here's the offending artwork The Melvins wanted to use. by V Hazelmyer, a young woman.   

Despite this going public, please modify the V to protect her privacy. Thank you.

I want a copy of the book just to have Buzz sign it. However, I won't be giving them any of my money. What they are doing is gross and they don't deserve it.

I listened to the podcast yesterday in its entirety. Here is my takeaway:

1. I am absolutely NOT shocked by anything Buzzo said. It just seemed like another interview.
2. GM is a certified tool and shouldn't be allowed to speak, ever.
3. If anything, Melvins only stand to lose some casual fans who probably had no idea he leans conservative. I can see some others really taking this to heart, and that's totally fine. It's their call. 

My only real concern is some of their more questionable art work and merchandise being taken out of context by bored music journalists and hipsters. Just wait til they see the trilogy vinyl! They'll immediately notice the huge red and black swastika, but won't bother to flip it and see the Star of David. All of the imagery represents symbols of hate, but that's the only one they will see. Just wait til they hear Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World and spin that a new one.

The biggest disappointment for me is the fact that he sat in with GM, but I'm over it. I am confident in myself enough to move forward and carry on. Unless the Trump administration starts using Honeybucket at rallies. If that happens we will have no choice but to pack up and move to Australia

Hi, long time listener, few times caller here.

Buzz has said many times "I don't know why people look to rock stars for political opinions." He's always been an advocate for self reliant thinking. He's joked about the absurdity of the punk rock culture's "norms" and has said "it amazes me that punk rock kids have so many rules about being punk rock." He's also very sarcastic and a bit of an absurdist.

I actually got to see the vid before it got taken down and had never heard of the guy that was interviewing him. The guy basically led the conversation, Buzz was just riffing his riff of punk rock and rules dont go together and the guy tied it to PC Cancel culture. I really don't think Buzz knew who this jerk was, I didn't. Then again I try to avoid bullshit. Thank you for reading my less than two cents, resume your normal programming. - End of line

I appreciate this. Thank you.

I'm just going to say it. Buzz made a bad move interviewing with that douche, but it's not like he was on there saying racist shit. It was from two years ago. I highly doubt he knew who he was getting into it at the time. It's no secret how he openly dislikes socialism and is pretty conservative. That's all. It doesn't make him a bad guy.

Shitkid using this to get attention and make money is some huge immature bullshit. As a female who swings leftish, I don't think it's an appropriate platform to try to make a fanbase for yourself.

Until I can see the interview or read anything from it, other than a meme clip, I'm going to assume buzz didn't know the ins and outs of the PB's. With his record dropping next week I don't think this will roll out well. Goddammit.

If anyone has that link can you message it to me please and thanks?


As far as shitkid goes.... what in the actual fuck?! I think their music is (literally) shit so I do not follow on any platforms and am just getting caught up on all the noise.

So let me get this straight... Dale drops their name in several interviews, they collab and tour together, shitkid gets pissed off about some art work, quits the tour, then releases a book (which is probably taken out of context) w text message exchanged from the band? That's a seriously shady and fucked up way to make a few bucks. So now they're inviting crowds to boo for them. Buzz would be like, the more you boo, the more we play.

Whatever went down is none of anyone's business, and releasing that book is a serious invasion of privacy that I do not condone. Now they are using this as a told ya so platform all over social media and printing more books.

Goddammit again. I'm heartbroken.

Anyway I've had a couple friends grab screenshots and ask me wtf is going on. I don't really know how to respond. I know buzz leans conservative, but GM and his proud boys are racist monsters. I wouldn't want to be caught 50ft away from that prick. Ugh.

Too late. Everything you've ever said, and everyone you've ever associated with, are now fair game for the cancel mobs. Time and degree of social removal are considerations that come from a place of privilege. In fact, your insinuation that these are somehow relevant is itself an act of white privilege.

Viva La Terreur.

stop it.

Touché.

I'm a bit confused to why this is surfacing. The interview is from a couple years ago. Apparently a couple of music forums and FB groups pulled this out of left field, and now it's trending and uncool to like melvins again.

I bet it was Dave Grohl, lol. Seeking revenge after all these years.

Imagine this. I actually don't think I'd mind it! I'd be able to see over heads and wouldn't have to fight to get up front.

Perfect for Melvins viewing. Looks like a blast

Why would he be deported? For a bunch of jokesters, you all are really bad at reading jokes.

I still don't appreciate calling buzz demeaning names. I'm not ok with that.

Don't fuck with Judge Judsters y'all! 

Damn straight

I'm one honey do away from asking for the banning fingers.


You're good, deathy 💕

Wow guys. Did you hear that? It sounds like you know Buzz on a personal level and really know what you're talking about.

Judge JUDSTERS here. No one calls King Buzzo a squealing pig on my watch.

You dick

Hmmmm. Something tells me it was THAT GUY who was being the dick about it.

I mean, it seems he is still feeling butt hurt about it

I like the bass player goat and the meat tin...not to mention the kick drum art is stellar. 

...and I really appreciate the toilet brush in there for good measures.. memories!

Thank you so much! I'm sorry i didn't see this sooner
I had the most fun with the goat. I started painting it, but it's not done.


I did paint the page I made for The Grumpy's Palmers book! Proceeds from book sales go to help the good employees there who are currently out of a job.

I made a few LP size prints if anyone's interested
They should be arriving tomorrow

Oh yeah! So the universe handed me this magical space harp and I've been plugging pedals in to play some ambio-metal. My end goal is to find a Brian Eno meets Merzbow fusion, but I've been wanting to do something melvinsy for control practice. Maybe I can get Brian to bass for me - I want to do Sacrifice

Also, I traded that painting a while back ago for a freak puke letter press variant. Let me know if you have something in mind via visuals, I'd love to contribute more art.

I'd love to use your work from the BBS Members Artwork Thread. Brad's work too. 2011 to 2015 the thread had a lot of activity. Truly great artwork!

You have my blessing. Just let me know what you want to use. I haven't posted any recent work, plus I notice photobucket is showing a watermark on my images. I probably went over the limit....

Artwork by Judy and Anaconda!

Goddammit. I'm willing to bet brad would be thrilled to have his work used.

Bravo!!


Great stuff

  Really nice to see you around here again
