Taken from a post i made to themelvins.net/forum: 
reading it now many months later sorta makes me feel like an idiot, but it's the way i felt at the time so here it remains.

Begin Quote:
"holy holy holy shit.

i apologize if this entire thing is a series of short and manic sentences: 
just got home. can't hear Anything. ('cept this interesting high-pitched whirr.) wow. that was so fucking good. jared and coady's liveliness is very refreshing i think. i was so goddamn close. closer than every before. i could touch the bass drums and buzz was so in front of me that he was behind me. i might have even been backstage. 
the new songs sound totally awesome live and definitely stick out as something new in melvins-land. the old songs were better than ever before and the pit started on revolve. when it got a little rougher Jared looked down at me and i made eye contact and he kinda widened his eyes and smiled and shrugged a bit as if to say, "eh, sorry man, we're just making the most amazing noise up here and can't help if it whips (the) human animal into a primal frenzy. but i'm glad to see you are thoroughly enjoying yourself and now i'll get back to playing so you can listen" 
oh. Glen: when moss was checking out his pedals i said, "Glen says hi..." he goes, "glen, eh?" i elaborate, "the guy who made these shirts," as i tug on my shirt." he says, "OH yea. cool. yea, that's the ugliest one!" as he points to mine. i say "WHAT?!" he confirms, "no man...i'm kidding. they're beautiful. really beautiful." then Men of Porn played. yes that's right. they did. 
in all honesty, i thought they were just a Bit sloppy. dale missed a few beats and his mini-solos seemed....half-hearted maybe? to be honest again, i was slightly frightened that age was getting to him and affecting his live drumming. JESUS was i wrong! the melvins set confirmed this. 
Ghostdigital was actually really great! ...for 10 minutes. after a little while i got VERY tired of it. but for a little while i did enjoy it. 
Big Business Owned. Coady's drumming completely AWED me. he is powerful as hell and energetic and fast and really entertaining to look at. my mouth was shifting between gaping open and grinning wildly. very very talented drummer. i can't stress it enough. together they were great and Jared's voice sounds really good live. (more on this later) dale's guitar work was really enjoyable. i thought it would be weirder to see him play guitar but it wasn't. he played many a solo about 5 inches from my face. 

and the melvins. oh LORD the melvins. they started with the military-like marching beat and jabbing guitar riff (buzz's guitar was very very quiet in the beginning. it made me a little sad). as they were playing the drum-only intro the crowd started chanting USA USA USA. which i thought was VERY odd. then jared says, "this is a song about patriotism!" and they begin. and they don't fucking stop. EVER...... or so i wish. I swear i came incredibily during Talking Horse. it was surreal. the mini-houdini section sounded really good and wiggly and moving and energetic as it should have. Oven was mindblowing. there was plenty of space for fancy drum battles in between chuga-chugas, which was very cool. After this was the Senile Animal exposition, which was totally unmelviny in a fantastic way. they played the album. simple as that. it was like i put the middle of the album on and turned the volume up to 'MAKE YOUR LIFE EXPLODE' level (which i am never able to find on the dial at home....). they linked all the songs and it rocked my body body. i noticed one of the roadies watching me as i grooved and banged to every single note in sublime precision. i think he was wondering how the fuck i knew the songs inside and out. The old stuff was really intense. the crowd really started to get riled up when they began to recognize the songs and the drunker of the bunch filtered to the front to breathe and lean on me and generally be gross and violent. this was fine though because by this point i was so fucking lost in the wall of noise the i almost welcomed their churning bodies as a facilitator to my own gyrations. (???) The bit = wow. revolve = wow too. everything was great. as i was standing there i resolved to see another show on this tour. i thought that there is no possible way that i am going to wait another year or more to experience this again.
it's so entertaining to watch buzz. he is creepy as hell and he gets so wrapped up in what he is doing. you can see that so much of this is his creation. he just oozes around and makes these wild expressions and rocks the fuck out in his combat boots. i really can't even begin to comment on dale and coady. i have never experienced anything like that at all. for someone who enjoys the drums the most during melvins concerts, this treat was perfect. i don't think i could have asked for a better experience tonight. i got the feeling that this is why i live. there REALLY IS nothing better than going to a melvins concert. ...granted, it's been a little while since i've "gotten some" as they say, but i don't think even sex (which is usually considered the most enjoyable human experience, right??) can come anywhere near comparing to the heavenly bounty that was bestowed, nay, REIGNED down on me tonight. i am going to suffer some serious withdrawal when they leave the north east entirely and i know for sure that i won't see them again till next year (hopefully even then!). there is a glimmer of hope that i will travel to see them this weekend. 
a few minor complaints: maybe it was my positioning, but i the sound wasn't really clear. that is to say, i couldn't hear buzz's voice too well, the guitar sounded like a big fuzzball/muckheap, and the drums overpowered. now understand, this wasn't bad for me at all. since i knew every goddamned note in every verse chorus verse chorus solo chorus outro, i could recognize everything perfectly well, but i think uninitiated listeners would have heard a lot of incoherent noise at times. 
another thing was that the vocal harmonizing didn't sound as...harmonious in the live setting. it seemed like maybe they were a bit off at times. 
the last complaint was that there was too much crap before the melvins. not that the openers were "crap", they were fine, but anything that isn't melvins before a melvins concert just makes me anxious and slightly perturbed. i enjoyed them, but wanted them to be over. 
someone videotaped it. i gave him my email address. he told me not to put it on my website or give it to anyone IF he sends me a copy. i thought that was a little strange but i do have to honor his wishes. i hope he gets in touch with me because i think i would be in most of the shots and it would be an excellent thing to have for my own memories of highlights-of-my-life-days. i guess this would be the first one on tape so far. 
the melvins aren't a relationship. they aren't a job. they aren't a family. the melvins aren't anything like the myriad things that can make a human happy. they don't demand anything at all from you (money, perhaps?). they have the ability to elevate your pleasure higher than ANYTHING on the planet [that i've experienced], and the enjoyment is pure and unthreatened. regarding the live show, you don't have to wonder, are the melvins going to cheat on me or break up with me suddenly? are the melvins going to walk off the stage mid-Oven? a melvins [/i]concert[i] is a secure and welcoming atmosphere of divine enjoyment. 
the saddest thing that i can think of right now is that the melvins will one day be no more. even typing that sentence out saddens me. some album will be the last album and the back-catalogue will be all that we will ever have left to explore. i almost hope that i lose interest in them before that happens. i don't want to care as much as i do right now when that day comes. i wouldn't handle that well. 

for merchandise: they had tonight's poster (signed) for 15. past and future posters for 10? 5? i forget. a bunch of cd's i already own (including ASA). some gigantic t-shirts. the large-size Qee bears...maybe some other stuff that i forgot and 'other-band' stuff. if you want something, TALK TO THE MERCH GUY. i asked him about what they have as far as vinyl and he whipped out a box of stuff. a few singles 1-12 records for 40. night goat for 50. a whole shitload of h.a.t. singles (which he referred to as the "beginners" vinyls.) some other ones perhaps. there was also a copy of jello and the melvins on vinyl which was fully autographed, including Adam Jones. he said there was a 45 in the package as well. the sharpie signatures looked a bit rubbed off. he said that he would try to find out later if there was any more vinyl out in the car. he said buzz always surprises him in the vinyl box and there could be more outside. about 10 minutes after i bought a poster i looked over at the table and he had the paper wights/pins with the rotten teeth, candy corn, bugs and pills in them. i went back over and bought one of the smaller ones for 5 bucks. it's got a tooth in it and the background says melvins on top with a Skull and get this: Candy-canes -not crossbones- underneath. as i was walking out at the end i saw some people walking away with stickers, so i guess they have those in there too. i wanted one but the line was too long so i just told myself "you'll get one in Connecticut" ...haha. now i really have to go. 
so the moral of the merchandise story is, if you want something, ask the guy. he's got secret stuff back there that he doesn't show for some reason or another..... 

i don't know if there is much else to say. i already wrote a fucking novel about this night. i thought i'd post a few lines and collapse but my ever-present obsession with detail, completeness, and communication of all of my knowledge to similarly-minded people won out tonight. if i remember anything else i'll post it here in the future. 

also: took pictures (every fucking one is blurry). will post the pictures of the show and pictures of the paper weight and poster tomorrow or some time after. 

goodnight! GO SEE THIS TOUR. i sincerely apologize and feel sorry for anyone who for some reason or another cannot see the melvins on this tour. sincerely isn't even a strong enough word. it makes me sad that everyone here can't (or hasn't ever) have this experience. it also makes me think that anyone who can't see them where they live needs to get on a fucking plane and go to somewhere where they are playing. it WILL change your life. 
goodnight!"

Let these tasty nuggets of Melvins wisdom nourish your body, mind and spirit.

by Michael Alan Goldberg
http://www.philadelphiaweekly.com/view.php?id=13167

Few things in life are better than experiencing the spleen-rattling, impishly malevolent musical spectacle that is a Melvins concert. The Los Angeles-via-Seattle band has been at it for more than two decades, and judging by their amazing new A Senile Animal, they’re only getting better with time. But one thing that comes close is actually chatting with Afrotastic-coiffed Melvins singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne. He tells it like it is, and folks like Henry Rollins and Lewis Black got nothin’ on King Buzzo’s rants.

On the numerous Melvins bassists that have come and gone over the years:

“I’ve always felt if I’ve got somebody in the band I don’t like, they’re gone. History. Because nothing’s gonna stop me. We’ve been through a lot of bass players, but people should figure that out—why do they think that is? I refuse to deal with people who aren’t on the same level as us.

“I think of bands that are having troubles, it blows my mind. Why don’t they just kick that person out? ‘You don’t wanna work? We’ll make it real easy for you—you’re fired!’ I guess bands are afraid, ‘Oh, our fans won’t accept it’ or something, I dunno. I don’t have time for fuckin’ bullshit, no way.

“We’ve never had anybody quit our band—we’ve always fired them. I’m always the asshole. They tend to get along with [drummer Dale] Crover, but they hate me. I don’t care—cry me a river.

“In the case of one of our bass players, I quit worrying what he thought about me. I got to the end of a tour with him and I thought I didn’t wanna play in this band anymore. I thought about breaking this thing up and starting a new band. And then I realized I just really didn’t wanna play with him anymore.”

On being a band that’s had to make its living by touring heavily year after year:

“It would be far more annoying if I were working at Denny’s. That always blows my mind when bands are like, ‘I can’t handle the pressure of touring anymore.’ Okay, go handle the pressure of working at Kinko’s. They’re a bunch of pussies. Get a straight job and you can be at home all the time, dumbass. They play guitar for a living—what the fuck is the problem? ‘I can’t handle touring anymore. I’m too tired out on the road.’ Go talk to a coal miner in West Virginia, then you’ll talk to someone who’s fuckin’ tired.

“The thing about it is, people get stressed out being in a band that tours all the time, but you gotta put things in perspective. It’s not that bad. When I was 14 years old out in the woods loading shake blocks onto the truck … no, no, no, this is better than that. Or when I was takin’ shit from some dumbass boss at a pizza place, fuck that. I don’t think a day went by that I didn’t wanna burn that place down. I don’t have those feelings now.”

On being credited with launching the Seattle grunge scene:

“We didn’t feel like we were a part of anything there. But we were very much in our infancy at that point. Just getting shows was impossible.

“We played some shows I’ll never forget, like we opened for the Minutemen. And there were bands like the U-Men that I liked a lot, and Malfunkshun. Then we became friends with the guys in Green River. We drifted apart from that stuff a long time ago, pretty much when half of that band became multimillionaires. [Members of Green River went on to form Pearl Jam.] Surprisingly enough, when people become multimillionaires, I’m no longer on their A-list. It’s happened dozens of times. Oh well, it really breaks my heart.”

On being considered “weird” or a “willfully difficult” band:

“A lot of people are intimidated by the way I look just because I don’t have a Johnny Unitas haircut or something, but that’s fairly typical for lots of people. We have this long history, and lots of people are definitely weirded out by us. It’s not that big of a deal, though.

“Do people never listen to weird music anymore? Perhaps people are just sick and stupid. Maybe they don’t believe that after 20 fucking years we don’t know what we’re doing and some 18-year-old does. Who knows? Maybe that’s true.

“I’ve never made a record I thought would piss someone off, that I wanna rip someone off with. Everything we’ve done I think is great. There’s so much shit music out there that if you’ve got the time or energy to think something we’ve done is dumb or somehow we’re the enemy, then I hope and pray you’ll then shower me with whatever rich musical taste you have, because I would love to hear it.”

Vcavallo:

I was too young to get into this show and the bouncer didn't buy the fake I.Ds. (heh) 
there was some security guard getting out of a car right in front of the venue and he saw how disappointed we were. we got to talking and he said, "maybe i'll go in and get buzz for you.." we just sorta laughed and got ready to leave after he disappeared into the venue. 
lo and behold, five minutes later the security guard reemerges with some walking hair ball behind him. i was completely floored, needless to say. 
Buzz clasped his hands prayer-style and bowed to each of us, apologizing that we couldn't get into the show and shaking our hands. I had a homemade Prick shirt on and one of my friends pointed it out to him. he sorta smiled and rolled his eyes slightly saying, "that's nice". we all talked for a little while longer and then he went back inside after my friend touched his hair. for some reason we didn't take a picture or anything like that. kinda kicked myself in the ass for that. 
after going home pretty disappointed but strangely uplifted thanks to the surprise meeting, we resolved to go to the show three days later in Connecticut. it was really good.

Vcavallo: i describe my experience interviewing buzz

I drove down from Burlington Vermont to see this show with my then-roommate. He worked for the radio station at our college. another friend of ours (and radio station employee) was in some kind of communication with some people from the melvins (possibly Tim Moss), and they/he basically suggested that we interview them at this show. Curt and I drove down early because we were supposed to do it before the show started. We were told that we couldn't do it before and that we'd have to do it afterwards. After an amazing show, buzz came out and met us at the bar. I gave him an [http://www.devildollrecords.com/E_Store/images/Icebot_Red.jpg Icebot] toy because i know he collects things like this. I also presented him some Cracker Barrel cheese that i bought on the way down because i heard that the melvins like it. This is apparently a rumor. 
the interview went very well. Buzz was incredibly jovial and talkative, leading the conversation in all sorts of interesting directions. i sort of got the impression that he enjoyed being interviewed by an actual fan that listened to the music religiously as opposed to some press-idiot that talks about nirvana constantly. the interview was recorded onto VHS and as soon as i can get it transferred to digital format i will be posting it somewhere on the internet and will provide a link here and elsewhere. 
after the interview, buzz signed some vinyl that i brought as well as a "Prick" shirt that i made a few years back. i told him that i wore it to [http://www.themelvins.net/wiki/index.php?title=June_20_2002 This] concert when he came out and apologized that we couldn't get in. he claimed to remember the incident but i suspect he was just telling me so to make me happy. as we were leaving i saw dale and told him they were great tonight. he offered to sign stuff and then he offered some drumsticks. i didn't even ask. the melvins are a fine bunch of guys. 
I think i got back to Vermont late that night/early the next morning-just in time for class...

"holy holy holy shit.

holy holy holy shit.

i apologize if this entire thing is a series of short and manic sentences: 
just got home. can't hear Anything. ('cept this interesting high-pitched whirr.) wow. that was so fucking good. jared and coady's liveliness is very refreshing i think. i was so goddamn close. closer than every before. i could touch the bass drums and buzz was so in front of me that he was behind me. i might have even been backstage. 
the new songs sound totally awesome live and definitely stick out as something new in melvins-land. the old songs were better than ever before and the pit started on revolve. when it got a little rougher Jared looked down at me and i made eye contact and he kinda widened his eyes and smiled and shrugged a bit as if to say, "eh, sorry man, we're just making the most amazing noise up here and can't help if it whips (the) human animal into a primal frenzy. but i'm glad to see you are thoroughly enjoying yourself and now i'll get back to playing so you can listen" 
oh. Glen: when moss was checking out his pedals i said, "Glen says hi..." he goes, "glen, eh?" i elaborate, "the guy who made these shirts," as i tug on my shirt." he says, "OH yea. cool. yea, that's the ugliest one!" as he points to mine. i say "WHAT?!" he confirms, "no man...i'm kidding. they're beautiful. really beautiful." then Men of Porn played. yes that's right. they did. 
in all honesty, i thought they were just a Bit sloppy. dale missed a few beats and his mini-solos seemed....half-hearted maybe? to be honest again, i was slightly frightened that age was getting to him and affecting his live drumming. JESUS was i wrong! the melvins set confirmed this. 
Ghostdigital was actually really great! ...for 10 minutes. after a little while i got VERY tired of it. but for a little while i did enjoy it. 
Big Business Owned. Coady's drumming completely AWED me. he is powerful as hell and energetic and fast and really entertaining to look at. my mouth was shifting between gaping open and grinning wildly. very very talented drummer. i can't stress it enough. together they were great and Jared's voice sounds really good live. (more on this later) dale's guitar work was really enjoyable. i thought it would be weirder to see him play guitar but it wasn't. he played many a solo about 5 inches from my face. 

and the melvins. oh LORD the melvins. they started with the military-like marching beat and jabbing guitar riff (buzz's guitar was very very quiet in the beginning. it made me a little sad). as they were playing the drum-only intro the crowd started chanting USA USA USA. which i thought was VERY odd. then jared says, "this is a song about patriotism!" and they begin. and they don't fucking stop. EVER...... or so i wish. I swear i came incredibily during Talking Horse. it was surreal. the mini-houdini section sounded really good and wiggly and moving and energetic as it should have. Oven was mindblowing. there was plenty of space for fancy drum battles in between chuga-chugas, which was very cool. After this was the Senile Animal exposition, which was totally unmelviny in a fantastic way. they played the album. simple as that. it was like i put the middle of the album on and turned the volume up to 'MAKE YOUR LIFE EXPLODE' level (which i am never able to find on the dial at home....). they linked all the songs and it rocked my body body. i noticed one of the roadies watching me as i grooved and banged to every single note in sublime precision. i think he was wondering how the fuck i knew the songs inside and out. The old stuff was really intense. the crowd really started to get riled up when they began to recognize the songs and the drunker of the bunch filtered to the front to breathe and lean on me and generally be gross and violent. this was fine though because by this point i was so fucking lost in the wall of noise the i almost welcomed their churning bodies as a facilitator to my own gyrations. (???) The bit = wow. revolve = wow too. everything was great. as i was standing there i resolved to see another show on this tour. i thought that there is no possible way that i am going to wait another year or more to experience this again.
it's so entertaining to watch buzz. he is creepy as hell and he gets so wrapped up in what he is doing. you can see that so much of this is his creation. he just oozes around and makes these wild expressions and rocks the fuck out in his combat boots. i really can't even begin to comment on dale and coady. i have never experienced anything like that at all. for someone who enjoys the drums the most during melvins concerts, this treat was perfect. i don't think i could have asked for a better experience tonight. i got the feeling that this is why i live. there REALLY IS nothing better than going to a melvins concert. ...granted, it's been a little while since i've "gotten some" as they say, but i don't think even sex (which is usually considered the most enjoyable human experience, right??) can come anywhere near comparing to the heavenly bounty that was bestowed, nay, REIGNED down on me tonight. i am going to suffer some serious withdrawal when they leave the north east entirely and i know for sure that i won't see them again till next year (hopefully even then!). there is a glimmer of hope that i will travel to see them this weekend. 
a few minor complaints: maybe it was my positioning, but i the sound wasn't really clear. that is to say, i couldn't hear buzz's voice too well, the guitar sounded like a big fuzzball/muckheap, and the drums overpowered. now understand, this wasn't bad for me at all. since i knew every goddamned note in every verse chorus verse chorus solo chorus outro, i could recognize everything perfectly well, but i think uninitiated listeners would have heard a lot of incoherent noise at times. 
another thing was that the vocal harmonizing didn't sound as...harmonious in the live setting. it seemed like maybe they were a bit off at times. 
the last complaint was that there was too much crap before the melvins. not that the openers were "crap", they were fine, but anything that isn't melvins before a melvins concert just makes me anxious and slightly perturbed. i enjoyed them, but wanted them to be over. 
someone videotaped it. i gave him my email address. he told me not to put it on my website or give it to anyone IF he sends me a copy. i thought that was a little strange but i do have to honor his wishes. i hope he gets in touch with me because i think i would be in most of the shots and it would be an excellent thing to have for my own memories of highlights-of-my-life-days. i guess this would be the first one on tape so far. 
the melvins aren't a relationship. they aren't a job. they aren't a family. the melvins aren't anything like the myriad things that can make a human happy. they don't demand anything at all from you (money, perhaps?). they have the ability to elevate your pleasure higher than ANYTHING on the planet [that i've experienced], and the enjoyment is pure and unthreatened. regarding the live show, you don't have to wonder, are the melvins going to cheat on me or break up with me suddenly? are the melvins going to walk off the stage mid-Oven? a melvins [/i]concert[i] is a secure and welcoming atmosphere of divine enjoyment. 
the saddest thing that i can think of right now is that the melvins will one day be no more. even typing that sentence out saddens me. some album will be the last album and the back-catalogue will be all that we will ever have left to explore. i almost hope that i lose interest in them before that happens. i don't want to care as much as i do right now when that day comes. i wouldn't handle that well. 

for merchandise: they had tonight's poster (signed) for 15. past and future posters for 10? 5? i forget. a bunch of cd's i already own (including ASA). some gigantic t-shirts. the large-size Qee bears...maybe some other stuff that i forgot and 'other-band' stuff. if you want something, TALK TO THE MERCH GUY. i asked him about what they have as far as vinyl and he whipped out a box of stuff. a few singles 1-12 records for 40. night goat for 50. a whole shitload of h.a.t. singles (which he referred to as the "beginners" vinyls.) some other ones perhaps. there was also a copy of jello and the melvins on vinyl which was fully autographed, including Adam Jones. he said there was a 45 in the package as well. the sharpie signatures looked a bit rubbed off. he said that he would try to find out later if there was any more vinyl out in the car. he said buzz always surprises him in the vinyl box and there could be more outside. about 10 minutes after i bought a poster i looked over at the table and he had the paper wights/pins with the rotten teeth, candy corn, bugs and pills in them. i went back over and bought one of the smaller ones for 5 bucks. it's got a tooth in it and the background says melvins on top with a Skull and get this: Candy-canes -not crossbones- underneath. as i was walking out at the end i saw some people walking away with stickers, so i guess they have those in there too. i wanted one but the line was too long so i just told myself "you'll get one in Connecticut" ...haha. now i really have to go. 
so the moral of the merchandise story is, if you want something, ask the guy. he's got secret stuff back there that he doesn't show for some reason or another..... 

i don't know if there is much else to say. i already wrote a fucking novel about this night. i thought i'd post a few lines and collapse but my ever-present obsession with detail, completeness, and communication of all of my knowledge to similarly-minded people won out tonight. if i remember anything else i'll post it here in the future. 

also: took pictures (every fucking one is blurry). will post the pictures of the show and pictures of the paper weight and poster tomorrow or some time after. 

goodnight! GO SEE THIS TOUR. i sincerely apologize and feel sorry for anyone who for some reason or another cannot see the melvins on this tour. sincerely isn't even a strong enough word. it makes me sad that everyone here can't (or hasn't ever) have this experience. it also makes me think that anyone who can't see them where they live needs to get on a fucking plane and go to somewhere where they are playing. it WILL change your life. 
goodnight!"
