Killer set-list

If i had to remove a song, it would be The Beatles cover. I'm not too fond of that one. Not that they do a bad job of it but i don't think it really fits Melvins somehow.

I think it is interesting that they STILL keep playing Evil New War God. I think that song has been in every setlist since it came out 13 darn years ago now!! That is really quite impressive and amazing. It's not a bad song at all so i don't mind too much. I really do wonder though why they always include it. I guess they must just love to play it or consider it a high water mark in their career.

I would also like some info on how things are in the Mr. Bungle Camp as well.

For the Hollywood Palladium show, Spotlights had great tone - nice and thick, Melvins utterly destroyed, Mr. Bungle utterly redestroyed everything that just got destroyed. They played a killer set with (I believe) all of the songs from Easter Bunny, some covers (Circle Jerks, S.O.D., Slayer, Spandau Ballet, John Sebastian, Van Halen) and they ended with "My Ass is on Fire". Trey is the most shredding motherfucker there is.

I can't recall hearing it but maybe once or twice not including the Buzzo solo acoustic tour. Maybe those are specific tours I missed.

If they had Onions Make The Milk Taste Bad on this set that's the tune I'd have suggested in that context.

I can also appreciate the fact the Melvins did a solid changeup of the set they'd been doing from 2019 - 2022.

I know Buzz mentioned perhaps around the turn of the year, that they have played it at every show over the years or since the Bride album. That sounds about right too because when i read that it did seem like it never gets removed from any setlist!

It's very nice to see it get refreshed a bit. I still think they could have gone further though - remove Honey Bucket and Night Goat. Maybe even some would like to see Never Say You're Sorry removed too since that's been knocked around for a while now. I wouldn't agree with that one though.

Not like they're catering to any audience, but for the Bungle fans it seems like Houdini and Stoner Witch is all they know. I heard people outside the venue saying as much ",I only recognized like two songs but damn that Honey Bucket was amazing"

I've never been standing there watching "Honey Bucket" being played and gotten bored personally. "Night Goat" on the other hand I don't need to keep hearing unless they do something with it like guest musicians or interpolate some cover song into it or something.
