Melvins @ Continental Room 03/23/16

[John Schuller]

Free show at the tiny little place called The Continental Room. Went with Jules and my drummer Paul Alexander (who is a member here but cannot remember his username as he hasn't logged in in years!). Hung out some more with Der L and his friend Liza. Got to hang with Homeless Dad too.

Caught the soundcheck - soundcheck ruled. I have never seen the Melvins on such a tiny stage! It was INTIMATE. The venue was packed - the Melvins destroyed! The energy in the room was so insane that my old ass could only hang in front of the stage for three songs before I remembered that I am way too old to be "caught in the mosh!" If only I were still in my 20s or even 30s I could have done the whole set.

Same setlist of course. And a great setlist it is.

You will never se me with other forumist at a gig, I`ve alienated em all, unless Ian came out of his cave, then we could rock together!

unless Ian came out of his cave

Slim chance of that. I think the meeting boardies thing is overrated. Good to put a face and a personality to the persona and get to know one another in a different sort of way, but it doesn't make a gig any better. Although i guess if someone is an outgoing people person who likes meeting new folk they would find such experiences beneficial. For myself i think it is actually better NOT to meet people from here or online in general. It's never the same and can only alter things. Im willing to bet there are a lot of people here that if i met them in real life i wouldn't like them. Or they me. Sometimes the ignorance or distancing really is better.

I hate people, but i love meeting people on here. I've had a lot of fun and good times with pretty much everyone i've met in person. It doesn't make the show "better" just adds to the fun of the whole night. Have a beer , doobie and a laugh. Good times.
