40th anniversary tour

[Alex-]

It is a killer setlist for sure. Good for them to celebrate the 40 anniversary like this, it reads explosive, and I think this set will convince folks that see them for the first time.
Personally, I think 'Snake Appeal' is the only one (besides the 2 from bad mood) that I have not witnessed live yet. I was hoping for one from Honky (my all time favourite) and one from HAT (first tour I saw them), but no complaints really. 3 more weeks and it's on!

Cool you went to the UK buddy! How many more times will you see them this tour? I have tickets for both dutch shows. Besides from the residency shows this might actually be my favorite setlist I will be seeing them perform.

I was not in the UK. I will catch them in Zurich only.

[))))((((]

That is kind of perfect.

I suppose it depends what you like to see. Personally if one could choose such things, i would pick a VERY different set. I'd probably ditch virtually all the songs and add the entirety of HAT and The Maggot. I do feel that The Beatles cover here doesn't hold weight though. I'm not a fan of that one. It feels very awkward in the setlist to me.

[Helen83]

It's got Zodiac, Copache, Let It All Be, Honey Bucket, Revolve, Night Goat & Boris......that my friend is perfect and everything else is a bonus.

Ian are you going to see them live?

Ian are you going to see them live?

I was going to. I was all absolutely set on doing so. But then getting the tickets required some stupid mobile app and as you can guess i don't have access to, nor desire to engage with things like that. So unfortunately that was that. No smart phone no gig! I feel bad about that. I really SHOULD have gone and i'll probably regret it but i'm not backing down on cellphones for ANYTHING.

Whoa! Do you not have a cell phone? That is cool as fuck. And I am not joking.

You still GO...then you wait around outside and ask people who might have an extra ticket, failing that, try to get put on the guest list if you can find any of the road crew or band members. You have to talk to people.

..failing that, you sneak in...etc.

You might not think it would work, it's always a long shot... something usually works out.

Well, i don't know if it's cool or not but yeah it's true. More and more these days it's a pain in the ass.

I thought about those things but knowing me it wouldn't pay off and i'd have travelled there for nothing. I guess it is worth a shot but i'm not very prone to things like that.

You might think the Beatles cover is out of place looking at the setlist. But I guarantee you that sludgy breakdown of the turnaround completely fucking owns the room every time they do it. It's interesting on the album, but in the moment, with people there who know 1.5 Melvins songs and are hearing "Hold Your Hand" for the first time, it's a complete mindfuck. Remember, it's loud. It's the Matrix. The first one, before it became a shitty rehash of itself. Time slows to a crawl, ad you can look around the room and see the bartender think someone spiked his drink. The metal dude's girlfriend drops her phone. The roof suddenly stops breathing and the room takes a big inhale.

Then that chug chug chug chug duttaduttadutta kicks in and it's a satanic chihuahua biting a guy's dick right in front of you. It's awesome.

Ian, you must go see the Melvins.

And Ween, you must go see Ween at some point.

But you must see the Melvins live.

What's the merch stall been like?

And for anyone heading to Manchester on Sunday night there's been a change of venue. It will now be at The Bread Shed.
