TWINS OF EVIL tour!

[black stallion]

Coady is a MONSTER drummer, saw a couple of videos..you can totally feel it's not Dale playing, it's normal,  but it works great. had no doubt about that obviously

[PepsiMike]

Agreed, the videos I've seen so far are outstanding.

[whiney]

lots of rare smiles from buzz.

OK, I didn't just imagine this then...

I guess we'll see if both bands actually do their full albums as Boris seems to have omitted Rattlesnake in favor of Dronevil.

I feel that's a low-key trend with a lot of bands. Announce youre doing a full album...And not do the full album. Seen it with quite a few acts. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Weedeater, Max Cavalera, the list can go on.

Isn't Dronevil on Heavy Rocks?

It originally appeared on the Mangrove 2002 compilation and was listed as an outtake. The Third Man reissue has a slightly revised tracklist, with Rattlesnake coming after 1970 instead of the middle of the album.

@melvinsdotcom tour has begun. Did not think this would be my reality 5 days ago. Over the years @drcrover has been my inspiration, my teacher, my hero, my bandmate and my friend. He casts a big shadow and I'd like to thank him for his words of encouragement in taking this on. I know we all wish him a speedy recovery and a return to full strength! Thanks @realkingbuzzo for his vote of confidence in asking me to do this job. Buzz and @stevenmcdonald have been absolute champions putting in hours with me getting me up to speed and keeping the vibe as positive as possible under the circumstances. A very special thank you to the LA crowd that showed up last night. So much energy and support was felt by the band! Last, thanks to all the good folks at @dwdrums @paistecymbals and @remopercussion for outfitting me for this run with lightning speed!! I've been getting lots of notes of encouragement- they have been received and I'm so grateful. Can't wait to see you all in the coming weeks! -coady

[))))((((]

He's a good guy that Coady Willis.

[FartLips]

If you're a fan of the Cheapy CDs, you are in luck!

Kind of sucks not to have those Dale backing vocals, but no real complaints about Coady's drumming. Real beastly presence. Incredibly fast version of "Honey Bucket."

did Coady do any vocals?

I do not think so

yeah he did. he had the same headset as Dale. it was on the later tours.

Looks like Dale had that bad news a few days before of the tour start

[homeless_dad]

Tonight at the show, Steve gave a brief update on Dale and said that he was at home resting. I guess he had the surgery?? Maybe Steve was a little too brief.

My brief recap...It was a good show. Coady filled in as best he could but honestly, it felt slightly off without Dale. Not surprising. I imagine he and Buzz have an extra sense between the 2 that is impossible to duplicate. They played the entire Bullhead album except If I had an Exorcism. The highlight was Steve. What a showman!! At one point he and Buzz seemed to be playfully stalking each other. There's good chemistry between the 2. I brought my daughter with me for her 1st Melvins gig. She had a great time. So, that was memorable for me. Got some good merch and a nice bloke running the booth. A big card that read 'We love you Dale' which was signed by the audience was given to Steve to give to Dale. Pretty sweet that someone thought to do that.

[homeless_dad]

you can totally feel it's not Dale playing

Yes. Which made the gig feel slightly off. Not something the casual listener would notice.

[black stallion]

What a weird choice to not play if i had an exorcism...on a related note, did Coady play the drum solo at the end of Cow?

[))))((((]

did Coady play the drum solo at the end of Cow?

I was wondering how that would be too. I always thought it was funny the first time Dale played the Evil New War God solo on his own instead of the back and forth. It would be interesting to see Coady do it on his own now.

[homeless_dad]

did Coady play the drum solo at the end of Cow?

He did and he put everything he had into it.

On a side note, does this guy age?? It looks like he's been 24 years old for the last 20 years. 

[))))((((]

Here's a clip of it! Coady's floppy fringe is a bit weird to get used to seeing. Also i wonder what he makes of Steven's Jared impression on A History Of Bad Men.
