Melvins EarthQuaker Sessions - "Queen/Sway" Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar | EarthQuaker Devices

- Hey music lovers, it's your friends at EarthQuaker Devices with another dose of EarthQuaker Sessions. For Episode 48, we have a special one featuring metal legends, the Melvins! Buzz "King Buzzo" Osborne, Dale Crover, and Steven McDonald. While checking out the Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar, produced in collaboration with Wata guitarist of Boris, with whom the Melvins have toured multiple times, the affable legendary trio blessed us with an impromptu session.
Yay for us and you!
Both Buzz and Stephen use the Hizumitas on the two songs they perform. First, the Melvins own "Queen" from the 1994 album Stoner Witch followed by a heavy cover of the Rolling Stones' "Sway" sung by Stephen from the Melvins' 36-song acoustic collection Five-Legged Dog, released in 2021.
You also get some of the patented wry Melvins humor between the two tunes, including Buzz' talking about his brilliant new audio innovation, "5.1 Mono," and his adroit description of the Hizumitas as a "distortion pedal with three knobs." Beautiful, Buzz. Thanks.
So sit back and get ready to bang your head and chuckle a few times with the Melvins.

Whether you love EVERYTHING Melvins have put out over the years or not, watching this totally proves why they’re still at it, just having fun working their weirdness. A fan forever.🫀👽🌈💥
Normally wouldn't really watch in full, but it just had the right punch
Me too
I love how Boris the japanese band and Melvins the band who wrote Boris the song who inspired the japanese band :)
the circle of life itself
I got to see Boris play Boris live, was brilliant.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputerjust saw them it was amazing
So boss@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer
Damn King Buzzo's almost 60 yet him and the band have never sounded better.
totally
So true
he always got that old man voice so now it really sounds like old man voice
There’s nothing like the Melvins and there’s nothing like a Melvins interview.
A lot of bands show charisma, but in different eras, frontmen have different personalities that don't ALL age equally well. For example, as much as I love Dave Mustaine, if you watch interviews of him in the 80s and early 90s, he seems like a real douche and you'd never hear someone talk the way he did then
Buzz and Dale have ALWAYS kept the same weird, energetic, lovable personalities. My point is, if you watch really old Melvins interviews from 30 years ago, there is absolutely NO cringe factor! Unlike Dave Mustaine in 1990 saying "those guys aren't cool MAAAAN, they're like, unhip, maaan"
One of the coolest things about The Melvins is I was able to sit down with my 14 year old daughter 20 years ago and teach her The Melvins on guitar. The amount of joy it brought her playing along with King Buzzo was incalculable. They are legendary.
that rules
Saw buzz at a Whole Foods in Thousand Oaks one time and he was eating lunch and it was the least punk rock thing ever and it was absolutely awesome ahah
yeah fuck lunch!
@@EarthQuakerSessions fuck it to hell!
“Or you could just not use it at all”
Buzz is hilarious at hyping pedals
This is what a band should sound like
I love Melvins From Indonesia 👍🙏💪❤️❤️❤️
thanks for watching!
The Melvins covering one of my fave Stones songs, yes please!
Fucking love MELVINS!!! Steven is such a good fit personality-wise with Dale and Buzz haha
For sure. The first time I saw an interview with him that was my thought.
5.1 MONO
w/ dolby reduction. If you want it.
THE BEST ROCK BAND ON THE PLANET . loved this. Earthquaker, MORE MELVINS!!!!
we hear you! we love you!
I'm LOVING that Stone's cover!!
I saw them last week and they are absolutely incredible. They put out so much energy it blows my mind.
So good!
Melvins are an international treasure
galactic, even.
Hearing SWAY electric is really cool. Steven is a great fit with the band.
i met boz in like, 2003/5 melbourne australia, cant remember exactly the year. melvins were supporting Phantomas and Tomahawk. Bro, i was 17. Shouldn't have even been in the building legally. epic introduction to bestiest sludgiest weirdiest rockn metal ever. Met Boz outside in smoko after their set. most down to earth dude.
Such a great interview. I really love that Steve is singing and we got to See the band so up close and personal.💜 These guys deserve the world💜
God I love Melvins
One of the best rock bands in history. Saw them in 1993 and the only get better with time
I absolutely love these dudes. Melvins, you beauties, everything you do is fried gold!
they have the formula
@@EarthQuakerSessions And so do you, my friend
Buzz & Dale are looking more like brothers every day. I can't believe they're not related.
Cool to see Steve McDonald playing here, been a huge fan of Redd Kross for years and would love to hear another album from them.
I've been to tons of concerts starting in 1978. I"ve had an unbelievable number of tour shirts from countless bands. About 2005 I had to let them go. So I cleared them out....except for just 1. A really special one to me, and there were some awesome onesthat were hard to let go.
The one I kept and was showing it off just the other day...... *_Melvins Eggnog._*
Thanks for sharing!
Why would you clear them out?
@@danieldesoto6787 He found Jesus...
I never seen that particular one as t-shirt, and in about a teener of thought great cover for a shirt! Yeah, that's a cool one. I've seen an like 4 every different ways. I got a shirt first time opening for Helmet on that groups Aftermath(was that the name of the album after Betty?) Tour. Melvins s played like a 55 minute stunner of sludgergeny, Honky might've been out, Stag was newish but I think they already toured it a bit at that point. Saw them maybe a year to year and a half later at the mason jar when touring the triology. Maybe best concert I've been at. Got my only melvins shirt at one of those shows. It wasn't their coolest but I wore the he'll out of it. It was black with red lettering of the melvins s written like literally flowery and cursivey. Saw them open for tomahawk few years later. Best biggest stage I think I saw em at but set was only hour. Rules but they should a headlined. Within same year or 2 @ same place ( the marquee, all this in AZ btw) also saw Fantomas headline over Melt Banana and The Locust. Noisepunk heaven J
Nice share what a fucking groovin bass player and Drums
Greatest hair in rock history
I love (the) melvins. I don't know in my life if I could meet them in person. Before it's too late. Dale and Buzzo are like grandpas of my unborn child right now. Much love from Malaysia! ❤️
Love it, love it, love it! These guys deserve much more credit as musicians! And such a blast to hear them cover the Stones :)
Love the MELVINS. True to themselves always. - PureSalem Guitars
Down to earth guys who make great music. My favorite song is history of bad men. The two songs they just played sound really good too
they smooth!
Every time I have seen Melvins live, it was always a packed show \m/
por vida!
Totally badass as per usual.
These guys are good.
Sway live here reminds me of The Band for some reason. It’s really cool!
Or the Stones.

Awesome! 1 of my top 3 fave Stones songs. Long live MELVINS!!!
🪨😤
Saw them open for Helmet in a small bar in Charlottesville,Va. I have burned many brain cells in my life but I can remember first seeing King Buzzo in person and being starstruck by his awesomeness. Dude is a legend who is insanely influential
Saw them on the same tour back in 96? Or 97? In Memphis
Grande Sound!!!! HAIL DI'AUL ABRACAMACABRA 😈🐐. .. ...... Saluti dall'Italia 😇❤️ DOOOMMMM!!!!!!
Sway is an awesome song.
Buzz has become the crazy rockin’ grandpa every millennial fears!
really? millenials fear buzz?
All hail to the "5.1-mono" idea!!!
Love these guys! Amazing and so funny! 5.1 Dolby Mono!! LOL
Melvins never go out of style.
YER GODDAMN RIGHT!!!!!
That cover of Sway is great.
like the vibe, keep up the Kool 5.1 mono.
Stoner witch still my favorite
Outstanding.
thanks for watching and subscribing!
Ok folks, now we’re talkin. The Melvins are the best rock band I have seen. Besides Fantamo$. Sway was more like a jag parody than a cover! Made my day. This is the best pedal review. EVER. And the best pedal channel. Great job Jamie and Company! I met Buzz a couple of times at Emo’s and he is funny as hell, and real people com ca. He is an underrated, humble, master, BUT if you give the Melvins sh*t on stage they will give you an earache.
Piya.
my favorite band growing up here in aberdeen and oly got to watch them play a lot in oly great times as a kid
hell yeah! hey, thanks very much for subscribing to our channel! More good stuff to come!
3:51 "or you can just not use it at all"

More please............................
"that's the spirit"
killer stuff
I saw Boris on tour pre-COVID (Oberhausen, Germany) and they performed “Boris” insanely well. Although I think the tuning was a lot lower…
Z flat
Steve rippppsss!
Melvins lovers from Bali-indonesia❤️❤️👍
yess!
Love that Buzzo now always uses Blown heads/cabs
I wish I liked this band cuz they seem like pretty cool dudes.
you like em
@@EarthQuakerSessions I like Fantômas!
@@fnub If your interested in giving the almighty Melvins one last shot, could I ask what Melvins you’ve previously heard you didn’t like?
Because they have some albums that I think sound like a totally different band than another album. Melvins are all time faves of mine. Wanna say either Houdini or Stag was my introduction to the studio stuff. Houdini may be the most universally liked album they have, and it contains some absolute classic Melvins, however, as good as Houdini is, Houdini Live released maybe 10-ish years ago (recorded in the 90s with Joe Preston on bass) is so perfect that the studio Houdini is nearly irrelevant to me now. A Senile Animal was from 2006ish and has the guys from Big Business (thus it’s a double drum album). It rules. The earliest stuff (Ozma, Gluey Porch Treatments, the debut ep from ‘86, up to perhaps Bullhead from 91) still have some awesome punk rock energy. Prick is particularly underrated to me. Lots of great “Melvins-adjacent” things to dig into from their individual solo releases, to any of their long line of bassists other projects, to stuff like Fantomas. They opened so many doors for me.
What Fantomas should I buy if I haven’t heard them since around when their Delerium Cordia album came out, and remember liking it okay, but appreciate Mike Patton (and Trevor Dunn’s weirdo jazz stuff) way more now than I did then?
@@EarthQuakerSessions lol
I did listen all the way through Five Legged Dog so there you go!
ha you win!
🤘🏻
🤘🏽
🔥🔥🔥
💯
The interview is funny lol | 3:25 Dale lol
SO FUCKING GREAT👹
love melvins
love boris
simple as
Travis Bean! 🧡
nice
Listen to Bullhead today.
That’s the record that got me into slow doomy shit it’s perfect
5.1 MONO ... 😆 ... I'll love da MELVINS... 🤘🏻
DUDE!!!
yeah dude
"This is career suicide.'" Melvins have pretty much made a career out of career suicides.
classic part!
😍
I knew that was a Steve Marriott impression. When I was a young lad I went to see Humble Pie. Steve Marriott sang the intros to their songs. He literally sang, "who wants to hear some Rolling Stones. " It might have been on a live album as well. I don't know.
😎
Dale & Buzz on 5.1
Nice one y'all. I been planning on covering Sway, thanks for settin the fuckin bar so high. Lol.
The Melvins were patches palls 😊
King Buzzo aged well :)
They are still SO energetic and they're all in their 90's now (except for the lead singer and the band's rhythm section)
Buzz... maybe you were listening to The Who and their classic number 'Boris The Spider'
