Interview with The Melvins

During their latest visit to Toronto, AMBY had the absolute pleasure of speaking with grunge-rock legends The Melvins. Enjoy our exclusive interview for lots of laughs as the band discuss their love of Le Butcherettes, tour jokes, DIY ethics, favourite concerts, and advice for new musicians.

"A cop pulled me over for weaving, I said "weaving? I can't even knit!" :D I swear Melvins interviews are better than any comedy show.

[@ingingram7019]

I don't get it

[@TheZeekgeek1]

The young people miss the point, the Melvins have struggled for decades, and they are still on the road. The life of a working musician is not glamorous.

[@flash_flood_area]

Take a look at this year's tour schedule (2022) - it's brutal!

[@mondola]

I love the girl's energy (and she's cute too).

[@bigdog517]

And this is why I hate a good chunk of this music's fanbase

[@delhidelirium9091]

Dale seems to be the coolest, humblest of guys.

[@scottsmith6643]

"You can't do both." Best line!

[@XTheSonofTheSunX]

the doors over and over again would have me riding on the roof of the van. i

[@mikolajjj]

Absolutely love them. Thanks for the interview.

[@expedientself]

I could listen to Melvins interviews all day.

[@fuzzylumpkin49]

Great interview. Melvins were awesome as always. Would never have guessed they were fans of Judy Garland. ^_^

[@AliciaAtoutOfficial]

Thank you!

[@fuckamericanidiot]

@@Lewis1key Then you are probably the only person who isn't surprised that they like Judy Garland. Congrats.

Jeff Pinkus is the funniest, nicest guy.

[@EllakGr]

Great interview Alicia Tout! Nice to see someone well read giving intelligent questions and appreciating The Melvins’ sense of humour :)

[@ryanweatherman-holt4805]

Songwriting geniuses ^ Seriously.

[@thiagobarcellos2546]

Gracious girl!

[@greatclams6425]

That tour was rad. Le Butcherettes are bonkers live and they came back on stage for the Pop-o-pies part of Stick 'Em Up Bitch.

[@Yoshikid666]

It's super cool you interviewed the Melvins!!! I hope there comes a day where you're able to interview Mike Patton from Mr. Bungle/Fantomas/Faith No More and if that ever happens please ask him why they left out the song "Evil Satan" off the re-recorded "Ragging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo" Bungle released last October cause I've always wondered why they ignored it...

[@arthurdiniz7469]

Hahaha, very good, her smile is contagious!

[@AliciaAtoutOfficial]

+Arthur Diniz Thank you!

[@vilimbubas1302]

You all contagious i bet...

[@lMrFresno559l]

Buzz doesnt want you to believe there was a golden age because he has a vested interest in still selling records. He is a great business man actually.

[@glazinghost5951]

The "kids interview the melvins" video and this one are my favorites You do a great work!1

[@davidrule1335]

Can someone help me ..understand Buzz's hair?

It's a filamentous biomaterial consisting mainly of proteins, in particular keratin. Hope that helps!

just getting into marvellous Melvins. I'm sure Butcherettes are lovely people, but their music's for pre-teens, imo...

[@HerenowGoneforever]

Smell buzz'zezz fingers.

Why is everyone creeping on the interviewer

[@leoantonio]

Tom Sawyer is no fuckin’ joke, boys. Neither is Red Barchetta.

[@BeeAyeSueRah]

All the same height

[@jwise209]

I hate when they joke about Rush:( but I know it's really because they respect them deep down. Grrrr

[@gmac2558]
