I also remember how right after the Eyehategod finished playing Jimmy Bower told the crowd to go see Melvins and started the whole crowd chanting Melvins... my buddy turned to me like 'I didn't know he's in Melvins as well' and I was like 'he's not, he just loves em'.. He couldn't believe a guy would literally stop the crowd still cheering for his band and tell them to go see another band :)

This band is proof that you don't need pyrotechnics, dancers and special effects to make an incredible show. The best bands that I've seen live are those that impress through their musical skills, showmanship, energy and atmosphere and Melvins is one of them.

I don't know if people realize just how tight the drummers are together. Amazig.

By appearing "weird" or funny in their appearance and in their album covers/song titles, they can make it easy to underestimate them...that is until you see them live. Not that I ever underestimated them, or didn't take them seriously but... I saw them with this line up and it was like being a deer caught in the headlights. Brutally loud and very powerful. The moment they hit the first note of Dog Island it wasn't "funny" anymore. It was awe inspiring.

In the early 90s they played a lot in Seattle and me and my friends would make it a religious experience. We dosed on DXM and got in the Melvins pit for the best moshing of heavy metal love brotherhood. Dudes rocking out to the heaviness on stage while tripping balls. Wowza, I do not recommend trying to duplicate it. It happened and now I can talk about it but nobody spoke of it to anyone but in our circles. I saw Christ Noveselic at a Melvins show walking around alone with a shot of Jaeger in his hand. This was before Nirvana blew up and they were just another garage band. Christ was cool and tall as fu** He stood out among the crowd. Kurt didn't go to shows, he was kind of famous in Seattle and he didn't like it. But the other guys partied with us all the time. Chris Cornell, Layne Staley They would hang out and have drinks with everyone after their shows. Gruntruck was always a great band to jam to they played all over the place with all the other Seattle bands and Tad too. Very friendly dudes. They would play a set and then have a beer with you and talk about sports and shit. It was nice man. Then MTV fudged it all up. And Mudhoney got little run they deserved. Matt Lukin, the bass player had business cards he would pass out that read, Matt Lukin, Bass Player. He's a nice guy, buy him a beer.. and He would hand them out at shows. It was awesome back then.

I’m pretty sure the MELVINS kicked every other band’s ass that night.

Melvins arena rock show tour must happen. They're in their element in intimate venues but to craft this into an arena rock event would be epicness on the scale of the Melvins. It must happen to America. Sold out, mass promotion, blown away minds, media hype and frenzy across the nation. Not too many openers but still, call it Melvinsfest. Have local bands be the openers, the Melvins come out and kill. Leaving jaws on the floor. Mass volume. World record decibles and heaviness. Feel the heaviness from the venue out through the parking lot into the surrounding environment. Melvins are coming to your town. get the popcorn and feel what they bring.
