Rest of 2004 Tour Dates Cancelled

[Eponymous]

although, it must be pretty serious. i mean to cancel the rest of the year?

We are into October now. The end of the year isn't really that far away.

well i better start sending tapes of my bass playing, oh wait i need a bass first.

[FartLips]

man that really sucks though, i feel for you guys.

damn if he's on junk or
alcoholic its all the same...i won't pre-judge though until
i hear cold hard facts, like from buzz facts.

I very much doubt Kevin is on junk... Earlier this year I asked him if he took drugs... He pretty much shot me down, the Melvins are anti drugs... I can't see it being that. I reckon its more serious...
Funny how that bassist curse keeps coming around.... creepy. That is if it is Kevin; we don't know for sure yet...

Get better Melvins![/quote]

what a bunch of crybaby dicks we have here. an illness in the band that is causing them to cancel the rest of the year's tourdates, and you're speculating about drug use and bitching about your tickets and shit?

jesus, won't you feel like assholes when it turns out one of them actually had a serious illness?

people get sick. it happens. it may be a bummer to miss a show of theirs, but it's not like they don't tour all the time or anything.

i hope that whoever is sick gets better quickly. they're all good people, and all of them deserve concern and respect.

i say its acid flashbacks from the old cows days

there is nothing to add...

Well, I wish them well and i hope it isn't anything too serious. Kevin was in tip-top form when I saw them last month... Who knows... it may not even be any of the 3, but someone close to them... a wife or something...

At any rate, this is unusual for them and I hope everything works out for them. They are my favorite band, and will continue to be no matter what...

I agree, I was hoping someone might have known what happened but it's pure speculation at this point. The only thing I'll say is that they've cancelled a bunch of shows in Europe, so my guess is that it's pretty serious. I don't know, when I heard Men of Porn was supposed to open a few shows for them in Europe, I thought maybe Billy Anderson could hold down the bass and they could still do the shows, but since the whole year is scrapped it sounds pretty serious.

[ElGrampo]

damn, i would have seen then 3 times in 3 days....and i already got 1 ticket

[Galvano]

Let's hope they will be able to continue what they're doing at all.

[Chomas]

you know its serious if they are cancelling 3 months worth of shows, but I wish them the absolute best.  Let's not make wild speculations as to what is going on though, that's just retarded...

[klump]

its good that we have people like tony here, who knows how everyone should behave.

yeah thanks dad! i think it was courtney again.

Houston here, and yeah I'm dissappointed but expect we'll be seeing them again.  For as seriously as Buzz takes his music, I wouldn't put it past the Melvins for cancelling all if they bassist falls out.  Buzz wouldn't take the Melvins to the stage if he didn't feel it wouldn't be tight.  As for the newbie that posted the reply about if its not Buzz that's sick then just replace the others... FUCK YOU.   You obviously don't know what it take to make Melvins music.  They've replaced the bassist before, but if your little peabrain could understand the concept of math and writing music you'd know that there would be no Melvins without Dale and Buzz.  Dale is just as much the core of Melvins music as Buzz is.  Buzz may write, but aboslutely nobody and play like Dale and Buzz together.  Just ask Dave Grohl, Kurt (pussy) Cobain and anybody else who would have given their left arm to be in the Melvins... It's math and no idiot can do it.
