So lets see if anyone has any interesting keepsakes from Melvins shows. Add in details if you have any.

I got this set list from their 2006 show in Dublin with Big Biz, Flipper and Porn. My first Melvins show, I was 17 and got in on a woeful fake ID. I remember seeing Krist Novoselic (playing with Flipper) walking around the venue at the start like it was no big deal and wondering what the fuck was going on.
Porn came out and played a ripper of a heavy riff for a few minutes before laying their instruments down howling feedback for about 15 mins before Flipper came out, Bruce Loose's opening line was ''I've been drunk for three days now''. Best part was when he tried to push a focused Krist off stage.
Big Biz where largely unknown in Ireland then, probably still are, but they killed it. Had the whole place singing a slow part they added in during 'Easter Romantic'. I was an immediate fan.
Then the Melvins came on and it was by far one of the best shows I have ever seen. I spent the entire show on the front barrier headbanging apart from one song in a ferocious pit for 'You've never been right'. At the end a sound guy was breaking down the stage and just handed me this setlist, it had never even occurred to me to try and get anything. My buddy wanted to hang out and meet them so we waited and waited and waited, finally Jared came out and said hi, he had a laugh with us and pushed us around. He signed the setlist ''Keep out of trouble'' because he'd seen me get yelled at by bouncers a few times. Truly awesome memories!!!
I got to meet Buzz briefly at the San Fran acoustic show which was great too!

Just a poster.

Although it is copy 101 of 100. An extra one was printed because I missed out on the show lining up.  :lol:

I got this from the Melvins/Unsane cage match tour in Milwaukee. Scott from BB was teching that tour and I was shooting the shit with him as they were tearing down and he just grabbed it off the stage and handed it to me. I really like it because it's probably one of my favorite setlist's to date. Crushing intro and then Bulls and Bees in it's entirety. T'was a great show. It's funny because I usually don't care about stuff like this but I'm glad I have it now.

Hey, I have that same setlist from Milwaukee but mine got ripped  :( We were hanging out after the show and some lady walked by with the setlist, I said "Hey, she has the setlist," to which she replied "Would you like it?" I said "YEEEESSSS!!!!" and gave her a big hug. I got it framed with the poster Haze made that was signed by the band and the concert ticket and the pick from the Melvins/Isis split. If I was smart I would have put the signed booklet from Bride in there too, but alas. Anyways I'll have to take a pic of it some day and put it in this thread.
Hail, not fail.
PS:  fuck him.

I should frame it. It just sits in a drawer which is lame.

Yes and yes.

Good setlist too.

Is there any band that has such a vast back catalogue as Melvins?

no sure if It was Jareds butt or not, but the hotel was miles from anywhere and I just got up and needed something for breakfast.

my head felt like there was a chainsaw cutting a black hole into my mind.

dude, I told you someone slipped me Rufies in my Beer after the show the night before.

soon as I got into the cab I spun like a top.

Which was strange because I only remember having a half a pitcher of beer the whole time.


I puked my balls.


Then BLacked out, Im pretty sure my Ex slipped them to me, from some college douchebags she was hanging off by the bar that night, probly so she could sneak back out after I passed out and party with some other guys all night or something.

She was a real Stand-up woman.

Anyway I didnt Tear off the filter, I burned it with the lighter to sterilize it, thats how the Avenue Road bums do it.

Conda you know what Im sayin man, At the time it felt Awkward doing this, but felt kinda relieved after I hear Poppa Jare goes for Cigs too...I was getting the serious stink-eye from the guys in the van, and knew It was no less than I deserve.
