melvins

[goldpony]

the biafra stuff was good.

my favorite melvins show was when they payed with helmet at the middle east down in boston. buzzo implored the audience to break out the whiskey and ax handles because the other band (helmet) were assholes. all in good fun though

Also, if you're into the Melvins, you will probably dig Boris, a Japanese stoner/drone/doom band that takes their name from a Melvins song.

Buzzo is just a kickass dude.

The only other Japanese band that I really dig is Melt-Banana. They're this crazy Lightning Bolt-esque noise rock band that sings in Engrish.

i like the fact that most japanese bands would be looked upon as novelties or fluff here but are taken completely seriously over there. its kinda like hihi puffy ami yumi, rock stars there but would get laughed out of the building here

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

Yeah, Melt-Banana toured with Tool and now like 90% ( pulled that number out of my ass) of Americans that actually know who Melt-Banana are hate them...because they're Tool fans and Tool fans are for the most part, fucking stupid.

kinda like dir en grey and the deftones. for all the people that talked shit about them on the tour, i felt they were the superior opening act compared to fall of troy.

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

I thought they were utter shit.

[goldpony]

i didn't mind them at all, they were loud and noisy and the set i saw was pretty good. i'm not saying i'll buy their albums but i did feel they were better than most people thought. i just didn't care for the marilyn manson esque look and stage show they put on

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

Honestly I wasn't even listening. I saw the singer and then tuned out.

I thought Fall of Troy were alright though. They're from here and I had heard good things. Musically they were pretty impressive, but the vocals ruined it for me.

I wasn't even all that impressed with the 'tones. I just don't like big venue shows in general.

[goldpony]

where did you see them at? most of the venues weren't that big. when i saw them, they played at local club, it had pretty good capacity but was really intimate too. i was even on the balcony for the whole show and felt like i was right on top of the stage

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

Quest Field Events Center.

The space was a lot bigger than it needed to be though.

[goldpony]

ah, yes i agree the tones are definitely a club band

In what should be a surprise to few, the Melvins have plans to release a new album in 2008.

Just saw the Melvins last month for like the 10th time. If you like them, then check out Big Business.

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

Oh god, I love Big Business. I saw them with a band called Minsk and was blown away by both bands.

[goldpony]

you would like melvins latest album. BB "joined" the band and recorded an entire album with them. 2 drum sets *drool*

[Deadradio]

I have been trying to find the 1st BB record. Anyone have a good source?

[Necrocetaceanbeastiality]

My mom bought it at some out of town record store.
