My sister went to see them in the late 90s or early 00s and I guess she was there early and it was a teeny venue, but either way, she ended up hanging out with Buzz and Dale, just shooting the shit about music. She said they were so kind and down to earth, she got pictures with them both, but said the conversations were better than getting the pictures. I wish I could thank them for making her so happy, she had a tormented life and unfortunately passed away last April. I know that was one of her cherished memories.
Melvins' Buzz Osborne - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? 1211pm 27.3.23 i saw it, the melvins and steel pole bathtub, so that was kind of a boon - to me... i have a habit of rushing to see bands and then rushing off home again - so i cant say i have ever met any rock gods.
King Buzzo is the shit live! I saw Melvins open up for Tool here in Knoxville and then Tool brought him out to finish 3/4 of their set too. It added so much more depth to their music. If you can imagine that.?.
@@CelestialWoodway Maybe because of their setlist, perhaps? Idk man, because they have massive catalogs and usually not only play their top songs or something during live performance. Sometimes they just play the entire album from start to end with nothing else. Haha. So maybe you were experiencing some of their boring stuffs that night, no? Because I doubt Melvins ever sounds & look boring live tho. The material might be boring, but the heaviness and intensities are intact!
Holy shit that shit real? I canna believe it. If I saw that I'd be like woah hey. What's that all about. Man, awe geeze. Fuck. What an amazing experience y'all. My balls are explodiannnng....:
In 2004 The Melvins released a big coffee table sort of book called "Neither Here Nor There". It was filled with artwork, pictures and anecdotes and it was great. Also included a compilation CD with some rarities. You can still find it online.
Buzz is The Riffmeister. Civilized Worm and History of bad men helped when I was going through a bad time. Great band and a great guitarist and vocalist.
The album covers for OZMA and BULLLHEAD come to mind. It should also be noted that since I made this comment, I encountered King Buzzo himself in person. We didn't have any meaningful conversation (I mostly shouted "KING BUZZO!" at him and he responded with a wave), but I can confirm he looks just as cuddly in real life.
+Gud Dergo no, the Ramones invented a whole genre of music, were named by Spin Magazine as the second best band of all times after the Beatles, and are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and achieved all of this despite the fact that commercial radio stations wouldn't play their music. Check it out.
I bought the album "Prick" after loving "Houdini". I absolutely hated it at first. But, it being the 90s and being essentially "trapped" with yr purchase decisions, I would put it on when trying to write papers or my own whatever... It became one of my favorite albums. Still have the cd. I love all the fake outs.
That's funny because that's essentially my story as well. I bought it, thought it was garbage, but it grew on me over time as I used it for background noise to write to.
I saw the melvins twice...first time in Cleveland Ohio and second time in Columbus. Buzz is an awesome and down to earth person when I meant him. Such an honor sir, such an honor!
I’ve seen the Melvins quite a few times in Cleveland, and hung around after shows to meet them. Buzz is the best. Such a real person. Gave him a big hug after a Peabodys Down Under show. It spooked him but he could tell I was annoying drunk.
"Gruhamed" NEEDS to go by "Gromit" from "Wallace & Gromit"! That would be the best nickname, man! Buzzo is hilarious and always so candid with his answers. Melvins rule!
On the question about the Prick album being titled Kurt Kobain, what's with the sudden film cut on the answer of "We thought it would be funny." as if they didn't want to let the rest of the answer in the video. That's suspicious.
Buzzo is so human especially when he describes the earthquakes. Unlike 90% of every modern artist, he just lays down the facts and bluntly stated "this shit was bad". PS where can I buy Buzz Osborne signature hair
I am not a huge Melvins fan but i like some of their material and Buzz was a huge influence on a lot of my influences as a guitarist such as Kirk Windstein of Crowbar, but anyway i love how honest he was about things with Kurt POF Cobain. we need more people with this level of frankness.
+Josh Pelton Osborn is one of the only people who has completely dispelled the myth that Kurt was doing heroin because of an diagnosed stomach problem. According the Buzz that was just the excuse he made up so he could keep doing dope. However, I always get the feeling like Osborn is pretty bitter that his band never blew up as big is Nirvana or the other grunge contemporaries, despite the staying power and their lasting relevance.
my brother had Lysol on LP and it was a copy without the tape masking out the word Lysol............I borrowed the album and listened to it religiously, to this day one of my all time favourite albums of any genre ever............I lost it. My brother has never forgiven me.
man i could imagine its like if i had a brother and i gave him my monster magnet-spine of of god original CD album and cover and he lost it.its crazy how cool things can mean so much
HE'S A FAT ASS NO TALENTED PARASITE THE ONLY CURRENCY HE'S GOT IS THE FACT THAT HE TREATED KURT AND KRISS LIKE SHIT AND SAYS I DIDN'T SELL OUT FUNNY THING KURK SHIT ALL OVER MAINSTREAM AS ESTATE HE COULD , FUCK MELVINS!!!
@@emptyv6603 I don't like to admit I'm snobby about music, the Melvins are fun and I don't get the impression of fake. They are an honest transparent band. Music is subjective anyway, I don't see the point in the negative passion of your post. Life is too short.
Hi Buzz worked with you back at the ROUND TABLE PIZZA SF 89..... remember bro...I was that dough roller that Dale helped get hired in to take his place while you guys wanted to go back on tour.Thanks Dale for passing that gig down to me after leaving the 801 Van Ness Ave store . Man that joint was cool and the Hindu family that ran it was so nice we had some cool nights there and you was the delivery driver back then with your old lady.....😁 That was old SF days wish they would come back.....boy we had a music heaven right there in the bay area.......well kudos for you and love the Fantomas stuff cool gigs and music as well. Oink that's it pal Porky Ca
Tom you are wrong and Dale and Buzz can confirm this fact. ....now if you don't understand that point the US Government can back up the point even better......NO THIS IS TRUE DON'T BE A HATER BRO !!!
Buzz won't be reading these comments. Better chance at going to a gig and trying to have a conversation or reaching out on an official social media site.(does buzz even have socials?)
So, what I've learned from this is that Buzz is the lord of earthquakes and destruction. I kinda always suspected that, but it's nice to have confirmation.
i love the chosen one....loving him is so much fun, we love the chosen one not as much as me, i loved him with my heart, i loved him with my body parts, we love the chosen one everybody shush
For anybody who thinks that Buzz is jealous of Nirvana, Dave grohl once said in an interview that they had asked Buzz to be their second guitarist. He turned them down and they ended up getting Pat Smear. After The melvins signed to Atlantic records, they could have easily changed their sound for a more commercial one and they didn't. That is hardcore.
Within a year ('97-'98) I experienced a minor earthquake in Seattle, a tornado in Nashville, & a hurricane in Miami...must be a special club for that too?!🤘😎❤
I have a feeling I could cut buzz off in my Fiat, make him pull over, and tell him I have a TV show on the internet called interviews in my Fiat. And he be like okay, cool
Buzz is a fucking true gentleman. Isn’t rich but loves to play up close and personal with his fans because he want to be personal with his fans. Treats them like friends and family. Doesn’t care about selling out shows to make a shit load of money. That’s what sets him aside from the rest.
Noise Rock and Sludge Metal bands like Melvins, High On Fire and Butthole Surfers are the best simply because of that fact alone, it's fucking awesome!
I hope you tour New Zealand again Buzz, just come to Auckland- I can guarantee your safety from earthquakes there. Would be great to see you and the Melvins again.
Normally not my bag this kinda stuff but the Melvin's are so fucking heavy and so original I just love them.Mad props 4 tha Melvin's. I love everything they are about.Simply love it.

"A band is only as good as it´s drummer" Something Grohl still says to this day.

I dunno I saw the Melvins live and they were boring as shit. The records are better. Maybe it was an off night.
Buzzo is the only one cool enough to be Tool's unofficial 5th band members. Those guys love Melvins, especially Adam.

I bought there 1st album in 87. The album cover was so ridiculous I had to see what this band was all about. The best decision I've ever made.
@Tom Henesey I miss going to record stores period.

Buzz is The Riffmeister. Civilized Worm and History of bad men helped when I was going through a bad time. Great band and a great guitarist and vocalist.
Literally there rn, listening to those two on repeat
Real shit
Buzz Osbourne makes some of the most intimidating drone metal, but he looks so cuddly here...
I think that perfectly describes the Melvin’s. They’re artwork is all cute and all, but they play some of the best non southern sludge metal.
The album covers for OZMA and BULLLHEAD come to mind.

agreed
Wow. You may have my vote now, Donald.
and he is a hardcore Libertrain..
Man this guy gets more and more awesome every time I see an interview :)
King Buzzo remembers the exact years of everything
That's because he wasn't high
Buzz is a legit LEGEND. Fact.
"Fact" isn't a necessary clarifier, it is understood as such!
Down to earth, honest, no fake ass ego, rock attitude. And they rock as hard or harder than anyone. No compromise✌✌✌✌
A legit scoundrel. His bs about respect lysol for protecting their brand after he stole mudhoney songs.
Damn... What a real person. Straight forward, truthful, just Real. He is the polar opposite of being "ON". It's so fucking refreshing.

Metsl on, sir!

+Matthew Friedly I think it's because Buzz joked that Kurt was the titular "prick" because he died and forced them to change the title
+TheClever69 That does sound like something Buzz would say...
Yeah, I think they're either calling him a prick for killing himself, or calling him a prick for forcing them to change the title
BUZZ is a clean rocker. All about the music not alcohol or drugs
I could listen to Buzz talk all day forever tbh
Buzzo is so human especially when he describes the earthquakes. Unlike 90% of every modern artist, he just lays down the facts and bluntly stated "this shit was bad".
