Of course.  Redd Kross is amazing.

Saw all the Melvins, minus Buzz, watching their set and singing along.  Maybe Buzz was around, too, but didn't see him.

Great show from both bands.  Loved hearing HAG ME, AMAZON and THE BIT in the Melvins set.  Got the 12" NYE split, and the new 1983 10".

It just occurred to me I have no idea who is headlining tonight.  Also anyone know what time the music might kick off?

Here's a short interview with the LA Times today

Buzz must have been reading my posts

"If your idea of a good time is smoking pot, eating burritos and sitting in front of the TV then who am I to call you a boring idiot?"

Thanks for the article!  This show was off-the-hook!!

I stayed for about 1/2 their set.  I saw them a bit early on, when they were new on the scene.  Not a bad band, but Melvins are a phenomenally hard act to follow.  I showed up earlier than I ever have, in the 25+ years I've been following Melvins.  In fact, I was the first paying customer.  Got to see them decorate the hall, both bands set up, and sound check for Redd Kross.  Once Tom arrived with the merch, my attention was diverted.  He was kind enough to let me go through it all before anyone was let in.  My heart just started pounding (thump thump) as I looked through the boxes.  There are 5 variations to the Redd Kross split.  I picked up quite a few.  Please see my pics in the "Trades" topic on this board.  I bought quite a few of the 1983 10" as well.  Then I spent a bit of time getting them signed by the boys.  Jarred was the last one I could corner.  He was a wee bit tipsy, as it was just after the midnight toast!!  Check out his signature on the pics.  The highlights for me were not only Melvins set, but watching the glee on Dale's face as he rocked out to Redd Kross.  He came out right away to watch their set.  It was also great seeing people I have met at previous shows and some new people I had not yet met from this here BBS.  I have only lurked here for awhile and then just recently joined.  One member (and I'm sure you can guess who it was) came all the way from the U.K.!!  We got to hang out and watch their set together. Nice!!  This just has to be the best NYE I have ever had... Vive Melvins!  Rawk on!!!

We all know Mlvns rock like nobody's business but did you also know they can cure the flu?  I walked into the show feeling feverish  and weak, but determined to have a good time.  After five bourbons and three hours of rocking out I left feeling like a new man.  I think it was during Amazon that the flu got scared and fled my body.  Such a fun night. It was a trip seeing a crowd so nattily dressed for a rock show. Jared's white suit and matching turban won the night. The room was a bit boomy but our crew had the sweet spot in the middle and up front. Mlvns set was disappointingly short but they made the most of it. All business, no filler.  A lot of people left after Mlvns, but that was their loss. Redd Kross were fantastic. Dance party USA. Seen em a bunch over the years and they are at the top of their game right now, crazily enough. I liked how they flubbed the countdown and nobody really cared. HAPPY NEW YEAR

What is the longest concert Melvins has ever played? Are they mostly doing 1 hour gigs or can they stretch them to longer? (seen them only 3 times, and each time its been around 1 hour)

well the 2x4 shows were two sets, each one longer than 1 hour i guess.
the last few times i have seen them, their set was around 90min.
