Melvins and Down to tour

[Like Stee]

That's fucking rich.  I bought some of their music years ago based on the Trey Spruance connection, but never knew about the Hamburger thing.

did you know he was mr bungle's tour manager? also for link wray.

I was just reading that in the wikipedia article.  Hence the Patton connection, and Ipecac reissuing Great Phone Calls.  Hilarious disc by the way, if you don't own it you should.

but, there's hundreds of albums i 'should' own, even more so than the great phone calls album which i've never heard.

I read this thread as melvins to tour down under : /

If you watch a Phil Anselmo interview and bypass the fact that his eyes are permanently closed and he takes forever to complete a sentence in his slow deep nu orlinz drawl then I think you'll agree he is quite an intelligent charming man.  Down fans are not knuckle dragging rednecks, Down are a good band comprised of members from great bands, Pantera were the best metal band ever no contest.  Watch an interview with Buzz and tell me honestly do you think he's super intelligent or inspiring.  He seems to contantly talk about how unfair the music biz is, how all the best bands are unpopular, his music is so suprememely arty that the majority dont get it blah blah fucking blah.
Don't get me wrong i love the Melvins and own everything by them but I like them best when they stick to doing what they do best be it good heavy music or interesting experimental Honky style.  I just think you Melvinites are seriously taking this whole thing way too seriously.  You're embarassing yourselves as close minded idiots whereas the Down fans are open to the idea of Melvins supporting.
Was there this much fuss when melvins played with Kiss?

[ConJuan]

So basically my point is Phil Anselmo is wonderful, Melvins are wonderful.  Let us embrace the coming together of Melvins and Down and have a massive lovefest.
Amen.

Peace..........but Pantera was never hands down the best metal band ever.......................Peace brother.

It's a matter of opinion I agree wholeheartedly.  For me Pantera are the ultimate metal band followed by possibly Sepultura.  Megadeth had the riffs also some Slayer and Metallica but Pantera for me have the best combination of everything.

Zeni Geva is probably hands down the best metal band ever.

I've never heard them but I'm gonna make it my business to check em out right now.  Thanks for the recommendation.

Sepultura DEFINITELY comes before Pantera for me.  WAY better.

[violent office]

Zeni Geva are kind of like the Melvins in the way that they're not really metal per se, they're just have tendencies to be incredibly heavy and not in the way that the Melvins are.

Incredible band.

Not when we're talking 90's. Granted Sepultura had the early 90's covered with Arise and Choas....but no one did it like Pantera did in the mid 90's as far as big metal bands go.

I mean Far Beyond Driven is still one of the most brutal albums ever to appear on charts like what it did back in '94. I still can't believe it made no. 1  on the billboards

tell that to this guy (from the down message board):

I was listeing to eggnog before ANYBODY fucking knew who the melvins were....
like 1991
they fucking suck......
puke
I hate that band now really not a band cause they get new bass players every five minutes..
they fucking come out on stage wearing capes for gods sake....
I think we should all head over to that board and start educating the retarded masses....
that music sucks...
it had its place back in the day but holy shit why did they stay so popular?
crap pure fucking crap
down is gonna blow these weirdos right off the stage....
and congrats to the melvins for finally getting to play in front of a big crowd...
buzzo needs to thank the band for the holy interaction


BTW:  melvins supporting?    HA!
