Detroit 6-24

Thanks for the reviews.  It's always good to see more love for Jared.

Hell Yes! Another stellar Melvins show! Best I've seen this line up pull outta their hat. That setlist had alot to do with it ... Damn! Love that setlist man! Aside from that, as always they played amazingly an' just gave it 110%   ... though with every new tour/show this line up just gels more and gets tighter and tighter ... the dual drum thing just getting better and better each time! Someone on this board once suggested that trio Melvins is just heavier, darker and weirder than the quartet

[blag jesus himself]

great show, best set i've ever seen them play except for the HAT tour.  i happened to be right next to the jackass that got thrown out so i got to enjoy a couple of beers on my back/head.  the girl next to me got DRENCHED and i thought she was gonna kick his ass at one point. don't think the band was out of line at all in stopping the show to yell at him, he was definitely taking his bullshit too far.

i was also right next to jared so i may have been standing next to glen the entire time without knowing it.

got the last copy of the senile animal vinyl - so glad i didn't buy it last month for $70 when i had the chance!

yeah glen sorry we didn't hang as much . i was looking forward to it.

i was by the back bench for first set, i was in front of the control board. being tall.

i got the shirt with the octopus, they were out of bride cd's.

good review by the way Mount Amb

Killer, killer show. As always it was a pleasure to run into Glen, and unfortunately, as always I failed to meet any of the rest you. Next time let's make it happen. 

Some highlights for me, focusing on ones not already mentioned:

"Lovely Butterflies"  - especially Jared's noise jam at the end.

"Bacon Industry" - I would have picked "We Ate Sand", but damn that sounded AMAZING last night.

"We Fuck Around" - I am cursed with hearing early Beach Boys nearly every day. That interpretation made me smile.

"Revolve" - just sounded awesome. I' m dying to hear "Roadbull"  with this line up.

Jared's outfit. It looked like he wandered in off the set of a 70's sci-fi movie.

Totimoshi. Love the band MELVINS pick as openers.

"Black Bock" - I love the way that song is sweet on the surface but evil underneath.  Good to see it revived.

That fucker deserved to be kicked out. Fuck him. The silver lining to that cloud is that Dale channeled a bunch of that pissed off energy into beatin' the fuck out of those skins like I haven't seen him do in years.

at the merch booth I scored:

(a) Senile Animal vinyl.
The Totimoshi shirt with the Aztec pyramid and the rising sun.
Walsby's MELVINS - My War poster. He graciously autographed it and wrote "Side Two!"

It was a great night. The friend I went with said it was one of his top ten all time shows. I sure as hell thought it was great too. \m/\m/

[Smellis]

WOW sounds like an awesome show. I would have been pissed too if I were Dale, show some damn respect for the MELVINS!! They are coming my way, I am next!! Cool.

This was the 4th time for me seeing Melvins live. While I have only ever seen them as a quartet, this show was definately my favorite. The setlist blew me away, Amazon being a highlght for me. Did anyone happen to record this show?

[Jozzy]

Not much else to say about the show that hasn't been said. That douche definitely deserved to be kicked out. I'm just glad Dale didn't follow through with his threat and stop the show completely after the second time. I liked Jared's quote "Do you know how much it costs us to dry clean these?!?!? (in regards to their mumus ) This was definitely my favorite show with the Big Biz guys...Also, was cool chatting with ya, Armo. And I also got to chat with Jared for a few minutes after the show, seems like an awesome dude.

And yeah, did anyone record the show

[EGO the Living Planet]

I saw some dude video recording the show. He said check youtube in a few days.

[Melvy]

Yeah, how is that being "pissy"? Seems like he was reacting like ANY other musician would.

Also, glad to see everyone loved AMAZON as much as I did! By far the highlight of the Boston show for me.

[glen]

what was I thinking having the audacity to question anything a member of MELVINS might say or do.

look, he's one of the single greatest men on earth. there I said it.

all I'm saying is if MELVINS would have stopped the show becuase 1 (or perhaps roughly 1 to 2% of the audience) was acting like a fuckhead I would have considered that a potential overreaction and been most displeased with it considering the fact that I and many of those around me were more than civil, gracious and had gladly paid our admission to see the show.  I would have left there thinking "man, I didn't deserve the way that ended."  punishing everyone in the building over a very, VERY select few seems extreme.
the situation ended exactly as it should have. "drunk fuck" gets shown the door and the rest of us continue our audio-bliss.  but it got a little shakey for a minute or 2. thank god for small venues where the guilty parties are easily indentified.

PS: please,  allow me to reitterate...  dale crover = super human

[Ron Maiden]

My boy Baker took these.
Here's Dale upset. He's got like 10 secs of video of the outburst.
























Now who's gonna be the first to quote this whole fucking batch of pics to comment on one of them?

anyways, some of these are pretty sweet. there's a few more that I didn't post.
he's been scanning old pics of clutch too from back in the day. St.Andrews and Toledo Asylum shows.
Here's his Facebook page.
