The Jared & Coady years

He stays away from certain message board(s)... plural? Yes, because there are soooo many message boards debating Steven McDonald in the Melvins lol.

There are probably like 12 people in the world that give a fuck about it and they're all on THIS message board. Amiright??

Hey bud! I have themelvins.net in my RSS reader and this time I happened to see a new post and happened to click on it.

Always warms my heart to see this place is still going strong. Got any suggestions for good general threads to hang out on?

...still going strong.  well...   

let's leave it at "still exists". 

my only advice is to avoid the ecumenical discussion at all costs.

PS:  glad to see you're still out there kicking.

(this guy is OG, FYI.  he goes back farther than me)

I was looking to see if Steven had broke the record for longest serving bassist when i noticed on the bands wiki that for both Coady and Jared it says 2006-2015. I've seen that before and always dispute it a little. I'm sure both did play the occasional show with them until 2015 hence why it's listed, but it was probably only a select few. Maybe only a couple. It's not like they were active with the band that whole time. Things get fuzzy when you look back but as i see it the BB era was a distinct 2006-2012 and that's that. Although i know Coady played with them a few times in the Pinkus era. I don't think i've ever seen footage of Jared with Melvins AFTER 2012. It just bugs me that the BB era wasn't so clear and final like other eras in the bands history.

2006-2012      Jared
2012-2013      Trevor
2013-2016      Pinkus (sometimes Trevor)
2016-Present  Steven (sometimes with Pinkus)

Last show I ever saw with Jared and Coady was Jan/Feb 2015 at the Observatory in Santa Ana..

Last one prior to 2015 that I can actually remember was this one on December 31, 2012..
