new Melvins interview

[Courtney]

Hey! Our comedy channel on YouTube just did a crazy interview with Buzz and Dale that came out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTtnqjVRJ3A

[Pringles]

Wow this was great. Thanks

I applaud the interview and the efforts taken to undertake it, but i REALLY didn't like the comedy. It's fine if people want to do that but personally im not a fan of when interviewers - or people in general - put on a persona (which is ironic since my username is obviously NOT my name) to be hip or cool or ironic or entertaining. The gelled hair and glasses reminded me heavily of Neil Hamburger. Another "comedian" i don't find funny whatsoever. Actually, i don't find any comedian's funny at all so im probably a joyless git. So i guess it's more my dislike for that than the interview being bad.

Speaking in a broader sense, for me when it comes to interviews i prefer serious inquiry and not tomfoolery and japes as is often the case with Melvins interviews. Something that bugs me about that is that even when someone interviews the band in a serious manner, they will fuck around and get all silly rendering the interview itself pointless. I kinda hate Buzz and Dale for that every time. I want serious musicians God damn it! As a fan i want insight and revelation into their music not stupid in-jokes and attempts to belittle or make fun of the interviewer.

That was great, Courtney! Still laughing. The outro music was perfect, too.

jules, Grim Reaper, buddy holiday, bUTTHOLEmAN - thanks so much for checking it out! I'm happy you liked it.  I didn't really think they'd do it, so when their super nice publicist wrote back and said yes, I was surprised (and more than a little excited!).

That was funny and great. Buzz and Dale are two clever bastards.

Melvins are at their best, when both the interviewer and they can joke and fuck around, as much as they want. This is an interview I watch from start till end, not like with standard interviews, where they ask about the same old stuff, everyone prior has asked them. Btw, is the hair inspired by Neil Hamburger? PS! You should visit Ecumenical discussion on this board, and liven it up!

Bravo!

I thoroughly enjoyed it. The jokes were great and the YES-AND feel of most of it was fun, too, even when it didn't make sense.

The "shoot em both in the head" answer could have been used for any number of interviews in previous years. We've had enough of the Nirvana questions thanks.
