Melvins POD Tour, Showbox Seattle 18 Sept.

[Billy Fish]

I find that beating people with blunt objects is the best medicin.
But Im often laughing while doing it, so maybe laughter IS the best medicine.

You crack me up Glen, I think if I ever drank with you I would shit myself laughing.

I'm alot more exciting on paper.

[Like Stee]

I too am lamenting the loss of slide bass and distorted effects-laden noise.
Jared doesnt play slide bass, and his 'noise' is different to the noise Rutmanis made,
It's heavier and more bottom than 'whatever that other guy may have played'
maybe thats why they haven't attempted any of that material yet.

they don't pull out much of the Mark D era stuff either, except a couple classic songs

Yeah, all the slide bass on Dr. Geek might be a bit out of Jared's league.  That song would be so intense though with two drummers.  This show was definitely one of the best I can remember in a while.  I doubt if I'll ever see another show that could top the Hell's Kitchen show in Tacoma on the HAT tour though.  The combination of that being such a tiny venue and the material that was played (they played almost the entire album, including The Anti-Vermin Seed) was fantastic.  Did anyone notice the other night that they threw in the drum outro from Black Stooges at the end of Civilized Worm?  I guess if that's all the HAT fix I get, I'll take it.  Hopefully in time Jared can pick up some slide bass tactics, and in time they'll recover from the heartbreak.  Still, a Melvins show with no Kevin or Mark D. era material is still better than any non-Melvins show...  Has anyone heard what Kevin Rutmanis is up to now that he's not in the Melvins or Tomahawk?

Oh wait Dudbean, I bet you were the guy leaning in to take photos of Buzz next to me.  When I bought my poster the same guy showed me the one with a swastika drawn on it and said "I looked through this pile already and these are the only unique ones left."

If that was you then yeah, I suppose we did meet!   

That was ME!!

Fuck.  I'm watching the dvd....and I realized I did a "Whoooooo!" after It's Shoved.  How embarrasing

Where can I get my hands on said DVD? I got about 45 minutes of video from my sony cyber shot. I was right in the pit and got angles from both sides of the stage and from the bar on stage left in the back. The footage is very raw, I left it recording even when I was walking around. I'll put some of it on youtube, but it sucks I have to cut it up into 10 minute increments.. Alright guys & gals.. TA for now...

[AaronNi]

Well it was nice meeting you... Lousif?   

Also, that video of Big Business you posted on Youtube was done with a Sony Cybershot?!  I'm surprised the audio isnt overloaded, this makes me happy that I have a W100 model coming in the mail, I'll be able to record bands now!

I joined this forum after the melvins 20th anniversary show with mudhoney. I thought I left a few comments about that show.. maybe they got deleted? I don't really use forums alot. I came back to read everyone's comments and shit.

Yep, its a nice camera. It survived being in the melvins mosh pit without a scratch. It helps to have a big memory card. I could have gotten around 2 1/2 hours of video with a 2gb and a 1gb mem card.

Buzzo looks pissed at me!
