No doubt man. He still raves about it and the drum stick has a special place only a few people are allowed to touch (his rules lol). Unfortunately that was a high bar set and future shows may not live up to that one.

Totally taking my kids to band shows now. When I have kids, that is. That is a really cool story!

Does anyone have thoughts on the Fulltone Plimsoul or the Catalinbread Naga Viper? I'm considering picking them up off Greyscales to drive my amp. This way I can rely on the Marsh Chapel for midrangey muffy goodness in a small package.

I've not played the Naga Viper, but I do have a Treble Booster type pedal. The smallsound/bigsound Sparkle Motion is a similar pedal and slays. I absolutely love it. Darren has the Naga Viper and swears by it. You can't go wrong with a Rangemaster/Treble Booster. It's a great boost for a clean channel with a little hair or driving an already distorted fuzz tone.

I played the Plimsoul when it came out a few years ago and wasn't especially impressed, but I had a different outlook on tone back then and only tweaked it for ten minutes or so at a shop.

That's always going to happen in life. We're always trying to beat our first memories and encounters. It's healthy in some ways and unhealthy in others.

Awesome awesome time, getting to share one of my favorite bands with my son and then that kind of treatment by the band. Something neither of us will forget.

Thats awesome man.
I hope I can do that one day.

That is awesome. I've spoken with Buzz and Dale a couple of times...super cool dudes.

I took my 11 year old son to meet Nick Oliveri once. True idol material right there ha ha!

I figure the best way to handle that with shows, is not to try to top the experience but show the different experiences. Next up should be a great arena show, full production, big lights, visualizations, etc.... the exact opposite of the intimate melvins show.

It was a cool experience all around. The attitude of the crowd was great. That was my biggest concern (well that and him trying to take the stage to hammer out some drums). But everyone treated him as if he was their kid. Let him cut in, out, and through the crowd to make sure he could see. Protecting him from the drunken people that were completely oblivious to the kid.

Anyway... back to more DOOOM!!! topics. Jeez... all this "kid meeting your favorite band" and "rescue dogs looking way better".. now we just need some kittens playing with cute stuff.

There is something to be offered everywhere in life.

Also, I hope you tickled your kitties tummy after that photo, Skip. Not tickling a cats tummy is sacrilege. We don't want a cat-pocalypse on our hands.

Anyone dig Shroud Eater? I've been playing their new album non stop lately.

Of course I tried, but he's infamous for doing that to get you to come over because he knows thats what you want. But then he flips over and is like "just kidding! scratch my back and ears instead!".
