right on the mark 99% of the time....after that jello came out and they did like 6 or 7 more songs ....but it was so chaotic
you couldnt tell if anyone was fucking up...
as far as kicking kevin out of the band....i agree with what someone posted earlier about buzz not having a problem telling the rest of the world that he had come to that decision...i guess we will have to wait and see...
all of you people whining about you dont get to see them...blah blah blah...
deal with it and stop complaining about your 12 dollar loss and your non refundable plane tickets...shit happens...and it will continue to happen untill you die...
as for kevin ...if you are ill get better and rock my ass some more....
as for the melvins fans ...relax....no matter what happens they will continue to rock you...just at a later date..

I think it is you who needs to relax. Plane tickets cost quite a bit.  I am sure most people will get a refund for their concert ticket money, which isn't the issue; it's the unfortunate circumstance that the Melvins canceled their tour and some of these people missed out. Yes, there is illness, that is all we know at this point, but what you have to realize is if it is from a drug addiction or something of that nature then I know Buzz is very serious when it comes to performing; it's what he does for his living, and I don't think he will let it go. Action would be taken if this speculation turns out to be true. It just doesn't seem like something like the Flu or Pneumonia. This was something that happened very recent I think because I saw them on 9-10 in Indianapolis and the show was top notch with no odd behaviour to speak of. The 10-1 show in Louisville was another story.

I can't believe how you misinterpret statements.

I was noting that tickets.com doesn't refund their charges for canceled events even though they do refund the ticket price itself. I don't blame the Melvins, Buzz, or Kevin.
In fact, I really can't blame tickets.com because that rule is posted on their website, and I didn't pay enough attention to make note of it. But, I was suprised. If someone out there that uses tickets.com wasn't aware of the policy...maybe I've saved them $12 for some other event. That's all. I know $12 isn't much in the grand scheme of things.

I'm disappointed that I don't get to see my favorite band, but I know that they'll return at another time. I hope Kevin is okay and returns to the lineup because I think he's great. I play bass myself and would love to sit in for Kevin until he gets better. It may not be drugs, the public simply doesn't know. Even if it is...they'll resolve it to my satisfaction because I've pretty much agreed and liked everything that the Melvins do. They're great artists and I like to see what they come up with.

If you think that was a whine then that's your problem.

kevin might have an infection or something, that would cause him to have to stay home for a while.

More power to you man, but I wouldn't have spent 200. Maybe i'm not the fanboy I once was...

i got to see a few other bands to, but besides the melvins and tomahawk the whole thing sucked ...

From Ipecac

First, a couple of members of the Melvins WILL indeed still backup Jello Biafra on Halloween in San Francisco at the Alternative Tentacles party. It will be a special all star band!

I wonder who the "star" will be...

Speaking of illnesses, Mark Lanegan cancelled his homecomming show at the Showbox in Seattle on Thursday night.

"Due to an illness"

What truly sucked was they waited until the last minute to tell anyone, I mean the lights were lowered and everyone expected to rock out. Trying to suck the last beer money out of everyone I guess.

[anaconda]

so he was actually in town grim, in the venue and he
decided he couldn't go on due to 'illness'??? or
did the club promote it knowing full well he was
going to be a no-show??
