BOSTON RESIDENCY SHOWS

[pinkyslim]

Didn't you just post on the AMREP forum that you already have a friend lined up to get you one of the Molly LP versions?  Things that make you go hm.

Since when is it any of your business what I buy and where I post about it? What are you? The fucking Melvins merchandise police? From what I have heard on here, you stole pinkyslim's husbands username and identity. So speaking of "things that make you go hm". Perhaps you ought to try  minding your own goddamn business and not be so concerned about what other people are buying. If that doesn't work, you might try getting a life of your own, I hear they are selling those at the Residency shows in a limited number of 50 as well.

So excited for tonight! I'll be the blond haired  kid wearing the octopus Melvins shirt.

If anyone going to any of the boston shows could possibly try to get me a tri-colored black betty please send me a pm please!!!!??????

can anyone grab a melvins/kiss poster for me?

i can honestly say that last night was the best melvins show i've ever seen.  i knew it'd be good, but FUCK!  they were great!!  here's hoping tonight garners the same reaction.

the paradise's "no moshing/crowd surfing" policy is a wicked buzzkill, though.  as soon as people started moving around security crawled out of the woodwork and started running all over the stage to stop people.  lame. 

merch was good, i grabbed the two tour shirts, a bride LP and a residency box set (i was the first person in the club, yet somehow i got #6/50) ... i decided that $25 was a bit too much for a 7" .. and i didn't see any the tri-color ones, but i guess i might have missed them.  oh, and i'm pretty sure haze overcharged me, but i didn't realize it til later.  oh well. 

hail melvins!

oh, and i saw tapers...  SHOW YOURSELVES!

The first night was incredible.  They are really on top of their game.  I noticed that at least the first set was a bit shorter, no "Eye's Flies" like there is on the "Residency" CD set.   No "Star Spangled Banner" either.  My guess is that they mix it up a little bit from town to town.  To say this was a bummer though would be extreme nitpicking.  I loved the show.  Can't wait to go back tonight!!

The Melvins are the toughest band to shoot...no photo pit, two massive drum kits, and very dark stage lighting. I'm glad that Jared came over at the very end of the show or i wouldn't have gotten anything of him. And I'm glad i withstood the crush the crowd and stage edge/testicle mashing to stay up front until the end.

I didn't hear any Morbid Angel talk...to my right were two brothers (one taller, w/ glasses and the other w/ his girlfriend).

i had a Hail Satan (Bruins shirt from last year) shirt on.

I was right next to the two brothers/girlfriend for most of the show and talked to them quite a bit. They came from Connecticut

By the way, that picture of Jared is awesome! He was really funny and animated by the end of the show, picking up drumsticks and hitting various cymbals and the tambourine on Coady's hi hat cymbal. He then did some chant thing in Buzz's microphone.
