Melvins January Residency at Spaceland

The Melvins had a Friday night residency at Spaceland in January and played two sets a night. All four shows were sold out and Spaceland was packed. The first show the Melvins played the Lysol and Eggnog albums and Colossus of Destiny which is a very long and drawn out song but I am sure the Melvins didn't care about what the crowd thought of the song. The second show they had the original 1983 lineup and played my favorite album Houdini. The third show they played the Bullhead album. The last show the played the Stoner Witch album. The first set of the second, third and fourth shows the Melvins played songs from their new album The Bride Screamed Murder. Below are pictures from various shows and the bottom two videos are the closing songs from the third and fourth show.

THE BIG 4

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax April 23rd, 2011


Finally! the bands are from L.A. and NYC but Europe got the first go around. So for us here in the U.S. we have to make sure we show them how its done right. After all the dust settles from the fakers and hipsters at coachella they bring out the big guns! on April 23rd 2011 Goldenvoice bring us Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer & Anthrax for the first time performing together in the U.S. Tickets go on sale this saturday at $100 & $200 for VIP whatever that means. the trailer is really awesome too! so be sure to check it out. you can find more info on their official site below.

These thrash band's were the bands I was listening to growing up, hanging with my dad and his friends as they reminised over beers, seeing them at house parties in the ghettos of Los Angeles. I know its going to be a great treat for Californians and whoever else is going to fly or drive down here to see history made. Considering most members of Slayer & Metallica grew up not to far from where I lived it always brought good feelings when the hometown metallers came around as they grew bigger and played for larger audiences around the world. Fuck yeah! \m/..o..\m/
