Why did Joe Preston leave the Melvins?

[Moldy]

Yeah, no shit about Pike. He WAS in Sleep afterall...

Maybe Joe decided to cut back...?

[Reverend Ebeneezer]

Pike still indulges. In an interview for Terrorizer in the UK he said that he smokes up whenever he's practicing...

[DubEMC]

We did a little more than smoke with him

[KURDTLUVUR!]

We did a little more than smoke with him

Backdoor sex?!?

Not with those teeth of his. We had a coke and a smile if you know what I mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink

In the relapse Contamination DVD, matt pike got kicked out of the club after he played because of acting up when he was drunk.

In '96 I met Joe while he (and I) were roadies for different bands on the same tour.  He was super cool and yes maybe a little bitter about the "Melvins" thing.  I simply asked him what "those guys" were up too and he said something like, "Crack....smoking crack."  I told him there is no way the Melvins will ever write a record better than Lysol and history has proven they haven't yet ( in my opinion).  And speaking from personal experience I myself got to join a band I so loved and soon found myself ousted...or maybe i just quit?  Anywhooo, sometimes if you get tantalized by a flame the flame can pull you right in.  And when that happens well, you can get burned.  I did anyway;  can't speak for Joe.    Cheers to     J       O       E.

I told him there is no way the Melvins will ever write a record better than Lysol and history has proven they haven't yet ( in my opinion).

This is absolute grunge.

This is absolute grunge. 

I'd like to Read those Zines if anyone has any links?

Was wondering recently about the name Salty Green, I guess there's as good an answer as I'm gonna find.

This thread is a grunge goldmine.
