DID I MEET YA GRIM?????? IM ROGER, WAS THE ROGER YOU MET WEARING A MELVINS ARMY SHIRT?   IF SO THAT WAS ME... 

[GrimReaper]

Were you right in front of the stage and did I use you as a human shield during the show?

I am appalled people booed during the Star Spangled Banner. I didn't hear it.

The harmony keeps getting better and better.

[grays harbor mafia]

YEAH..LOL    THAT WOULD BE ME!!

I agree with everything that Like Stee said about the show. Toshi kicks ass in my book and fits well with the Biz. He's also a good engine ear for the Melvins and an all around nice guy. It was cool to see Billy there, wished he would have been able to rock a Porn set but you can't have it all. Walsby is working his ass off at the merch table, I hope he is not in the loony bin at the end of the tour he seems to already be freaking a bit. It was cool to see so many peeps from the bbs. I really liked the set list this tour and I have never seen the band so tight, the timing was incredible. Buzz is like a machine I was absolutely blown away. The rest of you waiting for Melvins in your town are in for a real treat

that was one of the best shows i've seen them play...i must've looked like an asshole i was grinning from ear to ear the whole time.  wish i would've gotten more merch, but i still need money to get drunk at the funhouse tonight.

toshi    wasnt bad by any means, i just think it will take some getting used to it.  Im sure it will grow on me,  just not used to seeing someone else on stage, unless its dale coming up to shred!!!!  and now that toshi is playing with em, thats probably not going to happen anymore

[Smellis]

Forgot to mention that when they broke into Honey Bucket the amp stacks started rocking. I have never seen them do that, they were swaying back and forth like a damn earthquake! I mean they were really bouncing around holy shit that was cool as hell. Like a damn Melvins earthquake I tells 'ya. 

[glen]

you just knew honey bucket was going to set any venue off.

I got to get out west too add to the family affair one of these years.

Last year when Toshi played with 'em Dale still came out and rocked the last song or two in addition to Toshi.  2 guitars.

I am appalled people booed during the Star Spangled Banner. I didn't hear it.

What?!?! 

Yep.  I had moved towards the back by then, and distinctly heard a small handful of chumps somewhere just out of sight but within earshot booing a bit.  The drumming at the end of the Star Spangled Banner kicked some serious ass.

What?!?! 

At the Pdx show two 'punk' kids flipped off the band the whole time they sang the SSB.  Ya know, cuz they're punk.

Last night's show was amazing!  Great mix of old and new, though if I'm not mistaken I've yet to hear the new line-up do anything from the Kevin era.  Am I wrong?

Also, Dale - it's been noticed on this board that he's gotten a bit on the large side, and after last night's show he was leaning on his cymbals and kinda weaving back and forth as if he was going to pass out from exhaustion.  Hope the guy is ok.

It was so great to hear Eye Flies again!  And are the Melvins starting a new tradition of taking a classic-rock song and fucking it up.  Last tour was I Want to Hold Your Hand, this one is My Generation - what's next?
