TIM MOSS Appreciation Thread

[Mad Arab]

I like when he beats up assholes in the pit.

Has he actually done this?

Not a full beatdown, more like a brisk exit to the door by the collar of your shirt. You'll see it happen if someone starts throwing crap at the melvins.

I would like to see Buzz himself maul some jerk who throws something at him. I am kidding of course but I think the sight would be pretty humorous. Kind of off topic but I become real bothered whenever I am at a show I want to watch and some mosher runs into me when I am clearly trying to stay out of the middle of the floor and more to the right or left side. I go to a Melvins show because it is a sight to behold, I am not there to mosh. If you want to mosh, go to a Slipknot show. I tend to become a little physical with moshers who run into me smelling like beer and flashing their little horned devil signs and it has cracked up some of the people who I am with when I do it. I mean show some respect.

I've seen Buzz stiffly leg kick some stage jumper in the ass while not breaking a stride playing a guitar, and say something like 'get the fuck off the stage'.. great stuff.

Joe Preston took no flak either. I personally have had no interaction with Tim Moss. There is another fellow that helps set the stage for the Melvins that I have had interaction with. I don't know if it is Jeff Thomas. All I know is that we talked a little bit about the show and he gave me the setlist, which was cool.

Tim Moss is one cool mutha. The first time I met him was in San Antonio, TX during SXSW week back in the mid 90's. Him and his band came down to S.A. to play a show at WACKY's. Anyway, He was at the bar with his band and I greeted him with "welcome to S.A. and so on and so forth." I asked him if he wanted a beer and he said yes. I then told him how about a LONE STAR. Then he told me he hated fuckin LONES STAR and will never drink that fuckin beer. I didn't get offended or anything so I got him a Bud instead (his favorite beer I found out from him years later). As the years went on and everytime I would see him, I would offer him a Lone Star Beer and he'll just give me that "get the fuck out of here look." HAHAHA! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I present THEE TIM MOSS.


How about posting your Moss stories about the almighty MELVINS tour manager. I for one always appreciate his wonderful hospitality at the shows, he is cool as hell AND; plays a mean guitar through an ORANGE amp stack if you've ever seen him with Men of Porn. Anyway, my favorite story is when I first met him I was drunk as hell at the MELVINS 20th show at the Capitol Theater in Olympia, WA. I was a bit loopy and kept calling him "Frank" instead of Tim. I think since he had such a huge beard maybe I thought he was Frank Beard of ZZ Top. Or maybe I thought he was "Frank Bank". I wasn't a dick or anything, but the cool thing was, he could have easily brushed me off as a drunken fool; but he was a great host and has always said hi at every show since. He's damn near as busy as Crover before every gig but if you see him, say hi. Just don't touch the beard.............

This show Smellis is talking about had the worst fight on stage at a Melvins concert I have ever seen.

I can't remember if Tim tried to get the guy off stage or not, but Buzz stopped playing right in the middle of a song and said he didn't want anybody to get hurt.

[Smellis]

Truth be told Grim, I helped that guy out the side door. I was back stage to Crover's left standing right by the sound guy. Some dude jumped on stage and started fighting with security and knocking shit over. The MELVINS stopped in the middle of their song and security finally grabbed the guy and started running him back towards me. Like I said, I was into the Jagermeister and was thinking "damn bastard ain't gonna' ruin my MELVINS!" I opened the side door, got ready for them and helped give him an extra boost of speed as security booted him out into the alley. The MELVINS resumed playing and it was the sweetest show ever. The MELVINS were really playing as hard as they could that night I think it was a special gig for them.

Yeah, big up's to Tim Moss!

The last time I saw him, he was handling the High on Fire tour (one of the last few Preston-era shows). I happened to be rocking the Men of Porn t-shirt, and I had to ask him if he'd ever have Matt Pike be a Men of Porn. He smiled his wicked grin and said, "No way man, that guy's way too much of a dirt bag."

haha !! last time that i saw Moss here was funny !!
you can hear Moss testing the microphone and telling :

" Gay, Trevor Gay,Gay...oh Trevor , you here? aaahhhh.... gay "

haha was funny !!!

[EGO the Living Planet]

Tim Moss is a gentleman and a scholar, a prince among men (of Porn).

I've spoken tro him a number of times at MELVINS/Fantomas/Tomahawk/Peeping Tom shows and has always been incredibly cool and taken the time to chat for a few minutes even though he's always busy as hell. The last time the MELVINS came through Detroit he introduced me to Dale.   

Plus Porn is a great band who deserve tons of love!

LONG LIVE TIM MOSS!!!

[GrimReaper]

Yes that is Moss and his glorious beard.

The first time I met Moss, his beard reached out and shook my hand.

Once, I saw a baby seal freezing in the ocean, and Moss used his beard to warm it up, saving its life.

Moss' beard; the only person, place, or thing in the universe that Chuck Norris fears to the very core of his hairy, christian ninja soul.
