Too bad the crowd wasnt getting totally into it.  Met Big jim and Flutter after the set...you guys are definetly cool! and Flutter was the ONLY other guy I could see in the crowd getting INTO the set as much as me.

tried to find Flutter to get stoned after I went to get some  :toke: :toke: to give to Cliff, ..  but couldnt find em, my friend and I showed up EXACTLY when Buzz and dales Van also did and I nearly bumped into Dale accidentally walking around thier tour van, Trying to find the FUcking Entrance to the venue, the place was sketchy and even the melvins looked a little like they didnt want to be caught dead in Hamilton either.

Cliff and Aaron from ISIS were Sound tech and guitar tech. so I briefly talked to them a little about the BIG DIRTY 50 day tour coming.  I like how Buzz used his clear guitar for the hamilton show and the aluminum one for the Toronto show, big difference.

So I briefly talked to dale as we both went around to the front of the venue to check it out a little, The place was Weird, the stage was an insult to a midget. poor trev...

The sound was SKETCHY...seriously at best.

I smelled so bad a chick next to me was holding her shirt over her nose most of the set.. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D FRIED ONIONS

had a chat with one of the melvins long time Friends who was selling merch behind the table about this and that and the other thing I told him how I really enjoyed his writing in the melvins book and I also said that I thought Trevor was a really good writer too. Very cool and nice guy.

REALLY enjoyed how the glass wall behind Dales kit provided GREAT clarity to listen to the sound check outdside...they were warming up some of the more technically demanding segments off their set to warm up I guess...buzz was singing funny ass shit...

HEaring Dale warm up was entertaining...We just sat on the steps and enjoyed a coffee, Buzz came out for a second and looked around and saw us sitting there like two lousy losers.. and went back inside, not too many people showed, so me and my friend walked around for a while went and got FREE BEER down the street and watched some band in this small bar...the bass player I talked to, also had his ticket for the show.

COOL. FREE BEER AND MELVINS...

out of all the crowd I talked with outside I seemed to know more than anyone else about the melvins or all sorts of other cool bands I could name off...

Trev saw me upstairs and I was like nodding at him and said KILLER, KILLER MATERIAL...GUYS KILLED IT!!! and he smiled at me.
I think he must be a really really nice nice dude.

I really enjoyed watching them play on Thursday in toronto and Wasnt hesitant to mention that to Dale. And I think that meant something to him, because Dale totally stole the Toronto show!!! They fucking ROCKED THE FUCK!!! 

my friend asked him how the london show went...and all Dale said was...It was HOT.

  :o

poor sweaty Melvins, anyway, Love the shirt, got the one with the Sugar Daddy pig, they were a GREAT DEAL, I should have bought both shirts looking back same price as they were 12 years ago, good times you guys, great!!!  :D

Keep in touch FLutter and Big jim!!!

that was without a doubt one of the strangest clubs i have ever been in. i was hoping that upstairs had a balcony to look over onto the stage, but it was roped off. i also recorded the show. i stopped in here to find the setlist. as i ain't much of a melvins fan, but i do regard them as living legends. which was the main reason i went to see them. as much as i wanted to also go to the london show, i couldn't as i had 2 kids to watch that night. i read that they weren't too happy about how hot it was at call the office in london. and that's nothing new. out of all the shows ive seen there this year alone, i have only seen those stupid ass red and yellow spotlights turned off once and the 500-1000 christmas lights turned on that is on the ceiling above the stage. i stopped going to that place, just because they will not turn those lights off. even after band members on stage ask them to kill some of the lights on stage, they still dont. it's like what in the fuck is so hard about that? i've even overheard people at the soundbooth ask buddy to turn down or turn off those lights. and sure enough they wont. who knows if i will go back to another show there, just based on the fact that those lights are the worst thing about that club. i will just stay at the back in a booth under a ceiling fan instead.

anyways, back to the original reason i stopped by here
does anyone got a setlist for the hamilton show?
i got it sitting in my sound editing program on another computer and would like to finish it
for sound wise, it's not the greatest, as i was maybe the 8th to 10th person back from the front on King's side of the stage
and my mic picked up alot of the hooting and hollering
which if i had been closer, it wouldve turned out way better
i'm also not part of the dimeadozen crowd or any other downloading live show thingys
i go by the old school snail mail trading only, and also have been recording & trading shows since 1994
i got shitloads of live shows, including a 10 page print out (in 8 point font)
but at the moment ain't interested in trading (as i am also 2000+ miles away from home)
but that's another story i aint getting into

i'm just searching for the setlist thanks
