glen, was that you that grabbed my shoulder after the show?????
i was wasted and delirious at that point i didnt realize what was going on....i was wearing my dwarves 'teach your children to worship satan' shirt and you were like the third person to yell something about the dwarves to me....it wasn't until i got halfway down the stairs that i was like 'that guy just said blag jesus himself, not just blag jesus, he must have been from the board'. anyways, don't think i'm an asshole is what i'm sayin
i got right up front, as always.....i never understood people who go to shows and sit down at tables....
anyways, the show was pretty good.....porn were average i suppose....seemed like they tok 30 seconds from a kyuss song and repeated it for 8 minutes for each song, so it was entertaining, but not great. dale was in his elvis getup.....looked like late period, fried banana sandwich elvis, with his gut sticking out.
ghostigital was really good, i asked the singer where bjork was at (he was in the sugarcubes with her) and he must have thought i was heckling him cuz he looked pissed, paused for a few seconds, shook his head and then started the set. i shook his hand afterwards and told him they were great ,cuz they were getting about 90% boos. he told everyone to buy their cd, and i said i already have it (i do) and he was like 'well buy it for her', pointing to my girlfriend...(i didn't).
big business was good, especially on the songs i recognized. when they came out, buzz jr kind of mimed some generic pre-show stage banter like 'are you ready to partyyyyy', stuff like that, then the began the slow evolution into the melvins, with them palying a few songs and then dale coming out and eventually buzz.
the melvins were great, played the exact same set that's been posted here, except for the mechanical bride. buzz dropped his pick at one point and some kid up front tried to give it back to him but he already got a new one, so the douchebag just throws it on the ground....luckily my girlfriend saw this and grabbed the pick for me, as i had no idea what was going on
the new songs were definitely the highlight, as i had seen most of the other songs before, though everything sounded better with the double drums, especially the bit and lovely butterflies. i bought a poster and left.
