You hanging with Burgess? Why Missouri? You should hit up the Detroit show man!

[glen]

For sure...

beerdestroyer is coming with me and he just recently broke his neck in a bad car accident. He will be there wearing a halo and all. Now if that isn't dedication, I don't what is...

holy shit dude, awesome!!

so I shouldn't ask if I can sit on his shoulders?   

but anyway... when I see him, and I think it will be pretty obvious who he is, I'm going to shout out "BEER DESTROYER!!!".

I concur! Please don't skip us again, Melvins!

By the way, I'll be wearing a paper-bag over my head.

Yeah, we will be the dudes hanging towards the back just in case any idiots want to start moshing during the show. We will definitely be easy to spot, so anyone is welcome to stop and say hello.

And beerdestroyer would appreciate the shout out, especially seeing he wouldn't even be expecting it. If anyone wants to see someone down a full beer no matter the size (it's got to be in a cup though) in a matter of a second, just hand him one. Dude is an animal when it comes to slamming beer

So, you would say he destroys it?

Something like that...no beer is safe in his presence

Was anyone at the show last night?

[ballsdeep]

leaving for Anchorage about 4pm tomorrow...310 miles to Palmer to crash at a friends, then 40 more miles to Anchortown for installment #1 of the 50/50 tour.


will try and document, both visually and audio-wise, every single second.


single cam, multiple audio.


FUNNIEST part:


I saw George Thorogood at the Alaska State Fair 2 days ago (and the recording is SNAPPY!):


Thorogood gained his first mainstream exposure as a support act for The Rolling Stones during their 1981 U.S. tour. He also was the featured musical guest on Saturday Night Live (Season 8, Episode 2) on the October 2, 1982 broadcast. During this time, Thorogood and the Destroyers also became known for their rigorous touring schedule, including the "50/50" tour of 1980, on which the band toured 50 US states in the space of 50 days.[5] After two shows in Boulder, Colorado, Thorogood and his band flew to Hawaii for one show and then performed a show in Alaska on the following night. The next day the band flew to Washington State, met their roadies who had their Checker car and a truck, and continued a one show per state tour for all fifty states in exactly fifty nights. In addition, they played Washington, D.C. on the same day that they performed a show in Maryland.



soooo, unless the show in Hawaii is at 9am, how exactly is this gonna be a record?

I was wondering the same thing.
Good luck on your trip, be sure to post reviews.

will-do, but will most likely leave the laptop at home and we're either starting the drive home post show (camp part way home in a tent) OR will be getting a hotel that night.

guess I should look at the 3 day forecast, huh?

if the laptop goes, I may be able to sneak in a few paragraph review.


is it cool that I own nothing by the Melvins, have never seen them before, and can't name one song, but have probably been to 1000 concerts in my life and have 1200+ hours of master tapes?

or, trying to be straight-up in terms of my "fandom"...both my gf and I like Tool and Joni Mitchell, groove to Slayer and Brandi Carlile, throw horns to Clutch and Wendy O., and have guilty pleasures (mine Tesla/Black Crowes/Pearl Jam, hers Foo Fighters/No Doubt/Chris Cornell)


just never have crossed paths with these guys in my 20+ years as a live music fan


bottom line: I'm (we're) STOKED, blah blah blah


"evil
cocktail
jazz"


is a pretty cool description, almost as good as bourgeois pig amoeba.


---balls OUT!

  You're going to love the melvins live. 
What made you decide to see them now?  Did you just hear about them?

41 years old (almost), born and raised and still residing in Alaska, just never really had the chance to.

I'm SURE this is different than a full on electric show...for me, it's just as much about capturing as many mainstream acts who come to Alaska as possible (up to over 300 artists easily here in AK) as it is for the diversity of artists (another 'notch on the belt', if you will) and just meeting different peeps.


I steer away from gangster rap and new country.


other than that, bring it ON!

Well now, that was a real ball buster to read. I thought it was all mapped out to a T - I guess I didn't realize that Thorogood hit Alaska+Hawaii back to back, and then Maryland and DC in the same day. What a total fucking badass.

I hope Melvins realize this and figure it out. A show at 9am isn't totally out of the question, is it?
I'd get out of bed early for that!!!!

Have fun at the show, dude.
