[QUOTE="schneidlomat:501411"]There is one person I will not hate if they do decide to not heed my call to BOYCOTT THE MELVINS SHOW on Oct. 13, 2006 at the Living Room in Providence RI. That is Jonathan W. He is a fan and should over-ride this and go. Everyone else, should think hard about what I am about to write. Back in the day, Arab on Radar was very excited to play a "big" show with the Melvins at the Living Room. A few of us worked wt that place for brief stints and really hyped the show up bigtime to Mr. Randy Hein (RIP). Randy as a result, took our word and gave the MELVINS everything they demanded in thier rider - including beer, a compelte catered dinner for all thier crew and themselves, it was literally a room full of stuff, Randy shelled out major cash for it... Long story short, and hour before thier sound check (apx. 6 PM) thier manager calls from Boston trying to shake Randy down for an extra 1000.00 to play. They debated for a while and Randy could not pay them what they asked. Then they moved on to the reason - they didn't want a local band on the show, they did not want to pay the local band yadda yadda... They basically did not want to play... So, they screwed everyone, did not show up, and continued on thier tour. We in AOR put up a sign letting fans know that they weren't playing. About 250 people looked at it, turned around and left. We played to about 50 people... bad show. Thats do-able, OK. BUT. The next week my homie from Atlanta (thier next stop on tour) mailed me a clip from their local Phoenix type of newspaper, I think it is called the Atlanta Weekly or something like that... It contained an interview with King Buzzo, that stated the reason they cancelled Providence was because the club owner "did not support local bands"... ! You can find all of this online if you care to do some googling or other forms of websearching. SO that was BS, we e-mailed thie management and threatened to kick thier asses if they came back... which (funny enough) kept them out of Providence for many years. no lie... They apparently did come back later with HELMET and basically snag stupid showtunes and fuckedoff the whole show. in a nutshell, they absolutely suck, the music, the hairdos, talentless cronies and jaded old farts. I call on all people, who care about local music to pass on this show... I find it personally repugnant that anyone in Providence would BOOK this shit knowing the score, but someone did, and ya know... someone always does. It is like being an intern for Antonin Scalia, theres always some poor schmuck that will sell out all principles and do it... sad, truely sad. But please do not go. I can offer a free 7'' (made in mexico) to anyone who seriously can convince me that they were going and decided not to due to this call to boycott. This is the first and probably only boycott I would ever contemplate, but we need to make it not profitable to screw over bands and awesome club owners like Randy was. I loved that guy and miss him much. Melvins Schmelvins (you can download every good album of thiers for free easily, they suck live, they have sucked for years, give it up) thanks. schneidlomat :tightiewhities:[/QUOTE]
