...they sucked! A friend and I saw them about two years ago and they blew our minds. We hyped this to a bunch of our friends and dragged them to the gig tonight, and they blew! So much for our close friends plunking down $20 each for a ticket. I felt so jipped. I mean the show had it' s moments, and maybe I wouldn't feel so bad if the show was cool and all out friends loved it too, but the band was riding the borderline of really, really kicking our asses. The Melvins live gigs are like a combination of Captain Beefheart meets The Grateful Dead meets Metallica. A great mix right? How could anybody go wrong with that (okay, maybe you all aren't in agreement with the Dead comparison)But usually they rock. Not tonight. Anybody out there have the same problem?!
