Here is some interesting information sent in by
Alan:
I worked at the recording studio where the Melvins recorded
Houdini. I was only there a couple of times a week, but the only person I ever
saw play bass was Billy Anderson. I never heard mention of anyone else. Buzz
was a little angry that Cobain didn't come down early and do any pre-production
for the album. Buzz felt that Kurt could have done more to shape the sound,
talking about ideas, rather than just showing up to watch someone hit record.
I talked to the other people who worked there and they said all they ever saw
Cobain do was sleep. I felt that Billy was more of a producer on that album
than anyone else. My favorite memory of talking
to Buzz was on the first day, and we're just waiting around. He said something
like, "I just did this interview for this guitar magazine, and they ask
me about my technique. And I say, 'technique I don't have any technique, I just
play.'"
Here are a couple pictures of Buzz taken during the early Houdini sessions in 1992 at Razor's Edge, San Francisco, sent to me by Billy Anderson
