MELVINS Interview (1992)

King Buzzo & Dale Crover of MELVINS (Buzz, mostly) are interviewed by Grant Alden on 10/30/92 on the 11th Floor of Rockefeller Center (Atlantic Records corporate suites) in New York, NY. Lorax was also present, but retreats to the bathroom, never to return. Topics include: equipment used by MELVINS, being signed to Atlantic Records, weird tunings, influences, etc.
The two photos in the vid were snapped by Rick Shipley at Bogarts in Long Beach, CA on 3/6/93. Watch that show here if you like:

MELVINS are one of my favorite bands that have ever walked the planet. I saw them over 20 times from 1993-2002, from the Lorax days to the Rutmanis era. I had the pleasure of meeting our lord & master, the mighty King Buzzo, at Lollapalooza Fest in New Orleans in 1996. We talked for about 20 minutes as we watched Soundgarden together. We have some mutual friends (members of EYEHATEGOD, namely), so we hit it off quite well. Dale, I met on a separate occasion -- his side band ALTAMONT played a show here in NOLA in 1999 & he invited me to come to the CD-release party for MELVINS - 'The Maggot', which was held at Mushroom Record Store the next day. I took him up on his offer. ALTAMONT played in the record store, along w/ a few of my friends' bands. MELVINS are cool cats & you should support them any way you can.
