Melvins and Down to tour

[spunkmonkey]

Anyone know where Down usually plays in Seattle?  I just hope to god it's not the Showbox SODO.  That concrete box can ruin any show.

OCTOBER 30, 2008 - SEATTLE, WASHINGTON @ SHOWBOX SODO
OCTOBER 5, 2007 - SEATTLE, WASHINGTON @ SHOWBOX SODO
MARCH 9, 2007 - SEATTLE, WASHINGTON @ EL CORAZON

DAMMIT!  That place is terrible.  Even packed with people, it sounds like balls.  You should hear how bad it is in there during soundchecks when it's empty.  The worst standing-wave wash of reverb ever.  Whoever came up with the brilliant idea to put a music venue in a concrete rectangle is an asshole.  Useless venue.

I totally agree.  Showbox Market is a little smaller (1100 vs 1500 capacity), but sounds about a million times better.

The idea behind the trolling was basically to play up to the stereotype of Down fans which had been said in here. I can't actually remember why now   Fo' shits'n'giggles?

I still resent the comment that the bands members haven't earned any respect. They are all incredibly hard working musicians who have been make music in countless bands for over 20 years.

(WELL, THAT AND MY WIFE LAID THE LAW DOWN ON ME EVEN THINKING ABOUT GOING).

BA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*only has the courage to type this becuase he knows his own wife does not read themelvins.netbbs*

I LET HER THINK SHE BOSSES ME AROUND BY DOING WHAT SHE TELLS ME TO DO.  I SHOWED HER.

I dig what you're saying there.  perhaps my respect comment was slightly off.  I do, or at least DID like COC at one time.  pantera.. not so much.  crowbar.. not so much.   but the cats have the years in.

my point was that I can confidently say that SLAYER is held in higher esteem here than DOWN is.

To be honest, I liked Slayer when I was 14, but they grew boring and monotonous quick. To me;

Down
Crowbar
Superjoint Ritual
Eyehategod
Clearlight
Pantera
CoC

etc...is a display of constant varied music writing . Respectz from me.

im thinking that maybe the main difference between us all, is that melvins fans appreciate the slow, bassier things in life.
but i may be wrong.

ALL THOSE EXCEPT SJR AND EHG ARE GREAT.  SJR IS STILL SOME OF THE WORST SHIT I'VE HEARD IN MY LIFE.  EHG HAS SOME NICE RIFFS, BUT HAS SOME OF THE MOST EAR-BLEEDING, GOD-AWFUL VOCALS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.

I'LL KNOW I'M IN HELL WHEN ALL I HEAR IS SJR.

Lololol I think that may be the only thing we have in common. Doom/stoner my favourite genre of music.

I'm also a massive fan of Dubstep...the slowest bassiest music ever created. If you haven't heard of it yet, it'll be taking over your electronic music scene soon
