I hate the majestic theatre.    but if you think that is enough to put a damper on this bill you are sadly mistaken.   I will most assuredly be in attendance.

if you haven't seen Napalm Death live prepare yourself to be punched in the mouth.

I can't wait!

Hell yeah! Like glen I am not a fan of the venue they will be playing at but also like glen I will for sure be attending! Never seen Napalm Death, do I need to wear a mouthguard?

Nice to see they are coming to New Orleans! I saw ND open for FNM and I was not impressed.

Really? Any particular reason? I saw them in February and thought they were rad.

Two of my all time favorites.  My brains and my balls just exploded simultaneously.....

[glen]

do I need to wear a mouthguard?

earplugs couldn't hurt.  the sumbitches ruptured my left eardrum last time I saw them. 


they come out (like many grindcore bands) and just basically punch you right in the mouth right from the opening note.       oh.. the intensity.

"...prepare yourself to be punched in the mouth..."

I know this is an enthusiastic endorsement coming from glen, just not really a priority for me at a show. And I saw Melt Banana open for Mr Bungle. Not my cup o tea, either.
Glad I got to see the Melvins so much the last few years. I'll go, but...

I think maybe we discussed this already somewhere? I saw them at this bar in St. Paul and, though loud, I was a bit surprised that they didn't live up to the "volume" legend they are noted for. But, maybe I'm just in the advanced stages of hearing loss? I am 87, after all.

wussy alert.

A DC date finally! I think the last time they played here was the first tour with Pinkus in, I wanna say August 2013. Which in melvins time is an eternity.

Also, Melt Banana!!! Last time I saw them, that same year, the guitarist tolchocked me gulliver real horrorshow with his headstock.

The Bandsintown app is pretty handy (how I actually found out about this) but the people who attach band photos to the announcements need to do their research.  The pic of ND they used was of their lineup in 1989.  Only one person from that lineup is still in the band.

Does anyone know of Mitch Harris is back in the group yet?

Erik Burke who filled in for Mitch on the last tour is a good buddy of mine.  I'll ask.

[immoraliste]

Difficult to find any kind of info regarding Mitch Harris, but he hasn't played with Napalm in almost a year.

Wow, last time Melvins played Agora Cleveland was the '03 Geek Show tour w/ Tomahawk. Will probably make the 3-hr trek. Haven't been to that venue since Peeping Tom in '07.
Hope Melvins get more than a half-hour slot. I would guess ND gets the headlining spot. I never got into them, but if Burke is on guitar, it'll be good. Have seen him melt skulls with Brutal Truth, & with Sulaco here many times.

Melt-Banana rules, saw the 2-pc lineup this spring and in fall '13. They still deliver, but how can you not prefer the full band lineup? It's the same deal with Buckethead, who oddly enough hasn't toured in almost 4 yrs.
