Melvins' Buzz Osborne interview on: Life, The Universe and Golf

[@VinlandicSoul]

I decided to see what Buzz was up to these days when I stumbled upon this interview. Easily THE BEST interview I’ve ever seen with him. It felt very natural, very conversational. I like That. Thanks for doing this video!

[@75YBA]

Call him Roger, it will make him suffer from narcissistic injury.😂

[@darthnihilus511]

Just discovered these guys. Holy fucn amazing!!

[@grampagamingguy6833]

Check out the "Revolve" live version from 1995. It's a banger.

[@darthnihilus511]

@@grampagamingguy6833 have you listened to “Senile Animal”? It’s very good.

[@meatforyourmom]

Just discovering the Melvin’s?? How i wish i could redo that. Houdini, stag, and Lysol are some of the most mind blowing and amazing records ever. It’s no wonder how many bands site them as an influence and they never ever disappoint; live.

Lysol

A lot of the time Buzz really suffers for his art and this is one of those occasions.

[@BataraKado]

its so funny buzz says he never uses marshall heads or tube heads yet here i see buzzo at every show since 2023 to 2024 using a marshall 900 head at every show.

It’s a sport for boring old men, perfect fit.

Any more on this with Dale ??? something happenend? brainsurgery ?!?!? thanks

[@goobienoob3589]

@Knightberit if you still haven't heard he had to have a pretty gnarly surgery on his back so that he can keep playing. All is going well and they were just joking about the brain damage thing. Thank God for Cody!

[@Knightberit]

@@goobienoob3589 yeah I found a recent chat between dale and Dave Lombardo, go watch it was really good, there he explained ..it's the old multiple discs completely mashedn and a few fused spine eehm, bones ?? 🥳👍.. 2-3 isnt rare but it is quite managble I understand...thanks for extending some info anyways bro

[@bongeggs]

Buzz seems tired or irritated with the interview

[@colinhodson2410]

I think he was anxious cause he was waiting for Dale to call him.

[@scottjensen7045]

That’s Buzz. An awkward standoffish true artist weirdo who gives zero dhits what anybody thinks. He is one of a kind and one hell of a songwriter

[@sadderthanyou7793]

He works hard, but Buzz doesn't have a job. He has a passion which pays. If only that was attainable for everybody...

[@scottsharp1763]

He's a good sport.

[@TheMinishKid]

I’ve seen a lot of Buzz interviews…he seems disinterested and sort of unimpressed in this one. Still, great content though, always great to hear Buzz talk!

[@sajjadhusain4146]

The woman interviewing him is just so unprepared, clueless, silly and annoying. It is infuriating and almost unwatchable. I saw it through because Buzz did, too.

[@retrovideo2124]

Interviewer was just fine. Very pleasant respectful and had questions prepared. He was most likely down considering his best friend was having invasive surgery that very day.

I totally agree. ​@retrovideo2124

Interviewer: "When's your birthday?" Buzz: "My "natal" birthday??" 😏Seriously??

[@75YBA]

Call him Roger, his fragile ego can’t handle it. Surprised to see him not ranting about Grohl. One of the most blatant narcissists in music. He constantly insults people and his sycophants enable him.

[@belfastgypsy1]

Buzz with his too cool for school schtick. Great band, hate the ‘sensitive artist’ bit.

[@UFOria212]

Is it really a bit after 40 years, though? That's just how he is.

[@belfastgypsy1]

Maybe, could just be that guy now

[@AJ-xy5ji]

Buzz has kept going artistically in a way that almost nobody else has for over 40 years, while seeing EVERYONE else from their time either lose it, go inactive for long periods, or just stop completely. He and Dale have never made millions and have kept an amazing work ethic the whole time that is pretty much unheard of in the music community, especially for bands that don’t make much money. It’s a lot easier to keep going for years if your band makes enough for buses and a big crew. The Melvins still tour the country in a van, and Buzz does the driving. They are among the absolute best examples of working class musicians making weird music that you can ever find.

[@dannycolverson6944]

​@@AJ-xy5jiThe Melvins definitely make a reasonable stack of cash these days, which they should because they work insanely hard. They've played 1300 shows in the last 20 years. Let's assume they made $5k for each of those gigs, that's $100k each for the last 20 years. They probably average a lot more than $5k a night these days. They're not poor

[@AJ-xy5ji]

Dale has said in an interview that he makes around $75,000 on a good year. Buzz might make a bit more on any backend royalties as songwriter, but these guys are solidly working class in a way that is rare in the music community. That 75k of income doesn’t go far living in California, or even in a lower income state like where I live. He and Buzz have both said they can’t afford not to tour, there is no retirement plan, no big savings waiting for them after they hang it up. They’re in the shit with all of us working folks, in ways that absolutely none of their peers were able to match or keep up with.

[@henrysouthern9869]

overrated crap band we all know why anybody knows them
