Any Shows of Melvins w BigBusiness - what do you think ?

I thought it was fantastic. I have seen better, but not many. It's pretty hard to top the collection of heavyosity and talent amassed on that stage.

Still, there were times when I wished I could've just seen a Big Business set followed by a Melvins set. Not many, but there were a few moments when I wanted the unadulterated experience of both bands.

I would kill some of you just to see them live

i probably haven't seen as many shows as most of you, never saw Jesus Lizard, but this was one of the best shows i've ever seen. to be in buzzo and jared's presence was an honor and pleasure. two drummers. total madness. so much fun.

Sorry to gloat, but we got BB followed by Melvins in London Town next Tuesday...

Best show I've ever seen. The drummer from Big Business probably played a good three hours straight.

Just saw this last friday and, while I am not a big Melvins fan per se, it was an absolutely top notch rock show. Just absolutely top notch. There is nothing under the sun quite like watching a really good drummer going haywire for a solid few hours and, in this case, you get two (really good drummers, that is).

Highly recommended.

I second this. the melvins will never disappoint you. seeing these two guys playing drums was alone worth driving 3 hours.

While the new line-up is great (Karp guy + Melvins = True Maximum Heaviosity), a Melvins show in 2001 with David Scott Stone on guitar + Queen cover (Now I'm Here) = best Melvins show I have seen (out of 9 or 10 going back to 1989).

good times.
