Melvins Tour Diary on Spin Magazine

[Dan_Halen]

I am generally a non-violent person but I am glad I wasn't at that show. OMG I want to punch all of those people right in their stupid retarded faces.  If they are going to heckle they could at least be funny, not drunk and retarded. Holy fuck the entire show is under two hours including Tweak Bird, how much fucking booze do morons digest at these shows? No wonder Buzz is straight edge....

As a sorry bastard who's moved from Seattle to L.A. to New London, I really enjoyed that one!

Most bands blow off playing Florida completely.

Too true. One of the many reasons I left.

All three dudes are terribly good writers. Entertaining, thoughtful, and extremely funny.

Walsby made a bummer of a post last night on his facebook. I guess they got two flat tires - George Thorogood was behind this, for sure. I imagine he ordered a box of super giant nails and a sling shot from the ACME Corporation and shot it in their direction.

Good news is, the band is back on the road, and seem to have made it safely to the next destination. Three more gigs! USA! USA! USA!!! Melvins making it into The Book of Genesis is near. Melvins making it into the Book of World Records is nearer.

This is unbelievably exciting

Looking at this picture.  It makes me think of years from now - especially in a few recent interviews where Buzz has said he doesn't care what happens to all the music when he's dead - it makes me think of one of his mumus hanging in the Smithsonian with a pair of sneakers just below it.  In a just world, that's exactly where they would be.  But alas . . . who knows . . .

[ZAPPAJOE]

.... oh yeah, that picture also makes me want french fries.

I love Trevor's writing

Me too! He is great. I like what he said about the big plastic signs in the truck stops

primary colors for primates.

and also this

But I accept the communication breakdown gracefully. I let her have her shitty day and carry on with her shitty life. Far be it from me to assume anything about anyone. Maybe she's perfectly happy, content, spiritually enlightened and loaded with cash.

I'm a fan of this.
