- 5/29/02 -A chunk of the Melvins internet world has been crapped on. The Melvins Rare
MP3s site was shut down and wiped out.
I've been trying to figure out the downage and finally contacted the host
admin who said:
"here is the problem, your website generates a very high volume of traffic. Because of this, we had to disable your site .. not really because of the volume, but because of the content. We can't have other people's work on our site (anime, mp3s, software). It will get us shutdown really fast. It violates our provider's AUP and the AUP you agreed to when you created your account.
I hope you understand.
I'm very sorry, but it violates the AUP because you don't own it. Its a copyright violation :(
Violating an AUP (our provider's AUP) is what I was worried about, not your site.
I don't see any problem with a 'fan' site.. but I think the MP3 (bootleg or not) are dangerous copyrigth violations."
It was nice while it lasted!
GO MELVINS~! - 5/22/02 - More dates added to the tour. Tomahawk tour info added.
- 5/10/02 - May 9, 2002 Amoeba Music Hollywood, CA Free Show
I got there about 20 minutes late (traffic woes and fuzzy directions), Melvins were already playing. They played for about 45 minutes, most all of H.A.T. It's a huge place and it was pretty packed in there. People were standing in the cd aisles and on the upper level watching them boys make noise. I wiggled up center about 5 aisles back from the stage. They were great, no mu-mus, button up black dress shirts for Buzz and Kevin, don't know about pants. Dale had a skull shirt and shorts. Buzz thanked the crowd and they did a meet n greet afterwards. I didn't recognize anyone from the list, but saw the Riverside Melvins hardcores that I usually see at Melvins. Looking forward to May 25th Troubadour show! - 5/4/02 - More dates added to the tour.

I've contributed twice, if anyone is interested in contributing, go here. If you donate, realize that none of the donation goes to myself or the Melvins. SDF Public Access UNIX System is in no way affiliated with the Melvins either. - 5/13/01 - My pics from last Tuesday's Melvins show at the Troubadour in Hollywood, CA.
