The Melvan

[glen]

smell,  like I said:  your my hero.         I bet your one of the few cling-ons from the EARLY days who still has any interest or connection today.   
I swear to GOD (donny baker anyone?)  your fuckin COOL as SHIT.

(fucking grew up down the street from dale crover,  ........  how cool is that?)

Glen, I know. Back in the day he was just a regular guy I went to school with, and he is still just a regular guy now. He just has a job that beats the shit out of mine. He has worked his ass off to get where he is, and I have to give him credit. I don't take for granted a moment of the high school days. But, it just wasn't the Melvins, it was the whole thing back then in Aberdeen. I probably should have carried their gear around and just went touring like a motherfucker in the Melvan. On the other hand, I wouldn't have my two kids and I can't live without them now. life's good, it all works out. The Melvins are still making new music and touring, and I never miss them when they come to town. Buzz and Dale haven't changed a bit after all their success. Big Biz is coming to town here on 12/18 and I'll be there. I'm looking forward to the next chapter, What the hell kind of circus will a tandem drum set be? Jebus Christo the next tour is going to kick major Melvin ass.

Tomight I was drinking with Dillard's cousin and he said that he played bass before Lukin. He said that Buzz only played 4 chords and that was it. He was talking about how Buzzo was barely even plinking on the guitar and he was just fucking around on the bass and Buzz was just learning. My friend thinks it's funny and I told him that he is a legend because he is the first Melvins bassist!!!

This is the best thread since a long time. Keep it coming, Smellis!

[glen]

hey smell,   do dale and buzz still remember you?  do you ever track them down for a "hello" and "remember when" when they come around town?

[Smellis]

UMMM, yeah, everytime they come around here I make it a point to speak with them for old times' sake. They are cool as hell.

Been gone for a while, but anyway, I learned that the Melvan probably took them around the country thru 86' or so.  I'll try to get some more info on it soon.  My buddy got it from Lukins parents after he left.  He still has the registration with Lukins name on it.

This thread is so cool. I just read it again and all those stories about the early days are just plain awesome. More anecdotes please!

[Smellis]

Smellis,

You must get a picture of this dude and get him in the morgue!!

Oh yeah, I forgot that I have a homework assignment. I'll see if he wants his picture posted in there.

[norecess]

Smellis, we need this picture!
