Melvins - Live Goat
Saturday, 01 July 2006
Interviewed By Vaggelis Evaggelou
In a sense, MELVINS are the perfect band. They are experienced musicians since they've been around for more than 20 years, they have faithful fans, they've released dozens of albums, EPs, 7"s etc. so no matter how many MELVINS records you own, there will be always another "Holy Grail" for you to look for, some of their members play in FANTOMAS, their steps from album to album are unpredictable and most important of all, they don't give bullshit answers in interviews because they're professionals and understand the significance of a proper promotional strategy for their work. In the following interview Buzz Osborne (vocals, guitar) answers to questions you always wanted to ask, questions that cover important issues like philosophy, religion, art and human relationships.
M.I: Interviews through email suck, don't they? Maybe it's your neighbourhood cleric or something in front of the screen answering my questions instead of you. How can I be sure it's the real MELVINS?
Do these sort of interviews suck? I suppose but who knows really? I could be and will be telling you all sorts of bullshit but I could and would be doing that even if you were talking to me in person. Almost every interview I've ever done has been nothing but complete bullshit. Except for that last sentence.
M.I: I read in an older interview that you are into Cryptozoology (M.I: the study of animals and organisms that don't exist, don't tell me you didn't know what that was!). What's the most fascinating cryptozoon?
The fact that we know very little about anything around us. Our whole world is a mystery. Most people think they KNOW everything. Some people even think we now control the weather. How stupid can they be?
M.I: How difficult was it convincing Trevor Dunn (MR. BUNGLE, FANTOMAS) to join you for the recording of "Houdini Live"?
Trevor likes us and was happy to do it.
M.I: "Houdini Live" was made under time pressure. Are you satisfied with it or do you think you could do it better if you had more time?
Made under "time pressure"? What does that even mean? It sounds to me like YOU are the one who's not "satisfied" with our new "Houdini" record. I think it's super cool and groovy.
M.I: Recently "We Reach: The Music Of The Melvins", your very own tribute album, was released. Did you like the result? What's your favourite cover on the record?
I have yet to even hear a single song on it. I did hear MASTODON do "The Bit" live once though and I thought it sounded great.
M.I: Don't you love the voice of Julie Xmas (MADE OUT OF BABIES)?
Never heard of her.
M.I: The necessary question about future plans: New MELVINS album? When? How will it sound? Any album plans from your other bands?
We will begin recording a new record with the Big Biz guys on July 1st and it will sound really really cool. Right now there are NO plans for a new FANTOMAS record; in fact I don't think Mike's even written a single song for it.
M.I: Why should someone listen to the MELVINS? What was/is/will be your gift to humanity after more than 20 years of existence?
Why should someone read your magazine? I have no "gift to humanity". If I could come up with a gift to humanity and it could be anything I wanted then I'd make a disease that you get from NOT having sex. Reverse AIDS for the masses.
M.I: What's your favourite MELVINS song and album?
"Teresa screams" and "Colossus of Destiny" " (M.I: the first one is a track without music from a MELVINS 7"released in 1996. It's just girls screaming for the band. The second is an album released in 2001 including a 59 minute song full of loops, noise experimentations and things like that).
M.I: Lots of reunions these days. Are they pointless or are some of them useful for the greater good? Did you listen to the new CELTIC FROST album?
I don't mind reunion tours because I most likely wouldn't go anyway. I did go see CREAM last year and I really enjoyed that. I haven't heard the new CELTIC FROST album but I did see them 20 years ago. They were.... OK I guess.
M.I: Do you like SUNNO)))? What about THRONES?
I've never heard SUNNO))) and believe it or not, I don't spend a lot of time listening to the THRONES.
M.I: MELVINS CDs are pretty pricey in record stores of my country. May I download your discography or should I rather move to the U.S.?
You should move to the U.S. no matter how expensive CD's are. Stop drinking beer and smoking pot for a month or two and you would have plenty of cash for CD's. It's funny that you never hear people bitch about how much cigarettes beer or drugs cost, just CD's. Go figure.
M.I: Name the best and the worst band you think you've been an influence for.
MOTLEY CRUE and GREEN DAY.
M.I: In my info-searching orgy about MELVINS I read about the existence of "MELVINS super fans". I didn't really understand what the definition of a "MELVINS super fan" is. It's like having all things you guys ever released or is it something beyond commodity fetishism?
I don't even really get what it is you are asking so I'll just say that a "MELVINS super fan" is someone who lets me rape their sister.
M.I: Now this was a surprise. How did it come to adding BIG BUSINESS to your line-up?
We just figured "why not?". So far so good.
M.I: How much money do you make from record sales?
I've made at least 30 million dollars off of each and every record I've put out, including FANTOMAS.
M.I: ANAL CUNT has a song entitled "When I think of true punk rock bands, I think of NIRVANA and the MELVINS". Your comments?
As well they should. When I think of "true punk rock bands" I DON'T think of ANAL CUNT. I wonder if ANAL CUNT have ever heard NAPALM DEATH...? I doubt it.
M.I: Are you still on tour as FANTOMAS/MELVINS BIG BAND? How are the shows until now? Any weird incidents?
Everything is a weird incident when it comes to those fucking bastards. I hate them all and I hope I never set eyes on them again. Except for Dave Lombardo. Me and Dave are pals. I even baby-sit his fucking kids! (M.I: my kingdom for a video of Buzz playing with Lombardo's kids)
M.I: Describe the following people using three words for each of them: Jello Biafra, Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn.
Big Fat Idiot for all of them.
M.I: When will you stop making music and playing shows?
Never.
M.I: Did you like my questions?
Not really, you seem like a smart ass.
M.I: Thanx for your time. End interview with a cool sentence.
Metal Hammer is fucking sweet.
some of those answers are really "Homer"

i get the feeling that all these web interviews make roger cranky. :lol:
You read it here Melvins super fans: Buzz wants to rape your sister.
Thanks Klump.
man, that went sour. it seems if you're planning on interviewing buzz you better have your A game. don't try to be witty and don't try to push his buttons. it just doesn't work on your end.
respect, intelligence and melvins-history knowledge are a must.
you're not going to out-cute and out-wit buzzy, the grandmastrer himself. so just handle your end. he'll handle his.

Also if you are going to interview the Melvins, (ahem Vinney!) RELEASE THE FUCKER!!!!
Where is Vinman anyway? On a unpaid sabbatical?

God Bless him.

I get the impression from that statement that he DOES believe in global warming.

Does King Buzzo not believe in Global Warming?
i can really see it either way.
1. some people think we will have the power to cool it off around here: so global warming is real, and idiots think it isn't a problem
2. some people think we have the power to make it hotter around here: idiots think we are causing global warming, which is untrue.
I side with Mr.Gore, and i have serious contempt for anyone who doesn't. Unwavering contempt. if my best friend told me he didn't believe in global warming and isn't going to do anything about it, i'd tell him he is an ignorant moron. we'd still be friends, but i'd think he's an ass.
I think he means your second thought, and how can you not believe in global warming? I mean, even in Holland it was fucking hot the last few weeks, although it's raining cats and dogs now again.

"you'd think that it would perpetually get hotter, not fluctuate so much."
Actually, that was part of Al Gore's whole point. One of the things he pointed out in his movie (which every one here should watch) was that Temperatures are fluctuating at a ridiculous degree. "Global Warming" is kind of a misnomer. It's really all about climate change that is out of our control. The vast majority of scientists acknowledge its existence, save for the ones who are paid by the oil companies.
and the ones who claim we are the cause dont get huge grants from ultra liberal or socialist entities and other countries? china is by far the worst polluter in the world, care to do something about that? who pays who? global warming is more a political scheme than anything else.
Quote from: FART LIPS on August 02, 2006, 01:59:46 PM
this is where threads get really long. btw, while the planet has warmed a single degree in the last 100 years, our participation in such has yet to be proven by any scale.

Do you where a tinfoil hat? Where do you get the idea that all climatologists are conspiring to initiate socialism? What is to be gained from such a venture? Your posts clearly reflect a general lack of knowledge on the science of global warming, and/or an unwillingness to admit that the political right may have been misled on this issue.

first of all, don't trust "trusted magazines". peer-reviewed journals are the only reliable source of information.
my final thought is this: even if it is all wrong, somehow the science is incorrect, what do we lose by acting as if global warming is occurring? it can only make things better. recycling, sustainable fuels, energy conservation, clean power, less driving, more trees, etc. all this stuff is great and will only improve quality of life. how can anyone be an enemy of anti-global warming efforts?
it is unethical, selfish, foolish, and probably un-patriotic (whatever the appropriate word for that may be).
can someone think of a downside to cleaning up our act?
i bet less people would get cancer.
i tend to agree with what you are saying about both sides being equally guilty of attempting to cause panic. i guess what i think (and this is my immediate reaction to your post, without thinking or researching at all, which is usually bad) is that The Truth about these complicated issues [i.e. is there climate change, what exactly is causing it, how would taking steps in the direction of fixing it effect capitalism, etc.] is so twisted and buried, that I believe it is possible that it may be beyond our ability to locate and define. We are a pretty intelligent species, but we are also very emotional. i'm not sure why i said that, but it seems that it could effect our ability to arrive at a truth.
i guess all i am saying is that whether or not it is true, if the fact that it may be true can motivate a small amount of global change should be capitalized on, and work should be done to set those changes in motion on the individual level. EVERYTHING is global, and global = political, and political = propaganda, deception, selfishness. There's no way we'll arrive at a fundamental kernel of truth; the way i see it, i'd rather risk capitalism and the ability to generate wealth, than risk the environment along with our and future generations' abilities to continue living.
seems to me like it is a large enough issue that even a shadow of risk should be addressed immediately.
Could you please link or list the issues of the peer-reviewed journals that you claim to dispute the theory that human beings have a significant impact on climate change? Debating back and forth is all well and good but I would like to see the cold hard facts.
I have many, many problems with Al Gore but when it comes to his stance on global warming, the guy is incredibly informed. And all of the information he dispurses throughout "An Inconvenient Truth" are easily verifiable and accountable. The vast majority of the facts come from peer-reviewed articles from Nature and other scientific journals.
By the by, he never said so blatantly, "I invented the internet". That is just some of the twisted jargon disseminated from his political opponents, the same twisted facts you purport to disdain. It was something that got blown out of proportion and became an easy sound bite to attack a man who was much more suited and prepared for the presidency. I cannot imagine George Bush speaking eloquently or passionately about anything, like Al Gore does when it comes to global warming.

Here's a picture that was on the website the interview can be found. Nice subtle Gun Club reference there on Buzz's shirt.
hah!
if he wore that shirt now-a-days he'd be mistaken for claudio of coheed and cambria.

It is "time for a national oil change," said Al Gore with a sly wink in his voice. "That is apparent to anyone who has looked at our national dipstick."
This was one of the few moments of comedy in what was billed as a "major policy address" Monday by the former veep. In an uncharacteristically formal speech to students, faculty, and a throng of top reporters gathered in a New York University auditorium, Gore -- after a year spent chronicling the climate crisis in lectures, film, and print -- turned to the subject of solutions. He outlined a host of policy proposals both familiar and strikingly new, rarely interjecting quips of the sort that have consistently endeared him to audiences in recent months.
"My purpose is not to present a comprehensive and detailed blueprint [of future climate policy], for that is a task for democracy as a whole," intoned Gore, "but rather to try to shine some light on a pathway through this terra incognita that lies between where we are and where we need to go."
The pathway Gore described began with "immediately freezing [carbon dioxide] emissions and then beginning sharp reductions." Reminiscent of the nuclear freeze of the '70s, Gore's proposed carbon freeze "has the virtue of being clear, simple, and easy to understand," he argued. "It can attract support across partisan lines as a logical starting point for the more difficult work that lies ahead."
Standing against a stately backdrop of American flags -- gone were the flashy visuals that usually accompany his climate speeches -- Gore projected a decidedly more somber and serious persona than the exuberant, almost giddy character we've seen pumping his fists and cracking jokes as he roared around the world on his climate lecture circuit. It was a persona that, if you squinted just right, seemed almost ...
Yes, presidential. Indeed, Gore's protestations that he has no intention of becoming a 2008 presidential contender have been getting weaker. Add to that the recent news that Gore will be publishing a book next May entitled The Assault on Reason -- a meditation on the ineptitude of political leaders paralyzed by their "unwillingness to let facts drive decisions" -- and it's enough to drive the media to distraction.
Little wonder, then, that rumors have begun to circulate that the White House may announce a major new climate policy in order to steal Gore's gathering thunder. (If Karl Rove can convince Bush to turn on his buddy Michael Crichton, you know the Republican Party senses shifting winds.)
Despite its formality, Gore's speech focused on uplift: "Many Americans are now seeing a bright light shining from the far side of this no-man's land that illuminates not sacrifice and danger," he said, "but instead a vision of a bright future that is better for our country in every way -- a future with better jobs, a cleaner environment, a more secure nation, and a safer world."
Such effulgent optimism is new. The whole lecture, in fact, seemed a response to the most common criticism levied against Gore's climate presentations -- that they are too clouded with doom and gloom, failing to convey a hopeful, can-do message (despite his frequent observation that the climate crisis presents equal parts danger and opportunity).
With the exception of a mention at the outset of yet more evidence of rapidly melting polar ice caps, the speech focused entirely on solutions. In fact, it was an exhaustive laundry list of dozens of such solutions, with no shortage of wonky detail, and peppered with assurances to the tune of, "This is a major source of hope!"
Many we've heard before: so-called stabilization wedges, as outlined by Princeton professors Stephen Pacala and Rob Socolow, which would solve the climate crisis with an array of existing technologies; the "25 x '25" proposal from the agriculture community, which would dramatically expand the use of biofuels and renewable energy; increasingly affordable and effective solar panels, wind turbines, and green architecture; "flex-fuel, plug-in, hybrid vehicles" that can run on gasoline, biofuels, and electricity; and a decentralized electricity grid with smaller generators located closer to the points of use.
Also back, in vaguely retro fashion: Kyoto. Gore argued that the U.S. is obligated to play a lead role in developing a new global treaty on climate change. "Since the [Kyoto] treaty has been so demonized in America's internal debate, it is difficult to imagine the current Senate finding a way to ratify it," he said. "But the United States should immediately join the discussion that is now underway on the new, tougher treaty that will soon be completed. We should plan to accelerate its adoption and phase it in more quickly than is presently planned."
Some unexpected, outside-the-box proposals popped up as well. One he has been advocating "for the last 14 years," he said (to the surprise of many who remember no such proposal in, say, the 2000 campaign), would eliminate all federal payroll taxes -- Social Security and unemployment compensation included -- and replace the revenue with a pollution tax on CO2. "The overall level of taxation would remain exactly the same," explained Gore. "It would be, in other words, a revenue-neutral tax swap. But instead of discouraging businesses from hiring more employees, it would discourage businesses from producing more pollution."
He also proposed a new Carbon Neutral Mortgage Association -- a wonky idea redeemed by a cute nickname, "Connie Mae" -- to help finance more efficient buildings and eventually zero-energy, zero-emission architecture. Builders often bypass efficient features like thicker insulation and better windows, Gore noted, because these investments elevate construction costs on the front end, even though they pay for themselves within a few years. "It should be possible to remove the purchase-price barrier for such improvements through the use of innovative mortgage finance instruments," he said.
Throughout the address, Gore's calls to action were couched in a thick layer of patriotism: "In order for the world to respond urgently to the climate crisis, the United States must lead the way. No other nation can ... Our natural role is to be the pace car in the race to stop global warming."
Could the U.S. shift from obstructionist to leader on global-warming policy? It sounds far-fetched, perhaps, but no more so than the notion that climate change -- once the exclusive obsession of environmentalists and climatologists -- could catapult a man once written off as a historical footnote back into the presidency.

Check this website out, it's nice.
It's a dubious philosophy masked in pseudo science. Not much different than eugenics in the late 1800's -early to mid 1900's. Natural occurances like volcanic eruptions put out more CO2 than we ever did during the Industrial Revolution. We know very little about climate change other than the fact we have 4 seasons. I'm not saying that we should not pursue technological advances, but to think we are headed toward oblivion if we do not drastically change our ways sooner rather than later, is nothing but fear mongering without any basis of reliable records. So the evidence does not convince me that we are the chief cause of it. The ozone hole was only just discovered in 1982. For all we know it could have been there for who knows how long even prior to the Industrial Revolution.
True but all those suburban tanks aren't helping either.
I've said it before and i'll say it again unless you live in buttfuck nowhere and have to drive over fucking sanddunes, mountains, dirt roads, mudd, etc to get the work a SUV is fucking unnecessary.
Above all it's just a question of respect and responsability. You don't go over to your friends and throw trash all over the place, right? Then why do it on poor planet earth?
Here's just a few examples of how some people lack respect for the environment and are about as responsible as a 5 year old toddler. I regularly take walks in the woods or fields near my house. Cowards who are too lazy to call the city to ask where they can get rid of their paint, appliances, junk, etc. they just fucking dump it in the woods or in fields. That shit drives me fucking insane. It takes two fucking seconds to pick up a damn phone and talk to someone who'll give you all the information you need. They'll tell you where and when to bring your crap.
Like joe I don't think we're heading for armageddon or "day after tomorrow" crap but that doesn't mean we can just treat our planet like shit and throw our junk everywhere.
I like my strolls in the woods. Please don't take them away from me. :(
I agree with all you said, except the SUV part. Most of the people I see driving them have families and they use them for the same purpose as those who have minivans. Just because they are 4 wheel drive, SUV's should not be looked at as being unecessary. Granted there are those who do not have families who buy them for status symbols only and then the question comes up: what right do they have to buy an SUV? Well, it is a free country and if they want to spend all that money on fuel and what it takes to insure the luxury edition SUV's, then they can. Should the federal government stop them from doing that? I don't think the Fed should be allowed to do so nor would it be constitutional to legislate laws that would make that happen.
I own an SUV. I don't have a family. I keep it now because I like to go camping. I can pack all my gear in it, and then some. I always pack out what I brought in and sometimes more. Is my SUV a neccesity? No. But I like it and I can afford it. I do what I can to keep from making a mess of this rock we're on, but I'm not going to stop driving my "suburban tank".
We live in a fairly stable environments which not last long (geologically speaking). A shift in temperatures by 20-30 degrees f. would be enough to create massive difficulties for the human race. Don't kid yourselves we are hitching a ride and our time here is quite limited. That being said we could, if we ever wise the fuck up, stop fighting over resources like some trampled gift shopper looking for the last cabbage patch doll and make something special out of our borrowed time. I know that petroleum and other non renewable resources allow me to type the message I am writing but we could do it in a more intelligent way (everything on this planet is powered by the sun) which doesn't spawn global wars and leave the atmosphere filled with our leftover crap.
A shift in temperatures by 20 or 30 degree's would create massive difficulties for the human race? Variations in heat like this happens during seasonal changes. Specifically when comparing summer and winter. I don't know why you think you live on an eggshell but there are no overwhelming verifiable evidences that this world is heading for destruction (geologically or ecologically). I'm all for viable alternative fuels and energy, and I believe America will be the place where they will be created, it's on the horizon. But I hope you are not of the opinion that this would usher in a blissful, happy era that extends all over the world and the human race would be on the brink of an egalitarian golden age.
if the temperature permanently shifted by 20 degrees in either direction the planet would be beyond fucked.
the temperature change being discussed here is very different than seasonal temperature variations. by the way, "season" is a relative term. think about equatorial seasons versus extremely far north seasons and you'll see what i mean.
we do live on an eggshell
far north seasons? we have spring, summer, fall and winter like everyone else :) or are you talking about the north pole?
You are free to think that. However is there any indication of convincing evidence that this is happening? No, because the 20-30 degree temperature change that deatheats is talking about is an extreme and unrealistic Day After Tomorrow situation. But like I said you are free to think that. I don't think that because the evidence that this is occuring or going to occur in a short period of time like in ten years or something is not there.
And we do not live on an eggshell. I'm not closing my eyes to this. I remain open minded. But I know fear mongering and an attempt of even more government control when I see it and that is what almost all of it is. Now you can have contempt for me if you want because I take this stance but I'm not going to lose any sleep over that. I can't control how you feel about me.

i didn't say you don't have seasons. i'm just saying that amount of seasonal change varies relative to latitude.

government control? do you see the government trying to anything substantial about this problem? what fear-mongering? the only ones scared are the scientists and other open-eyed sane people because nobody is listening to them.
One that comes to mind is Kyoto Treaty. And the EPA would absolutely love more power.
the kyoto protocol is government fear mongering and control?
if by fear mongering you mean the U.S. government is scaring the crap out of us by choosing not to participate in it....
Unless people fundamentally change their outlook on life and how they interact with the world kyoto isn't going to change anything.
Are you scared? Vinny the United States is the largest emitter of "Greenhouse" gases because of the burning of fossil fuels. Want to know who the second largest is and is projected to become the largest by 2030? China, yet they would be exempt from the Kyoto Protocol. If it was really about the environment they would not be exempt. Vinny it is an attempt at a power grab utilizing the politics of fear by globalists within our own government and I am sure by the United Nations. Want to know who else is a big user of fossil fuels but would also be exempt? India. Like I said this amounts to hypocrisy and I believe that the effects of CO2 are being overstated to tilt our hand. There is not enough credible evidence and this is all about control and not the environment. Australia refuses to ratify it too for similar reasons to do with the other top emitters.
you know the only way to fix the environment is to...
RELEASE THE FUCKING INTERVIEW!!!
now that's what I call a fucking prayer.

if the temperature permanently shifted by 20 degrees in either direction the planet would be beyond fucked.

I know this is an old thread but I do believe this is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen on this BBS and that is saying a lot.
*shudder*
Gross. See you guys next album. I gotta go, I'm getting dumber by reading this shit.

Al Gore went to the Arab oil man and said

:lol:
I'm kidding, but man this thread goes from a normal Buzz interview we're all used to and would just read and laughed, too .....just WOW. :shock:
On other note. I'm giving Basses Loaded the head phone treatment and man. Choco Plumbing and Beer Hippie are all over my nuts right now. I retract my earlier statement about Jared. His voice with Buzz is great.
They need to send me my Basses Loaded CD (+hat) or at least an e-mail. Ordered 2 months ago. Geez!!! :?

To be honest I was really surprised how quick I got it (+Melvins Army patch).

If you stare at this long enough, it has the exact same effect has huffing paint! Trust me. I've been staring for hours now and I'm pretty sure I've passed out several times already. YOWZAA
