The 2008 edition of ATP

[(PAUL)]

Nice! You should know all of us who couldn't make it are very jealous.

nice review.  you are a typing machine.  glad you saw the butts, and pinkus is a great showman.  honky really honed his skills, and paul is great now.  glab to know they did not try to pull off the same set list both times.

gibby made the comment last month in houston that mick jagger can play the guitar better than he can.  did he break out the saxamaphone?

[cara]

That was really well written (and long). Sounds like it was tiring.. in a good way.

Great review, Maar!!  With your descriptive stories, and Idlehanz pics, i feel like I was there.  Not really, but it all makes up for it reading your reviews.  Will Lun  be writing anything?? ? ?

[Idlehanz]

Shit, I don't have to write anything now! 

And yes, Gibby played sax both nights.

[Beto Brasil]

GREAT REVIEW !!!!

glad you saw the butts, and pinkus is a great showman.  honky really honed his skills, and paul is great now.  glab to know they did not try to pull off the same set list both times.

When I saw them in Amsterdam a couple of months ago they played for almost two hours it felt.

Last weekend all bands were scheduled for an hour, but most bands played a shorter set, except for the Melvins who did a lengthy version of Boris with Jared going into the audience. What sucked about that Melvins show is that I was spending too much time thinking how I was gonna kick in some faces of the twats a few rows in front of me, fucking distracting. Jared going into the crowd was funny, but didn't add anything to the song I think. I thought he was gonna get dropped when he crowdsurfed but he didn't. Funniest moment was when he put his head under some guy's shirt, then turned his head around, and was taking the guy with him, like some kind of shirt-wedgie, the poor guy had no idea what was happening to him.

Oh yeah, the Buttholes. Yeah Pinkus fucking ruled, hard to say exactly why, just his whole attitude while standing on stage I guess, and a badass player. He was watching the second Melvins show from behind the stage and seemed to enjoy the newer songs.

Gibby started the second show with a joke about how he DID NOT beat up those two girls this morning, because 1) the first girl hit him first, and 2) it was a guy. That guy is just permanently funny. He had noticed a lot of old people at the festival too. "Lots of old people here, man, lots of old motherfuckers", OK maybe you just had to be there.

Will Lun  be writing anything?? ? ?

I have no idea, maybe if she feels like it. I was actually thinking she should add some drawings to my review

And thanks for the kind words, folks.

nice review, but what about the Meat Puppets?

[GrimReaper]

Great review!  I want some pictures.

Who's with the King?

[joey5000]

Who's with the King?

That's Mastodon's guitarist/vocalist.
ATP was amazing, my first, second and third time seeing The Melvins. (if melvins1983 counts)
And I'm seeing them again tonight. 

[norecess]

Of course Melvins 1983 counts, let's not make the confusion on their band names any bigger than it already is, let's leave that to terminologists.

Yeah, that is Brent Hinds from Mastodon, a huge Melvins fan. I heard from MacBastard he threw beer at the security on Saturday night and couldn't get into one of the shows. Good for him, if you ask me.

There are a lot of pictures on Flickr, go to flickr.com and search for ATP there, and then sort by date added.

Alex, the Meat Puppet were awesome, it should be there somewhere in the review. All these reunions have made me skeptical but those guys are obviously just so damn talented and they really shouldn't do anything else but play together and touring this goddamn planet, maybe in a perfect world. I wished Kirk would have joined Porn as well, that guy sure knows how to create some nasty feedback.

I'll scan some wortwhile stuff tonight or tomorrow, descriptions from the program, schedules, tickets, etc. I didn't take any pictures.

There's a few stories floating around of him being a drunken asshole.

Yeah, MacB told me a story he got into a fight with one of the SOAD guys or something, pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Maybe he will listen to Buzz if he would tell him that "drunks are only fun when you're drunk", if he wants to stay part of the 'circle' at least.
