With all these interviews of late i always think of questions i wish they would ask. But never do! Anyway for no other reason than because i can, here's a list of questions i wish would be sent Buzzo's way!
1. What is happening with the Void Manes collaboration? How did that come about? I hear it's maybe a set of Throbbing Gristle covers?
2. Steve McDonald said in an interview that you had asked him and his brother to feature on a "history of rock" project you had planned. Is that still happening? Anything you can tell us about it?
3. Pinkus mentioned that you guys have a Rolling Stones covers record already done called 'Sticky Feet'. Any truth to that?
4. Have you ever checked out any of Mark Deutrom's solo records the last few years? If so did you like them?
5. Mackie practices yoga - Have you ever tried it or have yoga sessions together?
6. The interior of your house is so cool - almost like a Melvins project in and of itself. Would you like your home to be preserved as a Melvins museum after your death?
7. What do you think about Shitkid selling a fanzine called Buzzkill of all your text messages back and forth with them documenting the falling out with each other?
8. Do you ever foresee a time when you might cut your hair really short?
9. How do you think Melvins might operate in later life? Into your 60's/70's and beyond?? Would you still tour or put out records? Maybe make more relaxed sounding music?
10. Do you think you might ever record another album with Kevin again?
11. What happened with Crystal Fairy? Any chance of new material there at some point? Or working again with Teri?
12. A few years ago you mentioned it might be fun to put together a bigger line-up of Melvins. You suggested perhaps having Steve on bass with Trevor on double bass. Do you think that could still happen?
13. Also a few years ago, a song titled 'The Silver' by you and Adam Jones appeared out of nowhere. Was there any more material recorded by you guys from that or the possibility of more in the future?
I'd be interested in those replies too, except maybe 6 and 8 it'd be interesting for sure.
With all the power, pull, and gravitas of the mighty Melvins BBS this should happen.
Yeah those are some good ones. 1, 4, 5, 7, 10, I'd dig knowing more about that shit.

Good questions! The idea of Buzz doing yoga in his Satan mumu is pretty hilarious to me. :lol:

3. Pinkus mentioned that you guys have a Rolling Stones covers record already done called 'Sticky Feet'. Any truth to that?
If there is, the track listing should be:
Bitch
Have You Hear Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow
Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Paint It Black
Midnight Rambler
Get Off of My Cloud
My Obsession
Street Fighting Man
Loving Cup
Brown Sugar
Heartbreaker
Monkey Man
The only question I'd ask Buzzo right now?
Addams or Munsters?
All great questions. Seems he'll do an interview with anyone, I'm sure you can make it happen!

Maybe message Buzz on instagram and see if he'd respond via message?

Vinny: Buzz, I'm glad you're here for this one question interview.
Buzz: I'm happy to be here, thanks for having me.
Vinny: So are you ready to answer some questions?
Buzz: No, let's wait awhile.

Ha! I can't see it myself!! Im no one, no journalist or media type. Just some guy off here. He said himself he only does interviews to promote his music. I can't see some fan getting to ask him questions. I think i'd be a bit scared to actually ask him!
I interviewed him about twenty years ago when he was in Fantomas, had no idea who the Melvins were at that point and asked him if theres a question he'd never been asked that he wishes he had, and he said no one ever asks him about his dogs.
I also asked if he was a cake what would it be, he said something heavy, so I offered Guacamole cheesecake, which he liked the idea of. Although thats pretty much the most Melvins song title, so couldn't have liked it that much.

Looks like some breasts have been surgically removed. I'm not a doctor, so it's just my observation. :-k

If vinny is doing an interview can he ask him if he's seen Beara's nonsense? :lol: If he hasn't does Buzz at least agree that us being dumb as hell is a GOOD thing and we shouldn't try to do a carbon copy of their music?

I've always wondered if he starts dancing when House of Pain "Jump Around" comes on. That song always gets my feet moving.

"The Choice is Yours" does the same for me.

I'd really like to know how often Buzzo seriously entertains the idea of giving a damn about it all and change his trademark 'fro after about 30 years to a simple "buzz"-cut?
Edit: Oh, I just saw that this was already question #8 in the original post. Didn't catch that when I read it...

That's an interesting one actually. I wonder if the dogs he has had over the years have influenced any songs.

I'm pretty sure I've read the chihuahua on the Nude With Boots cover is Mackie's dog. SO the answer is yes. I just answered for Buzzo lol

yeah i was watching this and i remember Lucia being very prominent on those early aughts tours and i was waiting for her to pop out. finally she does about halfway through. i referred back to your silly fema le frens thread and saw no mention of German, Germany, Deutschland, etc.
btw. KMFDM Light still holds up almost 30 years later. same chord progression as AIC - Man in the Box and PJ - Alive yet a million times better than that :merde: :lol:
I wonder if a Melvins+Tool+Jello Biafra album is in the works? They're all clearly friends.
This thread crept into my dream last night. I was tagging along to a Buzz interview and the interviewer didn't show up. It was finally my chance to ask all the song title and lyric questions that plague me. But I woke up before we actually got to the interview.
Goddamn mystery meanings.

Yes!! I'd like to ask about that too! Rather annoyingly i'd want detailed, thorough answers too. However i suspect Buzz would just reply that he saw those words/phrases somewhere and just jotted them down on a list. No big, grand underlining meaning or such.
Hi folx- longtime listener here, hardly ever post here, thanks for having me here.
I have a theory that a lot of the melvins/buzzo song lyrics are about people / characters / events in movies, Buzz is obliquely describing movie scenes and or storylines.
My first time really pondering this theory was The Bride Screamed Murder. I think the record is a sound version of a movie, not a soundtrack per se, a movie unto itself- or maybe a script, or screenplay, or whatever fancy word there is for the idea. The structure of the track sequencing and the way the songs play out line up for me. Even the cover art design brings to mind a movie, mine anyway.

I think that's a valid theory, Handsy. A Walk With Love and Death is a John Huston film, Buzz's favorite director.
Probably all quite true. Im sure a lot of song writers use existing art (film, comics, news stories etc) as inspiration or influence in writing what they write. Sometimes bands state that they have wrote a concept record while other times im sure some acts keep that fact slightly veiled. Left to the listener to discern and piece together.
I don't have any specific questions for Buzz, it would be cool just talking about random stuff without much of a context, and Just joke around a bit.
Having just noticed that Dale follows Federer, Djokovic and Nadal on Instagram, i really want to ask him about tennis now!!!

Have you guys noticed that when they play live, Buzz fairly often puts his (i think?) guitar pick in or to his mouth between the songs or in the moments where he is waiting to play? I wonder why he does that. Just something i've notcied a few times now.

most guitarists do.
easy place to stick it for finger pickin' then back to pick pickin' beats putting in your pocket...plus the mumu gots no pockets.
i would love a business journalist to do a story on the economics of the melvins. how their revenue streams work, what their release/merch/tour planning looks like. even without hard numbers it could be fascinating. they have become a model of surviving and thriving for decades in the music biz as a 100% independent outfit. it's a pretty rare thing.

melvins are a multi-level marketing scheme that goes no higher than the basement. Their NFTs are traded on FTX.
I'm so glad they never actually got into NFTs. I could hear Buzz grouching in my head " what are you buying? It's nothing. I can't even glue it on my ceiling. You're buying nothing. Why would I do that?" But I could also see them going crazy with limited edition art to capitalize on the brand, so, I dunno. I think we dodged a bullet.

He does that because the bit of moisture makes the pick stick to the fingers and easier to hold onto. Yeah, like fart lips said lots of guitarists do it. Buzz was asked about it in an interview and that's what I remember him answering.

I wonder if he's ever accidentally inhaled a pick on stage.
in my experience, the pick is only going there if you need to mess with the gear, all digits free. i just prefer to put it in the strings, but onstage lighting could make that hard i guess. you go to take it out and it shoots across the room like a rocket.
