The return of Coady Willis (?)

[))))((((]

A few weeks ago i put a comment on the Coady insta page..something in the line of, cannot wait to see you back in the Melvins.he replied as always ,being a super nice guy, something like and deleted my comment. wonder if he wanted to keep it secret

Last night i listened to an old The Vinyl Guide episode with Matt Pike and Coady from when Cometh The Storm came out. The host mentioned Coady going back on tour with Melvins next year and Coady was reluctant to say anything about it. Almost trying to say it was just a rumour until the host said Buzz had mentioned it on a recent interview. Then Coady talked about it. I guess people just like to keep stuff secret until it's officially announced. But yeah we all KNOW that he's back in the band and they are doing some recording together.

That's such cool news! I've always loved the double drumming vibe they had before. I'm definitely hoping it's not just for a tour but something they'll keep around. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it's crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't, not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

We got Jared at The Unwound gig. That was super fun.

You can't truly have a MELVINS experience without Buzz and Dale. It's like Cheech and Chong. Sonny and Cher. Abbott and Costello.

When Dale had to sit out Coady was literally the only person who could do it. He filled the spot well but obviously will not do as a replacement.

Dale was on point at the Redd Kross show. He seemed healthy and doing well

Personally, I'd love another round of the foursome with the shiny dueling drums

Hopefully not as a replacement for Crover. Dale's missed the last two Melvins tours and he's going to tour with his solo band in August, not drumming obviously.

Still seems really weird the Melvins not touring to promote a new album, Melvins 1983 excluded. I wouldn't be surprised if another 1983 album happens soon as Dale won't need to drum for that either.

Dale is doing just fine. promise.

Melvins is not touring because both Buzz&Dale are busy with other stuff...Dale just did a massive US tour with Redd Kross (drumming) and is about to start a massive European tour still with RK. My guess is as the RK tour in Europe is over (November?) there will be some Melvins dates with two drummers

, and Coady is still in LA where Buzz, Dale and Steve are located as well.

 

dale lives out in the desert near palm springs now, and didn't buzz move  out of LA too?   

i saw steven at a restaurant the other night. pretty sure he's LA or the grave.

dale lives out in the desert near palm springs now, and didn't buzz move  out of LA too?

Yep he lives in Tucson, AZ now.

Toshi is still in L.A, though, right? So is Dale still involved in the studio and anything under Deaf Nephews moniker?

[))))((((]

I was wondering today how long Coady will be in the band. We all know he originally stepped in whilst Dale was recovering so it wasn't really, initially a long term planned thing. But now it feels like he is back for the foreseeable. I'll be very interested to see if Coady is still in the band after this year and these tours. It seems Buzz wants to make the most of it and do some recording with him again. So feasibly we could see quite a bit of Mr Willis for a while.

[black stallion]

good point,I think he's back in the band again. probably not a temporary thing

[acid policy]

whoa

maybe just being good about the recovery. wishing a good recuperation

love cody but there's only one dale

I saw the band Thursday. It was awesome. One of the best Melvins shows I've seen in the Steven era.

Coady is the star of the show. He is such an acrobatic performer. He and Dale work together so well. Buzz seems entirely satisfied with the duo behind him. Dale leads still, it seems, but even Dale is influenced by Coady's playing.

Also notice that they did dual drums on the EP with Matt Cameron and on Tarantula Heart. I don't think Buzz ever got over it. I think he's been pining to be a dual drummer band again for the last decade.

[acid policy]

oh, both of them. good.

The first time I saw Coady play with big Melvins, he came in, shook everyone's hand, very professional. Came across as genuinely nice.
