Seeing the melvins tonight.
 
Expecting it to be pretty amazing.
Anyone else seen them on this most recent tour? Any good?
Any of my other fellow texans gonna be here tonight?

viewtiful_alan 08.21.2008 06:02 PM

Thank you. : )
You dont like them?

viewtiful_alan 08.21.2008 06:14 PM

Oh I do and will thank them.
Me and my friend will are going together.
If the show goes too late we are just gonna crash at my cousin's apartment (he lives across the street).
And yeah bullhead is pretty amazing.

viewtiful_alan 08.21.2008 06:17 PM

That sounds like an amazing show...
Oh I plan on it.
I'm hoping I'll be able to get in, for some reason the venue I'm going to is putting them in the smaller room that can only hold 350... I'm just hoping I'll be able to get tickets.

Damian 08.21.2008 11:16 PM

the Melvins will play in Buenos Aires
early next month
finally I'm gonna have the chance to see them

cheers!

viewtiful_alan 08.21.2008 11:40 PM

Wow I think I just had the most bullshit experience of my life
The show was being sponsored by camel so they wouldn't let us in, but they had no problem selling us tickets.
Its bullshit because all the camel stuff was outside, and they wouldn't even let you smoke inside. But just because camel sponsored they wouldnt let us in....

Sonic Youth 37 08.21.2008 11:46 PM

That sucks man. 18+ shows are dumb and 21+ shows are fucking bullshit. Fuck the sponsor or whether or not the venue sells booze, if someone wants to see a kickass band, let them in!!

viewtiful_alan 08.21.2008 11:48 PM

Exactly. Some kids came in from out of town to see it and they wouldn't let them in.

Sonic Youth 37 08.21.2008 11:49 PM

The venues are just money-grabbing bastards. Some of them around here charge an extra $2-4 cover to people under 21 for 18+ shows because they're losing money on alcohol sells.

well in this case there was literally no reason.

Sonic Youth 37 08.21.2008 11:53 PM

Yeah, total bullshit. I got screwed out of seeing SY when I was 17 because the venue had the show 18+, but fucking Disturbed, Seether, and Puddle of Crudd are all ages because of the fucking whiney metal kids.

viewtiful_alan 08.21.2008 11:53 PM

well of course...
it sthem who lose money.

_slavo_ 08.22.2008 12:49 AM

Saw them in April or so this year ... boring as hell. I wish I stumble upon this band no more.
or maybe it's just not my cup of tea.

MellySingsDoom 08.22.2008 01:00 AM

The age thing is bullshit all the way - I got in to see bands in pubs when I was 16 - the landlords didn't give a shit, as long as I bought some alcohol.

A few weeks ago my friend was going to get tickets for Disturbed, but it was an 18+ show, he was so annoyed. The same thing happened when I was going to buy tickets for Ed Kuepper.

Rob Instigator 08.22.2008 08:46 AM

I hope you enjoyed! my friend sozavac was there. I could not go due to other scheduling but yhe had asked me to go with him. he texted me late last nigth saying the melvins blew out his eardrums and he was very happy

IGNORE what I just wrote. I just read what happened. fuck tat sucks man.

I am sorry

warehouse live ussualy dioes a great job of putting on shows. I have never been to a show there where they did not let in "kids"

that fucking sucks.

Derek 08.22.2008 11:13 AM

I got into Melvins easily.

It was Earth/Sir Richard Bishop that I got bumped back for...

You should take the time to email and let them know about what happened last night. Be respectful with your tone (or would that be typing?) and I doubt that you get your money back, but they very well could offer you free tickets to a future "all ages" show. Of course this doesn't make up for last night, but at least your not left empty handed.

Thank you, I just might do that.
