    Here in New Orleans the heavy bands 100% credit the Melvins as the biggest inspiration to the sludge sound we're known for now. Thanks Buzz

      They're one of only a tiny handful of bands that can lay claim to creating grunge (and also "sludge" in Melvins case). One of the least known, most influential bands of all time. All modern heavy music stems in some way from something Melvins did.

    I think people should ask Buzz / Dale less about Nirvana, if at all lol.
    They've paved their own career, pre-dating, and obviously outlasting the band.
    I love Nirvana. LOVE Nirvana, but The Melvins are their own band with their own legacy, putting out a thousand albums, singles, still cutting vinyl, doing countless shows. Ask them questions about what they're doing now.
    This is obviously more relevant considering the connection of Cobain and Houdini, but I mean in general lol

Buzzo said come to the show. We already had tickets, so when we were at the show, they played honey bucket even faster than the studio and the pit went nuts. One of the many good times at Mississippi Nights.

    my story with this album it starts when a sophomore old friend challenged me to play the honey bucket intro (i play drums) when i first listen that i went speechless. I really didn't understand how it's possible play an intro for a song like that and at that moment i accpet the challenge, for almost a month i get stuck on the kit of school and the one's i have at home
    Later in a band rehersal with him in the room
    i played the shit out of that intro and now he went speechless, i earn his whole respect as a drummer after that
    Then i start to listen the whole fking album and the riff tones, the tough hits on drums and sludge atmosphere (the lyrics not so much cause i get it more like internal jokes around the band or something) got me through a endless spiral, even i tattooed the two headed dog on my right arm cause it's just something that i can't just get out of my body. It gets stuck forever on my inner core
    So i want to thank buzz and dale for making one of the greatest pieces of art and influences on my music taste and sounding
    fits so well in every mood or every moment i've going or went through

When they came out and played our jaws fell open, my dad leaned over and said "Man, this band is awesome! Their like a Black Sabbath with shorter songs!" Kiss was cool, the band didn't seem to get along and seemed to be playing for money, the Melvins stood out, all of us that night became Melvin fans.

    I saw The Melvins with Ministry in 2022 - One of the loudest concerts I've ever been to. They were just in my city with Boris & Hatebreed/Terror/Jesus Piece played upstairs and saw Buzz & the drummer of Boris standing off the side if the stage watching Jesus Piece tear it up - Got to shake Buzz's hand quickly because he had to perform in the basement in 20 minutes. His hair is HUGE! 😆

      @@seanmckelvey6618 Sure, but I think it warrants maybe one question, which Buzz has already given a thousand times in other interviews before. Bringing up Kurt and Nirvana so much and referring to him as Buzz’s “child” just seemed really weird to me. Yes, he was involved at some point, then he wasn’t… it’s not that interesting

      @@Balloon_86 Sure, it isn't interesting and in most cases when talking about the Melvins it's entirely irrelevant. But Cobain was very much a musical child of Buzz, Buzz introduced him to punk rock. Fact of the matter is, that Nirvana was a massive, massive band and unfortunately it's now nearly impossible to talk about any music from that era and scene, or adjacent scenes, without bringing up Nirvana or Cobain. It sucks, but that's the world we live in now.

    A few years ago I was in the studio with my band recording and when it came time for vocals I was frantically writing lyrics. My drummer asked me what I was doing and when I told him he seemed surprised because we had been playing that particular song live for 2 1/2 years . He asked me what were the old lyrics then . I told him there never were any, I was just up there making shit up the whole time Nobody in the band had any idea and they all started telling me what they each had THOUGHT I had been singing about and to be honest, some of it was pretty good. Love The Melvins, bravest band on the planet. They'll do whatever they want to do and nothing but.

    Stoner Witch was my sophomore and junior years in high school .
    Not to say it was released during those years.
    I was class of 2005 so that album and the whole Pacific North West-alt rock wave of popularity had been receded nearly a decade by then but it really fascinated me far beyond was what would have been considered contemporary at the time.
    2000's MTV couldn't hold my interest.
    I got really into Mudhoney and Jesus Lizard and L7 Fantomas and The Melvins.
    I meant Stoner Witch is basically what I listened too all the time every day for those formative years.
