Melvins at the Blank Club

Somebody please tell us the Marilyn Manson coke story.

Buzz came on and was saying they had to soundcheck because their new sound guy was running late. The new sound guy did sound for Marylin Manson a few months ago and was sent off to try and score him some cocaine. The sound guy ended up getting busted for possession and had to appear in court in San Jose the day of the show which caused everything to run late. There may have been a bit more to the story but thats the jist of it.

I remember the coke story actually affecting things a bit deeper. I think they played that show in SJ soley based on the fact that dude had to appear in court in SJ that day. He wanted a "warm up" show of sorts to work out the kinks before they hit the road with Down, if i recall correctly. Not only were they playing this show and in SJ because of him, he ran late on top of it, so they did that late sound check in front of everyone. I bet Buzz told that long ass story for a lot of reasons, but maybe one was to show that guy how it felt to be lagged on and call him out in the process, all while entertaining us. But who cares about motive-- it was good shit in any case.

That definitely sounds a little more rounded out...and aren't we lucky it sounded so good too!

Thanks Dead Bob and Honkster.  I suppose even watching Melvins soundchecking would be eventful.  You'd think Marilyn Manson would have a designated procurer of drugs other than a soundman.
