Some thoughts on Salad...

[eddie]

Influence of Atmosphere is between Anaconda and We Reach, but they didn't bother to list it.

[idiotboy]

The one time i saw them live - about the time when Honky was released and mark d. was on bass - before they started Mark D. did a 'fist' at the crowd then he said 'My name's Sheryl Crowe and every day is a winding road' - hahaha

I would've seen em at the exact same time as you idiotboy, during their '97 tour of Australia ...and have to admit it was the best (not only cause it was my 1st) Melvins gig I've EVER seen - the band as a whole were alot more audience friendly (you can hear proof of this on the "Alive At the Fucker Club" cd - which was recorded in Melbourne) ...so as a result the Mark D years will always be my favorite - he was really funny (even when being completely sarcastic!) and very talkative on stage, which is something sadly lacking in the Melvins of today


I was even lucky enough to go to an instore signing which only about 30 other people showed up for (it was an extremly cold winters night in Melb.) and was absolutely blown away at how friendly all 3 of the guys were - Buzz didn't even need promting with questions, he just started chatting away like I was his closest friend!!!




this is the Melvins I'll always remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the footage from 1984!  

[runk the punk]

Necro bump.

Joe was selling t shirts at this show and my impression was that he was not happy about that. The shirts were bullhead and Melvins fiend club parody with the Boner records Black Flag thing on the back

My review:

Not shot in ultra 4K Space Titty HD Either, which boardie shot this so I can endlessly bitch to him about it?

[meezer]

I borrowed this on VHS from a friend who was already onto the Melvins when I got into them.
I didn't know any of the songs. The quality was a little lacking. The cover made me hungry for some goddamn jello. I should watch it again.

I watched my dvd version not that long ago and I still think it's great. It's a hell of a setlist. I do hate the spinning part during If I had An Exorcism. That part is stupid annoying plus it makes me queasy.

I could do without the close ups of Dale in his Speedos.

Was happy to See the DVD release finally after years of Trying to Track down a VHS copy with no luck and the prices on the internet were not cheap either. 

You can Tell buzz is about Ready to Kill Joe when he doesnt Come in when he is supposed to at one part of the Set and he is Just Off in space being a fuck-goof. 

My Dad watched some of this with me and all he said was: that Drummer looks FRIED! 


The best part is when Buzz Busts out the ampeg Guitar for the last couple Tracks. 

My friends all point out the one guy down in front in the Blonde hair with Stripey T-shirt looks like Kurt Cobain himself.

A special night, would have loved to have seen them this early on. Although I was only....5

1: when is that???

2: maybe i need some new glasses but where the hell do you see him playing an ampeg?

[Dumpster D]

The last few Tunes he is using it right near the end, and its only briefly. (Its the same or similar to Guitar used by Black Flag during their show on the decline of wester civilization Video) its got black Electrical Tape around the Humbucker to Either hold it in place or Dampen it a little from being too rowdy.

definetly used it for recording some tracks on EGGNOG, its what gives off that Ear splitting Screeching Feedback!!! 

I thought it was the Ibanez Iceman (or whatever its called) But Anaconda posted me the Pic of the Ampeg Guitar, Damn Stupidly Rare Guitar, would look Choice with a set of oversize Ludwig Vistalites!
