Go! Go! Go! Got my tickets already. Prime time saturday night!!! I'm going with a fan of Dropkick Murphys and the Pogues. His first live experience of the Mighty Melvins. To me: Melvins Lite with Trevor would be the thing i'd die for. With Jared and Coady it's always the same thing...

Great concert. Never seen the Melvins screwing up. Professionell team. Been there at 20 h, they started at 21:45 h. Setlist at usual fot this European tour. Great performance, the guys were really into it. No talking to the crowd. Buzz used his double cut aluminium guitar. Sounded much fatter than the last time i heard the guys. Close to his Les Paul Custom sound. Highlights: At The Stake, Sweet Willy Rollbar, The Bit, Shevil. Bought two T-Shirts. No vinyl for sale. Been there with a fan of Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and stuff. He was blown away by Dale and Coady. He was "scared" of Jared ("This guy is so fucking huge and angry. And then he`s singing like an angel.") Perfect:One more friend of the mighty Melvins!

Yes, it was great. Ears are still sligthly ringing (had earplugs at first, but put them out later). I was there with my brother and a friend, and after exploring Cologne the whole afternoon, we got to Geb

Scared of Jared

Sounds like it should be a new flavour of ice cream.

Excellent show :)

I loved how Buzz's look in his eyes while playing and looking into the crowd and I've noted a few decent smiles too. This was my third Melvins show in 3 years. I wish they'd come here more often. I was a little bit disappointed they didn't play songs like Hooch or Anaconda, or Night Goat. But the fact they finally played Shevil and Copache and At The Stake again made up for it. The sound was of course very loud and the venue pretty small (500 people maybe?)... to be honest the last time I saw them (Berlin - 12/06/2009) the sound was better. It took me a few seconds yesterday to recognize the songs they were playing, cause it sounded quite overdriven/overloaded haha. Nontheless, I really enjoyed the show - except for the fact they entered the stage so late. I had to catch my last train and missed the 2nd half of the end jam :( There was one point when Buzz left the stage and took a break behind the huge bass amp from Jared... whiping the sweat from his face with a towel... while looking into the audience a few times, like he was saying: "holy shit! it's so fucking hot in this small place... do they really want me to go out there again?" :D not sure if anyone noticed. The audience seemed really into it, as far as I could tell. At least more than I had expected before or seen it at other Melvins gigs.

Did they do anythign special during the jam or after jam?
Did they say anything maybe? Did Buzz enter the stage again?
Has anyone taken some videos?

Here are some photos I took with my iPhone - sadly some appear a bit grainy. Was in the 2nd row.

Looking forward to see them anytime soon again! One of the greatest live bands I've ever seen - if not my favorite.

(((O)))
