40th anniversary tour

[PepsiMike]

Bigval is completely correct about the years 3/4 difference.

Where my confusion comes in is, how come 2004 is 20yrs? Isnt it 2003? Obv it makes sense that 2013 is 30th anniversary (83-13')

Probably because of Crover not joining the band until '84. In an interview recently with him the guy said something about the Melvins 40th anniversary this year and he said for the band it is but for him his 40th won;t be until next year.

I think maybe that as the Melvins haven't announced a headline tour yet this year and with the Bungle tour happening in May so unlikely a tour announcement to come before then so they may be holding off until 2024 for Crover's 40th anniversary with the band.

For the 40th Anniversary Tour it is time to bring back that 3 sets of Melvins shit they did on the Stag Tour.

Set One: Melvins Classics from 83-22
Set Two: Colossus of Destiny (and not some 5 minute thing either!)
Set Three: Bad Moon Rising played in full with Dylan Carlson playing his guitar parts.

Not that the Melvins give a shit what anyone thinks THEY should do, but damn that kind of show would allow me to die happy. Bad Moon Rising is worth playing in full.

At the very least bust out a few deep cuts on these upcoming tours. Like, I'll go regardless but I'd be down for some genuine surprises.

You guys are funny. I started a thread dedicated to their 40th over six months ago which was effectively drowned out by pessimistic comments.

Now you've made three of them. Happy Birthday.

By the way, the Pessimiser is a seriously amazing guitar pedal.
