Title: Interview I had with Buzz
Post by: WGB on January 24, 2012, 04:46:43 PM
When I was younger I wanted to see Fantomas for free so I got asked to interview them, I wasn't a Melvins fan at this point, but I quickly became one afterwards.  Don't make too much fun of me, I'd never done it before, or since really.

It's not every day that a band like Fant

Cool interview, thanks for sharing.

This is a general comment that isn't a negative comment on your interview. I don't understand why Buzz is never asked about reading. What are his favorite books? Favorite authors? What books would he recommend? If he could force everyone to read a book, which one would it be?

The same could be said for movies.

Yeah, most interviews are about music questions.

unless there's something crazy and new and exiting in the works, it's all the same general questions mainly, and I'd rather want to talk about something other than my own band all the time If I was Buzz or Dale. 

I Did like that Fantomas interview talking about how the sound console caught fire mysteriously and melted and bubbled out black ooze or something...heheh.

I forget when and where I read THAT, but Buzz Did talk about a bit about how weird touring with Patton was.

I BET!

anyway yeah, I guess It's rare to get a certain "angle" Especially in a Melvins interview, and assuming all the Readers of the interview already know a great deal about the bands History.

then it could get more interesting or involved.

After a Melvins show in 2000, I asked the King about books. I was real into Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs at the time, and asked him what he thought of the beat stuff. He said he didn't care for much of that, and that Kerouac was an alcoholic who died at home with his mommy. :)) He did say that he thought Burroughs was ok. At the time, he said he was reading a book about wwII, I believe. It was definitely war related. And, he said he prefers nonfiction.
Sidenote: My friend was wearing a Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt, and Buzzo pointed at it and said "you oughta rethink that shirt". I've always loved that.

I think you might be right, there was a les thugs on sub pop, but if he's listening to the Sonics then it's more likely it's the Fugs and I just misheard him.  It was about 8 years ago.

Great job on the interview. Hard to believe that is 8 years ago already. Interesting that Buzz mentioned Sideways. Must have been in the theaters in 2004. Great movie IMO. Book is good also, but much darker and Miles more of a tough guy.

"Don't make too much fun of me, I'd never done it before, or since really."

There is nothing to make fun of about this.  This was an interesting interview.  I hope you do more one day.

:lol: @ the kerouac and pumpkins comments. That's awesome.

He definitely strikes me as a nonfiction type guy. I remember that someone on this board unearth that The Mechanical Bride was probably named after this book : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride:_Folklore_of_Industrial_Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mechanical_Bride:_Folklore_of_Industrial_Man)

"What you said was true from a certain point of view"
Compared to episodes 1 and 2, episode 3 was slightly not as bad.
