Alive At The Fucker Club

[GrimReaper]

I want the Melvins to commemorate their trip to Australia with another live release, only longer than Alive at the Fucker Club.

The bloody dear on the cover has always raised a few questions..

Did the Melvins run into a dear while on tour in Australia? Or where they on highway 79 in West Virginia?

Are there wild deer all over the place in Australia?

Also, what is up with the naked woman with Tasmania covering her pelvic region? Is this an indigenous female?

Is there a venue called the Fucker?

The concert as recorded for Alive at the Fucker Club great, and the story Buzz tells of calling his mother is hilarious.

At any rate, this is my dream: a live release to document the 2003 Australia tour.

And one more thing, no Patton

[The Chalupa]

they need a really good live album,  maybe a compilation of live stuff from one tour

[Lazerman]

Thats a dead kangaroo on the cover,
and not surprisingly, there's thousands of
them in Australia.  

[Dave]

The story about calling his mom is funny...


I've always wondered though...

What does he say at the very end of that?... the crowd says it along with him, but I cant ever make out what they are saying...

Im assuming since the crowd says it along with him that this is something famous...so someone here must know...

It's annoyed me for a while.

On the back cover there's an angel. Does anyone have Alive at the Fucker Club besides Dave and the Reaper?

The angel is, what apears to me anyway, to be a four legged creature. I have alway perceived this to be the spiritual representation of the dead animal photographed on the cover. Lazer, all I can identify is Seattle road kill. That is mostly opossum and domestic animals. Fuck, it looked like beagle season on the roads last week in Seattle.

I cannot identify the car on the back either though.

When I started this tread I wanted to discuss this release. The Australian Melvins Brotherhood (AMB) must know the answers to some of our questions.

Hasen't anyone seen the large female on the inside of the c/d jacket? What about "Special thanks to the Cosmic Psychos and Craig from Swiveldisc". What is this all about?

Anyway Chalupa is absolutely right, we need a live release again to drink Pacifico beer to.

the only kangaroos i've seen are in a zoo or down the lens of a rifle. i've never seen one just wandering around the streets. even less chance of seeing a deer.
the map of tasmania is exactly that. it also happens to perfectly fit the pelvic region, so we should all move there.
cosmic psychos are a pretty good band, they invited the melvins out for that tour. i think melvins brought them to the U.S as well.

[spud boy]

No there isn't wild deer everywhere and the venue is called The Corner Hotel.

Ned Kelly, the Ironclad Outlaw, the Aussie Jesse James, the man who is the inspiration for the doll on the inside cover of Alive at the Fucker Club, was featured on T.V. yesterday. Ned wore an Iron mask which is depicted on the dolls knit head.

There is shrine to Ned in Melbourne; his scull is missing. Also, Mick Jagger starred in a movie about Ned.

I had no fucken idea what the doll and Ned Kelly meant, I thought it was the guy who did the artwork for Amphetamine Reptile!

"Let that Boy Boogie Woogie."

It's a riff on John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillun." Zeppelin did the same story on the Whole Lotta Love medley on The Song Remains the Same.

they should reissue the tora tora box set! thats funny stuff

have you heard it? can you give some examples please?

[GrimReaper]

My Favorite from Tora, Tora, Tora is when this kid named Floyd calls a radio station where the Melvins are doing a radio interview. Buzz asks if his Mom is home, she is not. Then he asks if his Mom's credit card is home.

This should be a new thread, any way..........

Have you ever noticed the tension on stage between Buzz and Mark D. on Tora, Tora, Tora?
The first track is them having a petty spat before the first song, Revolve. I will transcribe it and put it in the "World According to King Buzzo".

[Eponymous]

Let's clear up a few things here:

[dr.ghira]

The whole speech ("Let that boy...") is, suprise!, completely stolen.
Just listen to old ZZ Top recordings (I think it is on Fandango) and you hear this stuff too!
