WAS FUCKING AMAZING



They start off inside and I had no idea what to expect.  They're on the floor with a huge crowd around them.  I figured there'd be no way to film.  I started filming anyway and held the camera way above my head.  Less than two minutes later, the band came to me.  Fucking singer is everywhere.  Drums flying around in the crowd.  Singer standing on the bass drum while it's being held up by the crowd.  Singer hanging off rafters.  Singer on the handrail.  Singers ballsac hanging out of his Richard Simmons shorts.  Fucking Nuts!  Literally!

Afte 20 minutes inside, the crowd tore apart the drums and took them outside.  Guitar player kept playing.  Crowd is like "Wtf?"  I keep rolling film and go outside and the drums are setup outside and the singer is back on top of the bass drum on top of the crowd.  Big dive and surf.  Then he tells everyone to sit down.  Everyone does.  Hundreds of people, even people who were'nt in the show st down.  Then a guard comes over and says no more.  Crowd boo's, some dude tackles the security guard and they go down.  Everyone laughs.  The tackler laughs and the security guard laughs!  Singer thanks everyone, show over.

YES! I'm glad you got to see them; I've heard nothing but great things about that band.  I can't believe the security guard laughed after being tackled, that's bizarre.

oops, fucked up the post and got it fixed, plus pic.....

Anyway, everyone has to go see them.   Whenever they play near you, go.  You won't be dissapointed.

tell me about it. I missed them last month here in nashville.

Melvins set was a bit different tonight.  Instead of finishing with History of Bad Men and the SSB after the ASA trilogy, they ent into My Generation, then Boris.  Heaviest Boris I've seen yet.  Finished with Jared in the crowd screaming nonsense for 5 minutes, then he and Buzz doing a quiet Okie from Muskogee duet while Dale danced on his drum stool.  Unfortunatley, my camera batt died right after Boris was over.

Melvins soundchecked with Mastadon before Mastadon's set.  The Bit.  Three drummers, 2 guitarist, one bass.

Then they played it at the end of Mastadon's set.  Heavy as hell and awesome.

Well, I'm resting until Double Negative.  Walsby and the guys are letting me ride with them to the airport in their taxi.  So at least that's one worry out of the way for getting home

Is Double Negative the last set you'll be seeing, Idle?

[Idlehanz]

Yea, just got back from them.  They cut the set short.  I believe due to sound problems.  Lot's of feedback.  You could see they were very annoyed with it.

[Idlehanz]

Butthole Surfers--I love this pic.

Melvins/Mastadon--Dales drums on left, Coady on right.  Hard to see em

Dude shook Buzz's hand then almost hit him in the face with the headstock of his guitar

There's no doubt tht this was the best concert experience I've ever had.  And I'm sorry that others couldn't come.  I wish we all could have met at a place like this.  Really.  I'm not trying to be an ass and be all like look at my pics n shit.  I hope most are at least interested in what happened.   

And on that note...a few more pics

Monotonix again, when he got everyone to sit down.  Well, most everyone.  Some got back up.
