Do the Melvins make you dance a Jig?

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

 
I was watching old (well not that old 2003) clips of the melvins, and theres a chap dancing a jig in a yellow polo shirt.  Hell yeah! 5:32 ***

It's funny, back then I remember thinking how much greater it would be to see something like Lysol played live, and now looking  back I think how great it would be to see a 2003 set again.  The grass is greener disease!

thats you ain't it!!

  I like how people cleared a path from him at the front.  "Geez, I hate these golfers that come to the shows and dance jigs next to me!"

There was a guy dancing a jig at the last show I went to, he was pissing us off because he kept
running into us I think his g/f was annoyed with him too, my g/f would shove him anytime
he got near us. As soon as the drum beat kicked in for It's Shoved, off he went.

[jakepositive]

everytime i have seen them, there is one dude that always shouts really loud behind me. maybe he goes to all the NY shows too, but he always ends up behind me.  fucked up.

[bathroom creep]

When I saw them last year there were a couple of guys (I think some girls between them too) that were dancing around behind me with their eyes all closed and stuff.  Everytime I turned around to see who was leaning against me I saw them dancing around as if they were in a trance or something..     that was pretty weird actually.

[norecess]

Oh man, I often pretty much always get stoned, close my eyes, space away and god knows what it looks like, then when I think I'm almost falling, I 'wake up'.

[bathroom creep]

ha, they didn't seem stoned, their spacy dancing looked rather 'forced', as if they thought that the Melvins show was in fact a big dancing party or something ... i mean, they looked obsessed... 
ah whatever, i don't know what the hell I'm talking about, i just didn't want them to lean against me through the whole gig.

Oh man, you've got to go to a holy rollers sermon sometime.  They use snakes, close their eyes (like you described), and mumble in gibberish.  Its a human freak show!

When I saw the show at the Henry Fonda in LA a couple of years ago, there was a couple in front of me doing some sort of interpretive dance.  Awful and distracting.

im waiting for a big melvins/DSS colaboration and tour. ive seen him play bass for the melvins a couple of times, and by golly its cool.

[dijk cheese]

i happened to catch the melvins play munich last year.

throughout the porn and big business set i had myself a perfect position, a few meters back from the stage, a good view and in nice range of the FOH rig. Seeing the same show a couple of times already in other cities, hence knowing that the remainder of the melvins enter during "another fourth of july...". i decided to nip to the bar to grab me a beer a while into bb's set.

unfortunately by the time i got my beer, the familiar kicks for "another..." had started. buzz n dale were onstage and the crowd had surged forwards, filling all the gaps. I'm  a resepecful guy in a crowd, so theres no way im pushing my way back in. so there i am, annoyed, stuck at the back, but all was not lost as i had a fresh beer, and i do like german beer.

so that's the cue for this nutcase.
who's come flying past, fearlessly seperating people whilst screaming something back at me, or so it feels. I barely understand german and ive never seen this guy in my life. but i followed him regardless, stepping over bodies as he ripped through the crowd until i found myself a good position where our friendship ended. five seconds later this guy is on the stage , reminiscent of scenes from "salad..".

Anyway a few tracks in, a few more returns to the stage for my man and the crowd is going absolutely mental, in fact fact ive never seen more rawkus melvins fans.
During Oven things are so out of hand buzz cuts the track and bellows ...
"cut it out, stop hurting each other, i was sick of this shit 20 years ago"
the nutcase yell's something back to which buzz responds
"why are you even talking to me?"

Oven restarts, and i was witness to scene's that David Lynch would have been happy to put his name to. for the remainder of the set, everyone (or a majority)(or at least a majority of the folk in front of me) were dancing like they had just dropped a pill at a cheesey disco-house party. Ive never seen anything like it, well i have, but at cheesy disco-house party. but to the melvins!  surreal. I was inquisitive to see how european crowds reacted towards the melvins and i had the pleasure of witnessing two extremes.

so yes, ive seen many dance a jig to the melvins.

missionary baptists are just as bad, minus the snakes.
