The Melvins Buzz Osborne talks w Eric Blair 2014

(Wiki) Melvins are an American rock band that formed in 1983.[1] They usually perform as a trio, but in recent years have performed as a four piece with two drummers. Since 1984, singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne (also known as King Buzzo) and drummer Dale Crover have been the band's ongoing members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. "Melvin" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.

His hair is so badass, it scorched the wood behind him.

[@ericbruce8606]

Buzz doesn't put Kurt on a pedestal. You can tell he hurts due to the passing of his friend. You can tell by his body language and the look in his eyes, that he misses Kurt. Losing a friend to addiction is never easy whether they are alive or dead.

[@ZeroFortyFive]

What a cool dude, he's genuinely happy and content.

[@Marley999888]

I misjudged Buzz,the more I hear him talk and play the more I like him.One of the best most genuine interviews from a musician I think I've seen.

[@pubicenemy92]

recent convert to the melvins and im pretty sure they are one of the best rock bands ever

[@joshnuse9219]

pubicenemy92 same here

[@charlesandrewmoore8699]

If in doubt, check their live set at Hell Fest w Coady and Jared from Big Business included in the lineup. Or just go see them live, any time. So worth it! \m/

[@JInfinity7]

Best rock bands and awesome human beings

[@mikolajjj]

Honestly love this guy. Best wishes Buzz.

[@mondola]

Buzz always gives the best interviews, never afraid to speak his mind. I also like Eric a lot as an interviewer, always let's his guest(s) speak.

[@antondillet466]

I think it’s the best interview I’ve ever seen. The questions are about the important things, they’re going into the deep with attention, care and respect. Two intelligent and thinking men are talking there. You can take some of it to your own. Thank you, Eric and Buzz!

[@blairingoutshow]

THANKS ANTON!!!! YOU RULE!!!! please sub my friend

[@antondillet466]

This here for short: I really appreciate people with an open mind, interest and a kind of curiosity, people which are brave enough to think unthought thoughts, which have ideas, desire to do something, which act after their own conscience and conviction, which are consequent and incorruptible. Because of that I portraied Buzz and Dale. Buzz will join the exhibition of this portrait project with images made by himself. Let’s see, what happens! Let’s get new experiences! I’m sorry about my Englisch!

[@peace.attack8971]

​@@blairingoutshow yeah, this is one of the best interviews I've ever seen of Buzz, great job man!

[@sombrance]

His laughter is fucking awesome.

[@CAKmusic]

This was one of the best interviews I've seen of Buzz.....watched the whole thing before scrolling down to the comments. Really good questions, and Buzz seems quite relaxed and happy to share

[@cliffordhritz5215]

Half way through and I have to say this is one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time. Buzzo is very interesting yo listen to. He would have made a great grade-school teacher. Would have kept the kids interested.

[@a5dr3]

Great interview. He asks educated questions and stays out of the way.

[@EdgeworthJohnstone]

really good interview "There's enough message bands out there."

[@aymericbas]

Buzz Osborne is a very clever and sensitive human being with a good sense of humor. It's always great to hear him talk.

[@Guitarmfig]

An amazing artist, I friggin love the Melvins

[@puresalemguitars3910]

Buzz is very inspirational.

[@PhilterA1]

Excellent interview .

[@komoleeray687]

Love the honesty about how happy he is in his marriage and how commitment’s important in making it work. Says he and his wife are weirdos who found each other and just made it work.. That’s about as “ role model” as you need if you’re still trying to work out the mysteries of love and marriage/relationships. We should try to strive to be as happy as he and his wife are

[@bornackerify]

Another excellent interview Mr. Blair.

[@shawneep1993]

Buzz, you guys are Dodger fans. I grew up in Elysian Valley right below Dodger Stadium. You signed my paints at a Fantomas concert. Thank you for being so down to earth!

Great questions from the interviewer, and of course, Buzzo such a great guy.

[@RickyHimself]

"Not millions, but enough" fucking brilliant quote, everyone should live by. Do what the fuck you want to do, even if you don't make quote "millions", but waking up and knowing you get to do something you love instead of going to some 9-5 shit job like a robot, is more satisfying then any amount of money.

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

awesome interview man, i love buzz osbourne, such an underrated musician and singer, i love his songwriting and i agree with a lot of his views! him and dale crover are incredible!

[@moistoyzter8884]

9:55 I love what he says about entertainers political opinions, thank you!!!!

[@mud5377]

Great interview! I've been watching a ton of videos with Buzz after having flashbacks to my years as a youngin discovering cool stuff like he was making in the 90s. Having videos like this available used to be pretty cool to me, but now I'm realizing just how important they are. This is historical! :D Thanks for the hard work you do!

[@josef2012]

[@neux64]

Very insightful when he talks about how he writes music. Musicians should listen to how he does it. Also, he listened to Beefheart. I figured he must have gotten inspiration from such idiosyncratic caliber similar to Frank Zappa.

[@danmalone7649]

I found out a long time ago that Mackie Osborne was the one who created SD's skeleton logo on the Mommy's Little Monster LP, but I never knew she also created the critter on the DI EP. As a punk from Fullerton who was about 14 when those records came out, I say: RAD.

great job, eric. and buzz was great, as usual, he has the same honest and unfiltered and sharp demeanor as albini.

I've always felt like Melvins lyrics exist more for cadence, for the way the words sound and not as much what they mean.

Ps, I used to have teeth like Buzz but I got them fixed , thanks
