Last Night Melvins and Big Business
posted by on September 20 at 13:30 PM
Ok, not “last night”, but Tuesday night. Who went to see Big Business and the Melvins? If you missed it, you definitely missed the heaviest and best stoner metal show in the world. You really have to see it live to believe it. But I’m not good at writing music reviews, so let’s look at some pictures.

Jared and Buzzo seem to be competing for The Most Fucked Up Hair in Rock title - Jared is quite a contender with his half-Amish, half-Hasidic Jew-braids, but Buzzo’s still The King. He’s a headbanging upside-down exclamation point.

Coady Willis stills wins for beating the drums to death, for BOTH bands, for almost three hours straight, with nary an oxygen mask… Ooh, and the crowd - the crowd wins several awards. Most livable mosh pit, best classic fist-banging, and BEST ol’skool Seattle style, complete with flannels, uh, chin beards…

and non-ironic teeshirts.

There was also a ton of musicians there. You couldn’t throw a rock without hitting a Mudhoney, Tight Bro, or Murder City Devil. The highlight though, for me at least, was watching the chick in the garbage bag dress getting arrested outside for some sort of girl-on-girl fight in the pit. Girls don’t fight in mosh pits anymore do they?

Ahh. Sweet, sweet nostalgia.

Sweet chin beard.
I went to the last Big Buss/Melvins show @ Neumo's and that fuckin slayed! Now I'm wishing I hadn't missed this one! F!
both sets murdered it. it was like a haunted house in there.
What was Jared singing at the very end? Was that Alphaville?
i think that might be my friend ashley who is getting arrested.
