Melvins/Down tour[views:7574][posts:95][show listing] __________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 10:36am - oscarct ""] I hope there is a show in the area. During a recent chat with NME TV, DOWN drummer Jimmy Bower revealed that the band will tour select U.S. markets with the MELVINS in August/September. The group will then return to the studio from October through December to record what will eventually become the fourth DOWN album, tentatively due in early 2010. |

| __________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 10:38am - RustyPS ""] the Melvins were unbelievable when I saw them in May...I hope this comes here |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 10:46am - largefreakatzero ""] I don't get either of these bands. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 11:20am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i know very little about the melvins other being supposedly very influencial. Down i would love to see again though. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 11:42am - dreadkill ""] the most recent down album was crap |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 11:53am - xitsdoomsdayx ""] true that ^^ |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 11:54am - xitsdoomsdayx ""] They should have kept to a once every 7 years thing still.. But now there a full time band |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 1:00pm - BlackoutRick ""] No way. Down can do no wrong. You didn't like it cuz they're throwing rock into it. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 1:04pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] dreadkill said:the most recent down album was crap i dunno if it was crap... but it definitely wasnt as good as the first 2. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 2:42pm - oscarct ""] I thought 3 was better then 2. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 2:49pm - dreadkill ""] BlackoutRick said:No way. Down can do no wrong. You didn't like it cuz they're throwing rock into it.wrong. i like rock and they've incorporated rock into all 3 albums, so throwing rock into it would be nothing new for them. aside from a few songs, the third album is boring and has uninspired songwriting. that's why i don't like it. i love the first 2. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 2:53pm - Dr. Sphincto ""] i checked the house of blues boston page and this is coming to boston |

| ___________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 3:07pm - MikeofDecrepitude ""] Nola was a monster of an album. Visceral, honest, and the riffs... oh my, the riffs. That album paints an accurate portrait of New Orleans and the Louisiana backwoods. Such a maelstrom of clashing emotions. Depressive, violent, narcotic, and vengeful. People will bash it because Phil is on the album, but his vocal performance was unquestionably powerful. Oh, and early Melvins rule. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 4:21pm - madoakdevin nli ""] mike wanna go to this? i dooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 4:47pm - xitsdoomsdayx ""] Nola was amazing Down 2 was amazing... Funny fact here, is down 2 was recorded in 15 days in the swamp lands of louisiana, came out fucken amazing... Down 3 took about a year if not longer and came out like franklly shit... I remember seeing them when down 2 came out... and i seen them at the old lupos on westminister... What a fucken night, it was called "an evening with down". They had about an hour and a half movie of old school thrash and metal as the opener... Then they came on.. and played almost eveything from both albums.. Set ran about 2 and a half hours.. Now that right there was the fucken ripe time of down... |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 5:06pm - goatcatalystnli ""] anyone have a link to the original demo tape? i heard it rules... would like to hear it |
| _____________________________ [Jun 24,2009 6:24pm - pam ""] I don't listen to the newer ones much but Down are amazing live, every fucking time. Can't wait. Be cool to see The Melvins, too. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 6:27pm - goatcatalystnli ""] way to not post the demo i asked for, pam. ugh. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 7:45pm - Dankill ""] WANT |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 7:50pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] I'd go if I could guarantee that I wouldn't have to see Down. |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 13,2009 4:24pm - boblovesmusic ""] If people want to see Evil Army, my recommendation is to get there at 7 or earlier. I have a feeling the HOB is going to pull another "Start show before actual show time" thing again... |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 12:05am - xanonymousx ""] meeting at work prevented me from going to see weedeater. |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 1:37am - FuckIsMySignature ""] another great Down show. holy shit is all i gotta say. there was a cool jam at the end of Bury Me in Smoke which involved each band member switching their instruments over to their guitar techs without skipping a beat. ... oh and why the fuck havent i been listening to the Melvins all this time? |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 1:06pm - W3 nli ""] cool show but i thought down was too quiet, at least from where i was standing and the melvin awesome. WEEDEATER - AMAZING. |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 1:16pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] W3%20nli said:cool show but i thought down was too quiet.. agreed...but i've thought that about every HOB i've seen so far. i think i just have hearing damage. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 1:20pm - W3 nli ""] naw cause i was standing in the same spot i did for motorhead and i thought they sounded fucking huge. the gtrs were way pushed back, phil's vox way out front and the bass/kickdrum were overloading. not a solid sound, but still fun seeing down. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 1:22pm - boblovesmusic ""] I wasn't feeling Down on this one. Might've been me being tired, but I wasn't impressed. I was expecting much more from them. The Melvins however were incredible and I'm kicking myself for not seeing them earlier! |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 1:25pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ya i was half asleep from a longass weekend so i was up in the balcony. good show but def nowhere near the caliber perfomance of the palladium show a couple years back. also did not appreciate the anti-worcester rhetoric from phil. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 14,2009 1:29pm - boblovesmusic ""] Phil kinda bugged me. Swearing doesn't bother me, but when it's every other word and used to sound like a tough guy, it gets old very fast. |
